Ooo...Joanie loves Chachi!

This weekend was pretty crazy; and I must apologize that I don't really have anything truly profound lately. 

However, I did pwn on some middle school kids in dodgeball. That's right, it was straight Billy Madison style. A bunch of leaders chaperoned a middle school lock-in at the church that many leaders in Columbus attend, Heritage Christian Church in Westerville. There were about 260 or so of the little buggers running around like crazy and it truly was crazy and chaos and really just us walking around with our heads on a swivel so that we didn't get run over. 

But the highlight of the night for me really was when the volunteers played the two teams who made the championship, and it was crazy. Tons of people on the court, tons of dodgeballs flying through the air, tons of kids going down on the other end of zinging throws. Somehow I ended up being the last man standing, not only on my own team of volunteers but also overall. Granted it was dominating middle school kids, but let's be serious, the volunteers had no choice BUT to win. And why shouldn't one of the oldest be the one to carry the flag? 

Saturday was a great day because it saw Chris Welter get married. It was a great ceremony, a wicked fun reception filled with great dancing and amazing food, and just an overall incredible time with friends. It was truly great to see how happy Chris was on this day. I wish everyone could know Welter at all, because he truly is alive and the aroma of Christ is think around him. He somehow remembers all sorts of things about you and what's going on in your life, and really makes you feel valued, never missing an opportunity to do so. I had the opportunity to have some great conversations with old friends and really catch up with some folks as to what God has been doing in their lives. 

So this is a bit late of a recap from this weekend, and I have more to write concerning things that have happened since then; but I shall save that for later tomorrow.
