There are few things that can wake me up but last night's hail storm was one of them. It was fast and loud. One friend I spoke with this morning got some really big hail that left some holes in his roof and water coming inside his house.

Opening Day for the Rangers at home is next Tuesday and I'm excited. While the Rangers are 1-2 after their first series with the Mariners, Opening Day at home always brings hope and a little optimism that something crazy may happen and the team has a decent year. I'm not hoping for any kind of title, just that games in August and September have a little meaning.
A few years ago when most of the team was pretty young, they won 83 games or something like that and there was an air of excitement every time I went to the ballpark. Last year I couldn't give my tickets away.

This morning I keep thinking about a recent conversation I was having about baptism. While our conversation on that day dealt with some broad thoughts on doctrine and interpretations, this morning I kept thinking about the beauty of baptism. A recent study we had in our youth class took me back to Romans 6 where it says we are united with Christ in baptism. For me, that is one of the most powerful pieces of scripture I read. I want to be united with Christ, to be one with Him. If that's what baptism does, it is a beautiful thing in my eyes.
I like the days I start off thinking about Christ and the joy I have through Him. I hope you share in that joy with me.

It sounded to me like my house was being pelted by softballs. Although I heard we had some softball-sized hail in the area -- when I looked outside it looked to be about nickel sized. But it sure was loud!
I don't know whether to call my insurance agent or not.
