Just wanted to let you know we lost a tough game today. The final score was 84-77. We got back into Adana a couple of hours ago. We have tomorrow off, and then it is back to the practice floor on Tuesday.
We will play on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. (11:00 a.m. EST). I will let you know how the game goes. Fenerbahce is now ahead 2-0 on us in the series.
I am headed to bed! I hope everyone has a great week ahead :)!!!!!!!

Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night.— John 19:38-39 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...The power of the Cross is demonstrated in the lives of these two men, neither of whom showed himself fully to be a disciple of Jesus in his ministry. Now in his death, they make sure he is given a proper burial, making themselves unclean for the Passover and proving themselves loyal to the Lord at the worst time for them to do so. The Cross touched them when nothing else could, just as it has touched us!
My Utmost For His Highest:
God holds us accountable for what we refuse to see or are unable to see because of our sin. And “now they are hidden from your eyes” because you have never completely yielded your nature to Him. Oh, the deep, unending sadness for what might have been! God never again opens the doors that have been closed. He opens other doors, but He reminds us that there are doors which we have shut-doors which had no need to be shut. Never be afraid when God brings back your past. Let your memory have its way with you. It is a minister of God bringing its rebuke and sorrow to you. God will turn what might have been into a wonderful lesson of growth for the future.
Our Daily Bread:
Search me, O God, my heart discern;
Try me, my inmost thoughts to learn.
Help me to keep from sin, I pray,
Guarding my mind throughout this day. —Anon.
Self-examination is one test from which no Christian is excused.
