Baseball camp is over. I will share random thoughts to a fascinating week.
- God's grace is the only thing that makes our work produce. I would talk to Him at night in the room, or on the bus, and even when playing on the field. If I awakened in the night I would pray; thanking Him for His grace. This morning I woke up and began praying for Him to do His thing in camp...and then realized I was home.
- I don't know how I can be so fortunate to get to see the weirdest and most impossible scenarios become common and possible. It is His grace....I just don't understand it.
- I realized God has used these camps from the earliest years beginning in 1984 to transform me from a control-freak fraidy-cat to a confident-in-Christ missionary.
- Teaching opportunities arose minute by minute. I've never spent such a time...an easy time at that...telling the players about how Jesus identifies with us so perfectly. I wish you could have seen the eyes I saw as I told about him. Lights came on for some and tears formed in others.
- Here's what they want to know; how does Jesus fit from Monday to Saturday? That's what I got to tell them.
- Finally, I am the luckiest man I ever met. God has allowed me the most precious gift of seeing people and then being able to make quick connection with most. I don't know how He gets done all He gets done among us....but I know from study that God has His heart set on working among us. Our goal is to stay out of the way so that He can!

The wonder working power of God working through a simple game called: Baseball!
You represent kingdom work and kingdom people so very well!
I love the way you so freely allow God to use you in every situation! We could all learn a lot by watching the way God works through people who will allow Him to do so!
