Speed Bowling
The last few days I have been on a retreat with Creative Ministries. I was a good retreat. A few things that I will not forget. Tim Cardascia giving us a clogging demonstration, Tim's editing of Napoleon Dynamite dancing to a Phredd Song, and Speed Bowling were among my unforgettable moments.
Last night we went bowling and trying to be a good sport(i stink at bowling) I worked at having a good time. So as the game progressed I realized that I was not going to win(I never had a chance), so i needed to make a new goal for myself. Well it just so happened that the computers at the Bowling Alley could measure the speed of the Bowling Ball as it rolled down the lane. So I decided it would be amusing to see how fast we could roll the balls down the alley. By the end of the game I had rolled the ball the fastest I could and cheered for fun at my accomplishment.
When the game was over I took my shoes back to the desk, but the guy who was behind the counter stopped me and told me to put my shoes back on. When I asked why, he said he heard me cheering over my fast ball and told me that he wanted to challenge me to a bowl off. So along with Chris Strayer (who also rolled some fast ones). We had a bowl off. At the end the bowling Alley dude came in first place bowling almost 25mph., I came in second with just under 22mph. and Chris came in third only due to the fact he couldn't keep his ball out of the gutter.
BTW-
Other than these things which all cracked me up, there was some good things that i learned in our sessions the one that has stuck with me was a quote, 'It is easier to try to be God than to serve God."
A very challenging word to me, I often try to control my life and my actions myself, I instead need to hand over control to Him. Something I will probably be working on till I die.

Good times...good times. I personally enjoyed the game of I Never and the board games we all played late at night. And I will be thinking about Pastor Tommy's message for a long time.
