Weekend At The Park

This weekend my grandfather, cousin, and I all traveled up to my cousins house to watch him plat baseball. We had heard he was very good, but had never had time to go up to West Palm Beach to watch him play.........until this weekend. He was selected to play on the All-Star team for Royal Palm Beach in the State Tournament. On Friday night there was an opening ceremony at Roger Dean Stadium that we went to and then we went to his house. We spent the night and then Saturday was the tournament. My cousin, Zach, played very well. He was the first person to get on base after a few innings and then stole a base. Unfortunately, after a two run homer and a couple of hits and runs, they lost. So now they play on Monday to see who will get eliminated. Although they lost, it was a great weekend. We got to spend alot of time together at the pool, on X-Box, and playing football. On Friday night we went to Quarterdeck and my Uncle, both cousins, and I all got two Sobe Adrenaline Rush's. We were all wired, except for my Uncle. So when we got home we played football in the pitch black.

First Trip to Ikea!!!

Today was a very fun day. After church my mom, grandpa, and I met up with my aunt and cousin and we all journeyed to Ikea. We weren't expecting it to be packed, but oh were we surprised. There was a ginormous line for parking and once we had entered the store, it was crazy. There were seas of people everywhere. We were there there for at least 2 hours and me and my cousin made the best of it. We sat in everything practical and drifted away from our parents quit often. We were amazed that they had a map of the store and pencils, so we took about 5 pencils home with us. My cousin was a maniac on the cart and ran into me at least twice. We traveled through the whole store and then ate lunch. It was very cheap and quit delicious. As we went to leave the store we looked outside and it was raining. So we ran to the 2nd floor of the parking garage and my mom ran to the car. All-in-all it was a quit enjoyable afternoon. Here are some pics:

THE SNEEZE

I got this short story on an email. I thought it was very good and just wanted to share it with you! Read it, it doesn't take long.

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional caps, they looked almost ... as grown up as they felt. Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and moms freely brushed away tears. This class would NOT pray during the commencements----not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it. The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families. The speeches were nice, but they were routine ... until the final speech received a standing ovation. A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then, it happened....All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!! The student on stage.. simply looked at the audience and said, 'GOD BLESS YOU' each and every one of you!' And then he calmly walked off stage... The audience exploded into applause. This graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's approval. Isn't this a wonderful story? Pass it on to all your friends.........and GOD BLESS YOU!!!! This is a true story; it happened at the University of Maryland . And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
