A Christian Woman Thinks (And It's Dangerous)

Taking The Gold

Start the music - Queen, ready, sing: "We are the champions, my friends...."

Taking the gold in both events she participated in on Saturday during her first tournament was my little blue with green stripe gal, Joy. She came in tops in forms (1 kata) and sparring.

Sharing in her glory is veteran karate guy Uncle Mark. Lots of other folks came out to witness the event: Aunt Elaine, mem & pep, and Uncle Mark's wife Lynda. Each person took credit for Joy's prowess in the ring: Aunt Elaine for Joy's speed; Uncle Mark for Joy's business-like punch; daddy for the total package.

Joy will also be testing for the next level on Saturday (green belt) - didn't she just get this new belt? She is on FIRE! We're very proud of her progress and dedication.

Just looking good on the sidelines was enough for sister Natalie....

everytime I hear that song, I think of a silly french version "nous sommes les champinons" which, if you know a bit of french sounds like a good translation, right?

except "champinon" = mushroom!

seriously, congrats to her! that is hard work!

Go Joy

My daughter does Tae Kwon Do, and I'm so proud when she does well. It's good to have such lessons for our children, teaching them to be strong. Body, heart, and mind. May she only ever need martial arts in the ring. The lessons apply to everywhere else in life, too, though. My daughters self esteem has improved so much since her working with it.

Peace

Raymond

Great Job Joy!
