While I spend a lot of time coaching in the summer and enjoying the game of baseball and the people around it, occasionally events outside of my own life give me the opportunity to remain grounded and grateful for all that I have.
The terrible shooting rampage at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado could not remind us enough of how we never know which day will be our last, or when we will see our loved ones for the last time. My own kids have been spending time with me this week while I went through a flare-up of my colitis. I have always said that once we choose to be parents, we have chosen a new life priority. Acting on that priority, which some may consider to be a sacrifice, is one of our greatest contributions we can make to the world around us.
Every year I come to realize more and more that God didn't put us here by ourselves. He put us with all of His other children so that we could share His love in whatever ways we can do best. Having gratitude for my family and friends helps me to handle any bumps (real or imagined) along my path.
My prayers go out to the families and victims in and around Aurora, Colorado. May they feel God hold them in His hands and comfort them.
