Friday Frisbee 4/22

OK...  So I actually got a few pics of Frisbee finally!  :)

~We split up into 2 fields, This one more competitive~

 Burd throwing to Rockey

 Sky throwing to the end-zone

 Mark tossing the Frisbee

~This one less competitive~

 Chad Jr. looking to Big Chad

 Abby Davis calling the play

 Mr. Holmes catching the Frisbee for a score!  (It's the best out of the 2 shots I got of points! ;)

This is actually what most of the pics ended up like...  But I suffered through the pain of electronics to get the ones you see above.  :)

So that's the first in a series of Friday Frisbee events that I hope to capture with our trusty(?) camera.  Mom will probably be taking them from now on, since I can't stay away from Frisbee for too long.  ;)  But I know that'll mean that you'll get some better shots!

Some new things for Frisbee 2011

1.  I'm commissioning mom to take at least 200 pictures of Frisbee this year!  I'm also planning on sharing some of those with you on here.  :)

2.  We have better lights under the cones...  No more dealing with candles!

3.  At our house (after the game) we're planning on playing Presidents each night.  (unless all y'all don't want to ;)

Well that's all I could think of for now, but I hope you guys like them.  :)

Frisbee 2011!

So, there's this thing that happens every Spring in Georgia....  Friday Frisbee is here! :)  !

The Season opener is on the 1st of April, but please don't bring any tricks with you...  ;)

I'll start putting Frisbee tips on here again, and I'll have the dates and scores of the games on the side of this Blog.

ANYONE EXCITED YET?!?!

- Update -

Well (I'm going to start counting how many of my posts start out with "Well..." ;), I've been posting very little, and I've explained why (work, school...).  But what do I do in my spare time?

Well, I just finished reading a book that my Grandparents gave me for Christmas.  :)  I also spend time playing with our two indoor cats...  That's why I always have scratches on my arms...  :D  I watch movies with my family, play games with them, go places with them, and a lot of those good things.  :)  One MBM truck guy asked me how in the world my parents kept a hold on me (he asked in a good way, he wanted to know because he has a son), and I told him -besides the obvious answer- that they kept me busy doing good things, reading good books, and playing with good friends.  :)  And that's what I do, pretty much.

I also got out with my sister to play Frisbee today (A good idea since it's mostly good weather around the U.S.), and my operator is going to take me and his son out to eat tonight.  :)  It's a reward for reading a Proverb a day from mid-August to January.  :)

That's pretty much what I do...  :)

What If?

I'm (hopefully) going to be posting a few ideas on here that are titled "What If?", and their purpose is to start a discussion (if y'all want to talk) and get some ideas, and start thinking how things are wrong, how we can make them right, ...etc.

So... First What If ~

What if the Church did what the government is doing with the tithes that they're supposed to be getting?

What I mean is this... the government's hand doesn't belong in education, medicine, transportation, and the works (that's where socialized/rationalized health care, extremely inefficient schools, and oppressive taxes come from).
But if they aren't supposed to do it - who is? Are families supposed to do some of this (like education)? Is the Church supposed to take charge of some areas (like hospitals)? And why don't we pay more tithes to the Church instead of being taxed by the government?

It's about time Christians started thinking (that's a starting place at least) about what we're doing as a nation. ...And if the South should rise again!

Brushlets

Hey fellow Bloggers! (Or Blog readers...)

I'm now in the business of selling these hot new items!

Some friends of mine came up with the idea of taking a toothbrush and making it into a bracelet! We call them Brushlets! :) Simply put, you can pop it on your wrist (don't try and push it over your wrist, they might break if you force them too much) and have a stylish bracelet (...I mean Brushlet. ;).

If you would like some, they're for sale at $3 apiece (+Shipping and handling, when needed), and you can just leave a comment in the comment box, and I'll get back with you.

By the way, they come in 4 different colors - Red, Blue, Green, and Purple. :)

A chip in my tooth...

Well, the title says it all!

I recently chipped my tooth when I slipped, fell, and banged my teeth into a Basketball goal that I was helping some friends take to the dump...

Here are 3 pics...

Before I chipped it.

 After I chipped it.

Now - with my tooth nicely capped off by a good dentist.  :)

 

Chipping my tooth...  I knew it would happen sooner or later - When you live like I do, things are bound to happen (Like breaking legs, teeth, fingers, etc...)  ;)

 

Thankfully God was gracious to me this time - All the dentists that looked at it said that I came within 1millimeter of exposing the nerves and damaging it beyond repair!

PS...  Let me know if you can tell the difference, or how my new smile looks!  :)

The Annual Rivalry

Last year some guys from our Frisbee group headed on over to Whitesburg to play the Carrollton Frisbee group.  We had a lot of fun, and thought about making it an annual event...  And that's what we're trying to do now - get another team to go over there!  I put the date on the side of my blog, but it's only penciled in right now - we might choose another date if our team (or the Carrollton team) can't get enough players by then, but I don't think it'll be a problem.

Now realize something...  This is a COMPETITIVE game!  We play by a lot of the "real" rules (out-of-bounds, timing the thrower, wearing cleats), and the style of play is a lot different - when we normally play, it's do whatever you want to do, scrambled eggs.  But when we played Carrollton, there's a lot of need for discipline...  We played man-to-man coverage, and advanced zone coverage when we couldn't do man-to-man.

Soooo...  That being said, I would like any of you who are interested in playing to let me know!  It will be challenging, it takes a little knowledge of the game, and it's very fast-paced with different rules.  I'm in charge of organizing the PTC Group, so email me or comment in the comment box under this post if you want to know more about it.

One more thing I'll let you know so you can think about it...  There are going to be a lot of "big guys" playing on the Carrollton team, and there's only going to be one team from each group playing, so remember that, but in the years following this one, we're hoping to make it more family-friendly and add a couple teams.

Consider it.  Let me know.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

And a merry Black Friday!  :)

Seemingly Random Thoughts on Frisbee... And/or fellowship...

Frisbee is over.

The 2010 season is finally finished.

:'(

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to live with it - BUT!  Next year's season will be upon us before we even know it!  And then there's next year's End Party...  And Frisbee 2012...  2013...  2014...

...Before you realize it, the so-called "little kids" will be in HS, the "big kids" will be graduating college, the parents will be grandparents, and so on!  All the while this is happening, there is an event that will go on every Friday night through the warm months - the kids will grow old and tell their grandchildren how they caught the last point of the year to give their team the win, or how they remember the day that they met ___ at Frisbee and now they're best buds, or even how the first time they drove, they drove themselves to a game of Frisbee!

If you look deep enough into it, you'll find that Frisbee is just another tool for the objective.  You can learn valuable lessons playing Frisbee, or even while talking to the people afterward.  You can build great friendships, or catch up on old ones.

What I'm trying to get across is this - "Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away."
~ James 4:14

Have you seen your breath this year when you've walked outside?  Do you remember just one of those??
That's you.
Your life on Earth is just about as big as that vapor.

So, what does that have to do with Frisbee?
Well, just this...  When anyone looks back on that vapor, will they remember all the brilliant games you had?  Will they remember how cool you looked to your friends while you were playing?
Or will they remember if you put Frisbee as secondary tertiary in order that you might put others first?

I like the sport of Frisbee...  Anyone can tell you that.  I have kept records of my stats through the years (Starting in '07) But I love nothing else than to create, and build existing, relationships with people after the games!  I also like to try and get my teammates to not feel bad if they mess up.  That's what Frisbee is about!

I'm kind of writing this as I think of things - so please pardon me if it seems random.  :)  I'll leave you now with the sum of my thoughts..

~If you believe (As you must) that our life is as fleeting as a vapor, and that we must try and salvage all that we can, then you must also believe that when you come TO Frisbee, you're not just coming FOR Frisbee...  It's much more than that.

It's always good to put things into perspective.

I'm looking forward to what the next year holds...  I have been since I can remember!  :)
Frisbee 2011 - I'm ready!
