Royals 7, Cardinals 2

It was a great night at the ball park. Thank you to those who got us the nice tickets. I love going to the K. It isn't even always about who wins and loses. The guys are so talented, it is amazing to watch them make the plays.

I am a Kansas City fan. I am also a St. Louis fan. My mom was from Kirkwood. We grew up there in the summers when I was a kid.

At the game tonight there were 35,000 people. At least half of them were Cardinal fans. We got to be nice to cardinal fans sitting in front of us. It is always good to be nice to people, even when they are not rooting for the home team. Grace is always good to give. Polish dogs, nachos and more. It was all very good.

After the game, the Friday night fireworks show, paid for by Hy Vee. Hey, Hi Vee, save the money on the fireworks and charge me less for groceries. Seriously, it was an awesome show.

We ran into Adam W at the game. Also saw Cam and Bean. Great boys, all three. I am so proud of all three of them. Their parents, and our church have raised some great kids.

Rain. Yes it started to rain. Just as we got to the car. The rainstorm held off until we got out of the stadium and into the cover of the car. Now at home, it is raining cats and dogs.

A great night at the ball park. Thank you.

We are so blessed to be able to enjoy such luxuries of life as a professional baseball game. Never take such blessings for granted.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Jeanne and I were at the game last night, too. We sat in amongst a crowd of VERY rowdy Cardinals fans. We bit our lip most of the evening, never wanting to to get into a war of words. It was enjoyable to see the Royals kick some butt. Those Cardinals fans ran out of the stands when the game ended, too upset to stay for the fireworks. Funny how some folks are.

I learned from you that sports rivalry is an opportunity to show kindness and grace to people at the most unexpected of times. I think we forget sometimes that Jesus even loves Yankees fans with all His heart, and so should we.
