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.

I LOVE THIS GAME


The N.B.A. is up and running. I can’t really explain it to you but I love the game of basketball. It’s fun. It’s fast. It good for you to get out and run up and down the court. It requires teamwork to be successful. And there are always those who do NOT want you to be successful. In fact, there are some who actually want you to lose. Yet, when you win, even though it’s just a game, there is a certain satisfaction that you have knowing that you’ve done your best and have overcome all obstacles. All of the above statements could be true as it relates to serving in the Church. It’s fun. It’s fast. It’s good for us to be involved. It takes teamwork to be successful and there are always those who are against you. Yet, when you overcome, you have this feeling of joy knowing that you stood up against those who oppose the work of the Lord. Having said all that… jump on in. Get involved. Join your church. Serve the body of Christ. Become a part of the TEAM. We’ve got a great Head Coach and he’ll ultimately help us win. It won’t be boring. And it’s always better to be IN THE GAME than watching from the sidelines. And all God’s people said???? AMEN
