Go Team Go!

Last Thursday night, a rehearsal was held at my niece's school for pep band as we were preparing to play at the girls and boys basketball game on Friday night. Her school has not had a pep band so this would be very exciting. It was composed of kids in both bands from school, a few parents, and a couple teachers. I played my clarinet, my sister played her flute and my niece played her trumpet. That was one of my favorite things I did when I was in high school. Friday night came, and the girls game was up first. We played against City Christian school, and DCS won 37-25. The boys played after the girls, who won also, 44-38. Watching the boys game made me think of someone I know that lives in WI (hi TL). It was a fun night and all the fans there enjoyed the band.
Saturday, I got the opportunity to watch more basketball. My niece is playing in a community basketball league with some girls from DCS, and the coach is one of the parents of the girls. They, however, lost to the other team 38-24. Even though they lost, they played well. The girls on the other team were bigger and a bit older than they were but all in all was still a good game.
Saturday night, I went to church where Keels talked about the Gospel being the greatest treasure. That is so true! Then we had 1.3 where we shared our favorite verses in Scripture to each other. I liked that very much as I like to know where their 'nuggets' are in the Word.
Sunday was low key and I stayed home. This week at work has been not too busy, but I think I am looking forward to Friday when it will be payroll time again. Oh, I also am applying to go on a short-term mission trip this summer with the church and just sent in my application. I am praying that as things are now in His hands, so to speak, that the right people will be chosen for each team.
