Dads...kids are shaped by what you consistently model. If church is optional, it's seen as unnecessary. If prayer is rare, it'll never be prioritized. If you pray, they'll pray. If you forgive, they'll forgive. Faith is not a single event. It's a pattern✝️

Today on Palm Sunday it hit me.....Jesus came into Jerusalem, celebrated as a "King". 5 days later, the exact same humans cried out for His crucifixion. Great example of how quick human loyalty can shift. Good to know God's never does🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@NickStevensHS For the past 2 years none of our basketball/baseball kids have gotten to scrimmage baseball & we also had to delay start of baseball season (& we lost 1st rd of basketball playoffs)…even worse for schools where basketball advances multiple rounds. Something needs to adjust.
@NickStevensHS Spring sports have gotten the shaft for years, especially the past 2 yrs as basketball was extended an extra week. Severely impacts small schools (now 1A-3A & some 4A) where you must share most of your athletes to compete in all sports! No reason spring should be 9 weeks/bball 13
Congrats to our Lady Cards Golf team on making history, finishing as State Runners Up in the 3A State Championships! Colby Badgett finishes 2nd individually and Sr. Sophie Harris wins the Farm Bureau Sportsmanship award. Great job ladies!
A catcher hitting 60 home runs is an amazing narrative. But here’s another:
In July, it looked like Aaron Judge might need surgery. The Yankees were preparing to sell off players in a worst case scenario, according to @martinonyc. Bellinger, Grisham, Williams all could’ve been gone. They wouldn’t have added Bednar, McMahon, etc. Judge is so valuable that the Yankees considered raising the white flag on their season if he couldn’t play.
Now they prepare for Game 162 with a chance to win the division.
@BenVerlander Except there’s also a guy NOT named Cal Raleigh who leads in nearly every major offensive category…who has been intentionally walked 36 times (most in a season in AL history). Raleigh has been amazing but he’s been the 2nd best player in the AL this year. Aaron Judge is MVP!
My favorite quote about the MVP race continues to be “if you dropped Cal Raleigh’s OPS by 180 points, he’d be average; if you dropped Aaron Judge’s OPS by 180 points, he’d be Cal Raleigh”
The AL MVP race is going to be awesome coming down to the last few weeks. Cal Raleigh (6.0 WAR as a S/H catcher; leading league w/ 54 HR, 115 RBI) and Aaron Judge (8.1 WAR, leading league in Runs, BB, Avg, OBP, Slg, OPS) are both worthy! Love them both, amazing for baseball!!
