GIRLS RULE!

Written by admin on . Posted in basketball, Kerri, sports. 1 Comment on GIRLS RULE!

I’ve been coaching my little 10 year old girl’s basketball team, and last night we had our first game. It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun. We did win the game 38 to 3, but the fun part was seeing girls who had never ever played the game run up and down the court and play with confidence. You can see on their faces this desire to do their best, even though there are five opposing players trying to stop them.

I told the girls that if you practice hard, then the games are fun. And if you don’t practice hard, then the games are difficult. Such is true in all of life. To work and practice hard is the real battle of life.

I’m praying for each of you today that your family, company, or your 10 year old girl’s basketball team will give it their all and enjoy the fruits and benefits of their labor.

NOTE: On January 21, our team will be playing during half time of the Cal State Northridge Men’s basketball game at 2:00 pm at the Matadome.

USC wins????????????????????????????

I have a lot to talk about, but I’ll save that for later in the week.

Today, I must at least give my regards to USC, who won the Rose Bowl game against Michigan. I guess that means that UCLA is better than Michigan, since the Bruins beat USC just a few weeks ago. (Don’t you just LOVE my logic?)

Congrats to the Trojans!!!

I think I’m going to forget to mention that UCLA and Oklahoma both lost their bowl games, so please don’t remind me, Ok??? I just don’t like to focus on the past… haehehahahaehaheaha

Oaks Christian STATE CHAMPIONS

Written by admin on . Posted in Elders, football, friends, Oaks Christian, sports. 2 Comments on Oaks Christian STATE CHAMPIONS


Oaks Christian won the first State Championship in almost 80 years today with a 27-20 win over Cardinal Newman High School. I’m not sure but I think Oaks Christian has won like 46 games in a row which is the 4th longest streak in the history of California High School football.

They have 11 players who will be playing Division I college football next year.
Their quarterback, Jimmy Clausen, is the number one rated quarterback in the United States and will be attending the University of Notre Dame next year. (Jimmy, you should have gone to UCLA… They have now beaten USC one year in a row :))

One of Oaks Christians BEST players is a young man named Chris Potter who happens to be a member of our church and one of my sons best friends. Chris is a phenomenal athlete and next year he is penciled in to be the starting quarterback for Oaks Christian.

Now Chris Potter’s father, Dana Potter, an Elder in our church, was considered one of the best High School players of all time, here in the San Fernando Valley and he went on to play for the University of Nebraska. Dana has also been a part of my Life Group for many years and I consider him a true pillar in our church. Dana is also one of the principle owners of Pinnacle Estate Properties.

This past year during the Oaks Christian season, Dana has been going over twice a week to lead the team in an extended time of prayer. He has been used by God to help lead these young men to a closer walk with God. Thanks Dana for mentoring these young men. The rewards of learning how to pray will have eternal value for each of these football players.

Chris, congratulations on a fine season and we’ll be anxious to see you play next year, and don’t forget to remind your dad that Oklahoma beat Nebraska this year…again!

Jrue and Justin Holiday

No I didn’t grow two extra heads. 🙂 This a silly picture of Jrue and Justin Holiday. These two young men attend Campbell Hall High School and happen to be two of the best basketball players in the country. To your right is Justin Holiday,a Senior, who just signed a letter of intent to play for the University of Washington. To your left is Jrue Holiday which is the number 2 rated player in the country in the 08 class. If you look for them you’ll see them here at Shepherd on Sunday at one of our morning worship services. Both of these young men are quality guys. They compete at the highest level yet they love the Lord. They traveled with us to Japan on a missionary trip. I was blessed to be able to coach them this summer on a travel team. My son Dallas has transferred to Campbell Hall for his Jr year and the 3 of these young men make quite a team. Please keep these 3 young men in your prayers. They have an opportunity to really be a witness for Christ on and off the Court.
