Games Practice 4

Today, we didn't practice any AWANA games during practice. Instead, Everett Timmons ran us through every exercise of which he thought. Lunges, shuffles, crunches, push ups, and everything else under the sun. This happened 4 1/2 hours ago and I am still sore. I took account of those who were not there without a reason. (For the record, if anyone was there who was wondering why Shaney, Arielle, and Brian weren't there: Shaney was flying to a funeral in California, Arielle had soccer practice and then drove all the way from San Marcos, and Brian was at a debate meeting which he was obligated to go to because he missed the last two meetings due to coming to AWANA.) If anyone else had a good reason NOT to be there, I suggest you tell me because it might end up costing you.

It was good though. I saw a lot of people just get up and quit. I was also very impressed with one girl (unfortunately, I don't know her name to give her full credit). She put a lot of effort into everything and she isn't even going to Summit. Too bad.

This was a much needed reality check for everyone, including myself. We have a long way to go before we are getting anywhere at Summit.

I am still upset with the hand that I have been dealt for the third straight year, but I am coming to grips with the fact that this is what I have and I need to make the best of it. I am also upset that I have to rework the entire strategy in the matter of a few weeks. I had worked on the old one for months.

And now I am upset with several leaders and their judgments of what I have to say (see below post), but they are entitled to their opinions.

That's all I have to say for for now.
