I love several things about this pic... Sanders in it with us, Essie on C's shoulders (that's about to end), and Julia and Basden not too old to hold hands. At least they don't think they're too old!

Great game, great crew
- Basden's coaches telling her last night that they're moving her to the A team (at least for now) ~ that they recognized her hard work and continued effort; her sensitivity to those who aren't getting to play



- That Heavenly Father, I know I don’t have to earn your ability to fill me, You want to do it. I consent to live under your gracious influence and control. I will look for your refreshment to my parched spirit.


 Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles...   1 Chronicles 16:11-12
