We’ll be rooting for the “hippies” and the “nerds”.

Who are YOU rooting for?

Walk The Line

Walk the Line came out on DVD today.

This Sheets family grabbed one of the first copies available at Wal-Mart!

Our “extended version” includes some great goodies!

The closing ceremonies of the 20th Winter Olympic Games were absolutely incredible. If you missed them, shame on you. Actually, I can understand missing them – I wouldn’t have even known they were happening except for a phone call from my mother this afternoon! I watched more Olympics tonight than in the entire 17-days they were happening.

Seriously though – the “skydivers” were the coolest part! Dad and Sherilyn and I each did the “indoor version” of skydiving in Gatlinburg, TN when I was still in High School! We never did anything as cool as what these guys did tonight, but we still experienced a bit of what they did!

Also – I’m pretty sure the Cirque Du Soleil is going to have a BIG part in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancoover, Canada as per what looked like a Cirque Du Soleil “preview” tonight!

Today I finished (after only 2-days of reading!) the Chuck Norris autobiography, “Against All Odds”.

To be honest, I picked this book up more as a joke than as a “I’m going to read this”, but as soon as I read the first few chapters, I knew I had to finish it!

Seriously, who DOESN’T want to know the real-life story of Mr. Chuck Norris?!

The book shows Norris’ strengths and weaknesses (weaknesses?) as he talks of his life-path. He admits sins and faults and also promotes family, the Christian Faith and pride in our Country.

I learned a lot reading this book about the man and his commitment to his family and his commitment to Christ!

Can anyone help me fulfill a life-long dream to meet Mr. Norris?


Tonight, the Young Adult class surprised us with a Baby Shower! (I actually knew about it for about a month and a half and had to keep it a secret from my wifey – thanks to my friend Gabe Ritter!)

It was an amazing evening! It was mostly a book-shower but we also received some bibs, a few “toiletries”, as well as some rubber gloves, a pair of safety glasses, and some face-masks for me and my diaper-changing duties! Oh dear.

We stayed at the French’s home for almost 5-hours enjoying the fellowship and stories!

We are blessed to have such friends!
