Ok so im gonna start off with this post about the playoffs and the match ups. Well as you all should no by now the Lakers have their first series done as they won 4-1. Of course the Cavaliers won their first series as expected. The bulls are actually in the series which i didn't think would happen at all but now they have to win 2 straight games. The 76ers have had apparently a great matchup with the Magic as they are down one game with a couple very tough losses. The Heat and Hawks are tied up and im hopin Hawks can with this one...of course josh and steve will disagree but oh well...Nuggets right now are killiing the hornets which i would have thought would have been alot closer but oh well...go mello....Unforutnately the Mavericks won their series as i was hoping for them to go out in the first round but oh well better luck next round...The last matchup is the Rockets and Trailblazers. Houston is leading 3-2 which i am glad about seeing as the Lakers seem to have a hard time playing away against the Trailblazers. I think they have a better change against Yao Ming who seems to miss dunks for no apparent reason or against Tracy McGrady who is always injured.......LETS GO LAKERS!!!!
You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me." But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.
Deuteronomy 8:17-18aYou may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me." But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.
In this verse it saying that you need to be humble and remember that God gave you everything you have and not to make it look like your the reason why you have certain things or things good have happened to you. Alot of times as people we take credit for things that we shouldn't and instead we should be giving God the credit.
good post caleb! thats a great verse that every one of us should read very often. i think alot of people have trouble with humility and realizing that God really is in control.
ReplyDeleteHope everything turns out well for your teams in basketball. i was keeping up with it for a while...but then i lost track...oh well...
Yes Caleb the Heat shall beat the Hawks, you shall see. And yes, one of God's most common practices is humbling the conceited.
ReplyDeletehaha ya the girls said they wanted to play then theyre like oh we're rly good but they kinda werent which is ok im sure the boys in the team are beasts
ReplyDeleteidk custer i think Hawks have a chance but we shall see...
ReplyDeletedude ya right... the heat have only lost by like 5 or less points per game. They are going to pull through this series. Dude why are u not happy about the mavs, they aren't a threat to the lakers and the spurs were just horrible so its all good.
ReplyDeletedude tasmania shouldn't be on the tropical island list, u should definalty have like guam or hawaii instead. Or even Bermuda or Christmas island for Corey...:)
ReplyDeleteDUDE CHRISTMAS ISLAND IS AMAZING STEVEL :P And ya it is pretty hard realizing that there is a Huge wonderful God who has the power to blow u away in one swipe :O but also realize that he Loves u more than ull ever know buddy :) PS: ME WANTS TO GO TO HAWWI SOME MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
ReplyDeletewell first of all. let me just put all of your minds at ease. the chicago bulls (even though they just got knocked out) are obviously the best team and deserve to win the NBA title.
ReplyDeleteAlso that verse has a lot to do with the NBA believe it or not. You see guys today running around beating their chests if they make a simple 15 foot jump shot and they are doing everything for their own glory. Then you have some other guys like Chris Paul, Tim Duncan and guys like that who are Christians and playing for God's glory. That doesnt mean that they are weak and afraid...Chris Paul gets a ton of technicals because he doesn't back down if guys are pushing him around. Thats how we should be when we are being tempted. We shouldn't back down but stand up against the temptation using the power of the Lord. lol okay im done now this is a realllly long post!
