Preseason NBA Basketball time has arrived. I really like watching basketball. Unfortunately, I am a Portland Trail Blazers fan. I also inadvertently joined the Herd - The Bucks. My favorite player is Damien Lillard . My other favorite players are former Blazers too - The Bosnian Beast, Nurkic(Suns), Trendon Watford (Nets), Drew Eubanks(Jazz), CJ McCollum (Pelicans) to name a few. I also have a few least favorite players - Labron James and Jokic. I talk a lot during the games and all of it is inappropriate color commentary.
Deep Thoughts
I visited the church I grew up in last week. It is down to 30 or so members. This church is slowly dying. It makes me sad. This is my parents' community connection. This is the church my grandparents attended, and grandfather helped with the giant cross at the front. It was where my parents and I also were married. I was baptized here. I have hard time comprehending that there will no longer be a First Baptist. They are working at a plan to merge with another denomination and basically selling their church and forming a new church with this denomination. Nothing will erase the history, and I know that people who believed and founded this church would want the building to continue to serve the community. Churches are not a building but people.
