Disgrace

I rarely post anything from the sports world. But this I must get off my chest. I am greatly disappointed to see many of today's athletes disgracing the sports world. Sports carries with it a sense of respect, dignity, and honesty, but today that seemingly is being destroyed by money hungry, selfish pigs. For example, the referee that has been implicated in a gambling fiasco that included his betting on games he officiated. But my biggest aggrivation is with Barry Bonds. Bonds is at the center of a huge invistigation involving steroid usage. What makes this doubly frustrating is that he is only three home runs away from breaking the long standing home run record held by Hank Aaron. It is usually awesome to watch an individual in the chase of breaking such records, but today I'm aggravated through-and-through. Hank Aaron set his record honestly, but Bonds has had to use steroids. To me, he will never rightly own the home run title. I have a great suggestion that would keep him from obtaining the title. This controversy has left Bonds almost freindless in the NBL. I think all of the pitchers should join together and intentionally walk Bonds every time he steps into the batter's box. Even if it cost them the game...Bonds should never be able to hit another home run again. It would be great to see him three home runs away, but never hit another. A cheater doesn't deserve to hold the title that someone else has earned honestly. This is my humble opinion...Bonds has disgraced baseball.

Another bucket of balls finished.

One of the fun things that the men in our family enjoy is golf. It is a great sport. You play only as good as you are. Dad and I have had some great times on the golf course. We look forward to playing everytime we can. In a couple of years Justin will be able to join the fun.

Mt. of Blessings has become a bright spot in our families life. We look foward to it every year. Mt. of Blessings is different in many ways, but the main difference is that it is a family camp. It is very laid back. There is a great mixture of activity and spiritual emphasis. This year our attendance was up on an average of 30 people per day. God's presence was there and people found help...that's what it is all about.
