This and That

Just some thoughts roaming around my brain.

We just completed our first week of baseball for the upcoming season.  A little wet and certainly cold.   That is how our season starts around here.  It seems to be a good group of young men and the coaching staff has them focused.  We have a coach out that hasn't been on the field for over 15 years.  He coached most of the rest of the staff and it is absolutely a dream to have him helping young people.  We'll see what happens this year.

I finished Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell and I'm still trying to process everything.  So much information that seems relevant to my life now.  Or maybe it is that my eyes have opened just a bit more and I can see things that I couldn't before.

It has been fun and illuminating to be reading a book about Lent, before Lent.  How great Thou art, truly.

One of the downsides of baseball starting is being away from home more.  I leave and it's barely light and come home after dark.  Part of Saturday and Sundays are the only time to see home and family during daylight.  I always feel beholden because I can't contribute as much to the upkeep of our home during baseball.

It is enjoyable to watch a fire burn though.
