I was so close to finishing a book. Ce la vie.
It has been the usual whirlwind around here. School, work, church. Things should settle over the next few weeks. Classes are winding down; been working on final exams and finishing up the finer points of the semester. Work is extremely tense and I don't feel very appreciated, but who does? There are a lot of people's jobs on the line, so it is understandable that tensions would be high. Hopefully, we'll both be in better situations next year. Money is tight-as usual, but we are provided for-also as usual.
Softball is in full swing (ha, ha, ha), we're 0-2 but everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, and that is the most important thing. As coach, I think it is my highest responsibility for everyone to have fun. I've adopted the role of pitcher. Aaron is the best at it, but he also plays a much better shortstop. Brittany is having a blast and is responsible for one of our runs this year. She got a hit first game, and was jumping up and down with joy. That's why we play. Now, we have to find a way to have fun, and still win a game...
I'm having the best time running Star Wars, when I'm not focusing on the Mrs., work, school, softball, the baby, or my book, that's what I'm thinking of. Okay, now that I look at the list, I've got a lot on my plate. Anywho, tons of fun.
Blessings abound in our household, but we certainly have our share of concerns. For anyone praying out there, pray for Ellice's health. She's been plenty sick this weekend, including fever and severe chills. Also that God will continue to provide. Thanks everyone.
Forbidden Kingdom
Jackie Chan meets Jet Li? How could this one miss?
It doesn't. The beginning is a little weird as it starts in modern day, but once we get to the past, the movie takes on the epic quest I expected. The story is very much an old Chinese legend about the Monkey King. The cinematics deliver, taking on the air of a Wu Xia tale about immortals, magic weapons and powerful elixirs, with a major dose of Hong Kong Kung Fu action throughout. This movie delivers everything I wanted. It even holds to a traditional four-member adventuring party-the immortal, the monk, the lady warrior, and the young hero in training. Great stuff, I loved this movie ****

I love you too.. and the movie was fun.
Brad, you and your wife are in my prayers. Eventually, life will get back to this normal. It sounds like you both have a lot to deal with and a lot to be thankful for, and I pray that that will help with the healing process. Give Ellice a big hug for me and tell her I love her very much.
