THE TOP TEN THINGS I AM THINKING ON-SEPTEMBER 28, 2011

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS." Phil. 4:8

1. I think my quote of the week comes from Lou Holtz. He said, “A lifetime contract for a coach means if you're ahead in the third quarter and moving the ball, they can't fire you.”

2. I think we had a moving and motivating time of prayer in our chapels today. We participated in "See You At The Pole." It was awesome to see our students in "circles of communication" as they prayed for their school. What power can come to a community when there is unity about seeking God. For more information about this event, you may go to www.syatp.org.

3. I think there are several middle school cross country meets this fall that our school has opportunity to take part in. There is a sign up for the boys and girls team on my door. I would like to have knowledge by Friday who plans to participate. There is no athletic fee for this as there will be limited involvement.

4. I think the athletic department is looking to hire the following: middle school boys health teacher, middle school girls basketball coach and elementary cheer leading coach. If you or someone you know is interested, please email me at tpangle@countychristianschool.org.

5. I think I would ask prayer for Mrs. Skinner. Sadly, she broke her ankle on the middle school retreat and is having surgery this afternoon. I hope our faculty and families can minister to her during this time. She is one of those special teachers that gives to everyone. Now it is time for us to give to her.

6. I think in spite of the news I just shared with you about the retreat, good things did happen. The students had a fun time with Bible skits, paintball, obstacle course, Frisbee golf, flashlight tag and Catamount Clue. There was no Liberty versus Messiah horseshoes however. By the way, Ivan Chiew tried to knock some sense into me as he pelted me in the head with a great shot. I cannot wait for next year and to make sure I am on his team. He did color my grey hair purple.

7. I think for scores and schedules of our Catamount athletic events, please go to www.ccsathletics.org. Directions to the game locations are also available.

8.I think these are my "Touchdown Topics" for week three...
Game of the Week-Stone Bridge High School versus Broad Run High School
Team of the Week-Buffalo Bills
Player of the Week-Torrey Smith
Coach of the Week-Chan Gailey

9. I think I am slowly recovering from the Monday Misery. I still cannot believe we handed the Cowboys the win. How do we let them convert a 3rd and 21 with the game on the line? How does Grossman not throw the ball out of bounds? How do we let going 3-0 slip away?

10. I think the Redskins bounce back and get a win over the Rams this Sunday! My score prediction is 28-10.
