Day Off!!!!!

Well I took the day off from school today for several reasons: a dear friend of my family from church passed away and I went to his funeral. It was a very pleasant service for a great man who was devoted to his family.

I spent the rest of the day relaxing. I am headed to the Razorbacks game tonight vs Mississippi State. It should be a great time.

Everyone needs time to just step back and relax!

I AM BACK!!!!

Ok, so I have been away from the blogging for awhile butI am back and I am going to be consistent. So work has been consuming my life. I still make time for my spiritual walk, family, church, and some me time.

Basketball:
We we are undefeated in conference with our varsity girls. We have been playing well as of late and it is exciting to be in first place. Also, my 8th grade team is undefeated as well. We are blessed with some girls that are very talented, hard workers, and committed to basketball. I will keep you updated on the rest of the season. We have about 6 games left plus regional tournament.

Baseball:
Well I am helping out with Northside baseball this year and I am excited. We have been practicing and I am able to help out when my basketball schedule will let me. I look forward to the baseball season but I am not ready for basketball to be over.

On a personal note, life is all about relationships and how you treat people. I have come to realize this and how important it is with some people I have encountered this year. I have always tried to build relationships with people I encounter whether it be co-workers, students, athletes, parents, or etc.... Its all about relationships and how you treat people.

Final note: The Presidential Primaries are heating up and I am fired up. I love politics. I am a big republican but both races have intrigued me this year. Obama vs Clinton, Huckabee vs McCain, Romney,etc... I am personally rooting for Huckabee!!!

Leave me a comment and let me know you read this! I want to know if anyone cares?????

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!!

I ALWAYS LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME DURING THIS HOLIDAY TO TRULY REFLECT ON WHAT I AM THANKFUL FOR. I AM ALWAYS THANKFUL FOR MY FAMILY AND THE MANY BLESSINGS THE LORD HAS GIVEN ME. THIS YEAR I AM THANKFUL FOR A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE I WORK WITH. THESE OTHER COACHS ARE POSITIVE ROLE MODELS FOR THE STUDENTS AND FOR ME. THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT SUPPORT FOR ME THAT I HAVE DESPERATELY NEEDED.

EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING AND TAKE SOME TIME AND THINK ON WHAT YOU ARE TRULY THANKFUL FOR!!!

It's Been Awhile.....

It's Been Awhile.... since I have lost blogged so I thought I needed to update. My life has been extremely busy and it seems I never have enough time. Time starts slipping away as people get older and I dont like the idea that my time is slipping so early. So I have decided to start making time for the important things: my quiet time with the Lord, time with family and friends, and time for myself. So I am writing or typing this during my "me" time. I am not for sure what I am trying to get across, I think I am just rambling.

Anyway did anyone see Mike Huckabees video of the last presidential debate? Pastor Jeff Crawford from my church blogged about it b/c of his answer when they asked him about creation. He answered that God created it all in the beginning. It was a powerful answer. Check youtube for it if you want to see the video.

School is rolling along and I am just trying to keep my head above water. We have some new personnel at school and it has been an adjustment period for everyone involved. I hope things will start to calm down soon for everyones sake.

Hope everything is going well for all!

Great Email

I received this email and I absolutely love it. I especially like the last line of the email. I hope you enjoy it:

Billy Graham is now 86 years old with Parkinson's disease. In January 2000, leaders in Charlotte, North Carolina, invited their favorite son, Billy Graham, to a luncheon in his honor.

Billy initially hesitated to accept the invitation because he struggles with Parkinson's disease. But the Charlotte leaders said, "We don't expect a major address. Just come and let us honor you." So he agreed.

After wonderful things were said about him, Dr.Graham stepped to the rostrum, looked at the crowd, and said, "I'm reminded today of Albert Einstein, the great physicist who this month has been honored by Time magazine as the Man of the Century. Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of every passenger. When he came to Einstein, Einstein reached in his vest pocket. He couldn't find his ticket, so he reached in his trouser pockets. It wasn't there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn't find it. Then he looked in the seat beside him. He still couldn't find it. The conductor said, "Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are. I'm sure you bought a ticket. Don't worry about it." Einstein nodded appreciatively. The conductor continued down the aisle punching tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car, he turned around and saw the great physicist down on his hands and knees looking under his seat for his ticket. The conductor rushed back and said, "Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don't worry, I know who you are. No problem. You don't need a ticket. I'm sure you bought one." Einstein looked at him and said, "Young man, I too, know who I am. What I don't know is where I'm going.'"

Having said that Billy Graham continued, "See the suit I'm wearing? It's a brand new suit. My wife, my children, and my grandchildren are telling me I've gotten a little slovenly in my old age. I used to be a bit more fastidious. So I went out and bought a new suit for this luncheon and one more occasion. You know what that occasion is? This is the suit in which I'll be buried. But when you hear I'm dead, I don't want you to immediately remember the suit I'm wearing.

I want you to remember this:
I not only know who I am .. I also know where I'm going."

Football!!!!!!!!!

Now I coach for a living, however I dont coach football. But that doesnt mean I dont love football. The season has started for college and high school and the NFL starts this week and I am excited. I love football season. High school is my favorite and I went and watched the Southside/Greenwood game Friday night. It was a great game and I loved the atmosphere. It was a packed house. Then on Saturday, my cousin Jordan and I, went to the Razorback game. I am not a die hard Hogs fan, but I do enjoy watching them. It was a great time.

My favorite team is the Northside Grizzlies and they opened the season with a win versus Pine Bluff. I didnt drive to PB for the game, but they won and I am excited. They play this Friday at home and I will totally be there.

FOOTBALL IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Start to the School Year

School is off to a great start this year. I am really enjoying my classes, the students, and school in general. I struggled my first year enjoying myself because the students were wanting to be active in pe. So far this year students are involved and really participating in pe. This makes the day more enjoyable and makes my life alot easier.

Hope everyone is having a great day!
