Today was such a special day. It kicked off the Greenwood Baseball League 2009 season. It was great to see so many volunteers in our community that care enough about our kids and youth to invest time and money to impact the lives of our young people! Both of my boys, Jake and Sam, were so excited that opening day was finally here.
There is something about the fans surrounding the field, clapping, and cheering as all the kids as the teams are being recognized, that really gets me!
I was given the awesome privilege to lead today’s invocation… to thank God for all the kids, coaches, parents, and volunteers, and pray for the safety for our league. Such a blessing to know that our league & parents still allow prayer before our games!
I was also able to hang out with great friends, answer a few questions about Revolution Church, spend some time with my pastor seeking his wisdom, and catch a few games, too!
Revolution Church sponsored the Angels this year! (I also get to be their coach!) This is a great bunch of 4-6 year olds who have tons of energy and make me proud when they try their best, listen to the coaches, and have fun! What an honor for our church to be able to invest into the lives of these great kids!
It was also great to visit with my parents and in-laws today… the grandparents came to watch the boys’ games, even though they were both rained out. 
In closing, I just want to say to the Greenwood Community… You make me proud to live here!
