Through my first four games back from my ACL injury, I’m 8-13 with 2 doubles, 2 HR, 7 RBIs and 1-0, 5 IP, 1H, 2 BB and 5 Ks. It’s good to be back! All glory to God! @Mules_Baseball@BaseballHelias@PrepBaseballMO
I noticed a bad habit creeping in a few months ago
At bedtime with our oldest, we read two stories every night, then we listen to an audio story
Gradually I found myself rushing through the process, getting frustrated with how long it would take to pick out a book, talk about the pictures, etc etc
And inevitably the book or audio stories would raise questions that my toddler wanted to talk through
And in my brain all of this took too long. "We aren't being efficient, we're wasting time, etc etc"
But then one day it struck me, "what the fck am I rushing around for? Why am I wishing away this precious time with my son? What would I do instead of hang out with him at bedtime...go downstairs and do nothing? What a joke."
My humble advice to dads reading this is to stop rushing things that don't actually need rushing
Do an extra story. Have that random conversation. Let them talk and let the minutes pass by together.
Because the good old days are happening right now, and it's a shame to wish them away
Whew watch to 0:39 seconds

Some things will always be worth fighting for. Family is at the very top of that list.
The costs of leadership:
1. You will have to make hard decisions that negatively affect people you care about.
2. You will be disliked, despite your best attempt to do the best for the most.
3. You will be misunderstood and won’t always have the opportunity to defend yourself.
