Softball for a Reason by Dr. Doug Talley
|
 Most years over Labor Day weekend you can find me in
Roanoke, Virginia, playing softball.
I've been doing this for more than 20 years. I started going with the Westlake Community
Church (where I was pastor) softball team because we were softball fanatics,
and the Interstate Church of God Softball Tournament (www.interstatesoftball.com) was
filled with challenging teams that we just knew we could beat. We always had an incredible time, and the
guys and fans who went always enjoyed being with each other and meeting players
from other churches.
Over the years players went with us who weren't
a Christian, and many of them found Christ at the weekend ballplayers
service. God gradually got through to us
and helped us realize the annual trip was about more than softball. continue reading |
