Obviously baseball is a huge thing in the Conde household. But, a proud mama has to brag!!! I have to tell you, there is nothing cooler than seeing a 7-year old knock a ball over the fence for an out of the park home run. Both teams give the kids a standing ovation when they do this, irregardless of whose team the kid is on. Last night, a boy on our team did it. However, Nicholas got oh so close. When the ball hit off the bat, my dad said "Uh-oh." Both Nicholas and Dylan have some serious incentives on the table awaiting their first out of the park homer. Anyhow, I really thought it was going. However, it bounced just shy of the fence and bounced over for a ground rule double. That was his first ground rule double though - pretty exciting stuff for a 7-year old (and his proud parents!). I have a feeling pretty soon we will be paying up :) The smile on his face last night was absolutely precious, as this was definitely the closest he has come.

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

1 Thessalonians 5:11
"So encourage each other and build each other up."
Romans 5:1-5
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
