finally made it back home and it feels good. the road trip was incredible-we won 4 of 5 games and to do that on the road is quite remarkable. the "boys" are very respectful towards me and never cause me any problems. it would be so easy for this group of future major leaguers to be cocky and arrogant, but they are not. the are quite humble as a matter of fact.
as i write this, i have been talking to another one of our drivers who has become my best friend. jack is on his way to washington, d.c. and it is 0330. i have the weekend off and am going to watch a baseball game with my 2 youngest children. i sure wish i was taking all 4. maybe soon. you would think i would be tired of baseball but i am not. tomorrow, or actually today will be my 6th game in 6 days. if i could i would go sunday night but i have got to take advantage of being home and going to my home church. i am thirsty and need to drink deep from the well. i think the last time i went to my own church was sometime in march and will have been about 7-8 weeks since i was there. i am looking forward to it more than i can say.
monday morning i leave for 5 days in d.c. and i am looking forward to going. i like washington but i was really needing the 5 days off i was supposed to be taking. when i get back, i will have a few days off before i go back on an 11 day road trip. yes, it is baseball so i will get 11 games in 11 days. i just promised my kids i would be here. it kills me to tell them i am going to be here and then tell them i can't. i missed a lot of my 2 older children's lives. they moved about 3 hours way about 10 years ago. my time with them is very limited and i promised i would never become numb to the fact that they moved. i still try to call them most every night. i understand that with their ages, 20 and 14 that they have their own lives and friends and i try to make exceptions in visiting. never will i let got of them, never.
if you are reading this, please take the time to comment on this blog. i would appreciate any feedback about what this blog doing to other people. please, this is read by church, friends and family so keep that in mind as far as language.
until next time...
