I just recently read an article that made me think hardcore about life priorities and all that good stuff.
Now, I’m not a big “sob story” kind of guy, I think they’re kind of lame to be quite honest with you, but man this story was so well-written and just so honest I had to tell people about it.

I can’t lie, I shed a tear reading this article because you could literally feel his pain, yet at the very same time, can’t even begin to imagine the pain he had to endure.
I have much respect for Thomas Robinson, even though I’m not a big rock chalk fan, he is someone I will definitely be keeping tabs of.
It’s people like this that help you forget how corrupt many people in this business, yes I said business… even in the college game, are.
For every Mike Beasley, Renardo Sydney, Kwame Brown, etc., there is a Thomas Robinson who refuses to waste his GOD-given talents and actually take advantage of the gift that’s been given to him. He’s found purpose.
And ultimately, isn’t that what we’re all searching for?
We always say, man if I were in such and such’s position, I would do amazing things.
If I could just dunk the ball, I would be in the NBA and I would show people how to be responsible with their money and how to act like an adult, and give all the glory to God! And so on and so forth.
Child please, you can do that now.
Serve, be a mentor, love on those around you. You don’t need a superstar podium to show how to be a follower of Christ. Start with 1. See how that works out.
Col 3:12 tells us we’re HIS chosen people, holy and dearly loved.
The audience of One is enough
Don’t simply look for how to look good in front of millions, get deeper.
I’m so torn about this Joe Paterno thing
On one hand, PSU did the right thing… for sure
On the other hand, you feel for him.
Show’s how fleeting celebrity is.
JoePa is a legend… this situation, no matter how little or how much he was involved, is that one drop of oil in an otherwise clean glass of water. No matter what, it’s there, and it rises to the top.
I am not a big fan of Harrison barnes, but I hope he comes to the wizards
Work goes by a lot quicker when you have something to do…… hahaha
The cubicle life is not as bad as I imagined.
Crap, got work to do.. see ya
