Friday, I went to the High School 50th Anniv/Homecoming Game. It was great. The game went in to overtime and Sun Valley came out on top. I wish I knew what day of the week a field goal was worth 6 points. Somehow, the visiting team of Anson High got 6 points for a field goal. I missed something in the points systems. Any way, my kids had a great time. I haven't seen them that animated in weeks. Only at a high school game do you see woman trying to be cute with heels, makeup and dressed to the nines. I sat there thinking - are they running for homecoming queen or are the girls. After watching a few of them slip and nearly fall on the bleachers- I settled in and enjoyed the game. I had to remind one man that this is just a high school game and all of the profanity wasn't needed. Talk about taking a game to the extreme - there weren't any college scouts in the stands that anyone was aware of. Yet this dad, was saying what he was going to do to his son for missing a pass. I pray that I never put that kind of pressure on my son. I want him to play for the love of the game, not because of some athletic scholarship - all though that would be nice. I need him to have the academics as well.
Saturday was a blast at the church Fall Festival. I love our youth choir. Those kids can sing and minister. They did an amazing job standing out in the hot sun and giving their heart in all of that heat. Tina, Jason and the band are to be commended for what they brought out of those kids. Of course I was there cheering my daughter on as she sang. I am so proud of her for breaking out of her shell of being so shy. My son decided at the last minute not to get on the stage with the kids choir. He couldn't if he wanted to - we got there while they were already on the stage. Great food, fellowship and the pastor brought a great message. I loved being there with my wife and the kids. A day not to cook - I need more of those. We got to meet so many new people. They let you know what southern hospitality is really all about.
We got home and watched a movie - No More Baths. A good wholesome family film. I highly recommend Feature Films For Families. They teach good morals and values without getting in your face about it. So that brings me to day. Burgers on the grill, time with the family, going to church and kicking back relaxing. And I didn't watch one football game. I did however get into a small "discussion" with a few people on issues that I don't wish to talk about tonight - maybe tomorrow. I have to entire family home for the day and we are going to have a wonderful day - take in a movie at the $3 theatre and then come home and make dinner.
Peace and have a great night
