I could not be more proud of this Taylor baseball team.

Their season ended today at the NAIA World Series, but they competed with grit, faith, and excellence to the very end. This picture says so much: after the final out, they gathered in prayer, together.

I asked Ben Humrichous - a former NAIA player who just competed in the Final Four - if he has an appreciation for that unlikely journey.

I was moved by his answer.

"When the buzzer sounded all I wanted to say was praise God - for the gift that this was... By God's grace... It's unlikely... God's sovereign hand being that in that... He did so many incredible things... God's grace just supplied what I need."
