Ugly is Ugly. . .No Matter How You Put It

My friend Grant is the uniform czar. He has a keen eye for great looking uniforms and really, really sad unis. I have my favorites and my no-so-favorites - like the unis of the Oregon Ducks (what's with that stupid looking design on their shoulder pads?). See what I mean.

Caught some of last night's battle between Louisville and West Virginia. Before I say anything, I just need to ask - What the crap was West Virginia wearing last night? They looked like they could double as safety uniforms for DOT workers on the night shift. Man, they were bright. Who comes up with this stuff? Maybe I'm just partial to their more traditional darker/white/gold trim uniforms. I don't know. I just hope they never wear these again. I'm not sure I could watch an entire game of them in the all yellow, at least not without sunglasses.

In case you missed it, here's what they looked like.

This is QB Pat White making a beautiful run in the 4th quarter to cinch the game for the Mountaineers. You could definitely see him on the field.

they were hideous. Oregon's are much worse.

However there were a couple of redeeming things about the uni's.

First, the entire stadium was in yellow. That looked cool.

Second - they didn't try to get cute with it - they went yellow all the way. No blue pants/white pants, black shoes crap. Just yellow.

They still were fairly ugly but...the mitigated the ugliness as best they could.

Speaking of UGLY, the Steelers uniforms they wore on Monday night football was worse than the WV uniforms.

Daniel - the only credit I give the Steelers is that they are wearing throw-back unis.

The steelers are celebrating 75 years as a team and that's a long stinkin' time!!

I appreciate the the throw-back stuff as long as they don't use them often.

Then again, I'm kinda a throw-back guy.

Camp is Good!

I'm home from a week at a student camp - Camp Chaparral . I was there teaching students how God created them for a place of ministry and encouraging them to involved - somehow. . .somewhere. I was also the guest of Pam & Steve Sparks. They are wonderful friends from my Lufkin days. Steve is the Assistant Director of the camp. Better give a shout out to the staff - Hey Mike, David, Heather, Doug, Tim, Nate, Govani (spelling?) - thanks for a great week. These guys work really, really hard to make your camp stay the greatest. And it was. But I'm exhausted! I'm beginning to wonder if I'm getting too old for this kind of thing? The worship was great - thanks to the brown band ! Hey Michell, Gabi, Rooster, Noah, and #14. They'll get it. Jon Randles really challenged us with his messages - 7 Marks of a Disciple . Need a speaker that speaks truth with wisdom? Get Randles. College or students. He's good. But the late nights and early mornings - WHEW!! ...

Question for You

I was listening to one of the local radio stations - kwyq, The Way FM, this morning on the way to the office. They were asking the question, "If you could live in a totally Christian community would you?" Responses varied. I would be interested in knowing what you think. So. . .I pose the question to you. . . If you could live in a totally Christian community would you? Why or why not? I can't wait to read your responses. Mike

Yesterday was the Day

Yeah, ok, so it the title should read Today is the Day! But I was busy last night so I didn't get a chance to post. So. . .it's Yesterday was the Day . " The day for what? ", you may be asking yourself. Mmmmmmm. . . If you've been tracking things here at Soakin' Up Life you know that I haven't been soakin' up very much lately because I've been so worn out. Well. . .last week the guys I meet with each week for Bible study jumped my case about not working out, running, cycling, or SOMETHING! Then, when got home yesterday a friend of mine TOLD me to get on my bike and hit the road - not suggest, told me to head out the door! I took their advice. I hung up the phone, changed clothes, grabbed my bike and headed out the door for a 20-mile ride. What a difference 20 miles makes. The first 5-10 miles about beat me up, then I got in the groove and started pedaling and looking for places to ride. I've been scared to ride on the roads arou...
