i wasn't good enough

this is sort of a poem..but...i dont know if it can really be called a poem...so we'll just say its a summery of my life

I got cut from my 6th grade basketball team
and i know why...

I wasn't good enough

Basketball was my whole life.
i played for hours after school..
it was who i was
it was who my friends were.
THEN i got cut my junior year of high school.
bullshit
my friends made the team
the kids didn't spend HALF as much time in the gym as i did made the team.
and still...

I wasn't good enough

i went to the gym almost religiously after that
everyday after school...4-6
500 shots a day...sprints...weight room
senior year came...
i made the team.
i rode the bench...never a starter
quietly thankful because i knew...

I wasn't good enough

College came....
the hardest week of tryouts in my life came
and, of course, a sprained ankle came.
at the end of the week...i read the list of names 8 times
dejected and injured...i limped off the court

i wasn't good enough

2 years later....i transfer to a small division 2 college
i can't make varsity..but i play jv
i finally realize that i hate basketball
and, yet, i'm still playing
i've been cut 5 times in 11 years and i'm only 21
what does this tell me?

I'm still not good enough

Good God!

why does religion cause so much hate?
that simply does not make sense.
jesus never said "hey i'm gonna make a religion,
and i want mankind to split it up into a million
different sects...oh and all the sects are wrong..
except for one, good luck!"

i love God...the message He gives us in its purest form is incredible.
the people who morph that message and tell you what to believe, they
are what is wrong with religion.

ok im gonna step off my soap box now

what i would like to know...

who uses blogs anymore? they are so lame...oh well

i would also like to know when Mad TV got funny
