Basket-Ball, Oh Yah- Basket-Ball...






Rook and Jackson, friends since kindergarten
Last week, Rook woke up Urrly (early) for basketball day camp at Wylie East high school.  He met some boys that will be at his new school next year, so that is a plus.  He learned some new skills, plus, plus, and my house was a little quiet in the mornings, plus, plus, plus.   Rook learned about "Burpie" push ups and all sorts of "Fun"  but he endured.  Proverbs 21:5 says..."The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."  Seeing Rook play reminded me of Michael Jordan, who was cut from his high school team and later became an NBA legend.  He was diligent and put himself at risk.  I saw a quote by J. English that said, "Our fear of potential comes, not from doubting that God can get us there, but from questioning if God can keep us there." May we obediently be diligent in becoming what God has intended us to be.
