blog away

after bloggin for the camp's site i figured it was only fitting to continue with the way I really feel about some things that have arisen this week.
since you can't always talk to your team about certain issues, for team moral it is better to not address them...and since you can't always find time to talk to others on the phone about these things for time constraints and voice mails and the like
that's what this is for.
Let's talk about what I absolutely harbor resentful feelings towards
#1 church volunteers who bicker, biccer, ya know don't agree on things in front of the kids in the middle of the ball game
#2 church volunteers who offer their opinion and haggle the ref...me...at a church sports camp where we are attempting to teach outstanding behavior and loving one another, and by all means yes be competetive, but just do your best and don't worry about outside forces, obstacles, powers, things you can't control...for goodness sakes what is this whole weeks theme anyway!!??
#3 last one, these volunteers being teachers themselves and who are old enough, by that I mean they are parents and have kids too old for the camp, but they act as old as some of the campers!!! ahhhh!!!
whew, okay, thanks, I'm good now.
Let's talk about what I absolutely love
#1 when the campers on a team that not all can dribble and move their feet at the same time, not all can seem to see any other person with their same color jersey on...these players, they connect, they have one great series of passes, quick, sharp, and the last one, the shooter puts it up, and it's good!!! whhooooooooooowwwwwwwwoooooooo the crowd goes wild! Oh man, let's put that one on UW espn I mean it was good.
#2 A player tells his teammates to look for the open man, when everyone else is looking for their friends to pass the ball to.
#3 when the kids shout at the top of their lungs Hey! Jesus Loves Me! along with the song and you know people are hearing this in a neighborhood, where they possibly never hear the words of truth that anyone really really loves them
#4 Hearing other's life stories on the van ride home each night
#5 living with a family that adors and respects one another, has multiple kids, and looks for opportunities to give, bless, encourage, and talk about everything and listen about everything...that's beautiful.
#6 listening to your fav new songs...even when the rain fall, even when the flood starts risin, even when the storm comes. I am washed by the water...
Thank you Jesus.
