Hope all is well. I went to a graduation party on Sunday. It was Beth Ann's son (your dad's brother's daughter' son ). Got that?? Every one is getting old. Atticus has probably grown so fast too.

]]> Comment on Baseball and Biblical Manhood by James Kubecki http://www.kubecki.com/blog/2008/05/30/baseball-and-biblical-manhood/#comment-3027 James Kubecki Fri, 30 May 2008 18:26:09 +0000 http://www.kubecki.com/blog/?p=384#comment-3027 I think that what he would say just what he said at the beginning of the article: "I will point out some ways in which we use the game of baseball in the lives of our sons to build Christian character and cultivate biblical masculinity." None of these lessons appears to be anything <i>exclusive</i> to men, nor is sport, nor is baseball, nor is godly character. But as you say, Dr. Stinson has boys. And they play baseball. So, this is what he does, and he shared it. Why? A lot of boys play baseball. A lot of boys need to be taught godliness of character, and a good context for doing it is baseball, which is traditionally (culturally) a boys' game. I think that what he would say just what he said at the beginning of the article:

What I wonder as I read the lessons though- is the author talking about these lessons - humility, winning and losing well, understanding authority, dealing with unfairness, etc- as "principles of manhood" because he just has sons? or are they values unique to men, that daughters don't need to learn as well? Or would he say daughters should be taught the lessons too, just not through baseball? :) Those are great articles, and a neat way to see the “classic” game.

13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

14 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord [b] have for his servant?”

Me: Who were the private investigator brothers from that awesome 80's show? Brett: You mean Simon & Simon? Me: Yeah, that's them. Which Simon was the one that always wore the cowboy hat? Brett: That's Rick. He had the street smarts. A.J. had the book smarts. That reminds me of a conversation I had with Brett just the other day at work.

The mental image of the Father turning his face from the Son as he hung on the cross causing darkness to engulf Calvary was one of the lasting images I took from the conference. It paints a new picture in my mind of how completely Christ was forsaken. I loved this comment when I heard it.
