Basketball begins...

Jeremiah running out of the tunnel....dark gym...fog machine...laser lights...he loves it!

Jeremiah after his first game was over.
This is Jeremiah's second year playing basketball for Upwards. Upwards is a great sports program with a Christian based philosophy. At every practice, the kids have a time of devotions half way through. The kids memorize a new scripture verse each week. Before every game starts, the kids have a prayer time at center court. At halftime, the entertainment is Christian based. I love the fact that this program encourages kids to have Christlike behavior. Jeremiah loves playing, and Elijah is excited to play next year when he is 5. What a blessing to have this program in our area, and they have these programs throughout the U.S..

So cool that you've found Upwards! It's funny that Greg and I were just talking about it last week, and deciding that we needed to find one in our area!
