Yesterday morning my son had his first fall baseball game. When we arrived the other coaches weren't there yet but some of the parents and kids were. I saw an opportunity to be helpful and get the boys started but suddenly realized that my son didn't have the belt for his uniform when I saw one of the other boys acquire and loan a belt to another. I had to make a quick decision to run home and get the belt. On the way out I saw that one boy didn't have pants and a belt so inspired by the kid that loaned a belt to the other I brought the pants and sure enough the boy needed them.

I was a little hesitant as to what extent I should help out. I didn't want to step on the toes of the guys who have made a legitimate commitment. Considering that these boys are mostly new and that we only had 2 practices with no pitching and weren't prepared for the base stealing the boys did pretty darn good. I am especially grateful for the coaches that we have because they are very knowledgeable and effective communicators. I was also grateful for my mom for watching the children.

In the afternoon my wife had to work so I stayed home with the kids. I got to visit with my parents in the afternoon.

In the evening it got very busy but I had a great time watching a football game with the kids.

Thanks be to God.
