OK Kelsey's beating me on this so welcome back, its been too long.

Life has been hectic but worth it.  Classes are finally starting to relax on the deadlines, and i can focus on basketball and other matters i think i've neglected a little during the week.  Homecoming was a rave.  Kendall is in the hospital for her ankle.  Hmm... what else important has happend in the last week.  Oh, basketball practice after school til 6--every school day and Sat. mornings, wow i must want this bad.  And i can't go hunting during Thanksgiving break, which is severely dissapointing, especially to my dad i think.  I am playing in the Burger King Shootout at Lee I think that weekend, and nevertheless i have practices.  Things i've been slacking on:  Jesus, homework, studying, disc golf, Kelsey, and keeping in touch with Jake Cole.  I am really dissapointed that i havent seen him in weeks, its just weird.  He was a great person to confide in and more importantly hang with, but he's out in Golden and hasnt come to MYF the last 2 weeks or so.  So i dunno.  He told me to get back to him on the details for a Wed. morning meeting with those guys (i gave him a call last weekend.)  I pray things are going well for him, but i have some feeling that this adjustment is hard, and i worry a little that being so far away from the church on a daily basis will hurt him a little, but if anyone can pull away from that diversity, with God's help, its Jake.

I want to know how all of yall are doing, sorry if i havent been keeping up very well.  Let me know.  Hey and could yall pray for my Quiet times and relationships and schoolworks por favor, it would be a blessing. 

Go out and buy "mmhmm" by relient K, i am going tomorrow after practice to go get it, thanks to MYF and their best buy gift cards.

God bless everyone, yall rock you dont even know.

new update finally,

Things have been going good and bad...school is a pain of dealines and stress, but its not unbearable.  Things have been going really well, but the last couple days haven't been too great...with Friday as an exception.   For the most part, i cant find my Bible, which is really important to me and has 4 some odd years of notes marked in it.  I couldnt make up for it, like...everything jake cole ever taught me is in that book.  So...pray that i find it.

Wesley is sick.  Pray for him.                                                  

After school practice starts on Wed. and will be a pain until Nov. 9 when we get to play people...which really excites me.

Anyways, i was listening to it today, and i think before every game i'm going to listen to "Supernatural" by DC Talk, because...it rocks, and it fires me up. 

That comment came out of nowhere.  lol anyways...i'm out

Oh and PS:  LEE a whole lot - JT a little

God bless,

-Kevin

PSS:  when i find my Bible i'll post more scripture.

mmmhmmm.   Good job on the comments.

Friday went well...2 test but not as bad as i expected.  Then Kelsey's volleyball game, and both JV and V lost, which bites, but they'll get it back.  After that Kelsey and I went to the football game, then ice cream....yeah that went well. Lol. 

Today i got up and had lunch with Kelsey, then picked up Roger Sims for our Fall League game vs. JT, we won by around 15 points, so it went well.  Now i am at Collin's, so i gotta go

God bless

Isaiah 9:7 and Proverbs 15:30

hey guys,

Today was pretty good, basketball was hard, and i promise its 65 degrees  in the K-gym.  Yeah last weekend was great.  Friday out with the guys, then Saturday out with the guys, then Kelsey and i went out to dinner and "Friday Night Lights" (really good) then we went back to her house and watched Braveheart (even more good).  Tonight was FCA which Wes did a great job at.  So...yeah school is nuts and wont let up, but God is sweet and life is good and going really well.  If you trust in the lord everything will follow.

Hey check out Isaiah 7:9 its really good.  Its about if you dont stand for christ you cant stand at all.

I'm out God Bless everyone,

-Kevin
