There is no other place I could see to put this and it will be forgotten about soon anyway and bubble down the list. 


Over on the PB we post about family stuff all the time but not so much here.

My youngest grandson, he's 17, has played soccer for years now. He plays club level soccer in a regional league and for his three years in HS has played varsity soccer.  In his Freshman year his team advanced in the state playoffs for class 6A to the semifinal round before losing. In his Sophomore year they advanced to the final but lost 3-2 in OT.  In that game they had to play the last 16 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of OT a man down.

Now as a Junior the team started off the year with a 16 game win streak. They were undefeated in region play (6-0) and lost their last game before the playoffs started 1-0 to a 7A team used as a tuneup to the playoffs. Once they were scored on the coach subbed in the second and third strings to get them playing time.

The playoffs consist of five games starting with a 32 team field, four team from each of eight regions, played over a three week period.  Last night was the championship game between my grandson's team and the HS that both of my sons attended. Out of the whole state, these two schools are less than nine miles apart.  As an aside the other finalist last year was only seven mile away. 


Due to their record and a GHSA coin toss the boys got home field advantage thru the first four games, the final being played a neutral field.  The boys were also considered the home team for the final game. The game got off to a rough start. In the early part of the game my grandson was issued a yellow card that resulted in the other team getting a penalty kick.  He also had to sit out two minutes before returning to play. He plays the center back position.  About halfway into the first half, 40 minute halves, our keeper was assessed a red card when he stopped a shot, had the ball in his possession and then fell on an opposing player. It was claimed that he kneed that player in the ribs or some such.  With him ejected, the backup keeper, a freshman, entered the game and we had to play the rest of the game a man down.


As horrible as that sounds, our boy played a whale of a game and shut them out 3-0 to become the 6A State Soccer Champions.  In the their five playoff games they only allowed three goals, shutting out their last two opponents. The most goals they gave up in their twenty-two games this season was two.  Final record for the year was 21-1, an impressive season for sure.

They also finished nationally as #1 for Spring soccer.

That’s what republicans do.  They’ve never learned to fight back.

Makes me wonder if they are just satisfied to play second fiddle and cash in.

For years now there has been a struggle in the United Methodist Church to keep it traditional.  Slowly but surely the Liberals have moved in.  In our District in Georgia the Bishop, a gay female, suspended a churches ability to disaffiliate from the United Methodists.  Over 170 churches filed suit and won the ability to do so.  Last year, our church voted, heavily, in favor of disaffiliating. We then joined the Global Methodist Church and have recently merged with a smaller, older congregation that had, earlier, disaffiliated and also joined the GMC. 


The UMC recently held their general conference and the woke now control things. This website runs down the changes to the Book of Discipline codified at the general conference.  Our pastor had always told us he would never marry a same sex couple, now the UMC encourages same sex marriage as well as abortion.

The left is at work runing even religion.

Not to mention they actually reproduce while do not.

Was down there to do some night work with my boss and another gentleman. It was for the cable company and had to be done in the middle of the night.  I was going to be in the cable headend while the other two were going out in the field.  The Cox Cable employee told the two they should carry a drop wallet, an empty wallet with a few dollars in it that they could drop and run if confronted.

The renewing of 702 will now give the DOJ authority to spy on us and go after any Conservative backing Trump. Better watch what you say and post.

I interrupt this thread for some meaningless wokeness.  We went to my grandson's soccer game last night, state playoffs quarter final, and noticed a banner at the entrance to the school that appeared to announce the school play. My wife could make out the first two words but not th third word.  She told me it said 12 Angry "something".  Well, of course it seems Men would ne appropriate as we are, likely, all familiar with that tile. My youngest son, father of this grandson actually had the lead in that play at a local theater group.  Too many letter though. when the light turned and we drove past, it became clear to me that last word was "Jurists", 12 Angry Jurists, brought to you by 21st century wokism.
