It's Monday Already?
What a quick weekend!First things first. Joe's surgery went very well and he's up and walking around. Quintuple bypass surgery and they already have the poor guy hiking! Thanks so much for prayers. God was really looking out for him and his whole family.
Saturday morning was the first day of the boy's baseball season. Unfortunately, they accidentally put my 8 year old on a team of 6/7 year olds. His first liner up the middle almost took a kid's head off. The kid wasn't really paying attention though, so it may not have even bothered him. James is really hitting well and we had our first really good catch before the game. I'm learning that if I throw/pitch the ball on a line, he's much better at catching/hitting it. Time to stop treating him like a little kid with my lobs. They are supposed to move him up to the 8-10 year old league next week. We'll see how that goes. I think it could be great for him to have to be with older kids for a change.
Saturday afternoon the DirecTV was installed and I finally know the wonder that is the MLB Network.
We had good friends for dinner that night. Worshiped and learned on Sunday morning. Tried to do some homework in the afternoon but got caught up in Tiger's charge to victory at Bay Hill. Honestly, I don't know why anything he does surprises me anymore. And then it was off to the Rock & Worship Road Show!
Last night we heard Addison Road, 10th Avenue North, Hawk Nelson, Jeremy Camp, and Mercy Me perform. I'm a big Jeremy Camp fan and he was truly great...the words he said as much as the songs he sang. But Mercy Me stood out among the rest and really led some great worship. I don't mind being entertained at a Christian concert. These are great musicians using their gifts to the best of their ability and singing songs that are about something worthwhile. But I relished the chance to lift my voice along with 13000 others in praise. Mercy Me provided that.
James went and had a great time too. We're all a little tired today (and Open House is tonight...urghhhhh), but it was well worth it.

James, the "Fresno Force!" :)
Is James in "Coach Pitch?" If he is, all the pressure is on the Coach pitching to be sure.
Sounds like you had a great time. Without a doubt the lead guy of "Mercy Me" could do the whole show by himself. He is a gifted speaker, entertainer, and singer.
So you have the MLB Package - will we be able or better yet, will Lisa be able to stand you? :)
Son 2 went to that same concert, or praise night, in Little Rock. He really likes those groups.
Taking the pitcher's head off is NOT okay. Aim for the feet…
Memories. Of both Little League and Open House. My wife taught school for almost 30 years and HATED open house.
