Ring A Ding Dial Tone- Real Grace Reflection #6
The fact that I am reflecting on Lutheran Outdoors Ministry of Texas' 2015 theme, REAL GRACE, is made possible, at least in part, by a misplaced phone call.
Prior to my freshman year of college, I had never heard of LOMT or one of its camps, Camp Lone Star. However, I had attended another youth camp located fairly close to Camp Lone Star in LaGrange, Texas. With the summer of 1988 approaching, an attempt to contact the camp I attended as a teenager (about possible summer employment) inadvertently led to a phone discussion with Craig Oldenburg at Camp Lone Star. Oldenburg was putting together his summer staff, and after our conversation, he decided I would be a good fit.
In reflecting on REAL GRACE and LOMT, I can't help but be amazed by the way my life has been positively influenced (with blessings, challenges and more) ultimately as the result of a wrong phone number.
RING A DING, DIAL TONE
Ring a ding, dial tone
Call gone astray
Voice unexpected
Has something to say
A misunderstanding?
Handwriting misread?
A new speakers enters
The ears on my head
Perhaps, I misdialed
Hit a one or a two
When three was what I should have done
Or maybe my call, as it hurtled through space,
Was thrown off its course by the sun.
Though fingers were off
By a digit or two
It turns out they did what they needed to do
My bearing was east, that phone sent me west
It seemed misdirection, but spawned a great quest.

Team Effort by Spartans results in Win Over Wildcats
While Wheatley was shutting down Scarborough's top scorer Hunter Janacek, Janacek's teammates took care of beating Wheatley at The Pavilion Saturday afternoon, 68-61. While I didn't see a box score, I'd be surprised if Janacek was in double figures. However, Jonathan Garcia-Loza and Johnathan Crew figured out a way to get the ball in the paint and into the basket numerous times to pick up the slack.
I heard from a source that Crew had 24 points, but I couldn't confirm that number. Either way, he and Garcia-Loza had numerous putbacks to lead the Spartans. I JUST RECEIVED CONFIRMATION FROM Martin Wall THAT CREW HAD 21 points. (Posted Saturday night)
The win puts the Spartans at 2-0 in district play. They are now 17-4 over-all.
NOTE: (Sunday afternoon) Here are a few more thoughts on the win. I mentioned previously that Wheatley shut down Janacek as a scorer, but I didn't go into how they did that. Now, I will.
Wheatley played a full court press for most if not all of the game. Because of this tactic, getting the ball to the front court was Janacek's responsibility a large majority of the time. He was instrumental in the Spartans beating the Wheatley press. In fact, many times Scarborough would beat the press in such a manner that they scored before Janacek was fully in the front court and able to participate in the offense.
Janacek didn't score much, but his ball control was key to everybody else on the team being able to score. In the games that I had attended previously this season, getting the basketball up the court wasn't as big of a challenge for the Spartans, so Janacek's ability to fulfill this role wasn't as prominently displayed. It was impressive to see those skills on display contributing to a big win on Saturday.

Keep an Eye on Jorge Martinez when he is near the Three Point Line
If you go to the Scarborough Spartans game Saturday at The Pavilion against Wheatley, don't be surprised if senior guard Jorge Martinez (#2) hits a few crucial three pointers at some point during the contest. Martinez, is shooting 50% from behind the arc in 20 games so far this season, netting an average of 2.2 per game. What's more, in the games that I have seen, he consistently seems to find the mark when the Spartans need it most.
Martinez's three-point percentage is markedly improved from last season when he only made 35% (12 for 34). Over-all, he is adding almost 10 points a game to the Spartans' offense, largely on the strength of his improved long-range shooting.

This Spartan is Averaging a Double-Double
The team statistics for the Scarborough Spartans have been completely updated at Max Preps. Among the eye-catching numbers for the 16-4 team: Senior post man Jonathan Garcia-Loza is averaging a double-double with 12.6 points and 10.1 rebounds.
Garcia-Loza (#15) was a contributor last season as a junior with an average of about seven points and eight rebounds per contest. However, as the numbers attest, he is doing more this season and helping lead the Spartans to success.

How Much Better are the Spartans this Year?
Having seen the Scarborough Spartans play four times this season, I have no doubt that they are a better team than last year's edition. Their defense is so stifling that I get tired watching them play. That defense is the key factor behind their 16-4 record heading into District 22-4A play.
Their offense has more weapons available compared to a year ago. Junior Hunter Janacek can take over a game with three-point shots when he is hot. In addition, Senior Jorge Martinez seems more consistent as a point guard and an outside shooter than he did last season.
Further, Senior Jonathan Garcia-Loza has added substantial strength and offensive ability to his game compared to the 2013-14 season. Finally, Freshman Quinton Hudson gives the team the ability to drive to the basket, which opens up other opportunities.
The team also has some solid supporting pieces. They fill in nicely, especially on the defensive end, when the need arises.
The Spartans get a big test this Saturday afternoon when they face Wheatley at 4 pm at The Pavilion. The Spartans have proven they are better this season. Saturday's game will give some insight into how MUCH better they are.

Smiles at McDonald's in Japan are Free- Real Grace Reflection #5
You will find below the result of my fifth reflection on Lutheran Outdoors Ministry of Texas' 2015 theme, REAL GRACE. REAL GRACE is based on Ephesians 2:8-10, a passage which, among other things, assures us that we are created to do good works in Christ.
I take this to mean that part of the result of God's grace is that we are somehow given the means to carry out what he calls us to do. The poem below is inspired by a unique event that happened to me when I lived/worked in Japan that I believe was a small part of my preparation to serve in that country.
I taught ESL for a congregation in Japan for two years. They used their ESL school as a means of outreach to the community. It was important for me to be able to speak Japanese to carry out my role effectively. To this end, I received about six months of intensive language study before I was assigned to my post. My teachers and classmates in Tokyo were great, but some of the best language training I got came when I left the classroom and tried speaking on the streets. My favorite example of this experience is the launch point for the poem below, SMILES AT MCDONALD's IN JAPAN ARE FREE.
A few months into my language training, I visited a local McDonald's. I couldn't read anything else on the menu, but even with my rudimentary reading skills, I could tell that (in Japanese) "Smiles" were listed as a free item. It took me a few minutes to muster up the courage to add "One Smile" to my order, but getting that smile from the employee who took my order was one of my first Japanese language successes. It gave me a confidence boost that lasted a few weeks at least.
I never would have thought that free smiles at McDonald's would have been a grace-filled blessing. Yet, on that day in Tokyo, they were.
SMILES AT MCDONALD's IN JAPAN ARE FREE
A gathering of good friends
Smiling memories and Joyful mouths
Being filled with delicious food
THAT is a Happy Meal!
Smiles at McDonald's in Japan are free
I think that I'd like one
I've never heard of this before
I'll try it. It sounds fun
Smiles at McDonald's in Japan are free
Come rain, or sleet or snow
Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away
I will take mine to go
Secret sauce gives a stomach ease
Georgian cows will not be pleased
McRib is back again you say?
Grab a red pen, highlight the day
Too many cars in the drive thru line?
Add another lane
We'll squeeze through fine
One hungry beastie, I be
How many arches do you see?
Two to the left, three more to the right
Most of them stay gold all night
Smiles at McDonald's in Japan are free
Please, I'd like PI of those
I cannot help but smile back
Then 'round and round it grows
Smiles at McDonald's in Japan are free
Today, I'm craving three
In the name of the fries, and the Coke and the Big Mac
Scrumptious trinity
Sunday afternoon at McDonald's
I hope we beat the Baptists there
To super size or not on His day?
Tell me, do I dare?
Sunday afternoon at McDonald's
A post-liturgical treat
Breaking the bread of a sesame seed bun
There's nothing else so sweet
WOULD you like fries with that?
Would YOU like fries with that?
Would you LIKE fries with that?
Would you like FRIES with that?
Would you like fries WITH that?
Would you like fries with THAT?
Would you like a SMILE with that?
If it's free, of course,
All...day... long
Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest
Be our guest, please be our rest.
Amen

Spartans Down Milby
A dustup with about four minutes left in the game didn't stop Scarborough from picking up another victory. This time the Spartans dropped Milby, 70-42. The Spartans led by at least 20 with 4:08 remaining, when a Milby player was ejected for a flagrant foul. As best I could tell, the player slapped Hunter Janacek on the back of the head while the teams were running up the court.
Milby's bench was cleared from the gym for the remainder of the game and Scarborough played their five non-starters for four minutes until the game's conclusion.
Next up for the Spartans (16-4) is an exhibition game against a travel team from Australia. That friendly is scheduled to take place at 6 pm on Wednesday, January 7 in the Scarborough gym.
