Why am I doing this?

To be honest I have no real idea why I have just created a blog. I don't really see that much a need for it. But whatev, its a done deal and I guess I'll just see how it works out, if I even ever remember I have it and post to it. But whatev.

So last night was the Potato Olympics for the jr. high group at my church. It was quite fun, the only lowlight for me was in the chip eating contest. The entire team had to eat a whole bag of sea salt and vinegar chips. About half way thru the bag I was feeling queasy and I couldn't eat anymore let alone the students who one boy was practically in tears from them. So I cheated. I dumped the rest in a box and kicked it under a table. We would've won had another staff on a different team not said anything. It ended up being a laugh even though we lost a 1000 points. But here's what I'm thinking: I am a horrible staff person (well not horrible, just a bit, well, I don't know but not horrible) because I exampled for this group of students being ultra competitive and a bad sport to the point of cheating! This is why I usually choose not to play in the games because this always happens. I think last night I realized how much I need to work on this and remembering that I am an example for these students and not getting so caught up in what they are doing. An interesting balance, being competitve with them and still remaining a respectable authority.

Our team came in last place of course...
