Ballgames

June 18, 2008 · Filed Under mobile

Ballgames are a completely different experience as a parent than they were as a kid. I don’t remeber them being this boring 30 years ago — at least it’s a beautiful 70 & sunny as I sit, watch, and write at 7pm on a Wed evening.

It does my prideful heart good to state that my daughter is good — carrying on in the tradition of me & my dad. And those of you who know me, know that I wouldn’t say she was good if she wasn’t (right bigsis?)

I’m just glad it gets easier to watch each year, particularly as the amount of self-esteem-boosting rule-tweaking gives way to actually playing by the rules - like keeping score, succeeding, failing, winning, and losing.

I have always thought that if you can do something, do it to the best of your ability. And if you are very good at something, enjoy it and do very well...it is to God's glory!

To me, baseball is such the opposite of hockey. I'm glad for baseball season. It gives my son's body a rest and my mind a break.
