Saturday, November 14

5:53 p.m. - I finished splitting the wood, and then Mr. Strachan and I loaded it all up and took it to his place.  After coming home, I then got my basketball gear loaded into my car.  I'm going to work some youth games over at the BettPlex tomorrow.  I'm only working four games, but it will be nice to get on the floor.  I'm sure after about two minutes I'll be tired of the stupid comments from spectators and dumb attitudes of players, but it will still be nice to get up and down the floor a little and earn a little extra cash.  And today, I just finished watching Notre Dame play a good game and beat a pretty good Boston College team...for the rest of the night, I'm thinking Hallmark Channel.

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...

Help me have... 

    a pure heart, that I may see;
    a humble heart, that I may hear;
    a heart of love, that I may serve;
    a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit. 

                                                                     Amen
