Black Tennis Pros

I saw this photo on Bossip, and I consider it a "Low Post" for Black Tennis Pro's because it is not my policy nor the nature of this site to portray any of the players in a negative light. However, this is not my doing, this is Serena's doing. Hopefully, seeing this photo plastered across the internet will keep her from appearing in public as such again. And we were all just applauding her stylish ways! Shame on you Serena. I still love you dearly, but shame on you.

And unless Common has taken to wearing "Cherries in the Snow" lip gloss, he really should keep a handkerchief handy.

Pictured before you is the U.S. Davis Cup Team. Yes, their ties suck, BIG TIME! But their high voltage megawatt smiles more than make up for the fashion faux pas. Rather dapper looking bunch if I might say so, not that it will help their tennis, but it won't hurt either.

With the WTA and ATP tour seasons being officially over, we tennis junkies need a fix and the Davis Cup finale is just the ticket.

I am so excited that the U. S. has made it thus far, and that we have such high quality players in Andy Roddick, James Blake and Bob and Mike Bryan, and a coach like Patrick McEnroe who is solidly behind each of the guys 100%. That's half the battle right there.

Crucial to pulling out this win will be two elements. First, will Andy Roddick have shaken off his year-end championships semi-final loss to Federer and secondly, which James Blake will show up? Both players experienced "interesting" seasons this year, nonetheless, I have no doubt about their talent or ability to come out on top this weekend. That said, neither Roddick nor Blake cloak their current mental or physical state very well, we will know immediately what's up with both players. If it's good, it's all good, if it's bad, we're in trouble.

Short of injury, the Bryan brothers are pretty consistent, we can count on them to hold up their end. So, not to worry about the twins and their doubles matches.

Now, if you'll all gather round and join me in prayer....................Amen. USA!........USA!..........USA!

Oh, yes, they do have an opponent, Russia. Igor Adreev, Nikolay Davydenko, Dmitry Tursunov, Mikhail Youzhny and coach Shamil Tarpischev. While certainly not writing off Andreev and Youzhny, if Roddick and Blake are in fine form, Davydenko and Tursunov will present the battle.

Well, there's no tennis right now, so I thought I'd talk about something very important, THANKSGIVING DESSERT!!

Still looking for a few ideas, or bored with the usual? Here are some pie suggestions,

Good Sunday Morning!

Here's a small bit of food for the soul to start your day. These are just a few excerpts from the book "Meditations on the Purpose-Driven Life" by Rick Warren. I hope that everyone has a blessed and rich day today.

Fulfilling
Perhaps you've been trying to find your purpose in life through a career or accomplishments, or a relationship. These things alone, no matter how wonderful and fulfilling, are not your purpose, You were made for far more. You were made to last forever.

Foundation
If a building has no support and foundation it collapses. In the same way, you need support from other people and a foundation to keep you strong in your walk with God. You find that loving support when you join your brothers and sisters in Christ's church.

Fellowship
"If we walk in the light, as God is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:17

When you participate in God's family, by loving and caring for each other, that's called Fellowship. Fellowship is the second purpose of your life.

Why Does It Take So Long to change, get well, and grow up? There are several reasons: We forget what we learn and have to learn it again; We have to unlearn many wrong ideas; We are afraid to honestly face the truth about ourselves; Growth can be painful and scary; It takes time to develop godly habits.
