BYU Basketball

As you may or may not know . . .
I LOVE BYU BASKETBALL!!
Lucky me for the past 6 years I have worked at every game, the last three of that work being done on the floor just steps away from play. Honestly, nothing better!! I of course was offered the same position on the Northwest corner of the floor this year, but being that I am getting larger everyday I sadly declined knowing that by the end of the season I will not want to stand for 4+ hours at a time. Honestly, this was one of the hardest decisions of my life! LOL. May sound ridiculous, but so true. Luckily I get to work in the office and watch the games on TV as I hear the muffled crowd through the walls. I'm actually working right now, so I suppose there are other perks to being in the office, but still nothing like watching from 5 feet away.



For those of you who do not know me very well, I am an avid sports fan in general. Basketball however, takes the cake. Nothing else like it. Super intense, super loud, lots of skill, even more strategy, and ooh so much fun!! Tonight is my first glimpse of the team this year and I'm confident in saying I think we are going to dominate. Watching is getting me so excited I can hardly keep it in -- hence my blogging about it.



Needless to say, I'm excited! And now I am even more excited about next year and being in stands as a fan with my husband and baby boy. Don't get me wrong, I have truly enjoyed working for the event staff, hence my being apart of the staff for 6 years. But nothing beats standing in the crowd with friends and family and screaming your lungs out. Yes I am one of those fans who gets ridiculously into the game and makes many comments to players, coaches, and refs under my breath. But being that I actually know a thing or two about basketball, I feel justified in verbally saying when players are making dumb moves and coaches are calling dumb plays and the refs are just usually ridiculous and blind. I must admit that I am rather hypocritical at times because the large majority of the time other peoples comments drive me crazy. Yes, I think it is awesome that they are into the game and I'm glad they are there cheering, but when they know nothing about the sport their comments are usual absurd and I wish they would just stick to cheering.



Anyway, halftime is over now so I must be getting back. Just thought I'd blog since I had a moment and I haven't blogged in a while. I know I have many other more exciting thing that I could have blogged about tonight, but I am just so pumped and can hardly wait for the rest of the season. YAY for basketball!
p.s. since the season just begun there are no current photos online so these are kind of old, o-well.

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

By
  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
