From the list of can you believe this... A South Florida's women's basketball player wanted to wear a scarf, long pants, and a top with long sleeves during competition. They obviously refused so she quit the team and lost her scholarship...what has this world come to. Read the entire story at this link:

On another note, two reflections from my time alone at Copper Rock this evening:
1) This new generation is something. There was this group of teens sitting at a table all playing with their cell phones, not even interacting. Crazy!
2) People just want to belong to something. There was another group interacting and I could tell that one of the members just wanted to be a part of that group and was very happy being allowed in the group. This is quite amazing about the human race, we are made unique yet really rely on others for so much, we want to be independent yet have this need of community. Then we add Christian community the mix and we open up a whole new realm of living.

Another thing, I witnessed two students harrassing an LD student yesterday. In hindsight, I should have stepped in but I really didn't know what was going on until it was too late. That just tears my heart and I need to talk to the young man tomorrow and let him know that he is worthy and has infinite dignity, value and worth just for who he is and that he was created by God.
