Basketball, Basketball, Basketball

Well now. I must admit, I cant explain, any of these thoughts racin through my brain. It's true.
Actually thats just a song lyric, so dont worry about it.
My high school basketball career is officially over. I know I didnt get to play this year, but it was still dissappointing to have the season end in the fashion that it did. At home, to wwva, who is terrible at basketball. Just a very odd season.
However, I was losing it laughing for a lot of the game, because this guy behind the liberty bench kept saying "Come on wwva!" like the whole game, and his voice was ridiculous. It sounded like Betty from Kung Pow. All of you who have seen Kung Pow are losing it right now, for the rest of you, it sounded like a voice that would be used in an SNL skit for someone ridiculously annoying. Like Will Ferrel with Voice Immodulation Disorder. So this guy just kept saying come on wwva, except when he got real excited he would start saying it faster, and then he would just yell "WWVA! WWVA WWVA" over and over again til it sounded like he was saying WAWA WAWA WAWA. Ridiculous, I could not contain myself.
So now for my spiritual lesson of the day. So first, we played Dayton yesterday, and got blown out. Basically it looked like no one had any fire to play. It was not good. So whenever someone loses I think of something Reece Loeffler told our team freshman year after losing to waitsburg by 40. He said that Christian teams should never lose like that, with no heart, because of who we represent when we play. We dont just represent Liberty, we represent Christ.
When I play basketball, I want the goal to be to give honor to God, so I cannot go out on the court, play halfheartedly, and say 'yeah Im okay with that.' It is against my religion to play without drive. And I am not knocking the guys for playing like that, it just happens sometimes. It's just not something that I associate with, or will ever associate with. I may have already said this verse in previous blogs, but Colossians 3:23-24 talks about doing everything as unto the Lord and not unto men. Yeah, that was in one of my first blogs, I remember now. Oh well.
Another thing I think of with that Dayton game situation and just spiritual gifts in general is the part in Chariots of Fire, when the main guy says something like "I know that God has called me to be a missionary, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel God." It was something to that effect, and I want that kind of thing to be my goal to strive for everyday. I hope that makes sense.
So, I recieved my acceptance to Westmont today, which means that I have been accepted to all 8 colleges that I applied to, but I am really only considering two. Interesting how that worked out. I also sent off my basketball resume to Pacific and George Fox, and I am hoping to talk to the coaches this weekend, but I dont know if that will happen. I will keep you posted. If you dont know, the basketball resume basically just states previous stats, what I am good at, why I want to play, and my current situation. I want to see what the coaches tell me, and I am not sure how much impact their input will have on which school I will attend. I know what I am expecting to happen, but of course, my expectations are definitely not what always happens.
Oh and since bball is over I will be spending more time at the club, working out and doing bball stuff.
