A Dangerous Game
After 30 plus years in baseball, you would think I would have a handle on the anxiety I feel walking into a ballpark. As I sat in the parking lot watching the time tick away until game time I felt the recurring jitters of the first game of the year. Not nerves about...
All. The. Ways.
I have taken the opportunity and sometimes pleasure, over the years to point out to my husband all the ways he has hurt me, all the ways he’s not as good as someone else’s husband, all the ways he does things wrong.

Let’s Do It Together!
Earlier in the year, a couple of friends and I were discussing our lack of consistency in reading the Bible. We each had our reasons for lacking in our luster for reading but it all came to the issue of no one to hold us accountable. So many days I wake up with great...
