ultimate frisbee

tonight, my daughters and I threw a frisbee in the back yard ...

I'm teaching Ava and Adiah how to hold and throw the frisbee like a man ... not those sissy girl throws ... flimsy wrist and soft flick ... you know what I"m talking about ... I mean, Ava can really throw that frisbee ... in fact, the other day, she almost gave Adiah a concussion ... frisbee's are dangerous ... they don't tell you that at the sporting goods store ...

and so I began thinking about Ultimate Frisbee ... one of my favorite past times ... so, when it stops raining, I've decided to get some friends together and play Ultimate Frisbee on Tuesday nights ... Enterprise Park, by Kid's Kingdom ...

we'll bbq and play some frisbee ... and if we get bored, we can play roller hockey ...

man in the water

I just finished the screenplay for a short film I've been writing for Erase the Dark ... 'man in the water' ... you know, like 'lady in the water,' except it's a man ...

We're shooting it over the next couple of weeks ... starring Kristina Hayes, Aaron Holmes, Dan Lance, Derrick Fleck, Billy Brown and others ... Drew Maw is filming it ... he's the man ... I can't wait ...

And I can't wait to see M. Night's new film, the Happening ...

the cliff

when I was 16 years old, the DMV finally granted me a drivers license ... bless their hearts ... three weeks later, I drove my car off a cliff ...

it was raining cats and dogs ... not really, but I wanted to use the expression ... it was heavy rain, if you know what I mean ... I was young ... my parents were away on a vacation to Hawaii ... I took the light blue Ford Tempo out for a cruise ...

and yep, I drove my parents car right off a cliff ... they call it hydroplaning ... I left the car in the ditch and walked a mile to the nearest pay phone ... I called my grandpa ... true story ...

one day I'll teach my son how to drive stick ... and I'll take him back to that cliff ... and I'll tell Asher how is father drove off a cliff and lived ... that'll teach him ...

tight black suit

yep, I'm the wedding guy ... I'm that guy ...

seriously, if you had known me 5 years ago and you'd have asked me if I thought I'd ever be a wedding guy ... no way ... but look at me ... I wear a tight black suit ... I show up for the dress rehearsal ... I perform the wedding ceremony ... i carry the little black book with vows and all the secret wedding stuff ... and when people ask what's in my little black book, I say, 'that's none of your business' ...

anyways, i just finished one more wedding ... scott and melissa ... my greatest fear is messing up someone's wedding ... it's terrifying ... everyone's watching ... parents ... grandma ... friends ... and I'm standing there in my tight black suit ... terrified ...

so, here's one more wedding blooper ... at the end of Scott and Melissa's the ceremony, I'm supposed to say, 'and that's how husbands ought to LOVE their wives' ... instead, I say, 'and that's how husbands ought to LEAVE their wives' ... true story ... everyone is laughing ... I'm about to die ...

sometimes I'd rather be a wedding singer ...

chutes and ladders

this week has been amazing ...

it's friday night ... early tonight, i met Scott Davis and Melissa Maxwell at the Nazarene church for their wedding dress rehearsal ... 20 minutes ... a world record ... i love quick rehearsals ... i mean, come on, how hard can it be ... walk up the aisle ... say i do ... kiss the bride ... walk back down the aisle ... everyone cheers ... done ...

now I'm hanging with family ... i just finished a brutal game of chutes and ladders with my daughters ... adiah cheats and ava is super competitive ... i wonder where she got it ... i miss the good old board games ... like monopoly and life and twister ...

my all time favorite game is risk ... 6 guys around a good old game of risk ... all night long ... it's business time ... you know exactly what I'm talking about ... business time ... that's why they call them business socks ...

the night is just getting started ...

sabbath

monday is my day off . . . my sabbath . . .

sabbath comes from the hebrew word shabbat, which means 'to cease' . . . literally, to cease doing . . . a day to simply enjoy God and the world He's given to us . . . for me, sabbath is this one day of the week where I am reminded that I am not defined by what I do, but by who I am . . . a child of God . . .

I've been talking about it for weeks, but today I actually shut off my cell phone . . . normally, I hover over my cell phone all day long . . . but not today . . . because it can wait until tomorrow . . .

I woke up . . . I showered . . . I ate Macadamian Nut pancakes . . . I worked out at the gym to get rid of the pancakes . . . I took Adiah on a date to Jamba Juice . . . we ran into my brother Jeremy and Meghan at Discovery Village . . . I ate lunch . . . I watched Prison Break with my amazing wife . . . took a nap . . . wrestled with the girls . . . Asher just started walking . . . I ate dinner . . . I blogged . . .

I can't believe I get to live this life . . .
