Recently, Jim, Ryan, and I (Jordan), headed out to play a game of baseball in Helechal. Upon arrival, we met several young guys eagerly waiting to play some ball! We pulled out all of our equipment and started a game.

Something as simple as playing a game of baseball brought joy to all of us. It was truly a blessing to be throwing, catching, and batting. We all enjoyed ourselves whether ahead or behind in runs. Winners were not exalted; losers not picked out. Our sole mission-have fun!

Afterwards, we distributed a portion of the equipment that we had used. They were extremely grateful for not only the gear, but to have played a few games of ball with us who, by NO means, played phenomenally.

Before our departure, I shared a quick word about keeping our eyes on the Lord. Just like we are supposed to focus on the baseball when batting, we must focus on the Lord and not let any distractions get in the way!

The Lord had blessed us with a wonderful afternoon and an enjoyable game.
