Facing the wall

As we lined up on the field I stared into the face of death...

Yes it was Lincoln's annual powderpuff football games. It was our first game and I had been playing center for offense and defense(I know there is another name for the defense but I forgot it.)

But lets take a flashback to a half an hour before the game. We gathered with our team and we were discussing a certain football player on the other team. I felt confident enough becuase I was center I wouldn't have to face her...

We line up to defend our turf and who is the center on the other side. The wall. Everytime I blocked her for the first couple times I would fly back two feet. Then she got mean. I would block her the first two times and then I would turn around, she would continue to block my back. If you don't know much about girls, they can play mean and nasty. I'll take a 300 pound man over a girl any day.

Iv'e played football since sixth grade with boys even and I have never felt the fear I felt that day. Everytime we bent down I prayed that God would forgive me of my sins becuase I never knew if this would be the last time. I survived barely and we won our first game.

We started our second game against another wing, I was shaking. The hits had taken a toll on my muscles...

Were playing in the championship today.
We'll see if any one breaks anything...

I got up this morning...actually I held on to my buck and pulled myself up. My whole right arm is completley bruised. I have never felt like that after a game.
Any close to death experiences?
