There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.
You have to have a lot of little boy in you to play baseball.
Baseball is like driving, it’s the one who gets home safely that counts.
Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he’s losing; nobody wants to quit when you’re ahead.
Hearing
False promises
Enemy in darkness
Truth no longer hidden
Jesus
Embracing
Faithful whisper
Leaving transgression’s darkness
Showered with daily grace
Jesus
Witnessing
Mercy’s forgiveness
Redemption’s Holy covenant
Hope transforms all darkness
Jesus

Discipleship is based on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on adherence to a belief or a creed.
From John 21:15-17: “When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?’ He said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed My lambs.’ A second time He said to him, ‘Simon son of John, do you love Me?’ He said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord; You know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Tend My sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon son of John, do you love Me?’ Peter felt hurt because He said to him the third time, ‘Do you love Me?’ And he said to Him, ‘Lord, You know everything; You know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed My sheep.'”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
Hidden in forest’s depths
Creator’s kingdom reigns
Moving with quiet breath
Feeding nature’s unbroken chain
Spontaneous landscape
Creator’s rhythm sings
Breathing beauty’s freshness
Witnessing all that summer brings
Trees towering above
Creator fills each scene
Overflowing with peace
Reaching to heavens, grass so green
Tranquil waters roam free
Creator’s grace gives back
Nourishing youngest plants
Equipping wilderness backpack
Busy traffic drives by
Immune to forest’s sigh
Missing treasures within
Creator frames sunset’s goodbye

The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those who sang the best.
A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.
John James Audobon (1785-1851) was a French-American artist, naturalist, and ornithologist. His most famous work, entitled “The Birds of America”, captured North American birds with a detailed collection of 435 hand-colored prints.
From Habakkuk 2:4: “Look at the proud! Their spirit is not right in them, but the righteous live by their faithfulness.”
Coming to worship
God inviting all
Praising Son above
Each saint finds landfall
Praying in earnest
God hears every Word
Lasting grace comes forth
Truth’s faithful password
Walking righteous path
God light’s trusted way
Raising up His Son
Faith nourished each day
Singing every psalm
God opens each door
Welcoming with peace
Hope ready to soar
Loving with each breath
God’s will never fails
Blessing at sunrise
Spirit set to sail
From 1 Corinthians 13:4-8: “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.”
