<![CDATA[      I have started the worst part of volleyball... getting games for next year. This process is made more difficult because UIL will not come out with the class and district alignments until the second week in February. We might actually end up with another team in our district this next year. We were in a two team district in 2004 but the other school dropped volleyball for the 2005 season. It makes getting in the playoffs easy, but finding games hard.

<![CDATA[      Over the past few months I have begun to wonder about the path I have chosen for my life. I am a Christian and I know that all things work for the good of those that follow Christ, but the questions still arise. Is coaching my choice or God's will? I know that I would be a more effective teacher if I did not coach, but am I making a big enough difference in the lives of the players to justify my coaching career? Would the benefit to the classroom kids justify not coaching? Would I be a better husband if I did not cach? Would I be a better father if I did not coach? Would I be a batter Christian if I did not coach?

<![CDATA[    The school I work at is currently undergoing work on the roof. In front
    of the school are several, 5 foot tall, piles of rocks that will
    someday, hopefully soon, be put to use on top of the building. I took
    my children with me to the school to try and get some things done and
    my oldest child noticed that there was a man putting barrels on either
    side of the piles. Our conversation proceeded something like this:<br
    /><br />  "Dad, what is that guy doing with those barrels?"<br />  "He
    is putting the barrels around the rocks so that he can tie that yellow
    'caution' tape to them."<br />  "Why does he want to put 'caution' tape
    on them?"<br />  "So that people will see the tape and stop before they
    run into the rocks."<br />	After a 3 or 4 second pause... "Dad?"<br />
     "Yes, son?"<br />	"Won't the people see the ROCKS?"<br />  Another
    pause... "You know son, you're right. You would think the people could
    see the big pile of rocks before they could see the small tape."

<![CDATA[    Last night I talked to a Mission Friends teacher at our church about
    our middle child. She shared with me a story that I thought I should
    pass on.<br /><br />The teacher was talking to the class about how God
    made all the animals and plants. She gave each child a picture of a
    flower that they could color. My boy, being four years old, decided
    that he did not want to color that kind of picture. He told the teacher
    that he was not going to color because the picture was not cool. It
    didn't have Power Rangers. It didn't have Ninja Turtles. It wasn't
    cool. He wasn't going to color.

<![CDATA[      Last night Heather and I were getting our youngest ready for bed when I asked her if she wanted to go to sleep. She shook her and said "Bed, no." I then asked her if she wanted her mother to go to bed. She answered "Mama, bed, no." Trying to work some logic into the conversation I told her that it was time for someone to go to bed, so I asked her who she thought should go. She thought about the question for a second, saw her oldest brother playing in the corner, said "Ack, bed", laughed and tightly hugged her mother.

<![CDATA[    We are currently in the process of potty training Ethan. I went to pick
    him up yesterday and the sitter brought me a bag of Ethan's clothes. My
    first thought, which was obvious to her, was that he had an accident.
    She told me that he did not have an accident, and she told me the story
    about the bag...<br /><br /><br />Ethan was outside with the other kids
    in the backyard when he ran over to Stacie and told her that he needed
    to "tee-tee". She told him that she would take him inside, but he told
    her that he could tee-tee where he was and began to pull down his
    pants. She turned him away from the other kids so that they would not
    see what was happening. She turned to watch the other kids and then
    looked back to see Ethan squating in her yard. It was too late for her
    to stop him and he finished his business then proceeded to wipe his
    bottom with his shorts. This was what was in the bag that she gave me
    at the door.
