i got back in from my first 10th inning practice, and it went very well. let me tell you that all the way up until my opening statement i was dreading it. after just a few minutes i could tell a serious attitude adjustment, and man was i thankful for that. all day i kept thinking about all the other things i would want to be doing on saturday instead of being on a baseball field with kids that aren't even mine. i thought about the lake, camping, fishing, being in kc with holly's folks, and the list goes on and on. but, when the rubber met the road i just decided that it wasn't about me or even the kids, but it was all about God and relationships that holly and i can develop over the summer. i know many of you that read this blog really do have a lot of stuff going on that would not allow you to be there on saturday's but contribute in other ways behind the scenes. on the other hand i also know many of you have your "reasons" for not participating. some of those "reasons" probably include: i'm so busy during the week i just want saturday to relax or if i had a kid that wanted to play i would coach or get involved, but the best reason is simply that it's just too hot. sorry if i urked any of you out there but i think we can all do better so serve the kingdom of God. on that note, GET INVOLVED...TODAY!

unrelated, but: if that runner on sunshine looked extremely vexed about running, it was probably me. yeeks.
I completely agree. Sometimes we need to hear the honest truth to get us to remember it isn't all about us. You and Holly are examples that Kevin and I look at when it comes to serving others. Thank you.
