4-0 Boys Basketball with 20-17 victory

I guess better the commissioner doesnt bother keeping us up to date with standings since probably didnt need to know the team we defeated tonight was also undefeated coming into this game.

I did like that we scored a season high 20 points over some 5 scorers so good distribution.

Still a lot of unforced errors/ throwing the ball usually from rushing with the ball? maybe the age group?

Also pics this sat at CES at 1245p so that is a pain with practice at 2p

Anyway we will have practice Sat at 2p CES // Game Sunday Noon CMS

Thanks

AI Soccer Winter 1st division

Looks like we will finish 2nd to last after starting off so well and top portion of the table for much of the season.

Sure, if you would have said we'd make a run and get 3 wins before the season I would have said that would be great and it was--but losing like we did down the stretch is disappointing.

They way we looked yesterday was deserving of being back in div 2.

I recall before when they had 3 divisions on Monday we had gotten promoted to div 2 from 3 and played well for a season or two and we were disappointed to be relegated back to div 3. I think we thought after playing in div 2 we would easily defeat the div 3 teams and be back in div 2 the following season. And as I recall the opposite happened and we ended up near the bottom of div 3.

So, anyway--last night brings to an end of this winter season and we are off next Monday and looks like Winter II starts that first Monday in Feb.

Letter to Catholic Review

The greek Chi explanation is ridiculous. Are we speaking greek here in the US?

Keep the Christ in Christmas! No need to abbreviate/ speak in tongues while speaking or writing his name. It is Christ not X or Chi. Anything other than that is at the least laziness.

As Christians, saying or writing x-mas sends a message to the anti-Christ crowd that it doesnt matter to us as well.

3-0 with a 17-16 win on Sunday

Wasn't sure if we were going to pull off another win when we were down 4 or 5 depending on the scorer's error with a couple minutes to go. They wanted to run out the clock but different ball game when we get to press the last two minutes.

It could have easily ended with a tie but we sneaked out a 1 pt win.

I asked the commissioner tonight an idea of standings so we'll see if he replies.

Next week we will practice at 2p at CES and game on Sunday is at 5p

Looks like next week we will be without Jacob and Lucas.

See you at practice on Saturday

Saint Expedito

Today in many parts of the world, especially South America, the church celebrates the feast of Saint Expedito. A martyr of the early church, he is known as the patron saint of those seeking rapid answers to prayer. He is often depicted as a Roman soldier who is gazing at a cross while trampling a black crow underfoot. We know little else about his life, but as the story goes, Expedito had heard about Jesus and was thinking of being baptized and becoming a Christian. A crow crossed his path, saying to him tomorrow—implying that he could put off until tomorrow his decision to convert. But Expedito decisively crushed the crow underfoot and embraced Christianity that very day.

What about us? Today, Jesus will call us. Today, the Holy Spirit will prompt us in one way or another. What will we choose to do? Will we hesitate to speak about our faith to a struggling neighbor or co-worker? Will we wait another day before we seek reconciliation with someone we have wronged, or before we go to Confession? Will we put off joining that Bible study or ministry we feel called to, or hit the snooze button and sleep through our prayer time again?

Let’s be like the apostles who went to Jesus as soon as he called them. Let’s be like Saint Expedito, refusing to wait another day to follow Christ. Let’s not miss any opportunity to choose Jesus today, in ordinary or in extraordinary ways. When others see our example, they too will want to run to Jesus; they’ll see that now is the acceptable time . . . now is the day of salvation! (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Heavenly Father, let me not waste one moment in following you! So many times, I hesitate. I don’t want to miss even one chance for your grace to flow into me and through me to your beloved people!

Hebrews 8:6-13; Psalm 85:8,10-14

Ernst Stavro Blofeld is a fictional character from the James Bond universe. He is the archenemy of the British Secret Service agent James Bond and head of the evil terrorist organization SPECTRE.

Blofeld usually appears accompanied by a white Persian cat in the films (but not in the novels). It was also briefly a trademark of the Bond films not to show Blofeld's face, only a closeup of Blofeld stroking his cat. This "trademark" was later broken in the film You Only Live Twice and subsequent films. It was also mimicked in the animated series Inspector Gadget, and spoofed in Austin Powers.

Blofeld appears in six official James Bond movies as well as Never Say Never Again, the 1983 remake of Thunderball, which makes him the most persistent and arguably greatest of James Bond's enemies.
