Fun names, fun games, fun but lame joke

So our team had two practices this week. We decided to have a pre-practice as well. It was on Wednesday night, and it was fun because Tim and I got to have a chance to be the coach. Dave said he saw really maturity in us for doing that. This pre-practice did help. I saw how much it helped the next day at practice. Rookies were buzzing in like mad. They were beating in both Tim and I. It was scary and good at the same time. Now all we need to do is make sure they get them right when they buzz in. But with them buzzing the way they are buzzing, it'll be easy to get team bonus, which we need.

Our team also decided to get shirts for the tournaments. They are cerulean blue (sorry Mike, not pink). We also chose to be cool like the Ohio teams and have a phrase, sentance or verse from the material on the back of our shirts, kind of like a team name. It was up to the team to decide a good verse to put on our shirts. While all the team was thinking of good ones, I was thinking up things that were goofy or crazy. Here's what I decided were the top ten not to name your team:

  1. Breathing out muderous threats (Acts 9:1)
  2. Giving approval to death (Acts 8:1)
  3. Knew nothing (Acts 7:18)
  4. Looked Straight (Acts 3:4)
  5. Alkeldama / "Field of Blood" (Acts 1:19)
  6. Pregnant women and nursing mothers (Luke 21:23)
  7. Two women grinding together (Luke 17:35)
  8. Vehemently accusing (Luke 23:20)
  9. Faces downcast (Luke 24:17)
  10. The exalted humble (Luke 18:14)

Yeah, none of those made it. Wonder why? What we did decide on was one I actually thought up. It's Luke 19:40- "If they keep quiet, then the stones will cry out!" It's so good because that does describe Spring City. I can imagine us cheering wildly and someone thinking, "I wish Spring City would be quiet" and then we stand up and they read the rest of the shirt and goes "Oh." But it doesn't matter what we are wearing, but rather how we do
