FRANKENSOFTBALL

Anyone would say that my beloved is the more serious, dignified and responsible one of our union. I have been known to do some pretty silly things, but he is a stalwart captain of industry with tremendous self-control and admirably good table manners.

So you know that CRAZY MAN in an ENORMOUS Afro wig, whirling a softball bat and ball around in the air, and running along the main drag of our town as the high school softball team’s bus came by on their way to the State tournament?

That would be him.

Nobody could believe their eyes. I’m sure it’s why they won. Sometimes, when you’re in shock, your muscle memory takes over and you can do even better than when you’re in control of your faculties.

Which, as the ultimate softball fan, he obviously was not. But as it turned out, that was a good thing.

Prayer request: Thank You, Father, that no one was killed in an accident in another city early Sunday in which a 20-year-old, Sarah, was driving drunk and slammed her car into a garage of a house. It flipped onto the homeowners’ car and caused an explosion and fire. Miraculously, Sarah got out and the homeowners found her in the yard. She had third-degree burns on 40% of her body. The house was burned to the ground in front of this couple’s eyes, and now Sarah faces skin grafts starting today and a long recovery process. Sarah had just started going to a church youth group this month, a huge step after her father divorced her mom three years ago, wounding the three kids -- he remarried just two weeks ago. Prayers are needed for healing and protection from infection, reconciliation of hearts to God and to each other, for physical and emotional strength for Sarah's mom and aunt, and for the couple who lost their home and belongings. Moreover, Lord, we pray for the spirits of judgment and accusation to be quieted, and for compassion, peace that passes understanding, and patience to wait on God, as He works through each heart. May this crisis bring them all to relationship with You as they realize how much they need You. (Job 5:19)
