Sunday Evening Hoops

Growing up I remember every single Sunday, except for those winter months, was spent playing basketball after church. Well, just about all of them. You know of course you weren't allowed out the house those days when you had to go back to evening service for a program, like Easter or something. Anyway, since injuries have put me down, I try to watch as much as possible. So I went to our game this afternoon. I gotta admit the team was balling today, but they still have a way to go. The played hard againist Miss. St, but they got UAB, and FSU coming up soon. Those have the potential to be ugly if they are not on top of thier games. Anyway, I sat with Keke and Kenya during the game. I know that is a sight a lot of people haven't seen in a minute. It's crazy, when I first got to South I thought she had a little extra attitude. She always looked like she was in a bad mood, but it wasn't long before Keke and I crossed paths. We became good friends over the past year. Her daughter Kenya is cool, and it was real funny when President Moulton's wife thought Kenya was my child. So while we are in the President's luxury box, we acted like father and daughter the entire night. It was so funny that Keke left and see how I could handle a child on my own. I did a good job. Well...at least thats what all the people around me said. Even our SGA president Clay says "I didn't know you had a kid...?" And just give him that look like, I don't dummy. I guess we are good friends if you feel like you can leave your child with me. Especially when you know I fight kids. No...For real I do. You're child is acting up and you leave them with me, there is a good chance I'll put them in a head lock. Anyway, where was I? Oh basketball. Best game ever. It has done a lot for my life. But not as much as my God who gave me the talent and knowledge to play the game. So when I say I love basketball, it's another way I'm saying I love the Lord. When I say basketball has done a lot for me, I'm giving God his praise. So to me, basketball is more than a game, it was a bride to relationship with my creator.
