As many of you know, I coach jr. high basketball at Monroe Central. Myself and the other jr. high coach was able to take the jr. high group to a camp in Ft. Wayne. We left Wednesday and returned Saturday morning. I had the joy of watching a group of boys not win one game. Now let me explain that statement. This group of guys are the not the starting group that plays during the school year. This group are the bench player that dont play much during the year. Anyway they went from losing games by 20-30 pts to losing to the best teams at the camp to losing 4-6 pt s to the same teams on the last day of camp. I really enjoy working with kids that improve not only basketball skills but life skills. That was the upside of week.
Then, while having breakfast with the boys on Saturday morning, as we are about to return home came the news. Sitting in the restaurant text messages started coming in about a horrible accident that happened north of Farmland. The accident involved two young men that I have coached a few years ago. Things looked very bleak for these guys. A prayer vigil was held at FFC on Saturday night. I heard that as the prayers were being lifted up to God the boys conditions started to improve. Continue to pray for these fellows and families. The downs and ups. God is great.
