Good Morning, God,
The headlines are about three of our baseball teams these days. The Indiana Hoosiers are going to the College World Series in Omaha. Our Jasper Wildcats are going to the state finals in Indianapolis. Our dubois County Bombers have starred in a new reality show pilot and play on through July.
Lord, we appreciate the gifts of sports, skill, and the ability to take pleasure from watching and cheering. We thank you for all the emotions we can display: groans when we needed a hit and had a strikeout instead; suspense when a runner takes off from first or second attempting to steal second or third; excitement when a bunt is laid down to advance runners; the thrill like no other when the ball is hit over the fence or a runner is safe at home on a close play.
Yes, Lord, we love our baseball. Thank you for Abner Doubleday and all those who have taken his idea and played with it.
In Jesus's name, Amen.
