S.T.A.T.

This should be your nickname.
S.T.A.T.
To find out what that means....please continue reading. Often imitated but never duplicated. Stand up straight, its time to illuminate. :)

I played basketball against a very little dude named Tripper once.
He was 4 foot 6.
It was a short-lived victory parade.
He was short on all his jumpers.
He was just short of really bad.
He was running and I saw his boxers. His shorts were too short.
He wore a shirt that said "short live the king". It had a short picture of a short, little, minute, King Kong climbing a short building.
He had a short fall.
He was ok.
He was only a little hurt.
His mom called as soon as we finished and said to come home.
He said he'd be along shortly.
It was a short trip.
Good guys like Tripper are in short supply. He started the Little guy awards last year. He won all the awards for being just short in the short little Guy awards race.
It was a 10 yard race.
They measured him by the size of the square on the backboard. He was 2 and a half squares. Call the short police! somebody stole his height. He ducks under dogs. He ran under my legs. And I was sitting Indian style. He told me he shops at Weasels Wittle Walking clothes for wittle guys. They have little bit of everything.


I know a guy named Larry. Larry is tall.
The ladder company he worked for measured their ladders by the length of his hands.
At college he reached heights they only thought possible by mountain climbers. The tape measure company formerly known as Stanley will be changing their name to Larry. Stanley cant "stand up" to the competition.
He was turned away from the big and tall store cuz he was too "big and tall". The flu cant catch Larry cuz hes so tall. The flu "flew" away.
He has to reach down to dunk. To get across the court he doesnt run, he takes half a step.
He dusts ceilings with his head when he walks.
He drinks from two story gutters.
Larry likes to sit on soda machines when he gets tired.
When Larry met Shaq, Shaq had to look way up at him. He gave Shaq a hug. Shaq got his head stuck in Larry's belly button.
Im glad he is on my team. My defense is bad on tall buildings.
His cousin is known worldwide as Iron Giant.
Larry Had a battle with Yoda. Yoda tried the force to win. Hmm, work, it did not.
He has to duck under the St Louis gateway arch.
It rains about 74 seconds earlier for Larry than for you. And your tree.
Larry was last seen on a search for Alice's bottle of magic potion.

So, S.T.A.T. is Standing Tall And Talented. So, basically no matter size, stature, shade of melanin, facial hair or not, short hair or not, pointy nose or not, God can still use you.
Don't measure who you are by your magazine. But by Gods little book called the Bible. You'll find out what matters.

Ok. Now I'm out like a penguin in Tampa watching Nick Lachey sing opera songs with Madonna. I will go the way of the buffalo.
Because......

It's what I do,
