I have a habit of picking up new hobbies. I like to think of myself as being well-rounded; Kim thinks I have too much junk cluttering up the garage storage area. Backpacking gear, climbing gear, caving gear, roller AND ice hockey gear, kayaking gear, baseball gear, golf clubs, hunting gear, sound equipment. I’ve dabbled in lots of interesting and wonderful adventures over the past 20 years. I’ve been in a southern gospel quartet, learned to play guitar, led innumerable outdoor excursions, and created some incredible memories.
Every once in a while I get the urge/nudge to weed out some of the equipment that I’ve accumulated, but I can’t seem to part with anything. I’m something of a packrat, but I just know that someday those 20 worn out hockey sticks will come in handy.
Yesterday our family went to visit our friend Sarah for her graduation party. Sarah is a remarkable young lady, and was one of the in the first 6th grade class that we had in our ministry at Calvary. We had a blast at her party. The kids all loved bouncing on the Nold’s trampoline! One of the unforeseen results of our visit?

That’s lacrosse, just in case you didn’t know.
Josh, Jake, and Andy had their lacrosse sticks out yesterday, and they graciously let my kids pick ’em up and start throwing balls at everyone. I’ve always wanted to try my hand at lacrosse, but never had the opportunity. We might be hooked.
Levi asked me to check out Centre Lacrosse. All 4 of my kids are interested in playing this summer. I think we might give it a shot. The gear is a little pricey, but it might be a fun sport for our kids to get into.
Do you have any used lax gear that you want to remove from your garage?
What hobby/sport were you involved in when you were younger? Do you still play? What activity from your childhood do you wish you could hang on to now that you’re all grown up?
