Church league softball
For a few years I played church league softball, and it was a mess. This is supposed to be the body of believers coming together to have a good time and play a fun sport. Yet what ended up happening was that it was a bunch of overweight bald-men who wanted to relive the good-old days when they played little league and the score mattered.
If the umpire (who was a volunteer) called a strike and it was a ball the batter would freak out and players would scream at each other if they missed a catch.
Really?
It is CHURCH LEAGUE SOFTBALL. It isn’t that important. No one is going to hell because they didn’t win the game.
Or maybe they think they are? Maybe someone taught the players there is a cosmic scorekeeper who likes to keep track of your points and if you have enough points you get into heaven, and if you don’t have enough points then you don’t. Almost a Karma idea of God.
God doesn’t work that way, God doesn’t keep score. God doesn’t play by human rules or human score keeping methods instead the Bible talks about that all those who call on the name of Jesus will be saved.
No matter what, anything, no matter the church league softball score anyone who believes in Jesus is saved.

oh yeah.
hey-batter-batter-batter…swiiing batter!
O, the good old days when the world could be made better with big-league chew, green m&m’s & a pizza hut personal pan pizza.
Now that I’m an adult, I don’t think I would want to relive that though. not for acting childish, but for not wanting to wear such tight pants that causes thigh scrapage when you slide into home.
It’s truee that God doesn’t keep score.
He likes hockey better anyway…because of the cross-check.
Have you checked your cross today? (not aimed at the author of this blog, but to the readers…)
