After that I headed to Jones Middle School for their first basketball game of the season. One of my favorite teens, T, is on the team so Joy and I went to cheer her on. The game was HORRIBLE in terms of basketball. I am pretty sure T was the only one on the court who actually knew how to play basketball. I am not joking when I saw that I have seen better games played by 9 year olds. It was actually extremely frustrating for me to watch. I may not be a basketball star, but I do know how to play...and this was NOT how you play. Nonetheless, I enjoyed watching T play; especially when she made the game winning basket with less than 30 seconds to go in the game. It was great!!!T's little sister is my mom's Prayer Pal and came to the game a little late; after her sister D picked her up from school. She immediately came and sat in my lap and spent the game telling me to stop yelling in her ear. I told her she could move if she wanted, but I was still going to cheer. She stayed. :)
When we got to the game we realized that 2 of the guy teens from the church are on the Jones Boys Basketball Team, so we decided to stay for their game. We had to leave after the 3rd quarter, but Jones was up 50-7 at that point, so I don't think we missed much. :)From the game I headed to Prayer Pals and then out to dinner with another teen, M. We had a really good time together. She has a lot going on in her family and while I was not helpful in the advice department, I was able to listen to her, and I think that helped.
So, now I am at home and ready to go to sleep! I still have a million things to do before tomorrow night, but I think I will get some sleep and worry about that tomorrow. Usually I tend to stay up late to do stuff, but I think I will be more productive tomorrow if I sleep. And, hopefully sleep will help me be a better Christian college football fan. :)
