Josh plays Upward Basketball at FBC Locust Grove (shout out to Pastor Craig, Adam Merrick, and Upward Staff)!  Max Greenwood is his coach, and I am his assistant--so we have the Hampton First Baptist connection!  Last night Coach Max brought a small tube of toothpaste and had Josh squeeze all the toothpaste out.  He did it in 23 seconds.  Then, Coach Max told another boy he had 23 seconds to put all the toothpaste back in.  You can imagine the sticky and unsuccessful mess trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.  Coach Max drove home the fact that when we say ugly or disrespectful things you might be sorry, but you can't get those words back.

A great lesson for 3rd-4th grade boys and for EVERYONE!

Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification..."
