[Written from my Treo]

I’m @ Carowinds with our students by the wavepool. A short while ago the Life guards made everyone get out because of a “Code 10-7″. I joked it was probably a “Caddyshack” moment! Now there was no Baby Ruth but there was the “real thing.” I couldn’t make this up.

The onlything missing is a scuba diver. One brave Life Guard went out & skimmed “it” up with a cup. People ask me where I get some of my stories-LIFE! You gotta love it!

BTW: I’m done swimming today.

[Update] you won’t believe this-they shocked the pool & let people back in only to have another Code 10-7! I have pictures for when I get home!

Here is the Lifeguard skimming the wave pool.

Many of you may have missed my American Idol audition  so I have  included it here for your enjoyment.

Here is the guy who tried to steal my song:

His Yuletide extravaganza had so annoyed them that, after enduring 18 years of his yo-ho-ho antics, they could take no more and protested to the council and police about the disruption it caused to their lives when coachloads of visitors turned up to admire it.

They complained their lives were being made a misery by people shouting, and that petty crime in the road had soared because of the influx of visitors.

Some even claimed they were forced to take sleeping pills to blank out the disturbances.

As a result, Mr Moszczynski, whose lights have raised £55,000 for charity, had a court injunction served on him last year forcing him to scale down his decorations to 300 lights, four 7ft tall inflatable cartoon characters, eight 30-ft strips of rope lighting and two light moulds in the ground in his front garden.

A Christian student group’s latest attempt to show middle school students how fun the group could be was too much for school administrators to swallow.

Last week the Campus Life group allowed students to bob for live goldfish. Two students and one Campus Life volunteer swallowed fish. No student was harmed or forced to participate, but some parents complained, and district officials weren’t pleased.

“We just felt like that type of action was distracting to the students and interfered with the learning process,” Virgil Horne, assistant to the superintendent, told the Lincoln Journal Star.

So Campus Life will be allowed to meet only at Lincoln’s Scott Middle School one more time this school year. The group’s executive director, Bryan Carlson, said he would tell students the news at Wednesday’s meeting.

PLEASE! I grew up in Campus Life–literally. Campus Life is the student ministry of Youth for Christ. My father was a Campus Life Director for over 30 years in Kansas City, Iowa, Indiana, Alabama and South Carolina. Bobbing for a goldfish is tame compared to some of the things we did when I was in Campus Life.

What does the school district want? Kids selling pot, having illicit sex, having babies out of wedlock, crime, etc…? Campus Life, Young Life, Youth Dynamics and other groups like it are making a difference in kids who don’t go to church. I have seen thousands of students lives changed by the ministry of YFC/Campus Life. This school board needs to get a clue.

What do you think?
