1 Down...161 To Go
The baseball season is long. Some people seem to think that 162 games is too many. Me? Come October, I'm just warming up.The Angels won the opener last night. They got some luck, but there will be plenty of games where the other team gets the luck, so that's okay.
I'm spending the day getting ready for Saturday's fantasy baseball auction. I can't think of a better way to spend a day. Yesterday I golfed. Whoever said, "The worst day golfing is better than the best day at work" was not being truthful. Today I'm poring over stats and position eligibility and team needs. Much more fun than teaching...and golfing.
Sunday is going to be exciting. The Easter service will be a wonderful time of worship and gratitude and reflection. Then the African Children's Choir will be with us that night for even more celebration and praise.
Can I just say a word about my wife here? Lisa is helping to organize this event...getting people to open their homes, help load and unload trucks, and all the other things necessary for something of this magnitude. This just a week after she headed up an auction for Ukraine Missions...an auction which netted over $8500. She is such a hard worker, so organized and dependable, and relentless in her efforts to further the kingdom. She, like many other women in our fellowship, doesn't get nearly enough credit. Too many people think of her as "Steve's wife." I'm incredibly proud to spend some time being "Lisa's husband."
It's Spring Break, but Sunday's coming! Time to get back to the stats.

Steve,
Luck? I'd call that a classic Rangers/Angels game. Lots of loud outs and strikeouts for the Rangers, sprinkle in a Vlad Guerrero double or two, and you have a typical Rangers/Angels game.

We now interrupt this blog for the baseball season! :)
It is said that 80% of "work" is accomplished by 20% of the people. In Lisa's case, she ups that to 100% and more. What a jewel, what a "pearl of great price", she is!! You are a blessed man, Steve. And so are all of us...
OK you guys, that's ENOUGH talk about me! I just do what God has gifted me to do but thanks for your kind workds.
I totally get your affirmation for your wife...
there's something about that whole "helper" thing God spoke about in Genesis 2. When we serve each other in selfless, something just seems right.
