Skateboard Bowling & the ER

Our youth group had a great event last night…”I Can’t Believe I Just Did That”  They had a blast playing all kinds of outrageous games…including skateboard bowling.  My son in his attempt to knock down all the pins (which he did) ended up ramming his head into the bleachers at a pretty good speed.   He blacked out for a few moments, so when he got home and we checked in with the doctor, they insisted on a visit to the ER.  My wife insisted she go because I needed my rest for Sunday morning.  It was hard to rest knowing they were at the ER.  I got about 3 hours of sleep.  They left home at 11:30 pm and rolled back in at 5:15 am.  Thank God he only has a sore jaw and neck, but no serious damage.   Sherri and Zac missed church for the first time in a long time.  Zac is our “chair guy” for set up and tear down, so he was definitely missed this morning.  I got through my preaching part on little sleep.  An exhausting 24 hours…

The funny part (since he is ok) is that my wife took the video clip of the incident to the ER and showed the doctor which he got a real kick out of…he reminded her of a character on Scrubs.  He thought the activity was hilarious, but that Zac and his friends should be more careful.  Then she had to explain that this was a church sponsored event
