Graduation, Golf, and Grilling

Man, I'm getting pathetic at updating my blog. It's been a full weekend and holiday. I spent the weekend going to several graduation parties. Congrats go out to the following grads:

Andy McConnell, Grace Christian Academy
Tiffany Black, Nampa High School
Jaron Crane, Nampa Christian High School
Justin Aman, Melba High School
Justin Gilbert, Timberline High School
Jeremiah Mitchell, Eagle High School
Levi Riggs, Greenleaf Christian Academy
Eli Harbin, Greenleaf Christian Academy

I hope you all had a great Sunday. Liberty had the weekend off, so it was nice to be at our home church (Grace Bible Church). Dr. Keaton, as usual, preached two masterpiece sermons (or should that be two sermon masterpieces? it's too late). Incredible! On Saturday, several of the young adults from the church passed out roses to homes in our neighborhood. There were several who just couldn't grasp the fact that all we wanted to do was give them a rose. One guy kept on trying to give me money. I finally convinced him that the rose was simply a gift, no strings attached. It's amazing how something so simple can have such a profound effect. Lori gave a rose to a woman who teared up and said that she needed it at that exact moment. Pretty cool.

On Memorial Day I played in a best ball golf tournament with a bunch of guys from Grace. Until my game improves I'm only doing best ball golf. Our team broke even. We shot 3 over on the front nine, 3 under on the last nine. Our time spent of the time laughing. We had 3 rookies in our group (Dustin, Terry, and myself). Now, Terry is actually pretty good. It was Dustin's first time to ever play, my 3rd. I did really good with the irons. My drives, on the other hand, were pathetic. At one point, Marc and Doran were on the ground laughing at my feeble attempts. I did have enough good shots, though, to catch the fever. I am now committed to practicing teeing off. My goal is not to be good. I just want to play without embarrassing myself. The great thing was that the team with all the pros only beat us by 3 strokes.

We then headed to the home of our friends, John and Shawna Mullins, for a barbeque (cooking out for those in the Midwest). I'll have some pictures up soon of our day. Trey rode a four-wheeler and a dirt bike for the first time. I also took Kassady for a ride on the 4-wheeler. She was not impressed.

This morning and afternoon, we finished the vocals for our new recording. It should be out next month.

Thanks for the suggestions for the contest and keep them coming. I want something good.
