AIM - EwHoops41 MSN: [email protected] I follow Jesus Christ radically. I have a beautiful wife Melissa and a wonderful daughter Genesis, who happen to be the most beautiful in the world. I came from the best Juco program in the land...Always an Apache. I played most recently at Lipscomb University, a division one school in Nashville, Tn. I have a passion for Christ, and basketball as well as helping out basketball players develop into the players and people that they both want and can be. I hope to get into coaching to accomplish just this. Be Blessed.

My Interests

God the Father Jesus The Holy Spirit The Bible The Gift of my daughter Genesis Nevaeh Hopkins and my wife Melissa Hernandez Hopkins Service The Law Books Knowledge Basketball "Nothing could be more pitiful than a pitiable creature who does not see to pity himself, and weeps for the death that Dido suffered through love of Aeneas and not for the death he suffers himself through not loving You, O God, Light of my heart, Bread of my soul, Power wedded to my mind and the depths of my thoght. I did not love You and I went away from You in fornication: and all around me in my fornication echoed applauding cries "Well done! Well done!" "For the friendship of this world is fornication against Thee: and the world cries "Well done" so loudly that one is ashamed of unmaliness no to do this." (Saint Augustine of Hippo. Confessions 1)

I'd like to meet:

the J Man...in the flesh. Any coaches who share my passion for basketball and who would bless me with some of the knowledge that they have collected. I would also like to meet anyone who wants to follow the way as set forth by the Lord. Especially anyone in the Nashville are interested in fellowship. Let the Church be reborn.QUOTE If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world and yet lose or forfeit his very self? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. I will you the truth, some who are standing here will not tast death before they see the kingdom of God. (Luke 9:23-27)

Heroes:

Jesus- No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will b hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on it's stand, so that those who come in may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is ot darkness. Therefor, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you. (Luke 11:33-36) Where is your faith?
