Fathers Day in Ellijay

Got a lot done this weekend. Friday night Ceil ate somewhere in Roswell with her friends. The kids watched Disney, and I finished my second Joel Rosenberg book.

Saturday Ceil and Anna went to Margaret’s baby shower. I got a lot done around the house, cleaning gutters and utility closets.

After the Sunday 9 am service we drove up to see Will, and ate at the Fatz Café in Jasper. Later he showed us around his camp. He said in the first two weeks only three kids had gone to the hospital.

We left the camp and drove straight to Passion City Church. Arrived just five minutes before it started. Anna didn’t want to go. Chris Tomlin was there, but only said the offertory prayer. Brett Yonker led the singing. Stanfill and Nockles were also gone. Christian was there. I think a couple of girls brought him.

Went home and watched Miss Congeniality. Mom likes Sandra Bullock, so she loved it, and didn’t say anything about the questionable parts.

Matthew wrote his baptism speech. Not bad.

The Braves released Joe Mather, because he was hitting .071. They brought up Wilken Rameriz, who they got from the Tigers last winter. His Gwinnett numbers weren’t too good. McLouth returned and reached base twice. Played LF…Prado is still on the DL.

This weekend Heyward made two bad plays. First he let a worm-burner roll under his glove. Then with a runner on 1st he topped a little 2-out grounder the third-baseman charged. When he saw the throw go to 2nd, Heyward slowed up. But the throw was off the base, so the only play the second-baseman had was to throw to first. Made Heyward look bad. Freddie told him to not assume anything.

Read a Sports Illustrated article on baseball’s hottest pitch, the cutter. Some pitchers can learn it easily, but not everyone. The article shows how to throw it, so I printed it out for Will.

Interesting day on AJC.com. As Will was telling us about rafting the Ocoee, a 16 year old died there Sunday…the second drowning this month. The Hurts are down near Seaside, serving at that Rally place. A South Georgia girl was killed down there.
