Depressing Music
I was feeling pretty down in the dumps yesturday. We went to church. We thought we would get out early for once (if 2.5 hours of church is getting out early) because the associate pastor preached instead of the senior pastor (who takes flippin' forever). But to our shear boredom the senior pastor took over at 1:30 post-meridian and went on about...pretty much nothing, for an hour more (making it 3.5 hours total). we all left with headaches because they don't understand anything about sound systems. walker and any other sound-knowledged person would freak out. I would offer help and try to soften the burden on our ear-drums but the pastor has the soundboard up front right where we would have our communine table at TCC. he even has a mini soundboard behind the pulpit. And the pastor is very controlling over it.
Depression turned Happiness
After church we went home and did chores. (And there was much rejoicing...yeay!) After chores we picked music for our citywide, where we all get together for worship and food and one-on-one's (accountability) and fellowship. The worship went good. I read a scripture to the crowd. We ate BLT's. And the message from Leroy was great. It really hit home for me. The best part was the fellowship afterwards. We formed a few three person teams and played a quick tourniment or basketball. I played with Zac, a good b-ball player, and Mark, a new-zealander who has a style resembling a harlem globe-trotter. We won the tourny. And I scored a handful of points. It was fun. I played well. I think coaching basketball has made me more knowledgable of the game and the moves and the rules. It has made me more aggressive in my playing because I am always urging our guys to drive into the paint and make the lay-up and things similar to that. My coaching has rubbed off on me. But all in all, I felt happier afterwards.
Then to top it all off we went to Leroy's house and made smores outside via a campfire...And there was wood-chip throwing war that insued.
