Aliza's basketball team.

I am not certain that both Aliza and I will make it through the season alive. I don't know what I was thinking to volunteer to coach six 7-year old girls. In the (very repetitive) words of one of the girls on the team..."My bad!" Thank goodness for Nia's dad, who has taken pity on us and ran practice today. I was there only to assist. Whew. Go Prosper.

As the season goes on, you will get the hang of it coach! :) Go Prosper! :)

"Put me in coach!" lol.

you will learn a lot in one season. mostly that you don't want to coach next year. :) j/k you daughter will remember this the rest of her life. What a great mom you are.

You probably weren't thinking when you agreed - don't we all do that for the good of the kids? (ie. I volunteered to help in BOTH the 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms - I don't like reading groups THAT much). I usually win some points with my kids. Luckily you have helper parents.

Oh - I'm a Monica too. Although I don't give myself much credit with being obsessive compulsive with cleanliness. I've given up some on that front - too hard to maintain.

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
