Play Ball

Opening Day at Mesa, Arizona - the first Chicago Cubs game of 2015 at Spring Training - the crowd of loyal Cubs fan was there - the two of us among them - excitement - fun - smiles - adults - kids - men - women - young - old - sporting blue Cub shirts - hats - cameras. A festive atmosphere - happy - enjoying the warm weather - sun - food - drink. The first game anywhere - always fun - always interesting - filled with hope - expectation - praying for a win. Today's score - tied - 2 to 2.


Jesus calls all of us to join His Father's team - to play ball with Him - to enjoy ourselves - each other - life. His plan - health - happiness - joy - comfort. All will celebrate - the good times - leave the bad times behind - looking forward to a future of endless joy. No try outs for God's team - no anxiety - no practice games - no cuts - no losers - no ties - everyone plays - everyone wins. Jesus invites everyone to join His team - this Lent - everyday - sign up is now - He stands - waiting - for you.
