Bennett, entering 12th grade, participated in a soccer tournament hosted by Heritage Christian Academy in Kalamazoo.
We won the tournament!
Four teams each played 3 games. Our school's team played in the first game, beating the host team 2-1. Both our goals were from penalty kicks.
Our next game was at around 1:00 PM. Unfortunately, we lost that game 0-1.
Our third game, the final game of the tournament, started around 3:30 PM. The game ended tied at 0-0, so we had a penalty kick shootout. We won that 4-3. Very exciting, as it came down to the final shot of the shootout That game's win earned our team 1st place for the tournament.
Bennett played pretty well, getting some play time in each game.
The weather was very un-summerlike. Throughout the morning and part of the afternoon, it was mostly overcast, chilly, and damp, with occasional breezes. Midafternoon the sun came out and the clouds cleared.
Below is a slideshow of pictures I took. A large majority of the pictures feature Bennett. He is player #4. For those pictures of the penalty shootout, our goalie is the one wearing green shorts.
Stuff that happened, stuff that didn't really happen, and mildly amusing observations. The kind that make you smile to yourself or chuckle quietly, but not actually laugh out loud.
What does "Spike the Wave" mean? Nothing. Everything. Contention. Tranquility. It just is.

2008 Summer Olympics in China
I definitely hope all our athletes do well at the 2008 Summer Olympics being held in Beijing, China. And plan to do what I can to cheer them on, from my couch, where they can't hear me. And especially by watching as much of NBC's coverage as much as possible.
But on a more serious note, we also shouldn't forget the main abuses of human rights, especially including religious freedom, that communist China is guilty of.
