dodgeball - the aftermath

Well, it was quite an afternoon at the church gym yesterday. I was so very pleasantly surprised at how many people were there and how many teams. There were very nice teams of young ladies, teams of old people like me, and some really scary teams of big teenage boys.

After watching the first few games, I begged the promoters to move our team to the Jr division. Now if you are feeling bad about old guys playing the Jr High kids, don't. They beat us like a drum.

Today, I am:
1. proud of our kids
2. proud of Brian and how he managed it all.
3. embarrassed for the next time I see the youngsters that beat us.
4. sore as can be.

It was a great afternoon and who knows where it will lead. It was very enjoyable to get together with so many wonderful folks from our church.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

The church that plays together stays together, and is a "together" congregation. Love it. And all for a good cause.

One question, since this could easily become an annual event, with a standing room only gallery. Next year will their be a junior junior level, for the old guys?

No one was as old as you that played!!!!! You were definitely the oldest. But we are proud of you for participating.


Thank goodness you did not use a walker.
