Super Toilet Bowl and the Super Bowl

Yesterday, February 1, 2009, was the second competition The Way likes to call, "The Super Toilet Bowl.? Two teams of six players on each competed in this amazing game, a game that combines some of the characteristics of basketball, football, total randomness, and a bedside toilet bowl. Final score, Team: Kids in the Way 9 and team Toby Mac 7. One frustrating part of the game for the players was that every few minutes the teams were switched around, so no one really got to accept the win. Well, one player, Copper, says that she never was never taken off of the winning team, no one is sure if this can be verified or not. A good time was had by all. "This is a great game" said Aaron Devos, the opening quarterback of Kids in the Way. This was actually one time that I did not hear any complaining about the game that we were playing. This does not happen very often, all the teens getting along, playing one game together.

On the evening of February 1, 2009 there was Super Bowl XLIII the Arizona Cardinals versus the Pittsburg Steelers. What an awesome game! Full of ups and downs some great defense in the red zone from both teams. On the Cardinals side, they found a way to stop the Steelers every time they made it close to the end-zone. On Pittsburg?s side, they caught an interception and were able to run it back for a 100 yard interception touchdown. Wow! That was awesome. I was rooting for the Steelers all the way. Technically I had stock in either team since I am a big Colts fan. Arizona?s Edgerrin James used to be the running back for the Colts and Pittsburg?s Mike Tomlin used to coach with Tony Dungy down in Tampa Bay. So, I could have gone either way their, but I went for the Steelers, because I think friends should stick together, and one of my very best friends is a Steelers fan in Ravens country. There you go, I was yelling and shouting for the black and gold ? all the way baby!!!!! I was getting a little nervous there towards the end. 2:45 left on the clock and Arizona was on top. Steelers got down to the one yard line and I still was nervous because they had not done well in the red zone. Then they made it, they showed the clip of the catch about 30 times trying to see if he got both toes down in bounds. He did! Steelers over Cardinals, 27-23, wow, I was yelling and jumping all over the place ? my throat was toast! First thing I had to do? Call my friend! He was pretty excited. This was the Steelers? sixth Super Bowl win. Friends need to stick together, not matter what.

Favorite commercial of the evening you ask? There was this one for Doritos where the guy was with his friend telling him about his magic snow globe or whatever. Then he asked the snow globe if there would be free Doritos in the office today, then throws it at a vending machine, breaking the glass. Then they showed his friend asking the snow globe if he would get a promotion and he threw it and it hit his boss in the groin. Hilarious, but not a good example of friends sticking together he kind of let his friend down.

What is the point? Stick together. Be strong. Get out there and make friendships that will last a lifetime. We really need those friends. You really need friends. If you are part of the way and reading this, I hope you see that you have a group of friends with you several times a week at BCC. If you are not part of The Way, you should come and join that group of friends. We would love to have you.

Well, you read it . . .
