a big night


whizboy is all about sports, you know? this fall he started talking about becoming a sports broadcaster and talked and talked and talked. so we mentioned to our local guy that whizboy might be interested in seeing how it is done. last night was his big chance!!!


we headed off to senior night where whizboy got to see all that went into being live on the radio. he was taken into the locker room to meet the team and then able to read the records on air. as the game came to an end he made his picks for play of the night and player of the night. he differed with his play, but the rest was right on! he was then able to close out the post game show with reading the high scores!


here he is getting the headset on! it cracked us up because he is SOOOO animated at home while watching a game, but his nerves got the best of him and he spoke so calmly and quietly!

a big thanks out to our local station - only in small town america will a great guy give this young boy a chance to live his dreams!!! needless to say, it took a long time for him to calm down and settle into bed.

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
