A New Low

The out of control, rabid, University of Kentucky Wildcat fan in me was really upset last night. I wanted Big Blue to win so bad, because I knew how important each game, at this point in the season, is. Well, it wasn't gonna happen. The month of March and on into April are gonna be tough going, for us, in the Big Blue Nation.

This morning, I'm feeling much better. I got things back in perspective, and I hold tight to my faith in God that He is in control and He usess everything for His purpose. I haven't looked at today's paper....yet. I did, however read the article in yesterday's paper about Jared Carter, what a beautiful, grounded young man. He is and will be such a powerful force in God's plan. He has his priorities straight.

I remember seeing Jared at church in Lexington. It's hard to miss him at seven foot or more. I remember reading that he had gone to Africa on a mission trip with Ramon Harris. I'm glad that he feels confident that God has been with him and led him to where he is today. He is a wonderful inspiration to everyone around him. Good luck, Jared, you're gonna make such a big difference in this world.

Kentucky Basketball is, it appears, at a new low. We may not make it to the NCAA Tournament. I guess that's not the end of the world after all. I want to pray for this team, the players, the coach. I want God to use them to advance His plan for each of their lives and the lives of those around them. It may not be a National Championship, but when they listen to God's guidance, they will be living the best life for them and for us. I want them to be the people that God created them to be. I hope we'll be seeing them all in their churches and doing the things that God loves His children to do.

In other words, I want God to lift them up, as I want the same for myself and each of you. I've learned that sometimes to be lifted up, we have to be down low. Well, I think we are there, as basketball standards may reflect. God, use Kentucky Basketball, and all those involved in and dedicated to it, to further your kingdom.

I can finally feel Spring weather coming to Scott County. I hope you enjoy a warm and beautiful day. luv, Susan.........Go Cats!!!

ps I also know that all things are possible through Him who strengthens us, and if a National Championship run is part of God's plan, I'm not gonna argue with that!!!
