East Shelby Singing

Today was our first annual singing. We had 289 people attend. The singing was fantastic! What a great time to sing songs together for almost two hours...

    I don't know how often you check this thing but I wanted to thank you for your sermons at the VBS last week. They were the shot in the arm that I needed to get busy in our area. I also wanted to say that I love your kiddos and wife. You are very blest. I really enjoyed talking with DewAnn (sp?). And Luke loved your kids too. He told me Jillian was his new best friend. I like to be around other people whose kids are real. Makes us smile. Hope your work in Collierville keeps prospering with the Lord's blessing.

PhotobucketIf you look closely you'll see a white sleeve sticking out in front of the blue player closest to the goal. That's Jillian scoring her first goal...

    Pitching certainly lends itself to getting better photos. Less movement and the pitcher is isolated from everyone else. Some decent action shots though :)

    As a side note, I will let my kids play whatever sports they want to play, but I will do WHATEVER I CAN to influence them away from Soccer. I'd almost rather watch grass grow than watch soccer :)

    I have coached soccer several times, and while it is far from my favorite sport I like a lot more than coaching volleyball or softball.

  • jdb1972
    The question: Did she score it for her own team?
    by jdb1972 at 04/19/09 4:17PM
  • terryfrancis
    Yes. My team has not scored a goal for the other team all year.

    Very fun! Ross will have this year and next with machine pitch. He will not be old enough for player pitch until 2 years from now. Meanwhile, Ross has really shown growth since last season. His team has played and won 2 games so far, but they are also showing more discipline and eagerness to learn. This season is going to be fun!

    He's wearing the right uniform. :D

    You can tell how much he's concentrating by the way he's biting his bottom lip! Looks like you have a growing athelete there.

    Awesome pictures. He's very into what he's doing. He looks so tough.

    He is most definitely NOT wearing the right uniform! Go Cards! Great pictures. Good arm angle. Maybe bend the knees a little more (can't tell by the pictures) :) Let me know how the season goes. Those first few years of pitching were just absolutely awesome! One of the best feelings out there, striking someone out :)

    Great pictures! He looks so grown-up! It was really great seeing you and your family in Memphis. It just made me happy. :)

He also got the assist on the first out bare-handing the ball.

Overall, it was a great night! We won 6-4.

    Sweet! Are you coaching? Team name? Don't let him start throwing curves too early :)

    THE CUBS! I'm glad I never had to be on the Cubs :) Scorekeeping is how my mom met my dad. She was the scorekeeper for the baseball team at FC and he was the catcher. Right now I'm not coaching the 15-16 year old team that I coached the past two years. I'm playing on a men's competitive softball team with my dad and having a blast.
