| Youth soccer season starts today! | | My nine year old plays his first soccer game today. So far every year we have had great coaches which have made the game enjoyable. I know there's all kinds of coaches out there? Anybody have any stories to share? | |
| | What kind of sports??? | | Just wondering what kind sports if any do your kids play???My son and daughter play baseball which is going on right now. And they play soccer. My son tried football but didn't like it. He's a great 3rd baseman in baseball. Wants to grow up and play for the St. Louis Cardinals. | |
| | Soccer Parents | | My son plays soccer on several teams and he is also a REF, and it amazes me to see how the parents of these players act when I am watching a soccer game being ref'ed by my son.
I was talking to another parent who's son is on our team and the parent is also a Soccer REf and I mentioned the parents comments and are our parents on our team that bad?
We can only hope not. I have not seen the parents on our team act the way that these parents were acting for this one particular team that was playing over the weekend.
It got to the point that the Coach was warned and then ejected from the game.We all get excited and discouraged at calls being made, however since the people on the sidelines are not on the field and cant see what the REF sees I think they need to breathe a little. Yes calls are missed and whistles blow sometimes and yes there are bad calls, no one can say bad calls are not made.My photos of all of the games are at

| Target | | After reading this and finding out the Target stores will not allow the Salvation Army to stand outside their stores and ring thier bell during Christmas time simply because they feel "they do not need to support Christian organizations" I feel that I should not support Target any more. How do you feel about this?This was an email that a friend of my mother in law sent to me, she is the teacher....
As most of you know, our dear friend and hero, Captain Shawn English, died on December 3 serving our country in Iraq . He was an integral part of our classroom as we corresponded frequently with him and his MiTT team.
Most importantly, he was Nathan's(my student) dad. When he was home on leave just a few weeks ago, he came to our classroom and shared a slide-show with us. He showed many pictures of Iraq, the country, Sadaam's palaces, but mostly the children. He told us how they loved more than anything to play soccer. We decided that as a Christmas project, each child in our class would bring in a soccer ball and we would send them to Captain English in Iraq When he went out on missions, he and his guys could pass them out to
the Iraqi children. We were to mail them... | |

Although you can't single-handedly put an end to political strife or world hunger, you can still make a difference. Find out what small actions you can take to create a big impact.

From Reader's Digest
January 2005All the red-state, blue-state, I-hate-you-state nonsense can be a bit too much. So much of it is about blaming the other guy -- for the war in Iraq, for high taxes, for big deficits, for being soft on sin, whatever your definition of sin happens to be. Can we just try to move on? Because really, what this country needs is a little less finger-pointing and a lot more personal responsibility. In that spirit, Reader's Digest offers its list of New Year's resolutions for America. None of these will change the world, but they will help make it a better place to live.Give it up. If you're like most of us, your home is stuffed with stuff. We're asking you to give it away. Not all of it. Not even the best of it. But think of all the perfectly fine, maybe even unused items you have gathering dust. Think of the difference one of them could make to someone else.Michael Caswell did: A schoolboy soccer player in... | |
