Remember all of that umpiring I was supposed to be doing this week? Turns out I've only gotten to do it once. I was supposed to go to a sports banquet on Wednesday that one of the softball coaches invited me to, but that got rained out so it was moved to Thursday. Then, since it was moved to Thursday, I had to cancel my Thursday game. After I got home from the banquet, I got a voicemail saying that my Friday game had also been cancelled. I was also pulled off my Saturday game for some unknown reason. Fannnnntastic.
The sports banquet was pretty entertaining though. I'm always a fan of free food, and I got to go on The Blob for the first time. My friend Julian, who outweighs me by 30-40 pounds, did the honors. I landed flat on my back and it was quite painful, I must say. The awards ceremony began after we ate, and I was thanked for announcing in a very memorable fashion. Coach thanked me both for announcing and "providing additional entertainment." Feel free to insert your own joke here. After everyone began laughing because he essentially said I was a stripper, he was like "no, he just turned the music up and down." So if you're scoring at home, my thanks for three years of announcing was a stripper joke and a minimization. Good thing my reason for announcing wasn't recognition, because if it was I probably wouldn't find this nearly as funny.
Lastly, I was wondering if there was something you folks could help me with. I don't do this often, but I was wondering if you guys could pray for me. I always thought that God would always have something more important to do than to deal with me, and I still do believe that to an extent. I'm not starving or near-death or anything, so at times I would feel like a jerk for asking God for something or asking others to ask God to help me. However, I've been dealing with a personal problem for quite some time and I feel like I'm going to need help to get through it because it affects me every day. Thanks so much
Good day to you all,
