Jordan and The Curves


Sounds like the name of a band. Jordan played his second little league game today. His first at bat he nailed a line drive right into the right fielders glove. Fortunately for Jordan he dropped it and Jordan ended up on first, which he deserved to be. I don't remember ever hitting the ball that hard when I was a kid. My mother says I got on base a lot, but I don't think by hitting it that hard. His hitting is pure joy to watch. His swing is perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. Even when he strikes out, which he did the second time up because he swung at pitches that were too high, it's fun to watch him swing. The third time he hit a grounder and slid into first out with the bases loaded. We'll have to work on that. He likes to slide.

I told him last night I was most proud of him for his humility.

Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. -1 Pe 5:5-6.

I never thought I'd love a baby so much. She makes my day every day. Every night Kim brings her into the room before we go to bed and I'm in awe at what a beautiful creature God gave us. When she smiles you cannot help but melt.

-Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul, and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up when you get up. -Deut 6:5
