How It Works

The Phillies got back in it last night. The Yankees are up 3-2 so the Phillies have to win 2 to hang on but the Yankees either made a great move or killed themselves with pitching. They are throwing their starters on 3 days rest when they usually need 4-5 days of rest between starts. CC Sabathia can handle it but AJ Burnett couldn't last night and the Yanks throw Andy Pettite next. He's a great pitcher but getting older and how he responds can shift the whole thing to the Phillies favor.

The theme for the youth retreat was built around discipleship. Are you a disciple of Christ every day in every situation? I'm not but continually hoping and working on my heart so that I can change my answer one day.

I've said this before but feel compelled to say it again...our Youth Minister and his wife are simply awesome. They challenge our kids to be Christ-like in such loving and caring ways. They are good examples of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³gentleness and self-control. Thank you Jacob and Heather.

I would accidentally leave some others out if I start naming names but there are some other adults at our church that have an immense love for our youth and are such a blessing to our kids. I am thankful for them.
