We are the Champions!

I am so proud to be a Jayhawk. I am proud of this everyday but today it was even sweeter. I watched the game last night at the Fieldhouse and it felt like it was a live game even though it was a little like chanting D-fence and screaming at a movie...haha. We were in San Antonio in spirit. After the game we went to Mass Street along with 40,000 other happy Jayhawks. It was an incredible night.

Then we didn't have school today because of winning the game. It was a Sabbath for me. In the book Velvet Elvis, Rob Bell explains it this way, "Sabbath is the day that I remind myself that I did not make the world and that it will continue to exist without my efforts.
Sabbath is the day when my work is done, even if it is not.
Sabbath is the day when my job is to enjoy. Period.
Sabbath is the day when I am fully available to myself and to those I love most.
Sabbath is the day when I remember that when God made the world, he saw that it was good.
Sabbath is the day when I produce nothing.
Sabbath is the day when I remind myself that I am not a machine.
Sabbath is the day when at the end I say 'I didn't do anything today' and don't add 'and I feel so guilty'."

God gave the Sabbath to his people as a gift of rest and to help them remember that he gives them life and that he desires for them to enjoy it and live it to the full.

God gave me a Sabbath today by way of Chancellor Hemmingway. It was wonderful. I slept in. I went to the Welcome home party for the players. I spent quality time with my roommate. I talked to my mom and dad and a friend on the phone. I looked at pictures. I wrote a blog. I celebrated.

It doesn't get much better than Jayhawk basketball and a Sabbath.
