Botswana and the Diamond

This week my son Tyler and ten others are traveling in Botswana working with several local churches. They will be involved in engaging local people, encouraging national and American Christians, and learning more about themselves as individuals. Over the years, Tyler has been blessed with many overseas opportunities to experience God's love and God's people. Check out the team blog at www.trib3missions.wordpress.com.

With Tyler gone, Brendan and I are going to the Diamond each day for the Richmond Flying Squirrels baseball camp. Several players each day are conducting five stations over a three hour period to work with local players in the community to develop their skills in baseball. As a person who hosts and runs camps, I was most impressed at how the players fully engaged the kids and worked with them. It created a great first day impression. Besides a free t-shirt, the Squirrels are providing free tickets each night of this weeks home stand. Have Fun, Go Nuts!
