Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Tuesday, June 15

 

 

 

Grandsons Jordan (left) and Nate (second from right) practice before a game.

Going to a baseball game is not one of my favorite activities – but we do enjoy watching our grandsons play on our church’s red team once or twice a summer. (Our church also has a grey team.)

 

 

Nate is #24

 

 

Jordan is #9

The cheering section

 

 

Ken sees coaching as a ministry, thus the quote on his shirt “preparing for rain” means preparing the soil and planting seed in these young men’s lives.

They are having a very good summer – but lost this game.

 Guide me down the road of your commandments; I love traveling this freeway!

A Collection of Pictures From Mid-June

 

 

Ian

I still have a few photos from the second week in June when our youngest grandsons were here. They love when I allow them to “clean” with a cloth and a bottle of Windex.

 

 

Jesse trying on Josh’s new high school football helmet.

 

 

 

 

Cockbird in our yard

 

 

When checking how to spell Ring-necked Pheasant (I wasn’t sure if a dash was needed) I learned that they were brought to our county from Russia or Asia.

 

 

Our yucca is blooming

 

 

 

 

Daylilies

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fungus growing in our yard

 

 

 

 

I heard this truck long before Geoff Stoner entered our driveway

 

 

After delivering Double Clutch, a magazine advertising the Macungie Antique Truck Show (featuring the TFC chapel) he was on his way.

   Stand in awe of God’s Yes. Oh, how he blesses the one who fears God!

Psalm 128:4 (The Message)

 

 

 

 

Complaining is Not a Fruit of the Spirit

 

Check it out in Galatians 5:22. It’s not on the list.

That’s what I have been thinking about as I prepare a message for a future date.

Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It’s the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts.

James 3:13 (The Message)

 

 

 

You Are Invited

 

 

 

 

The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise.

Proverbs 23:24 (New Living Translation)

 

 

The Marriage of Kevin and Becca

Saturday, June 5

 

Part 10 – The Reception

 

 

Toast by Kevin’s twin brother Neil

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Toast by Becca’s sister Hannah

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dinner is Served.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cutting the Cake

 

 

 

 

Father-Daughter Dance 

 

 

Mother-Son Dance

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because we had a two-hour drive (and needed to get granddaughter Jana at a friends house) we left as soon as we got our cake. On our way to the car we discovered that my brother, Dale, his wife, Dot, and their daughter, Sarah, did the same thing.

 

 

So ended a wonderful day.

Blessings to Kevin and Becca
