Remember when I told you I was joining a Fantasy Football League with the MercyMe guys and several of the people that work with them?  Well we were set up on an auto-draft, and the draft happened last night and I have no idea what happened.

Conveniently somehow, Bart’s team was the team to get first pick in the first round, so I’m pretty sure he might have gotten some good players.  I was last in the first round, but that meant I was first in the second round.  I’m pretty glad we did an auto-draft thing because I was a little intimidated by the fact that I didn’t have any idea who to pick for my team.  So anyway, I have my team now, and I’ve never heard any of their names before and most of them have a minus (-) next to their name in the stats.  Not sure if that’s too good.  The picture up there represents my “Team Logo”, and I’m hoping that intimidation will play a factor.

So here’s my team.  Team, Bad At Names.  All you football people out there chime in and let me know if I have a chance or if I should just give up any hope of whooping on Bart.  What do you think?

We’ve had TobyMac’s albums for a while now.  The boys love them, and for high energy music it’s good to have something playing in the car that isn’t cussing every other word or talking about all sorts of sexual escapades.  

Parents, you get it.  Non-parents that think that your musical tastes don’t have to change when you have kids, just wait until your three year old utters his first chorus, and lets out a string of obscenities that you never even realized were in that song you’ve been singing for years.

Recently we picked up Toby’s new DVD and the boys like to watch it and jump around like they are on stage playing their guitar hero guitar and working on their head spins.  Tonight instead of book time before bed the boys asked if we could watch the Toby DVD.  Since mom was going out, I thought it would be fine so even now, as I am typing this the boys are singing along.

Here’s the funny part.  Even though we have had the records for a while now, I heard a part of a song that I had never heard before that literally had me stop and look up the lyrics online.  It’s from a song call “Yours”.  Here’s how the second verse goes.

Simple minded little punk
Thought I was the junk
Nobody ever told me that my doo-doo stunk
What was I out of my mind
Or was I just trippin’ on an ego
But You filled up the space and You never let me go

I’d like to take this moment to officially here on “…in case you were wondering.” let Toby, and everyone else reading, know that though I can’t confirm one hundred percent, I’m willing to go out on a limb and possibly be the first to proclaim publicly that Toby’s “doo-doo” in fact does stink.  There it is people.  Yes, I went there.  Toby’s doo-doo stinks.  

Normally I follow up my post with a question, but I think I will leave this one alone.
