Accomplished something! I blogged

Well I'm finally in a good mood. I'm not a creature that functions well with a lot of uncertaintity - I barely know how to spell uncertaintity. Did I spell that right? Anyway, you throw a bunch of different stuff my way, Spring soccer starting (MSU), family getting sick, foot hurting, minor outpatient surgery and I struggle. Its almost comical. I cannot do two things at one time. I wish I could say admitting this will get me on my way to recovery but theres no way. I actually sat here for 15 minutes this morning trying to figure out which of the three things I need to do - to do first. No lie. I came to the conclusion that sitting here thinking was fun and an easy way to relax and not do anything. I lie and say its my bodies way of telling me to relax but this is the 5th day of "relaxing". I joke (a little).
Saw 3:10 to Yuma yesterday on DVD. This was another reminder that you can take a pretty good movie and make it awesome with good acting. Crowe (phone thrower) and Bale (batman)were great in it.
We tied our first game (under 14 girls) in club soccer last night. We play in a incredibly hard league but you would think I could have gotten a tie before the 10th game. Its always fun to leave MSU practice at 5pm and jump in a car to go to Dallas for a 8pm game.
If your not really invested in the political scene right now this whole thing is a beat down. I know - we need to be invested, this person will be our next President. So bear down and pay attention people. Lets Rock the Vote in November. Ughhh - Josh - I'm just going to pick someone based on sound bits! To those who don't know Josh, he is picturing himself strangling me right now!
By the way I need to apoligize to Josh he invited me to hang out with him and I never called him back. For some reason MSU doesn't recognize Pres. day and I worked. Our school district didn't take the day off either. Sorry, Abe and George. Asked one of my Fresh. who the Pres. was during the civil war - she had no clue - Rock the Vote! Back to asking forgivness to Josh - should have called you and I apoligize, in fact I would tell you this on the phone but I deleted the message on my work phone. This apology sounds very political - Rock the Vote!

Adventures

Where do I start? We went to see Casting Crowns on Thursday night. This is the second time we have seen them. It was a different experience. The first was two summers ago and it was their Lifesong tour. This was their second album. It was a smaller venue and really was an awesome experience. They told different stories behind some of their popular songs and it really made it real.
This time it was a much larger venue (good for them) and they are on The Altar and the Door tour. I really enjoyed this also but in a different way. Seeing their work in the mission field (they showed a video) touched me. They also did a neat thing with the group near the end, they all praying for us. I liked the big screen with the words to the songs - more of a praise and worship atmosphere.
Its neat to see a group grow and develop their shows. I went through the same thing with Michael W. Smith. I had the chance to see his first tour (not giving the date) and also see him probably 5 times since and the shows are always different and great.
I realllllyy recommend a Casting Crowns show for any age! I also had the chance to get Lifestories a book written by Mark Hall (CC'S) lead singer and it gives the background and scripture behing everyone of their songs. It has a section for notes and great questions at the end of every chapter. Love it!
So the baby then Kel then both boys all had the flu. Well it came knocking and for some odd reason I opened the door on Saturday night. I hate throwing up. I realize everyone does but that doesn't make me want to complain any less!! I'm over it and alive but it was not another fun Saturday night in America for me!
Today is a disaster - ever have a day where one thing goes wrong and then you forget about something, then try to fix it and wreak something else. Well that all occurred in about one hour this morning, the first hour of the work day. I won't go into details but if I don't reschedule something then my wife will be very upset! If I do reschedule then my boss (A.D.) will be frustrated. #$%^& thats not me cussing its me hitting the keyboards as hard as I can!

Knight's Kingdom

First things first - Bobby Knight resigned. I just read a scorching commentary on how he left his team high and dry. He quit when he demands his players to fight. The idea of the criticism was somewhat accurate but I don't quite buy the whole arguement. In the realm of the General I will take him for what he said, he was "tired". This is not an ordinary job that was dome by and ordinary man. This job is not as streesful as some but in his world he made it as stressful as any. Knight pushed himself and his teams to play perfect basketball. His personality and intensity didn't take praqctices and games off. It had to be hard to push for this long and not have the energy the last year or so. Some say well its convenient that he quit right after he got to 900 wins. Sure its convenient he probably did that on purpose - so what. People have goals and things they want to achieve and he wouldn't admit it but he wasn't going to stop at 899 and I have nooo problem with that. He is not leaving his team high and dry - please. His son is taking over and you can't tell me he won't be around sometimes. Patrick has basically had a hand in everything Bob has done the last few years anyway. Anyways I'm excited for Tech's team because Patrick will be a great coach.

Watched The Kingdom last night. I really liked it. Great beginning, going over the history of the relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. It was a pretty good movie also. Its in the Syriana type class for movies. That can be uninteresting for some but good for others.

Loved the Super Bowl! for three quarters of bland football the fourth made the game. I really am happy for Eli. I have never really like Tiki Barber and his criticism of Eli at the beginning of the year irked me. It was nice for the Giants to win just because Tiki was retired and Shockey was out. Tom Coughlin was raked over the coals all year so that was nice for him to get one.

Wednesday night Lost

How is all the great people of the blog world doing today? Yesterday was my favorite type of day. It was cold, I could make a fire in our fireplace, nothing was going on and I got to be at home after work all night!! Its a simple thing but the three boys, two jobs and celebrity life style we live doesn't allow for many nights of calm. I am kidding about the celebrity life style for those of you who can't recognize sarcasm.
Wednesday night I had the chance to speak at our youth group. I talked about Leadership and how it manifests itself within our Christian lives. I won't bore you with the details of the lesson. Its a wild thing (speaking in public) for me. I get really anxious leading up to the day of the talk - kinda like having to wait all day to tell your dad you got in trouble at school. Then when the day comes I seem to relax until the actual hour before. This was no exception. I truly wanted to exit stage left about five minutes before I went up there. I could have done it to but I'm not as quick as I used to be and with my wit, talking my way out of it would not have been a successful option. So I waited and decided to give it a go. I did get to wear a head set type microphone which was cool. I used the church's power point which was fun and challenging. It was a multimedia festival for me! After talking for about twenty minutes I showed the music video of Casting Crowns song Does anybody hear her. It deals with a teenage girl who struggles in life and makes some poor decisions. It challenges others to focase outside of themselves and look for opportunities to reach out. Anyway, it fit well in my lesson. Once I was done I felt really good (about being done) but also felt like I was terrible up there. My wife watched the entire thing and was positive about how it went. Anyone who knows Mrs. Kelly Trimble knows that she will speak the truth about what she saw and not sugar coat things. Thats what I love about her - especially when its positive about me! The more I think about it I feel good especially for my first time in front of the group. We have an amazing youth group with great interns and leaders. These kids are great to be around and I love that I get to help out.
Lost last night was great. I really can't wait for this season to play out. I'm going to have to watch the whole thing all over again once this series is over just to keep up on all the storylines. Every episode Kelly says "don't you remember when.." and I suddenly remeber when...
