WHEN IT TAKES A NATIONAL CHAMP TO BEAT YOU

One of the softball dads on our daughter’s traveling team was watching the televised NCAA softball finals, UCLA vs. Michigan. He noticed a freshman girl for the Lady Wolverines who smashed an RBI single and a 3-run home run to basically win the national championship for her team.

And he looked at her . . . and looked at her . . .

. . . and did a little checking, and finally, he recognized her: she was the player who homer’ed against our Nebraska-based traveling team last summer in the American Fastpitch Association national tournament in Beaumont, Texas. They beat us, 1-0, sending us back to Nebraska out of the running. Her team wound up second.

Heyyyy! Suddenly, we don’t feel so bad about that loss. Not so bad at all!

Prayer request: A dear friend and faithful pro-life warrior named Julie is facing a possible diagnosis of multiple sclerosis after a lesion was discovered on a brain scan. Then again, it could be something minor. Father, we pray for mercy and healing for Your loyal and loving servant, and comfort for her husband and children. Let this be a “close shave” and through their faith, let this trial remind them of Your goodness and glory. (Jeremiah 17:14)
