Last nights game was pretty crazy, and filled with drama. We ended up on the losing side... The kids got caught up in the emotional aspect of the game a little too much, but I felt like we held our character when given the opportunity to lose it.
To top things off, Carl's (the guy I coach with, our head coach) father in law was rushed to the hospital after having a stroke... kinda puts things in perspective. All the drama that goes on around baseball dosent compare with whats really important like family.
Baseball is afterall a game (a great one- dont get me wrong) but its not life, and it dosent define who we are. At times it does reveal character flaws and strengths, but there is more to life than baseball. Praying for Carl and his whole family (especially his father in law Tommy).
Joshua 1:9-
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Awesome verse... this is my fall back when things get a little crazy, or when the head coach get tossed out of the ball game, and I have to run the show :)
