We had an amazing dinner buffet, then watched some film. I have been catching up on some emails and stuff and also watching the National Geographic Channel...in ENGLISH :) The TV at our apartment does not work, so it is nice to watch it every once in awhile.
Game #7 tomorrow against Mersin!! We play at 9:00 a.m. EST and 4:00 p.m. Turkish time. I will let you know how we do.
GO BOTAS!!!
I hope you all have a great rest of your weekend :)
16 days......!!!

Verse of the Day:
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
— John 8:12 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...Darkness is more than a symbol; it is a pervasive way of living and viewing the world. Darkness is the place of deception, evil, crime, predators, sin, and death. To follow Jesus means to bring him our heart and let him cast out the darkness that plagues us on the inside so we don't have to be afraid of the darkness on the outside. In this way, Jesus gives us light, but it is a light that does more than fill a dark room with light. This is a light that illumines the heart.
My Utmost For His Highest:
Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation . . .” (John 16:33). This means that anything which is not spiritual leads to my downfall. Jesus went on to say, “. . . but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” I must learn to fight against and overcome the things that come against me, and in that way produce the balance of holiness. Then it becomes a delight to meet opposition.
Holiness is the balance between my nature and the law of God as expressed in Jesus Christ.
Our Daily Bread:
When we move from the inspiration of simply “hearing” about the good being done by others to the perspiration of actually “doing” good works ourselves, the implanted Word of God (1:21) will bloom into a beautiful garden of spiritual fruit.
I’d rather see a Christian
Than to hear one merely talk;
I’d rather see his actions
And behold his daily walk. —Herrell
Life works best when we do.
