I AM SO HONORED THAT I WAS ABLE TO LEARN FROM SUCH AN AMAZING AND TALENTED WOMAN, DIANA. HER GIFT HAS HELPED TO BRIGHTEN THE WORLD OF SO MANY CHILDREN THAT WILL COME THOUGH CHRIST CHILD HOUSE DOORS. THIS WAS TRULY A LABOR OF LOVE FOR HER. I HAVE TO THANK JOHN THE DIRECTOR AT CHIRST CHILD HOUSE FOR PUTTING HIS FAITH IN ME AND LETTING ME MAKE THIS HAPPEN. MY HOPE IT THAT THIS BANNER WILL HANG ON THAT WALL FOR MANY, MANY YEARS TO COME.

TIME WITH POPS

It looks like Pops time on this earth is coming to an end. I've known Pops for over thirty years but I got to really know him in the last few years. Coming and staying with him and Mom I've spent time talking with him about when he was younger growing in the south. Pops and I watched the election on television the night that Obama won. He didn't think he would win and went to bed about thirty minutes before the election was won by Obama. The next night he and I talked about it. He was so excited to see a black man become president of the United States.

Pops encouraged me to write my story telling me that it was very improtant to share our stories with others he felt stories can help encourage others. He had an uncle that wrote a book and when he was in his eighties. I head it and just loved it. Pops loved golf and played untill he couldn't anymore because of a shoulder injury.

I visited him the other day in the hosipital and was so sad to see him not able to talk to me. Pray for my Pops. Pray for peace. I am so grateful that I got to know him these few years. I know he was so inspirational in my wanting to go for my dreams. He will be deeply missed. I love Pops.

WE'RE PLAYING BASKETBALL

Go Spartians! Basketball I love the game. Kirk and I went down to Cobo Hall today to the NCAA Hoop Dream Exhibit. It was so cool being there and watching all the children enjoy the cool exhibits they had for them to enjoy. There was one exhibit that was very moving for me. The exhibit of the Doctor that invented baskeball. We took a picture of his grandson and he talked with us. Kirk thought it was truly worth going to speak with him. Its good to know about the history of a sport we both love. It all begun from a wooden basket and a ball.
