Thursday, July 16

5:13 a.m. - I was planning on getting up at 5:15 anyway, but I couldn't sleep since about 4 a.m., so I just decided to get up.  It's back to the softball diamond today...sort of.  I'm at the BettPlex, which is a turf facility.  I learned that I have six games today, at least five games tomorrow, four games on Saturday, and two games on Sunday.  So 17 games scheduled at $40 per game - $680?  With temps forecasted to reach 90 degrees this weekend, that turf is going to get very warm.

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...

Help me have... 

    a pure heart, that I may see thee;
    a humble heart, that I may hear you;
    a heart of love, that I may serve you;
    a heart of faith, that I may abide in you. 

                                                                     Amen
