The Little Guys (Texas Rangers and Us)

Congratulations, Rangers! I am so excited that the Texas Rangers are headed to the baseball playoffs again this year. When the team failed to sign free agent pitcher Cliff Lee last winter after he led them to wins in both the division series and the league championships, I wondered how they would fare this year.

I love the fact that they are back without a heralded ace. Their starting pitchers have been wonderful, far surpassing their efforts a year ago. The five consistent starters have all won 13 games or more this year. CJ Wilson has truly stepped up as their ace. It has been an amazing year with over 90 wins for only the 5^th time in team history.

So, how does this relate to our faith?

Stormy Days

Yesterday storms raced across the skies of North Texas, bringing damage to buildings in various places. Often I soak in such days, sensing the nearness of God in the power and majesty of the tempest. However, day after day of clouds makes me long for the warmth and peace that comes from the sun.

What are we to do when we encounter the storms of life?
