I am an active 18 year old, whom God has blessed with the semi-ability to play sports and take part in many physical activities. The best football player in school, the best basket ball player in school, and the all around best athlete in school... is not me, not by a long shot. But I do ok at these things and have found a way to contribute to the teams. Coming into basketball season I happily found that I could jump high enough to grab the rim, run up and down the court quickly, and not get tired out fast doing these things.
However, in last nights game I also found that jumping up and falling back down on the pointy part of your hip bone greatly inhibits such actions. Along with not being able to run and jump very well, the actions of sitting, standing, and laying down hurt to.
But, though it hurts physically on the outside, it feels good spiritually on the inside. Now, not only do I know that God has his ways of heading off any rising pride, but I feel it too. Lord thank you for this thorn in my side, it was, is, and will be necessary in the future.
On a different note, I burned my hand while playing with the little fireball thing, thanks Tyler for the hours of enjoyment and pain that you started. Next time don't show me such an entertaining way of eventually hurting myself!

That pointy part of your hip is called the iliac crest, and ouchie! I like this JP :) I'll be following your posts!
So you are still playing with the fireball? lol, using the proper fuel right?
Hah! I knew that fireball was going to come back to haunt you. Thank goodness Will has forgotten all about it. :D
well I used charcoal igniter fluid cause thats all I had around. Perhaps it burns hotter than the normal lighter fuel. It was fun at night though and I can't wait till I can get some zippo fuel :)
