Pursuing Excellence with Joy & Regard for

Our Core Values:
(How we accomplish our Mission through our Method)
1. Work Hard in everything we do, both on and off the field, so that in all things we can honor Christ.
Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men."
2. Have Fun: this is why most of us started playing baseball in the first place. Remember your WHY!
1 Thes. 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this
is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
3. Be Respectful: respect does not have to be earned. It can be lost if we act dishonorably, but everyone
deserves your respect until proven otherwise.
1 Pet. 3:15 "...but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a
defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it
with gentleness and respect,..."
4. Serve Others, including God, your teammates, your family, your friends, your neighbors, and, yes,
even strangers. This is the essence of TEAM -- less Me and more We. God expects us
to serve.
Matt. 20:26-28 "But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, "and whoever
would be first among you must be your slave," "even as the Son of Man came
not be be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.""
Freddy and the Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. The Lord's team was playing Satan's team.
The Lord's team was at bat, the score was tied zero to zero, and it was the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs. They continued to watch as a batter stepped up to the plate named 'Love.'
Love swung at the first pitch and hit a single, because 'Love never fails.'
The next batter was named Faith, who also got a single because Faith works with Love.
The next batter up was named Godly Wisdom. Satan wound up and threw the first pitch.
Godly Wisdom looked it over and let it pass: Ball one. Three more pitches and Godly Wisdom walked because he never swings at what Satan throws.
The bases were now loaded. The Lord then turned to Freddy and told him He was now going to bring in His star player. Up to the plate stepped Grace. Freddy said, 'He sure doesn't look like much!'
Satan's whole team relaxed when they saw Grace.
Thinking he had won the game, Satan wound up and fired his first pitch. To the shock of everyone, Grace hit the ball harder than anyone had ever seen! But Satan was not worried; his center fielder let very few get by.
He went up for the ball, but it went right through his glove, hit him on the head and sent him crashing on the ground;
The roaring crowds went wild as the ball
Continued over the fence . . For a home run!
The Lord's team wo n!
The Lord then asked Freddy if he knew why Love, Faith and Godly Wisdom could get on base but couldn't win the game. Freddy answered that he didn't know why.
The Lord explained, 'If your love, faith and wisdom had won the game, you would think you had done it by yourself. Love, Faith and Wisdom will get you on base but only My Grace can get you Home:
'For by Grace are you saved, it is a gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast.' Ephesians 2:8-9
Psalm 84:11, 'For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.'
I do Love God. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I am nothing, but with him:
'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.'
Phil 4:13
