Blessed with friends

Hello everyone,
Since my last post we have had two games and lost both.  On my birthday we played a EuroChallenge game in Finland.  We were down most of the game and were within four points at the start of the 4th quarter, but they widened the lead to double digits by the end.  After the game we had a team meal and the team gave me a card that they all signed with a Leiden scarf.  It was very thoughtful and it's great to have people who care. 

This past Saturday we played on the road against one of the top teams in the league.  Arvin and Ross, my teammates from last year, play for them now.  It was a hard-fought game but we ended up losing by nine.  After the game I stayed at Ross's place and I got a chance to spend time with Ross and Arvin.  It sure was great to catch up with them.  They really are my bros and I love how our friendship can last, even when we play against each other now.  It really shows how we were created to be connected with others and the lasting impact that has.  I really cherish those guys. 

We play again this Thursday on the road and at home on Saturday.

God bless,
Mike
