We score; just not enough!



The picture on the blog tonight is Grace proudly wearing an outfit I took to her from a yard sale in Hobart. She’s easy to please! That's their dog, Rigel, behind her.



The boys are still fighting to stay here, but they haven’t managed a win, yet. They are the coolest guys, though. They are playing hard and they’re still holding their heads high. We’ve got another game tonight at 8. If they don’t win it, we’re going home, so we’ll see what happens. We’ve never lost this much, so we’re all learning a new feeling.



There’s a kid here in a wheel chair who was diagnosed with some terrible disease in January. He has had to have both his legs and one of his arms amputated since then. He dresses in full uniform and hangs with his team. He’s a great example to everyone else; it sure helps us to keep our priorities right and to thank God for the blessings that count. Life counts; friends count; there are lots of things ahead of winning on the list of priorities!



Our guys are doing their best. If they get beat, they’ll just be proud that they qualified to come and compete. If they win, they’ll keep playing as far as they can. We’re proud of them and thank God for their health, determination and stamina.
