It's Not Easy


It's not easy being the youngest sibling. You spend hours watching big bro and sis play sports. You get to know all the gyms and concession stands. You spend a ton of time traveling to games, and sitting in bleachers. But you get a wealth of information about the game.
Well, Isaiah has seen his share of athletic events, as Hannah and Josh participated. In doing so, he has a great understanding of the game of basketball. I coach his 4th grade basketball team, and it is a blast. Isaiah loves hoops and continues to improve. I can't help but to compare him with Josh when he was his age.
Today, after an early elder board meeting at 6:00 AM, I headed over to Isaiah's game and he lit up the nets. Wow it was fun to watch him put it all together. You know he has had plenty of time to develop his skills.
I love this moment during the game where it appears everyone is having a spontaneous moment of worship.

Go get em buddy, it is a blast watching you hoop it up. I can't wait for the Friday night games at Fairfield down the road. It is amazing what a kid can learn after all these years with 1000 packs of skittles, 500 hot dogs and 650 popcorn's.
