Christians should be ready when needed
Years ago, on a warm, summer night at a girls softball game, I overheard a player complaining to her coach, “… but I don’t want to play outfield!” Just then I heard the smack of the bat. The ball flew over the pitcher and sailed over second base. Runners on the loaded bases began sprinting. There came a shout from the outfield, “Mine! It’s mine!” The outfielder jogged forward a few steps, opened her glove and caught the fly ball. The inning was over, four scores averted.
