Who's on First - The Classic by Abbott and Costello
This video is a hilarious skit that makes me laugh every time - its a story of, well just watch it!
If you have never heard of this comedy skit than I am sorry that you did not grow up in a Baseball Family. I am grateful that I played baseball since I was knee high, it has taught me so much about team dynamics and leadership. First time I can really remember baseball was playing on a Fall baseball team in Durham North Carolina. I was playing with my brothers team because I was either to young to play on my own team or since we have four kids total in my family and we all played sports it was easier to just tag along with his team. Those years of playing up were amazing because it forced me to be on level with guys who were two and three years older than me. Therefore I always was a decent player and I always had a great time. Just like anything I did not like the practice or the time that was invested into the sport. With every USSSA team or AAU team I always enjoyed the weekend tournaments and just being in constant competitive sporting. Now that I can look back on those days I can truly see how selfish I was because I always wanted to quit down deep. At the time I was fed up with the fact that I had lots of practice and "training", but now looking back that was only a small part of the much larger scene of my life. I can now see that the Lord was using my experience in baseball to mold me into the person that I am today. He has been using every single experience in my life to show my dependence on him, even when I wasn't listening and at most every time willingly running from his voice and his plan for me. At times I didn't want to listen to his direction or even acknowledged that he was the only reason that I had anything - and that he was the only way for my salvation. I would just rather cover my ears and continue to dive into the pleasures of this world.
Baseball is just a small part of my life but it has provided some amazing memories and experiences that have shaped my life. I know and firmly believe that God was and is putting together a plan for my life.
All is Great in the Lord
