On baseball and kids

This past Saturday, our 10yo son’s baseball team, the Red Sox, went up against the Nationals for the second time this season. In the earlier game this year, his team beat them, 11-7. Our senior pastor’s 10yo son is on the Nationals team, and Pastor is the coach.

Our son came up to Pastor before the game and asked him, “Are you a preacher every day?”

The pastor replied, “Yes, but today I’m also a coach.”

“Oh,” said our son. He thought for a moment, then added with a wicked grin, “Well, in that case, you’re going down.

In retrospect, perhaps it was not the kind of bragging to do before a man of God. The Red Sox lost, 7-2.

I think it's funny that he said that to Pastor Lee. I'm sure Pastor Lee chuckled, too. Too bad they lost the game, though.
