On Softball and other things...

Before I forget, the PSCC Men's Softball team is in first place of the Gold church league. This is the highest league we can play in and we are more than just getting by in this league. It is so much fun to compete again, and the guys on the team are phenomenal men!

Long story, but last night at our game, Wes and I were warming up and Wes threw a ball that went right over my head. I turned and trotted after it, not realizing that my truck key, which had broken off of my key chain a week ago and has yet to be fixed, fell out of my warm up coat pocket. I am completely oblivious to this development, and the game starts and we won because of the 12 run lead mercy rule in the 5th inning. I am walking to my truck to go home to my new place (SHWB) and I realize I don't have a key for my truck... It is now 9:30 at night and I am stuck without a key. Anto and Jenae had come to the game and they helped me go and look for my key out on the field, but it was dark and the attendant had to turn the lights off. Next bright idea was to break into my truck (it can be done, but I won't tell you how) and see if I could use another Ford key to get the ignition lock undone to start the engine and drive home! Not happening, all we ended up with was a truck with the alarm going off and my realization that being a car thief is not my strong suit. Anto and Jenae drove me home and I got a ride to the field this morning from Warren, and I was able (after about an hour of looking) to find my little key in a large field of grass.

All that to say, I get to share a devotional time next week after our softball game and I am pretty sure what I am going to share on... The requirement that we have for devotional is that it needs to come from the book of Proverbs. I love how Proverbs is always talking about wisdom, and how we are to search for it. Kind of like searching for a missing key to a truck. Sometimes, you need some friends to help you find it and you might not see it right away and may have to come back the next day to look some more.

Right on... if you want to come out and support the 1st place PSCC Men's Softball Team, we play at the SERA fields (right behind PSCC) at 6 pm. Come prepared to cheer and chant and hoot and holler and everything else a rabid fan does.

As mentioned above, I am now moved in to the South Side Home for Wayward Boys (SHWB). Warren Angus and I are the founding members and if you want to donate to the cause we are accepting beds, dressers, garbage cans, couches, chairs, TV stands, new carpet, pots and pans among other things. You can get the full list by calling me or visiting us sometime (762 99th St S, Turn onto 99 off of Park and second house on the left is ours) The place needs a lot of work, which is why I like it. There are plenty of projects to keep Warren and me busy (maybe even cheapen the rent a little as we trade work for rent!) I will be throwing a housewarming party here, maybe next weekend (I need some time to clean up the house and yard), stay tuned for details...

I promise to post more often now.
