Went to a ball game last night for the first time with the family. Good fun. TEKsystems (my contracting agency/employer) provided the food, a kids play area, plus game tickets as an employee appreciation event.It's been a long time since I went to a baseball game.
Saw a bat break.
Kids didn't want to leave until they got a baseball like some of the other kids in the stands.
We left in the 9th inning with the score at 3-3.
I loved the public singing of the Star Spangled Banner and the honoring of the flag.
It was amazing to sit for 2+ hours, together with a bunch of other people and just . . . rest. It was kind of like church, only better. The "worship service" was interactive and full-orbed, with many sub-sermons happening concurrently within the main sermon. Lots of noise and activity, coordinated and spontaneous, that ended with everyone leaving with the point driven home:
Qohelet's summation (in Ecclesiastes in the Bible) is true:
Love God - Embrace Life - Live a better tomorrow than today
