Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Sand Gnats Season Ending

The boys finished strong and won their last game of the season.  They also got a season baseball which the coaches had signed for each boy.

Coach Thad is standing on the left and is the one Owen had been asking all season if he could pitch.  Coach Jeff is on the right.

This sometimes felt like an extremely long season with late night games and many school night practices combined with slow moving games and more walks than hits.  There were tears over being struck or thrown out.  But the smiles on this boy's face after every game and practice won out and keep him asking to sign up for baseball in the spring.  Owen has learned more about the game and has amazed us at his perseverance through his frustration, as well as his dedication to practicing hitting, throwing and catching at home.  Way to go, Owen on a fabulous first-ever season of baseball.
