still waiting for house news...

...and waiting...and waiting...

Fortunately, I've got lots of other things going on to keep me from dwelling too hard on my wait.

The coolest and scariest thing is that this summer I'm coaching our church's brand-new junior high girls basketball team. We'll be playing in a summer league starting in July.

Please pray that we don't get slaughtered. I know what you're thinking: "Gee, Spools, you're so optimistic!" But truly--we have a lot of work to do and a short time to do it, especially considering our practice this week (yes, we only get one per week) was canceled due to a severe weather warning. And I'm worried that my inexperience as a coach will also hurt the girls.

But I am also excited and look forward to our next practice. I have a brimming bucketful of ideas. I had nearly forgotten how much I love basketball, and can't believe I let almost a decade pass without playing hardly at all. It's a crazy cool game that rewards hard work and passion. And you get to run into people. How can you top that?
