Greetings Dear Reader,
For those who do not already know, March 26th is
opening day this year. If you are
unaware of what opening day is, it is the official first day of the regular
baseball season. For the third year in a
row, all thirty teams will start their season on the same day. It is the Spring right of the impossible becoming
the possible.
I realize there are those who do not like baseball. Whatever your reason, there are things about
the game that anyone can appreciate. The
hardest thing to do in all of sports happens in baseball. Batters attempt to hit a ball moving at 95
miles per hour in 1/10 of a second. This
is impossible yet they do so every game.
The impossible becomes possible in every season. There are no-hitters where the pitcher
achieves the impossible. In some seasons
there are perfect games where no one even reaches base. Even rarer is the immaculate innings where a
pitcher retires the side on nine pitches; three strikeouts.
There are video records of impossible catches, throws, and runs
that leave us scratching our heads over how it was done. Then amidst all of these is the most mundane
and glorious of impossibilities. Every
moment in baseball contains all the potential of every possibility in
play. Each pitch signifies a moment when
potential impossibilities can become reality.
The life we lead is so attached to the potential of the
impossible. I do not wish to stretch the
baseball analogy too far. I do wish to use
it for us to see the great parallel that is the life of following Christ. I wish to spend some time pondering the impossibilities
that make up our faith and following. If
you do not share my faith, Dear Reader, you are still welcome in the
conversation.
If you will walk with me for a bit, we can examine how foolishly
impossible our faith is. We can also
see, like baseball, how the Father makes the impossible possible. We will consider the depth and length to
which the Father goes to request our company on the journey and guide us home. You are welcome to ask all the questions you
need and share your thoughts with me. As
always, if we walk together in love, anything is possible.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

store.”
