From Concerts to Competition


This week’s highlights included the Needtobreathe concert at the Norva in Norfolk and the Chapel’s Wiffle Ball World Series.

The Norva was a cool place. It’s really too bad the only pictures I have from the event were taken in the car or are blurry because we were walking. And Needtobreathe turned out to be great! I had only heard a few of their songs, but the concert was awesome. Parachute opened for them and they were great too. And, as most great nights do, the whole evening ended with Waffle House. We went to the concert with friends from Williamsburg—it was great to spend more time with them!

The next day we all woke up and went to the Wiffle Ball World Series! Just a disclaimer: this is not actually a world-wide event. I was actually asked that last week. It’s for my church. Every small group picks a team name and makes outfits, then competes in a wiffle ball tournament.

My girls decided to be the “Freshmen Fairies” but made a play on words and half of the girls were “fairies” and half were “ferries.” The fairies wore wings and the ferries wore cardboard boats and sailor hats. Our shirts said the definitions of both words and it was a really cute idea. Turns out, some people haven’t merged the vowel in the words “fairy” and “ferry,” so the two words are different to them! So crazy! Linguistics humor will never get old… Andrew’s team was the ‘Burg Tropics again this year. I think this picture pretty much sums up our enthusiasm for youth ministry.  Disclaimer: taken at the end of the day.
