Bethany

                       I lift my eyes to the hills.

            From where does my help come from?

                2 My help comes from the LORD,

                     who made heaven and earth.

             3 He will not let your foot be moved;

                he who keeps you will ot slumber.

                  4 Behold, he who keeps Israel

                  will neither slumber nor sleep.

                   5 The LORD is your keeper;

        the LORD is your shade on your right hand.

            6 The sun shall not strike you by day,

                      nor the moon by night.

         7 The LORD will keep you from all evil;

                       he will keep your life.

                      8 The LORD will keep

             your going out and your coming in

           from this time forth and forevermore.

                                                                    -PSALM 121

It makes me sad to know how other people in other countries are living. Because we have so much compared to them, but yet we just take it all for granted sometimes.  When  i went to this youth retreat a long time ago the speaker was talking about how we say we're poor because we don't have alot of money and don't get whatever we want. But really we are all so rich because of all the things God has given us. This is something that i need to be reminded about it seems like alot.

So Thanksgiving went good i was busy the whole weekend with so many different things, but i had a blast.

Yesterday ~ i had my first basketball game. we played Berean which is the team Katie B. plays on. we won like 50 somethin to 19, i had 9 pts. 8 rebounds and 4 steals, and i played like half the game (maybe a lil longer). so all in all i guess i did ok. we play Spring Valley tomorrow so thats alot more competition so i probably won't do that good.

Tonight at church we're watching the movies so that should be pretty fun i guess. I just don't like watching myself on tv. But if anyone wants to come it starts at 6:00 @ Grace Covenant Church.

                                        SUCCESS

                                To laugh often and much

                                             to win the respect

                                            of intelligent people

                                      and the affection of children;

                                         to earn the appreciation

                                       of honest critics and endure

                                       the betrayal of false friends;

                                             to appreciate beauty,

                                          to find the best in others;

                                               to leave the world

                                             a bit better, whether

                                               by a healthy child,

                                                 a garden patch

                                    or a redeemed social condition;

                                           to know even one life

                                            has breathed easier

                                         because you have lived.

                                       That is to have Succeeded.
