You can spend your whole life building something from nothing

One storm can come and blow it all away

Build it anyway

You can chase a dream that seems so out of reach

And you know it might not ever come your way

Dream it anyway

God is great,

But sometimes life ain’t good

And when I pray it doesn’t always turn out like I think it should

But I do it anyway, I do it anyway

This world’s gone crazy and it’s hard to believe

That tomorrow will be better than today

Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart, for all the right reasons,

And in a moment they can choose to walk away

Love ‘em anyway

You can pour your soul out singing a song you believe in

That tomorrow they’ll forget you ever sang

Sing it anyway, sing it anyway

I sing, I dream, I love, anyway

"Anyway" by Martina McBride

A Christmas Perspective

Deliver Christ to the World

"The virgin birth is more, much more, than a Christmas story; it is a picture of how close Christ will come to you. The first stop on His itinerary was a womb. Where will God go to touch the world? Look deep within Mary for an answer.

Better still, look deep within yourself. What He did with Mary, He offers to us! He issues a Mary-level invitation to all His children. 'If you'll let me, I'll move in!'...

What is the mystery of the gospel? "Christ in you, the hope of glory' (Col 1:27)...

Christ grew in Mary until He had to come out. Christ will grow in you until the same occurs. He will come out in your speech, in your actions, in your decisions. Every place you live will be a Bethlehem, and every day you live will be a Christmas.
You, like Mary, will deliver Christ into the world."
- Max Lucado (Next Door Savior)

It's snowing!! :)

On Friday night...we played Loyola...and basically we beat ourselves by not doing what we do and by making unforced mistakes. On Saturday we played Deerlodge, and we lost by 1 in overtime! We had a really good 2nd half, and really showed our home crowd "what we do." We just need to fine tune a few little things...and then everyone better watch out, because this Cinderella team is going to the dance!!

Cinderella Story

We had our season opener games this weekend at the Plains Tournament...and I have to say...its the first time the Lady Eagles have won two back to back butt-kickings in a long time!! Friday night we played Troy, and beat them 52-27. And then Saturday night we played Plains and beat them 62 to 23!! Our JV girls team also had a hard earned victory Saturday morning against the Plains JV. It is nice for cinderella team, tied for the last place rank in our district 6B, to come out and win big...especially since the other team we are tied with only scored 8 points in their season opener...

WE LIVE FOR THIS...WE BLEED FOR THIS...WE SWEAT FOR THIS...WHEN IT'S ON IT'S ON...WHEN IT'S ON IT'S ON...WE SOAR TONIGHT...GO EAGLES!!

Just like the ocean waves

You crash on me

Just like a tidal wave

You ruin me

Just like a hurricane

You devastate everything that needs to change

You are the only thing that’s beautiful in me

Beautiful in me

You are the only thing that’s beautiful in me

Beautiful in me

Just like a mountain peak You lift me up

Just like a desert stream

You fill my cup

And like a heart that beats

You are the blood that covers

me

You cover me

And all I can say is thank you, thank you

And all I can say is thank you, Lord thank you

And all I can say is thank you, thank you
