Living His Mission » Baseball http://jeff.lhcsj.org Thoughts and stories from Jeff Gates on missional life Tue, 04 Jan 2011 05:42:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 Tuesday morning:) http://jeff.lhcsj.org/2009/05/05/tuesday-morning/ http://jeff.lhcsj.org/2009/05/05/tuesday-morning/#comments Tue, 05 May 2009 14:29:02 +0000 Jeff Gates http://www.rhythmsofgrace.us/jeffgates/?p=43 As usual, it’s been too long since I’ve written. Zach Greinke continues to rock. We were joking a week or so ago when he hadn’t given up an earned run that he could go 36-0 with 0.00 ERA. Well the ERA is blown(If you can call a now .40 ERA blown), but he’s still in line for the 36-0. Baseball…and certainly Royals baseball is for optimists. My family and I took Chris and Gail to their first major league game just over a week ago on the night he gave up his first run (unearned by the way) in some 38 innings. Great night. Beautiful weather. Great, nasty pitching by Greinke. Dollar dogs. But too windy for fireworks:(

Yesterday Chrystal and I celebrated our 18th anniversary. We took Chris and Gail to the airport for a much needed week away after coming through all his surgeries. Checked in at the office. Took a nap…sweet! Tilled the garden a bit before running out of gas. Chainsawed out some bushes I have wanted gone since we bought the place. Dinner and a movie. Nothing glam, but we hope to get away for a weekend soon. Way thankful to Jesus for 18 years with C!

That’s it…I think. Off to the building soon to check in with the kids (year teamers and interns). The young ones are starting to get married which is the preferred order of things and way cool.

Soon!
