Don't really understand Baseball, especially Professional Baseball. How did it ever get to be America's favorite pastime? Traci loves it, especially St.Louis Cardinal Baseball. Me not so much! I find it akin to watching paint dry. I will go to baseball games, but really hate what the enormous salaries have done to the game. Between the cost of the seats (really? How can 2 seats in Section 400, 2 rows from the top be worth $80!), the $5 Hot Dogs and the $8 Nacho enhance the game. Watch a guy who just signed a 1 year, $12M contract for 2012 strikeout twice and pop out 3 times. I could do that for less money if they want! :)
Give me Girls 12 and under Softball or Little Kids T-Ball any time. It is fun to watch and qualifies as Rick Jeremiah' Favorite Pastime! Just sayin!

"God Can"!
Cal's new book "God Can" was rolled out to the congregation this past weekend. We attended a book unveiling party on Thursday night for the new book and got to meet the other folks that are in the book. Yes, I am in the book which is a still a scary thought in my mind. This journey that I've started, travelling from the "Old" Rick to the "New" Rick is still hard to get my head wrapped around. Don't get me wrong, I like the "New" Rick, but reliving where I used to be in my life and the direction that my life is now taking me is still surreal to me. I just notice I said "the direction" in the last sentence which really indicates that someone else (GOD) is driving the bus that is now my life and that I have absolutely no control over my life.
It was very scary reading about my past, PG (Pre-God) life even though I lived it. It immediately trigger the jump and run impulse that was part of the PG Rick. Screw-up, jump and run, that was me! Always running from what was right, running from the truth, running from my Sin. The new book triggered that old, little voice in my head, the voice that whispers people are going to reject you once they know who you used to be, your past life is too gross for those that associate you now to not cause them to reject you.....!
I am humbled by this experience which is a total reversal of my typical makeup. God is good, God saves people, God Saved me.............!
