I had a very enjoyable time of ministry last night. No I didn’t teach a lesson, lead a small group, or attend a service. I went to a baseball game. There are several guys from our ministry that are all on the same baseball team, so I watched them clobber the opposing team last night!

I love doing stuff like this for a few reasons:
1. I can cheer these guys on. I remember going to my own little league games growing up. It was so cool when a lot of parents, family, and friends would come and watch us play! It was a big deal! Plus…I am also pretty proud of these guys; they are still undefeated!
2. I am also able to cheer alongside the parents. It’s great to be able to build relationships with both students and parents all at the same time! There were also some girls from our ministry that watched the game too, so I got to talk to them as well. It’s a good chance to be in the community in their world on a nice summer day.
3. I love baseball. Watching baseball is never as much fun as playing baseball, but I really do love watching the game. It’s not the big leagues, but it’s cool to cheer and encourage kids that I know.
4. The weather was amazing last night. It has been so humid recently, but last night it was so comfortable…just a great time to be outside.
