Number 12

Bentley started Upward Basketball this past Saturday.

He loves it already!  He's been shootin' some hoops with some neighborhood boys, but he'll be able to learn court ball and the rules of the game with this program.  I also appreciate the spiritual formation element of the Upward Sports program.  He's already been given his first verse to memorize:

"Everyone should be quick to listen.  But they should be slow to speak.  They should be slow to get angry."  James 1:19b (NIrV)

I hate how grainy my pictures are!  It must be the florescent lighting in the gym or something, or maybe my picture taking skills, ha, ha!  That picture is from his practice on Friday night.  That's another thing I like about this program...it doesn't take up every minute of your life!  Bentley has practices on Friday nights and his games are on Saturday mornings during September and October.

He and some buddies on his team enjoyed warming up Saturday morning before his game.

Pre-game strategy with the coach...

I really appreciated how both teams and their coaches as well as the refs had prayer together before the game...

And now, introducing the Sky Team!!!!

Blessings,
