THE Orlando Magic called.....

So last Friday, Robert calls me and says.."the Orlando Magic just called me."....he's finally been drafted to the team?!?!....nope, but something better! A youth pastor at another church has contacted them to get some tickets for the game that night because it's "family praise night" (i think that's what it was called:)and Shane and Shane was going to do a mini-concert after the game. He gave the rep Robert's # and told him about the Upward program and God blessing it with 200 kids this season. Anyway, Robert says, "I've bought 8 tickets and we've got to bring 3 other kids with our family....and we've got to leave by 4:00pm"...it's noon!! Robert and the kids round up 3 kids who God has placed on our hearts and who are a part of Upward Basketball this and last season, while I finish up at work! Here's the crew when we arrived......




We had so much fun seeing Dwight Howard....his muscles are HUGE!!....and the other Magic players.I had fun using my zoom camera lens from the "nose bleeds" and getting some cool pics...



A famous ex-player Patrick Euing (i think:) who is now an asst. coach, standing with Dwight Howard.





Here's a pic of the youth pastor that thought of us AND who brought his whole Upward team to the game (he's a youth pastor at another church AND a head coach for an Upward team...keep up with me people:) and of the Shane and Shane concert!




And by the way, the Magic WON!!!
