I am normally a fan of the University of North Carolina but Duke University is also in my home state,also a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, and just eight miles from UNC,the 2009 NCAA Men's Division 1 basketball champions. The championship stays on Tobacco Road.
Congratulations to Duke's men's basketball team on winning the NCAA Division 1 championship Monday night in Indianapolis. Duke won 61-59 in a game that could have easily gone either way and was close from the tip-off. Duke defeated Indianapolis-based Butler University. As glad as I am that Duke won,it is still heart-wrenching that Butler would lose the championship game in their hometown. This is Duke's fourth championship and likewise for Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Butler has nothing to be ashamed of with a 33-6 season. Butler fought hard for the win in Monday night's game but the Blue Devils (35-5 for the season) prevailed in the game's closing seconds.
Congratulations,Duke University.

Happy Easter
Yesterday was Good Friday,tomorrow is Easter. Let us remember the message of Easter. Jesus gave His life so that we would live. He paid the ultimate price to offer us the free gift of eternal life, which I gladly received many years ago. Though I make mistakes and do things I should not do,I am quick to repent of my sins and ask God's forgiveness and the grace and redemption He offers us through His Son Jesus Christ.
If you have not done so,why not ask Jesus into your heart right now. He gave His life for you and me because He loves us more than we can comprehend and wants eternal life for all who receive Him as Savior and Lord. Pray this simple prayer :
Lord Jesus.
I am a sinner.
I have sinned against You.
I repent of all my sin.
I know You died for my sin and rose from the dead.
You took the penalty I deserve.
I ask You now to come into my heart and live Your life in me.
I will live for You and serve You all the days of my life.
Thank You,Lord Jesus,for hearing my prayer and coming into my heart.
I receive You as Savior and Lord.
Thank You for saving me.
Amen.
If you prayed this prayer,God has no memory of your past. He has washed you clean.
"Whosoever will call upon the Name of the Lord,shall be saved" (Romans 10:13)
According to the Holy Scriptures,you are a new creature (or creation) in Christ Jesus. Behold all things are become new.(2 Corinthians 5:17).
God bless you now and always.
