Softball Game

We went to Ahren's 2nd softball game tonight and his team won!  Yay!! 
During practice however, a little girl was hit by a ball one of the guys missed.  She wasn't hurt badly-Praise the Lord, but her father wanted her to lay down the rest of the game.  I sat with her.  At one point she wanted to fall asleep, but she didn't!  She did really good.  By the end of the game she was sitting up.  I think her dad was going to take her to the doctors for a check-up to make sure she didn't have a concusion or anything else wrong.  Just really happy she was okay!!
What a "game"!   I hope the Thursday night game is much better!  Go Exploding Ducks!!
P.S.  Ahren didn't name his team and I haven't heard anyone shouting the team name yet-including myself.  I just can't bring myself to scream, "Go Exploding Ducks, GO!!"  Oh, and I should keep a tally of all the "fly" balls!  Hahahaha.

This is the first year that I put out flags for Memorial Day.  I don't know why I haven't done so before.  It is important for us to remember that many have died for the freedoms we so often take for granted.  I want to thank my brothers, serving in the Air Force and Army, among the many others, for their faithful service and sacrifice.  I appreciate you both and I'm so proud of you!  I also want to thank my father-in-law for his service during Vietnam; my brother-in-law, who served in the Marines and did his tour in Iraq; my cousin, who is currently serving in the Army; my husband's cousin in the Air Force; and Charlie, who gave the ultimate sacrifice.  You all hold a place of pride in our hearts and you deserve to be recognized.
It is my hope that my children will love America and recognize what a great country we've been blessed to be born into.  May they also learn to thank God for our freedom and pray that He will continue to bless our nation: that He will continue to shower His mercy on this land.
 Alexis de Tocqueville once said "...America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." 
In spite of many who desire to erase God from our country, God has continued His underserved grace.  May the "good" prevail!  Stay true to the right!

On the way home today, a firetruck pasted us with a fireman's bare leg and foot hanging out the window!  A rare and rather strange sight! 

First Blog

Well, I am now an official blogger!   I don't know what I'm going to blog about, but probably it will be a random jotting of thoughts.
It took a bit of time to come up with a name for my blog, but I like the one I've chosen.
