America

Camel Wrestling

So I am pretty sure that America misses out on some of the greatest sports ever known. Ye we have football and Lebron James, but do we have camels that wrestle? I mean look at all the people gathered to watch this. People are clapping, yelling, and dancing to great cultural music. So to America I say bring in the camels. Wrestling animals that have humps, we definitely need it.

Just Thinking

It is a wonder that I still somehow can hang with the students. Sunday night I went to a Christian hardcore show. For those of you readers who do not know what hardcore music is check out the link http://www.purevolume.com/theblackregiment (one of the bands at the show). Needless to say this is some crazy stuff. I was entertained not only by shredding guitars, crashing drums, and the vocalist who mainly screams, but entertainment also came as teenagers hardcore danced. It pretty much involves swinging of arms, kicking of legs, banging of head, and all while maintaining a two step rhythm. Here is the the thought - who thought of this? It really ponders me. Don't get me wrong I have definitely grown very fond of this music. It makes up about 30% of my ipod, but I want to meet the first screamer, and I want to ask him, "So were you singing and then someone scared you or you just magically tried it." I also want to meet the first hardcore dancer. "So were you in karate class and the screamer guy showed up and you both were like, millions of people will love this." a thought

Got to love it.

Balled Out!


This is something I could definitely see as fun. I love playing sports. Having a son is going to be a cool thing. Being able to teach someone to play catch and to shoot a basketball. Hopefully, Landen will be interested in sports. If not well then we can always do something like the video above. Sports are fun but throw in an over sized soccer ball and a kid that is willing to take a hit, now that is a sport. I wonder if he thought this was a good idea after the crushing blow from the biggest ball I have ever seen. Just throwing this out there, I really think this had to be a youth group. Being a youth pastor, it just really makes a lot of sense. I have seen students ride on mattresses and water skis behind a truck. I have also seen students take a dive into a mall fountain and a student put on a speedo and stand on the corner waving at people as they pass. This screams youth group. Lord please protect our little guy.
