Play Ball

What a wonderful night it was for baseball.  Hurricane Earl stayed away but invited some cooler temperatures for a few days.  So when we headed across the river last night to Citizen Bank Park, we didn't have to worry about the heat or the intense sunshine.  My son Buz & I attended last night's Phillies game by an invitation from D.S. and his dear wife.  Wow!  What Seats!  I have NEVER sat that close to the field before!  You would have to be a player, or in the ground crew to get any closer.  Thank You Bro. D.

One thing though, when you are sitting that close, you have to be on guard for line-drive, foul balls.  My normal seating situation never caused any concern for such a hazard.  The only hazards were low flying aircraft & nose-bleeds.  But when you are that close to the action you have to pay attention to what is going on, be alert & on guard.

That is also so true about the work of the ministry.  There are many distant spectators in the stadium, who keep far enough away, and so are seldom on guard, seldom spiritually alert, and rarely engaged in the action.  Get out of the upper-decks because it's time to take the field and play ball.
