Usually around this time of the year I am brought back to the root of my true love… the one thing that I can lean back on… the time in my life when I think the clearest… my one true source of entertainment… basketball.

I am in love with basketball. But it is a growing love! Shooting around in the gym is not only boning up on my skill or blowing off a little steam, it is also a time when I can sort out life and listen to God’s direction while I do it.

I sometimes shed a tear in the movies Step mom, the Notebook or some other sappy movie, but when I watch Coach Carter I can barely hold myself together! I cried when they won, I cried when they lost, and I cried in the end when the player answers back what his greatest fear is! AH! So good!

This last three days I have watched nine basketball games at the Wesmen Classic. It’s a huge tournament at the University of Winnipeg. I love it because my cousin plays on the Wesmen and this year they took home the Gold!!

HEY I JUST FOUND OUT IT’S A SNOW DAY! No one can get out of their houses we got so much snow! Sweet! I hope that movie snow day is on today!

Anyways HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! Make it a good one… if you can get out of your house!
