...Just once more...


So I've picked up the sport or activity disc golf. I never knew such a thing existed until my internship in Eau Claire, WI; which lead me to countless games and experiences with my friends and cousins. After the internship I returned to school and decided to buy some disc of my own at play it again store. It is great place for beginners with great prices for sports wears and gears. I got some discs and called up my friend Chao for a few rounds. We both knew that our school had a course, but we were noobies for sure. WE had no directions of the holes and tee off sections. Of course we did not play by ourselves; we decided to invite some of our friends to come along.

When we all got to the course, we met Robin and his friend playing already. We asked him if he did not mind, to show us the course and he did. We played two rounds total and I ended with a +0 the first round, and then +2 on the last. Sighs...this course was so difficult to play on. The thick trees, creeks, hills, and shining sun made it challenge for such a noob like me. I knew that this new sport or activity was going to bring great time for the guys to chat and bond. What I did not know was that it was going to be an addiction.

Days after our first game together, I set out for a practice round all by myself. I made a few birdies and pars. I was really proud of myself and wanted to play with the guys. Moments later, a friend off mine called and said he wanted to play a round. A round went to two, then to three. I told the guys I had to go and that it was getting late. The sunset was cast out it in the open and the sky was being painted with purple. Sighs, what a beautiful painting.

Sometimes we don't admit to our addictions, sins, and faults. We all need to admit to it and correct our self before it is too late. Too late that many lies have covered it up. Too late that we lost trust, love ones, and our self image. The bible teaches many things and rebukes many. People have studied the bible for many years. lets look at it this way for once, instead of studying it...live by it, speak God's words, breath His truth, think of His thoughts, and thirst for it. I still have a hard time doing this, but I will not grow if I have no one to share it with. Just once more.
