The world through jo's eyes

Wow, it's been like 5 days (i think) since the last time i posted. That's a LONG TIME man! Not much has happened since then, so i guess that's why i haven't posted anything. Plus, work's been giving me a LOT to do lately, and so i've been doing that. I'm actually starting to WORK for my money now, isn't that swell!? =)

But today has been really slow! =( I've just been aroudn asking peopel for work for a while now, and now that i have something to do, i'm just gonna take my sweet time at doing it! =)

Well this weekend was fun. We had the ETCBC mixer for the three teams, and the CCSA mixer all on the same day. SO that was really exciting! The CITY-WIDE ALL-STARS!! oH babie! We OWNED every game! =) Even the quiz that Will gave us with all these useless sports knowledge questions on it. My prize was the Storm Front poster of Patrick Roy. The poster's nice, but it says "STORM FRONT" in big letters! What is that supposed to mean?!? So i'm not sure if i'm gonna put that up on my wall yet....but oh well! =) So that was a good time of fellowship and really getting to share good times with the kiddies on the other teams! =) Thanks to some of the lions who came out, it was great to see you there, and i'm really glad that you guys came! =)
The CCSA mixer was okay i guess, the speaker was challenging, however, said some questionable things. But i think i got more out of what the speaker said, than what i disagreed with him on. He challenged us and said, "If you are a Christian on your team, then you have a role on the team. You aren't just a player, but you are a leader because you must be an example, and a Christian leader on your team." (i'm paraphrasing btw) ANd he also said "CCSA is not simply two teams playing a game of softball, it's more than just the game. It's a minsitry and we have to view it as a ministry." And i totally agree, bc it is a ministry. People always tell me that there is always a lack of committement in the senior teams because these people have lives and jobs and stuff. BUt i see all those things as an excuse. Because softball is a ministry, and you are doing this for GOD. You are on a team to honour and serve our God, and if you are a christian and on a CCSA team simply to play the game, and have no impact on someone else's life, tHen you mind as well join a community league bc CCSA is about bringing people "home". That's it's MAIN purpose. It's not to win a title, or only to have the most fun, but it's about saving lives. If a team wins the title, but doesn't save any lives, that means nothing. If a team loses every game, but wins ONE LIFE, they, in heaven are the real winners. And ultimately, that's the most important thing.

Yesterday we played the Miracles, and we were playing fine, but then it got rained out. I kinda wanted to play, but then it started showering a lot and i thought, "meh, we'll play when it's nicer, i'd rather not injure anyone on the team." So we called it off! But we're rescheduling. BUT, amazingly enough, our team hung out (a few of us again but that's better than none right?). We had some good times playing PS2! =) And btw boys, you'll never beat me!! =) I ruckussed you guys in DOA!! HAHAHAH! ;p heheeh! =) but thanks for coming over, i'm really glad you did and i hope that we will have a lot more fun times ahead of us! =)

ANyway, that's enough for the day! I hope you guys have a great day, and keep being Blessed by God, and keep focussing on Him! =) God Bless! I'm out!
