8/8/12
Busch Stadium. Home of the St. Louis Cardinals. A sea of red! There’s nothing
quite like rooting for the home team. It’s easy to get caught up in the hoopla as
strains of "Take me out to the ballgame" fill the air. Opening pitches from “adorable bald children who are battling cancer, trivia
prompts and even Kiss Cam. (not to mention the hot dogs, peanuts, nachos &
$$ cokes) and lower temps all added to the fervor.
We
weren’t FANS as such. Fans, certainly, but such fervor was incredible even for hubby, who has followed Cards since childhood and keeps up with stats and such. We were
there hoping that Matt Cain (former HHS baseball player) would pitch for the SF
Giants or at least friends Michael and Lane’s son-in-law, Jason Motte would
pitch for the Cards. Neither happened so we were disappointed. Yet game experience was fun anyway. I just tend to get more
caught up in the people aspect rather than in the score. Which is a good thing
because the Cards lost 15-0.
Isn’t
it great that one can enjoy life even without a check in the “win” column?
A great treatise on prayer and the video makes me "puddle" everytime I see it.

Banana Split after all
Dancing again!
Praises!!! I was able to dance at Halle and Kyle's wedding.
Prayer Requests
Praises for peace that passes understanding throughout the healing process. It was certainly there during ALL the surgeries thanks to the fervent prayers of many. Cancer is always in one's rear-view but so is trust in the Lord--- for all His children!
