I Wonder again
I am just starting to get in to the book I am reading called season of life. A lot of questions are starting to come up in me as to how this book is going to turn out. The high school football team is currently having their first practice, and I am wondering how they are going to come together as a team or a family just like the coach wants them to.

I wonder
I have recently started a new book called The Season Of Life. It is about a football coach, and his history. There are a lot of things I wonder about this book, but the biggest thing is this question, Is there a point when a coach can be too loving and caring, that his players begin to lose their focus on the game. I think there needs to be a balance. Some coaches say "I'm not your friend, If you were looking for a friend you are in the wrong place"(Hoosiers) and some coaches like in this book love and care for their players like their own children. I am wondering what the best ratio between these two mindsets is, and how much of a difference they will make.

MLK Writing
My book, is essentially about kids from MIT who cheat at Blackjack. Well they don't cheat by their standards, but from the casino's view they definitely are cheating. By counting cards they are not using any devices to help them, or changing the game in any way, and therefor are not cheating. The main character, Kevin Lewis, stands up for the fact that card counting is not cheating. It just gives him and his team an advantage because of how smart they are. People come after him, and even try to kill him, but he continues because he knows he isn't actually cheating, or maybe because he is making hundreds of thousands of dollars from it, that too. God asks us to stand up for ourselves, and for him, every day of our lives. I have not always been very good at this, but I am getting better as I get older and more comfortable with myself, and hope to continue to stand up for what is right.

Hello Uncle Koe
Hey Mr. Koeman, I just finished 'The Stand" by Steven King. Now I am reading one of my favorite books of all time, for the third time. It is called Bringing Down The House. It's about Blackjack, and a team of card counters who went to Vegas on weekends and made millions.
