What bugs me is the value that is placed on kid’s sports nowadays. We have several parents of kids that have been on coaching lessons since they were 4 years old. The families live for softball. Between the two families there are 6 kids, all travel across the southeast. What’s really sad is the parents grew up in church and now their kids only come to Easter and Christmas. I just can’t understand why a leather ball has more value than their on kids eternity. Who’s to say they arent worshipping their own way, but churches are closing right and left; where are these kids gonna turn when the world consumes them. Are they going to hope that softball is going to give them the life lessons on turning to God. I understand they will be taught strength/not quitting/team work, but where is this in relation to God.

Yeah…gotta bring religion into it.
