Saturday is a special day

It felt like the good old days today as we got up early for a full day of baseball...I love to sit at the ball field on a Saturday and watch the boys play. It was a beautiful day, not too hot or cold and I managed to sunscreen all the kids sufficiently so no burns! Well, with the exception of Parker, but that was because after his game he went home with his friend Brady and spent the day in their pool! And it's not a bad one, he'll be tan by Monday.


Parker had a 9:30 game that didn't start until just after 10. They also played last night at Celina. I didn't manage any pic's of either of those games, but Parker was named the MOP (most outstanding player) of the game. They won both of their games and he had a great time!


Tyler's select team played in a tournament at Triple Creek today (so it was a double header, 12:30 and 2:15.) They lost both of them, one was close (4-5) the other was not. We only scored 1 point in it...and it was Tyler's run. Woo hoo! Triple Creek is a beautiful complex with great fields, as pictured below.

Here's one of T's hits in the first game: (see the ball speeding out at the far right of the picture??) Nice hit, T.
He also had some great throws from catch.
What a beautiful day...everyone is going to sleep well tonight!

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
