Paintball: The Competitor's Choice



If there is any thing I love, it is competitive sports. The sheer excitement of beating my opponent keeps me involved in any event. I guess that is why I recently was drawn to the paintball sport.
Today, we gathered a group of Life Pointe members, camouflage gear, Co2, and several buckets of paintballs, and we were off to the woods.
There are many different games that can be played (e.g. capture the flag, elimination, etc.). , today we chose elimination.
We moved tactfully through the woods to catch and shoot our opponents before they could shoot us. It was much like the game we played as children call "hide and seek." Some would hide, others would advance.
The worst thing is thinking you are safe behind some palmetto bushes, and hearing a fully automatic gun followed by pain to your back.
Our team won one game out of four games. Not bad for amateurs!

That's Amore' at Life Pointe






Dean Martin's classic song "That's Amore" set the atmosphere for a great time of love, laughs, and friendship at Life Pointe’s first Valentines Banquet Saturday night.
Although Life Pointe has only been around for a short time, it did not hinder the crowd of people that flooded the doors to enjoy this festive event. We invited them with open arms.
We enjoyed a diversity of Italian foods, ranging from Baked Ziti to Chicken Alfredo. Of course Italian food is not the same without garlic bread to accent it.
All the food was prepared by the greatest people in the world—Life Pointe’s members.
Great food and music was only part of what made this a great experience. The décor was amazing. Ladies spent nearly the entire day to make the experience epic. It was just that!
To end the evening on an even greater high, Paul and Kim Adams renewed their wedding vows to commemorate twenty-five years of marriage. Way to go Kim and Paul!!
