The Deception Trap

I love this video! This is probably my favorite out of all of them just because I could SOOO see myself doing some of this to joke around on a fun day outside (keeping in mind I would never cheat like that seriously)....in fact, I have taken very similar "practice swings." And I am definitely going to remember to pull out my 'hand wedge' next time I'm looking to crawl out of a steep bunker :) I have no idea why we (men) feel the need to be good at everything, but man do we try our darndest to make everyone think we are!

Golf Lessons

I mentioned back in June that I've picked-up another 'sport.' I only put quotes around it because it is more a skill sport than anything else, and it doesn't require much physical effort. Although I like to think I am a quick learner and athletically, I can do anything....it's apparent that golf is NOT one of those sports you can just grab a club and just swing. For several months now I've considered going for some golf lessons at the club down the street, but I'm yet to go cough up the $80/hour that it costs to learn from a Pro. Maybe I should though....apparently there is a lot to learn from golf.

From the same guys who brought most of the videos I've posted here (GCC), over the next couple of days I am going to post their Golfisodes. I think they used these videos to open discussion/sermon on communication. This video opened discussion on timeliness and how proper timing can heavily impact the weight that your words carry. Just in the several months I've read Mark's blog (the Sr. Pastor of GCC) I've noticed he has scripture for just about anything and everything he posts, so this is just like another one of his seemingly random but surprisingly appropriate posts (aside from the fairly crude mention of younger women).

Check back tomorrow for Golfisode 2 and the potential deceptions of communication in the golf game!

Sunday School

During Sunday School yesterday, Courtney led a short discussion of the future and our plans versus God plans. It was really fun to hear the evolution of some of the girls' career ideas. I hope you can enjoy these excerpts from the conversation...it was certainly fun to listen in!


Taylor: I think I'd want to be a professional soccer player.
Elizabeth: Did that change between childhood and now?
Morgan: Yes, she WANTED to be a Power Ranger! (the pink one, just FYI)

Courtney: I don't want to be stuck in one place, I want a career that will allow me to travel a lot.
Taylor: If you're a soccer player, you get to travel a lot...
Katherine: Well, if you're a power ranger, you get to FLY!
