Some of our high school students asked me in the fall if there was a place they could use as a prayer room... even with space being as limited as it is, that is a hard one to turn down!
The baseball team suffered a hard-fought 2-0 loss today against their stiffest competition in-conference... Christ school was the team we played the day after Lana went to Heaven last year; here's a portion of my CaringBridge entry on that game: "The first thing Tim has done after every game this season is march into his mom’s room to describe every detail of the game (and his performance) to her… it hit him hard to realize that she wouldn’t be there this time.
It gave me an opportunity to tell him that for all we know she watched this game, and that we are both as proud of him as any parents could be of their son… you see, even though Tim went 2-for-3 at the plate, he had made his first error of the year (the team’s only one in the game) with two outs in the top of the fifth, and it had allowed the other team to score its only two runs and tie the game… at his next at-bat, he slapped the first strike into right field scoring a much-needed insurance run (and then stole third!) …I let him know that it made me even prouder that his RBI came on the heels of a costly error… everybody blows it from time to time; only those with a heart like his mother’s are able to bounce right back!"
