FCA Christmas Party and Meeting for 12-18-2012
Monday night, many of the FCA members led by Tyler and Sydney, put on a great Christmas Party. There was food, singing, food, and Mr. Toby Jenkins from First Baptist Church shared the gospel through his testimony.
Then on Tuesday morning, senior Kayla shared her testimony using Jeremiah 29:11 "for I know the plans I have for you, plans to make you prosper" as her scripture.
Enjoy a little of the music from last night:

In Honor of Sandy Hook Elementary
A teacher at HHS, Jolie Lindley, came up with this idea. Feel free to use it.
Your Name and Grade Level:
In order to honor and remember the 26 victims of Sandy Hook Elementary
School and keep their memory alive, I pledge to perform 26 acts of kindness
this week, one in the name of each victim. May my actions shine light into the
darkness.

All I Want for Christmas
1. I would love to see the good in any given situation. We are either headed towards a storm, in the midst of one, or headed out of one. May God help us to understand that and come to grips with it. (you can really see that in sports as well as life)
2. I would love for local community members to support their local schools in any way, but this is the sports section, so get out and support your teams. (high school athletes deserve your attendance, win or lose)
3. I would love for something to be done with the IHSAA transfer rules, make it clearer for us to understand what is going on. (some allowed, some not, some schools take transfers, some don't allow transfers out)
4. I would love for the IHSAA to help class basketball to succeed rather than hinder it. (Really, you could do so much, if not cut it loose)
5. I would love for my children to grow up healthy, happy and doing something they love with someone they love and who cares about them. (only after playing college athletics, of course)
6. I would love to grow old with my wife, Kristi, and watch our children grow up and have their own families. (mostly I want to witness my children's frustration in rasing children; is there a harder job than being a parent?)
7. I would love for everyone's team to play hard, compete, and bring pride to their communities. (I think we can all agree that is worth the price of any set admission)
8. I would love for some legislation to be passed that you can only post online about anything or anyone if you first put your real name in print for all to see. (come on, let us know who actually thinks and says these things)
9. This one goes with #8, for people to realize that their printed words sting and hurt children and adults (most coaches won't admit it), so have some kind of filter system that occurs before pushing "send". (I try to do it all the time, however, I know I fail sometimes)
10. World Peace! (If I don't ask for this, there's got to be some sort of bad karma, right?)
11. For me to appreciate whatever my child chooses to do or be when it comes to extracurriculars and allow him to live his own life, and not me through him. (my time has passed)
12. For IU men's basketball to win the national championship in 2013! (1987 has been a long time ago!)
I know that I used the pronoun "I" a lot in this list, but hopefully if my list were fulfilled, a lot of other people would benefit from it. As for children....you gotta love them, right? It's a law or something (come on, I am joking).
Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone and have a happy and safe holiday.

Ayden's Army
 |
| (Dad Shane with Ayden) |
You want to see God at work? Read this blog about my friend Shane Billingsley's son Ayden. If you don't want to read the whole thing (shame on you) read the last paragraph! of the entry Faith Can Move a Mountain.
Really, everything is only a mountain, right? You may have to go through it, you may have to go over it, you may go under it, or it could just very well fall.
