Pool Table

For almost as long as I remember there was a pool table in our basement. At a pretty early age I learned the game. My dad and I spent countless hours trying to improve our games through the years. Even after I moved and came over to visit we would find ourselves going down the basement to play the game we loved! There were times when I took an unusual amount of time either lining a shot up or trying to figure out how to get position for the next shot.

      Thanks for the kind words Lewis! The blog is fairly new and I’m still learning my way around. But when I came across your post, it made a connection in my heart. I always share what God puts in my heart, and many times it comes from the words of others. I am sure God is using these to bless someone, including you and I. Have a great day and God bless! – Amber
