A Very Late Night

Josh did not pitch last night after all. They left Port St. Lucie at 9:30 PM and should have arrived here around midnight. Because of a head-on collision and a fatality on the two lane highway they were traveling on , they did not get back until almost 4 AM. Thankfully, the coordinator who drove the "shuttle" dropped Josh off here at the house so I did not have to drive down to the field and pick him up at o'dark-thirty. 

We got about 3 hours of sleep before it was time to get up and get back to the field. No rest for the weary. Josh is scheduled to pitch this afternoon against the Reds, who mercifully are here in Sarasota. As far as I know he is still on the Norfolk roster, but will be pitching for Bowie this afternoon. Please pray that despite his exhaustion he will go out with strength and confidence and that the Lord bless him with an excellent outing. 

Although we were disappointed he didn't get to pitch last night, we are so thankful that the Lord brought him home safely and know that God is working according to our good and His glory. As you go about your day, keep the family members of the people who died in that crash in your prayers. It is frightening to think how easily that could be someone in your family. 

Have a blessed Tuesday!!!
