Just For the Joy of It – Boys and Baseball

Good, True & Beautiful


Until I had children, I had very little interest in sports.  That hasn’t changed very much, except for when my children are involved.  Through the years, baseball  seemed to be the chosen sport for my boys.  And, as time went on, it has grabbed onto my heart also! 
Here is my youngest who plays little league ball:

Even though the older boys are way past their little league days, they still love to play. Here they are practicing on the church softball team:

My  baseball boys bring me joy!

    Just sat in the freezing cold tonight while a daughter had softball practice and a son had a baseball game. I love watching them play. I need to buy winter boots, but I love being there to support them. Great pics!

    Great shots! I always dreamed of having a little girl who would wear pink and ruffles and have beautiful curly hair.

    Well I have 3 wonderful sons - and I have learned to love baseball! (We had some short stints of football and basketball as well).

    I became the team photographer for my sons travel baseball team (he is 13) 4 or so years ago - so I shoot about 300 pictures a game. It is what got me into photography. The thrill of stopping the ball at the bat!

    I didn't get a girl - but my youngest has such tight curls - we have no idea where they came from - the other boys have wavy hair like my husband - but mind is stick straight! So funny! So I have a myriad of hair care tools in my house - gel, mouse, straighteners! Who would have thought - with boys!!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
