Ramblings

It's been 25 days into my 40 day Coke fast. I tell you folks, it hasn't been easy. My friends have been great, though. Grace bought a cheerwine in wal-mart the other night instead of a coke which was pretty cool of her. Most places I go out to eat requires sweet tea anyway, so it's really been ok. There are those places like Moe's, Waffle House, and Steak and Shake where nothing else will do and then it hurts. But it's been good overall.

Confession time. I may be the most competetive person on the planet. That ones a shocker to most of you I know. I'm coaching 8 & 9 year olds in rec league soccer this fall and practice started in full force this week. Tuesdays practice was awesome. It was semi-raining, cold, and the kids were all scared of me because I was taller. At Thursdays practice, such things were not the case. They didn't listen to a word I said and they couldn't keep their hands off the ball. And what's the ONE part of the body we don't use in soccer? yea. I was 8 years old when I played my first soccer game, and I have been on exactly one team with a winning record since then. I know losing builds character and all that fun stuff, but I really want this team to win a few times. No one, no matter how old you are, wants to be on a losing sports team. But as the coach I have to keep "FUN" written on my hand during games. ha.

I'm in a fantasy football league with my Pastor and I think that's really cool. The Panthers are actually winning this year, and with every player in the NFL getting hurt recently, heck, we may make it to the Super Bowl. Doubtful.
