Softball Friendships

It was chilly on the evening of the 107th day of 2019, but I did not mind sitting in the dugout during a Mustangs/Voorhees U18 scrimmage this evening.  As the game went on during 4/17/19, I was amused by the antics of the team's players.  The friendships that have formed on this team over the past few years have been fun to observe.  I am grateful for these Softball Friendships.  I think they make the team play better and they have certainly benefited Alexa and others as well.

My prayer today is for my former colleague at the Penn School of Nursing who is going to graduate with her BA this year.  This is a result of a lot of hard work by her and we are all so proud!

And tonight, I am going to end with a prayer for a person usually forgotten (instead of someone with whom I disagree).  After the softball game, we went through the Drive-Thru for a late-night snack.  The people who work the Drive-Thru lines have to be patient and must deal with so many people each evening..... prayers for them.

A Night with No Plans

The evening of the 59th day was a unicorn.  After work on 2/28/19, we actually had nothing planned.  Anna and Sarah went to the gym, Alexa went out with friends, and I chilled at home.  Tonight, I am thankful for this brief respite (I know it will ramp right back up real soon).  Goodnight!

Being a Father

6/16/2019 is Father's Day.  And I spent the 166th day of 2019 doing things with my family.  Church, clothes shopping (I did need new (and smaller, thank goodness) clothes), naps, Disney Movies on TV, a GREAT dinner (mmmm lasagna by Sarah), and then more catching up on TV with the family.  I am so blessed that, on 4/2/2002, I was made a father.  Being a father has pretty much defined me since that day.  I am so grateful for being a father, as well as being thankful for those who have advised me and taught me and have helped me become a better father.  This, of course, includes my fathers and grandfathers, who have been shining examples to me, but also for all of those other people in my life who have been models and mentors, my mom, other relatives, my wife, friends, etc.  So, to all who have been in my life in regard to my parenting, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!  (and thank you!)

More Numbers

Today, 11/24/19, is Day #328 of 2019.  As with most Sundays, after Church, I counted, with my counter colleagues, the offering that was collected.  So, on day 328, the Loose Offering was $27 and the total cash was $273.  I know it might sound geeky, but this is where my gratitude lies today.  I love that these are more numbers to make me happy.  And I am glad that a simple set of numbers can start my day off in a good manner.
