What a game last night!

Well its late and I still need to do some praying for I hit the sack. I hope you got to enjoy this beautiful day. I visited hospitals this morning and took the afternoon off doing some work around the house trying to get the place ready for Gabe's graduation party.

You probably heard that Hillary Mayne and Velvet Crowe came through their respective surgeries well and both are home now. I also got to visit some with Grace Davis today. Please keep her and Bud in your prayers as well as Sister Arlene Miller.

I haven't heard from my mother yet. She arrived in Haiti Monday sometime. Her plane didn't get into Chicago on time due to the storms there Sunday night. Hopefully, she is doing well. Thanks to everyone who brought gum for her to give out to the children. Please remember her and her medical team in your prayers.

What a game last night! It would have been better if Butler would have won. But what a story. Being from Indiana, it was pretty special. Indiana eats and sleeps b-ball. In every small and even the large cities in Indiana, the heroes are the basketball players. The Indiana schools have great high school coaches who seem to major in teaching good fundamental basketball. Also, Indiana has fourteen of the largest fifteen high school gymnasiums in the country. Indiana kids grow up playing in big, packed gymns. My own high school was about the same size in enrollment as Little Miami and the gym seated over 5,000. The Cincinnati area has great high school football and I think really good baseball as well. But their high school basketball doesn't compare to Indiana basketball...anywhere in the state of Indiana. Kentucky too...is a great college basketball state, but can't compete with Indiana high school basketball. It stands alone. I say all this because Butler had ten Indiana high schoolers on their team including Indiana's Mr. Basketball from 2008, Gordon Heyward.

Well, sorry for the sermon on Indiana basketball. Have a wonderful Wednesday and God help us to glorify you tomorrow in all we do and say!
