      God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!
      For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      John 3:16 KJV
      The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus paid our debt on the cross, for our salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus is Lord and believe with our hearts that he was risen from the dead by God, and we must be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and live by His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest!
      Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth!
      Have a blessed day!

    I miss Kobe, someone that I’ve never met, but that’s even more of a testament of this guys energy. It’s crazy how we all realized (even more than we already did) how special he really was and still is, especially now that he’s gone
but certainly not forgotten.

    He had a science to defending! That's dedication to studying the game & your opponents.

    Kobe breaks things down so good when explaining things to anyone n not just winging to talk to look smart cause he was smart from the get-go ...he truly was an amazing thinker and talker... one can only imagine how much film he studied and watched over n over on an opposing player or team. Legend on the court and off.
