Good News

Today, I have Good News for you!  Jesus is Risen?  Well that too, but it is the week when the Baseball Season begins.  The long purgatory of winter is over.  Football and basketball tried to fill in, but they are only fill ins.  Now you say that I am a wretch for making a bigger deal of baseball season than Jesus being risen?  Well, which is the tougher task for God?  It was easy for God to raise Jesus from the dead.  It was long ago planned because we could not save ourselves from our own sin or ineptitude.  It is much harder, maybe even impossible, for God to save some baseball teams from having a most inept season, ending up in the cellar of the standings.  Can God save the Houston Astros?  The Denver Rockies?  The old and injured New York Yankees?  And of course there is always the Cubs, who have almost forever been beyond the saving powers of God.  You might ask, "Where is God?"  Well, God is in the seats behind home plate at A T and T ballpark in San Francisco where my Giants play.  God prefers to be with the winners.  If God and Jesus are one, as I believe, then Jesus is a winner.  Believe.  Happy Easter.

  1. Father, When a batter makes the sign of the cross before stepping up to the plate, is he seeking God's help to hit the ball or avoid a beaning or is he simply bearing witness to everyone of his Christian faith?
