picture of a run down shed

As you crest Copening Hill in the Missouri Ozarks, you will flash by a tiny church. If you are behind one of the locals who's pickup truck grinds down into first gear to make it up the hill, the flashing will be more of a saunter. At this pace you will see the small but sturdy house that the pastor lived in and beyond that this lovely shed. Long before there were Air Jordans, hoops dreams were played out against these planks. Though dreams may go on forever, sheds will ultimately tumble down.
