History of Baseball Affecting Lives Today

 

Did you know that Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his baseball career? 

That's the most in the history of baseball!




WE DON'T REMEMBER the strike outs because Jackson never gave up, and he was always a valuable leader on the team.


WE DO REMEMBER, however, all the (563) homeruns as Denzel Washington describes in this talk to University of Pennsylvania grads. For 14 seasons, Jackson was named an American League All Star. He also achieved the Most Valuable Player Award after knocking out of the park 3 home runs to clinch his most recent World Series Win. Jackson even earned a Babe Ruth Award.

THE POINT: Some people give up. But others never will! And those who never give up will achieve Big Victories in life.

SO, NEVER GIVE UP! THE WINS ARE WORTH THE REWARDS :-)

No Greater Gift Than God's Great Love

  No Greater Gift Than God's Great Love Yes,  No Greater Love by Teresa J. Herbic God is love. 1 John 4:8 There is no greater love than the love poured down on us from Our Heavenly Father. The sacrifice of His son as our savior and mighty king proved to be the critical act to gaining fellowship into God’s family. This example of agape love transformed history and our hearts forever. I heard a sermon once about the topic of agape love. A preacher in my small home town taught us that agape love is God’s pure love. There’s no matching it. It is the most divine, self-sacrificing and unconditional love that exists. No Greater Gift Than God's Great Love.... It’s difficult to understand this kind of love. The closest we may come as humans is in our role as parents. When your child feels down or becomes ill, our heart aches. As with most parents, we will do anything to make our children feel better and express our full devotion and support. As I think of agape love—God’s pure love—I c...

2019 New Year's Prayer

Image
by Teresa J. Herbic For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Prayer for Healing and Strength:

Image
When Hopes are Dashed by Teresa J. Herbic The steps of the godly are directed by the LORD. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.  Psalm 37:23-24, NLT Photo Link - Ben White Photography We don't always know the truth, and sometimes the truth hurts. Sometimes we need prayer for healing and strength.   They grew up in the same small town, ran with the same circle of friends for many years. Dave felt confident about his life and family. Then, one day, Dave's whole world blew up in front of him. The truth, as he knew it, became far from reality.  When a Friend Whispers... That day he heard his friends' whispers. Two of them he knew for years told others that Dave was their biological brother. They went on to say that when he was a baby, their mom couldn't care for him. The family already had too many mouths to feed. As they talked, Dave turned the corner to hear every word....
