Failure is part of the learning process you’re not failing so much as learning what doesn’t work. As long as you learn from your less than successful attempts it’s not failure.

Quote from C.S. Lewis:
As long as you are proud, you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down in things and people. And of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is always above you.

COT: I was at the grocery store the other week and a woman with a small child walked up to me and asked me if I could help her with groceries. I did and it was a raw moment for me, seeing real need right in front of my face in my community. I try to keep it in mind as a motivator for empathy for those who may be in need – most folks you probably couldn’t tell by looking at them. I’d like to find structured, recurring ways to help others in our community.

softballs 8/27 doubleheader

Date: 2024-08-28
AO: softballs
Q: SAAS
PAX: Defiance, Gherkin, Poe, Jenner, Bone, Big Short, Prestige, Coxswain, Ghosted, Old Bay, Sparky, 2 percent, Checkers FNGs: None
COUNT: 14

Two damn good games. We scored 8 runs in the first game, 5 in the second game. Unfortunately the other team scored more, and per the arcane rules of softball, that means they won.

Highlights: too many to count. Coxswain snagging a comebacker was the best, followed by a couple close outs at home. Way to hustle. Those will be runs next time!

All in all, a great first game. We gave away a few outs, and that opened the door for some big innings. If we tighten those down, we’re gonna be competitive in this division.

I’ll be announcing some practice opportunities to deal with specific areas that need improvement: – infielders throwing hard to first base
– fielding fly balls off the fungo
– batting practice (either at the Upton hills batting cages, or we can have a group session with my coach if y’all wanna shell out some $$)
