Baseball Season Has Arrived
I love it when the seasons change and daylight savings time occurs, even though it takes a week for my body to adjust to the change. In case you did not know I love the Astros and I'm proud to say that I am not a fair weathered fan as I have faithfully cheered them on to what I hoped each year would be our year in the World Series. I left work early to be sure I'm home in time to see the opening pitch of the season opener and some of the pre-game show. As I stood watching the game I cheered and clapped out loud as if I were at the game. I felt so giddy and expectant! I found myself surprised at how baseball could cause this emotion in me and I was thinking about how I've been faithful to "my team" with the ups, downs, disappointments and victories. You know it's just so true with God that when we remain faithful and hold tightly to him through the disappointing times there is a huge victory in the end. Glory to his name!

It was good times at the game. However, Joel pointed out to me that they may have been milking the NL Championship by spreading out the "hoopla" associated with it. Last night, they unveiled the pennant in the outfield and presented the trophy. Plus, it was Opening Day, so people are gonna go regardless. But tonight, the first 30,000 fans get replica championship rings! Talk about an effective ploy to pull people away from Opening Day in order to sell tickets! ;-)
