What’s going on in the NBA?

 I don’t usually watch too much NBA basketball, but I try to keep up a little bit. All star weekend just passed. It was mediocre. However, the trades that have been going on in the league are insane. Some of these trades have really caught me off guard. 

Kevin Durant was recently traded to the Suns after being on the Nets for a few years. The Suns traded some pretty solid young guys for a superstar. Some people like the trade, some don’t. I don’t know how to feel about it. I feel like a superstar like Kevin Durant and a rising superstar in Devin Booker who was already on Suns, can potentially work very well. I can see them really competing and making it to the finals this year. 

Kyrie Irving, a very controversial player right now, but however still a superstar, was also traded. He is now on the Dallas Mavericks with his now co-superstar, Luka Doncic. So far they haven’t played many games together. Luka was hurt when Kyrie had his first game there. A lot of people I know think that their chemistry will be okay and the Mavericks will make it work. I don’t think so. I think both of those guys are too ball dominant and it will be hard to share. However, they both had a chance to shoot a game winning shot versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, and they both were passing back and forth to each other. Maybe this shows how much trust they have in each other to be the go-to guy.

 As this year winds down I realize how beneficial these blogs were. I am very grateful for Mrs. Williams and her class. These blogs actually did great things for me. The blogs allowed me to express my thoughts and get things off my chest. Though the assignments may have been overwhelming for me at times, looking back on it I feel like that was something that can help me be better for my future. I was told that writing is one of the best ways to relieve stress and get things off of your mind. As I reflect back on all the blogs I have done this year, I realize that some of them were really just a message to self. Of course they were able to potentially help other people, but they helped me tremendously as well.  This past school year I was able to tap in to a different creative side of me. I learned new strategies to writing, and I received plenty of motivation and reason for writing. The blogs were only a portion of the writing I have done this year.  Everything in life happens for a re

Church Community In Little Rock

Growing up in Little Rock, going to church was an important asset of my upbringing. The churches and church family in Little Rock, Arkansas are strong and something that can only continue to get better. Pastor Dwight D. Townsend gives us some insight to what churches are like in Little Rock.  Dwight D. Townsend is the senior pastor at Longley Baptist Church in Little Rock, where he has been for 18 years.  Pastor Townsend says that, “The church community in Little Rock is traditionally  strong. For the most part, people regularly attend worship services, financially support and represent their churches proudly in the community. There are also a diversity of gifts in the body.” He also works with other churches. “We collaborate on many different things from ministry events to community service projects and we advocate for the voiceless.”  In those collaborations are things like revivals. I remember always going to those when I was a little kid. To me it was like extra church, but it was
