thinking about baseball

I just left a direct sales conference in Orlando (in fact I am still in the airport due to overloaded flights... I got bumped, so I am 2 hours late leaving, but have a free ticket in my pocket, so I am not complainin)
This conference... 70 women, 1 man 4 days, lots of ideas... it was a baseball theme, which might seem weird for a women's conference, but we're here in the middle of spring training for baseball, so it worked. Unlike any direct sales conference I have previously attended, this conference had all of its training from a biblical perspective....which I loved!

Through out the conference there were quotes, stats and ideas thrown at us that could relate from baseball to our own personal lives and businesses. But one thought kept returning to me. Have you ever had that happen where you hear something and it seems to echo in your head? Its like your brain becomes a raquetball court and that single thought just keeps bouncing around and around. That's what has happened to me here. Its not from scripture, but I believe that God can use the thoughts of man to accomplish HIS purpose for us. I am not sure where in my life this will take effect, but I believe there are several areas, once I absorb it more.

I'd love to hear how you think it would effect your life. Maybe it will inspire you as well. In the words of Babe Ruth:

"Don't let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game".

How would you translate that for your life? Well..looks like we're lining up to board the plan home.

Still pondering...
