Thanks for sharing that story. God has given you the gift of encouragement. Your Grandpa Charlie would be very proud of you to see that you are carrying on his legacy as he was an encouragement to me when I came to Christ 51 years ago at Moody Church in Chicago.

I forwarded the story to my Grand Daughter, Kelsie Cowman, who is really into volleyball at Rosslyn Academy in Nairobi Kenya. She is the only freshman on the girls varsity team and I’m a proud Grandpa.

Wow, what a story, Ken! Had to blink a few times myself on that one.

Recognizing the moment sometimes takes the ordinary and makes it the extraordinary. How many extraordinary moments are lost by not recognizing them. God certainly works out of the box, we better keep our eyes on the ball and swing!

Hey Ken,
I’m glad the ump didn’t know the replacement rule. What a great story :-). Thanks for sharing it.

I saw the story posted some days ago. Thanks, Ken, for bringing out the specifics including the players’ names. They’re right, you know. Every game has the potential of bringing out something that has never happened before. I’ve been playing baseball/softball for almost 60 years and haven’t seen/heard the likes of this one.

Several years ago I visited the 755 club at Turner Field in Atlanta. It’s filled with Hank Aaron memorabilia as the name (his home total) of the club suggests. On one dated picture of Hammerin’ Hank, he’s quoted as saying (and I think I have it pretty close): “When I’m on the baseball field, I feel like I’m surrounded by angels and God’s hand is on my shoulder.”

I think these young ladies knew what Hank had experienced — and me too — any number of times!!

Good Morning, Ken. This is an amazing story, one that exemplifies selfless action in a materialistic, driven society. Our hearts all have this potential. Mallory heard the “gentle whisper” that is within us all and actually listened! I wonder how many times God has whispered to me when I was too busy to notice? This was the advice that Screwtape gave to Wormwood: “Keep them busy.” Blessings to all….

good story, thank you for sharing. my belief is that we are all presented with opportunities to do good every day, the problem many times is that we are not looking for them so we miss them. The good Samaritan did not miss his opportunity, the question for me today is, will I see my opportunity? and if I do, will I respond the way God would want me to?

The film is not so much about evolution as it is about a closed-door totalitarian ’science.’

A favorite quote that applies is by a favorite author, Dr. Henry Margenau, Yale U. Physics Prof.,in his 1961 book, Open Vitas.

“True science knows No Final Answers: Only on-going questions.”

Comment on Wright and Wrong by Bud Smith

Too many peachers seem to forget their God-given duty to proclaim “the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27) and not just ride their favorite hobby horse (whether tithing or prophesy or social justice or “four steps to a happy marriage” or whatever). Did Rev. Wright’s congregation also hear this from the pulpit? “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them . . . repay no one evil for evil but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all . . . do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:14-21 AND “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:31-32.

The press might not have been as interested is such sound bites - but in hearing such statements maybe some people might be inclined to look more closely at the wonder of God’s grace and the life-changing power of the Gospel?
