All Star Break

I love baseball.  It's my favorite sport.  I love watching it and most of all, I love hearing the stories of the players.  It's the all star break and the All Star game is tonight... I'll be watching it with my son and some friends.  Last night they had the Home Run Derby... that's one of the coolest things ever to watch guys hit a baseball almost 500 feet.  All the buzz was around a guy named Josh Hamilton.  His story is as big as his bat.  He hit 28 HR in the first round... amazing.  But the most amazing thing was that he was out of baseball for a while because of a drug and alcohol addiction.  Great story of God's grace and second chances and how one man is using his gifts and abilities to share his faith.  Read more of his faith story here.  I can't wait to see the All Star Game tonight.  I'm a die hard Red Sox fan, but I have to tell you that I'm glad to see the game being played at Yankee Stadium in it's last year before being torn down.
