Purchasing a Closet System

This makes me feel super old.  Spending that kind of money on a customizable closet system for a closet that you built yourself means you are old.

Young people don't do these kinds of things.

Warm-Up Injuries

I've played in a lot of soccer games.  Even gotten injured in some of them.  But I've never gotten injured during warm-ups. 

I saw a player on my team in college get injured goofing around in warm-ups, and today watched as a player injured himself when no one else was around him during warm-ups.  Kind of sad to have to call the trainer over during warm-ups for anything other than taping an ankle or putting on an ace bandage, but the necessity of a trained opinion and some ice wasn't what we wanted for our player.

Then got to watch as 3 more got hurt during the game, 1 of whom blacked out for a couple of seconds.

It wasn't the successful game we were hoping for, but the Chinese buffet made everyone feel a little better.

Personal Challenge

I decided today (almost as a joke) that I wanted to design a soccer drill for the team that would use all 80 of the cones that we had. 

Not a series of drills that had them all set up at the same time, but one drill that needed all of them.

They thought my joke would remain a joke, but while they were warming up and stretching I designed a special drill just for them.

Sometimes it is nice to accomplish my own personal challenges.

Funny Yellow People

Went and watched "Despicable Me" at the cheap theater tonight.  Well worth the price of admission.  Very fun and cute movie.  The little yellow people that work as Gru's minions are something I would like to have around my house someday.

Can any of you make that happen for me?

2 Down

2nd night of Terrace (our new Young Adults Ministry) is over now.  I was encouraged that we had more new people again tonight, as well as noticing that some of the new people from last week came back.

Hope we can keep this momentum going for a long time.

Now time to transition back to coach mode for a couple of days while awaiting pastor mode again on Sunday morning.

I actually should just get different hats to wear, that would be fun.
