We had our draft last night for our Fantasy Football League. The NFL starts today with Washington vs. New York Giants so it was perfect timing. We start two QBs in our league and they are pretty highly valued. Here’s my team:
QB - Drew Brees
QB - Derek Anderson
RB - Brian Westbrook
RB - Willis McGahee
WR - Chris Chambers
WR - Santonio Holmes
WR - Hines Ward
TE - Alge Crumpler
K - Jason Elam
Def - San Diego
Bench - Jonathon Stewart RB
Bench - Rashard Mendenhall RB
Bench - Tarvaris Jackson QB
Bench - Muhsin Muhammad WR
Bench - Devin Hester WR
Bench - Darrell Jackson WR
Bench - Marcedes Lewis TE

I play Matt Doan in Week 1. I’m looking forward to it because it’s always helpful to start the season with an easy win to get things going strong. By the way, in our league with 2 QBs starting he only has JP Losman and Jim Sorgi. Neither is a starting QB in the NFL. Hilarious. I look forward to the win.

What do you think of my team? Do you care? Do you play fantasy sports?

    I like that you picked the Charger’s D and Drew Brees at QB. Doan’s a funny guy.

    In general, I think fantasy sports are one step removed from fantasy role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. It’s like the socially acceptable thing for guys to participate in and satisfy their inner geek.

    These comments are classic. Trevor - you are right. It is a bit like D&D although I never did that because only evil satan worshipers would have played that game.

    Arms - how many teams in your league? We have 12.

Renew the Wall

Today we as a church are going down to Cabrillo Park again to help with some renewal and restoration. We are in the middle of a series on Nehemiah and the city of Santa Ana wanted us to help fix and paint the wall surrounding the park. Crazy, huh? And awesome. I love that we have [...]

Am I 100% Outrageous?

Check Biola’s webpage at www.biola.edu and you will see a picture of myself and Matt Davis with our crazy green hair for VBS. If you click on the picture there is a full, professional video of me and Matt and Calvary’s VBS. It’s pretty sweet. You might even see Victor’s mug on the video if [...]

Day Away

I will post some pictures later, but we took the whole staff on these cool buses called “Cruisers” for a day away from the office. The cruisers look like old woodies with surfboards on the top and everything. We took them to the Preview Park of the OC Great Park at the old marine base [...]

Staff Day Away

We have our next staff day away today. We have done a couple Pastoral Staff Days and we have done some All Staff Prayer and Lunch times, but today is our first All Staff Day Away. I’m looking forward to it. It will have a high dose of fun, a healthy dose of food, a [...]

Life

But…

My desk is a mess, but I feel totally organized. My finances are really tight and I want to trust God, but I get nervous about things more than I used to. My schedule is busy, but I am fighting for my family time. My friends are important to me, but I feel like I never see half [...]

Update

I preached today on Nehemiah 2 and I feel like it went well. We mixed it up and had the sermon right after the first song. It was kind of cool for me to get up right at the beginning like that. Then we got our iPhones today which was pretty cool too. I love it [...]

Blogging

Oh blog, why do I not care about you anymore? I used to care for you so deeply and now I don’t ever want to type on you. I wish I did. I want to love you but I just don’t. Will I love you again? Maybe. For now, I think we just need to [...]

One Hit Oneders

If you don’t know already, I am playing on a softball team we call the One Hit Oneders. It’s a fitting name since we are 0-3. But I love it. It’s so much fun. I wish I could play three nights a week. Once just isn’t enough. The first two games we were “Mercy-Ruled” which [...]

The Gospel of Stuff

I got this video from Ryan’s blog, but I thought it was so powerful I thought I would share the “wealth” with you. You must watch it. It’s intense and will touch your heart.
