Good weekend

This weekend was pretty good over all. To start off, this is the first weekend I haven't worked, so that is nice. I also switched mondays so I don't work today either. On friday I went to our schools basketball game. That was fun. I love watching and playing sports. On saturday Michelle and I saw the movie Juno. We get extra credit it our sociology class if we see movies related to sociology in theatures. I would recommend Juno, but it is a movie where you could wait till it comes out to rent.

Sunday I went to church, that was good. I know some people just zone off in church, but I find the things our pastor relates to things interesting. I also went to the Jr. High. Thats always good as well. Practiced forensics and made snickerdoodle cookies. That was my weekend. Pretty good I'd have to say.

Before I was talking about church. Offten I think people feel like they have to be in church to be with god. I don't agree with that. Here is a good quote to show you what I mean.

"Some go to church and think about fishing, others go fishing and think about God." --Tony Blake

Now, when people go to church, I know a lot of people don't actually listen. They zone out, fall asleep, things of that nature. I think you can be in other places and still be with who you feel is the man upstairs.

Today in gym we did more trust activities. One I had trouble with. Not because I dont trust the people in my class, but with my dizzy and whatever is wrong with me, I have really bad balance.

We had a group of kids in a circle, and one person in the middle. The person in the middle says "spotters ready?" then the group says "Ready" and then the middle says "falling" and they group say "fall on" So basically you just fall down and the people in the circle push you to the next person. You have to keep your feet together. I did okay at it, but my balance is so bad! Ah well. It was fun.

We also played a game called tank tag. It starts with two people in a group. One is blind folded, one isn't. Next we have these balls that kinda look like yarn spread across in the room. If your the blind folded person, your partner tells you where to go and when to bend down to pick up the ball. After you have the ball they tell you where you throw it. The object is to hit the other blind folded people. It was a pretty fun game.

I have a chiroprator appointment today. That should be interesting. I haven't gone in awhile, atleast a year-ish. Maybe she will see somthing that other doctors havent.

I love fishing, so here are some fishing quotes I found interesting. :)

"Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains." --Henry DavidThoreau

"Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years." --Charles Haas

For the rich, there is therapy. For the rest of us, there is FISHING! --Unknown

have a good day!

Thank you for your comments about church. As you know, I attend services regularly. It is frustrating for me because with DeeDee as young as she is, she is often squirmy and tired by the time the main service begins. I have to spend most of my time trying to keep her quiet so I don't get to listen to much of the service.

Often I have to get an audio CD of the day's service and listen to it later when it is quiet and I can focus on what our pastor is saying.
