The preseason tournament showed up a lot of weaknesses in the Randleman Reds today. I had a scrimage game last week with Level Cross which we lost 8-6. We lost our first game today by the same score, then were defeated 22-0, the lost our third contest 9-7. We need to work on our defense, especially how to execute a pickle, where to throw a ball, and holding runners on base.
Ojne player was like a super star in practice when it came to handling ground balls but in four game he has commited an error on ever play he has been involved with. What gives?
We will work hard in the next two weeks to overcome our weaknesses and maybe we can win a few games this year.

The perfect boiled egg
Put eggs in pot and fill pot with enough water to cover eggs. bring pot of water to a boil, turn heat off, remove pot, cover, and let sit until water is cool enough to stick a finger in comfortbaly, about 15-20 minutes.
Easy way to peel is to gentle crack shell, roll egg arounf until shell is thouroughly broken into tiny pieces. shell should come of quickly.

Ehtical Dilemma
A few months back,a woman joined our church. Her and her sister lived near the church and both had a history of drugs so trying to live a Christian life is really a struggle for her. The lady has a young son who owns a pick=up truck with huge tires. One day someone took the truck (which has no tag) and spun wheelies all around their property, the church property, and the business property across the street.
This incident took place during the time I was working to clear the church property and I was at the church 3 or 4 hours every day. One day when I went over to the church property to work, I saw the sons truck sitting mired in mud, facing the church, and it was obvious that the truck was the vechicle that was used to cause the damage to the three properties.
The owner of the business, who also happens to be the owner of the house this lady, her sister and her son lives in, dedcided to sue for property damage.
Instead of owning up to their misdeeds, the lady and her son have chosen to deny culpability for the damage, instead to blame the incident on a visitor who just happened to get stuck in the mud after a recent rain.
If one had seen the propery damage it would be immediately obvious that the damage was not caused accidentalily as a mud trail led from where the truck is normally parked unto the street then into the church property back through where the truck is normally parked backinto the strert, and again and again. One one of the circles the truck veers wider, causing damage to the church property and to the propertyat the rental home. At one point the driver of the truck spins the truck around and is abandoned. The next day the truck is moved again causing more damage to the rental house property, the church property, and the property of the busines next door.
If I there is a court case and I am called as a witness, I stay to lose my assistant baseball coach and two or three members of the church. It should have been upon the lady and her son to tell the truth and had they done so then I would have been willing to work a deal to help them pay off the $150.00 the business is seeking to repair the damage.
But instead of telling the truth the family next door has chosen to deny any responsibility and has chosen instead to vacate the house and place their belongings in a storage unit until they can find a place to live.
If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

Dirty laundry
There was a man who used to attend the same church I do. At the end of the service, when the pastor makes his way to the exit to greet the congregation as they leave, this man would always pop out of his seat and beast the pastor to the exit to greet the people first.
His only job in the church was to schedule the Sunday School teachers but he never did and it fact refused to do so when the pastor asked him to do so.
He contributed $2.00 a week to the church yet he expected the church to buy his gas so he could attend and two or three times a year he expected the church to give him two or three hundred dollars for his electric bill.
His wife was listed on facebook as one of my wife's friends yet she never responded to my wife. After a year of being ignored, this man's wife was one of the many people my wife defriended from her facebook account. This man hah the nevre to call the preacher and complain that my wife had insulted them. I apologized in a letter to him and his family but the letter upset him so he complained to the preacher about that.
He was not attended the church since Christmas yet still has pocession of vital church documents and I wrote to him and asked him to return the documents. He called the preacher and claimed I insulted him by referred to him as Mr. rather than by his first name. He told the preacher that he was thinking about returning to church but he wasn't going to now. He told the preacher that I was too uppity and I need to remember who it was that nominated me for Deacon. he told the preacher that I should have called him instead of writing a letter and the preacher thinks I should have visited the man at his home.
First of all, I had no need to apologize to the man over anything. I didn't defriend him. Secondly, I did not call the man as his listed phone number is no longer a working number and I have not been given his cell phone number. Thirdly, I don't have time to drive from Randleman to Thomasville to retrieve sonething it is his responsibility to return to the church. He might not even be at home when I got there and I don't have a phone number to call and see if he would be home.
Being the Deacon is no great honor. Before I was asked to serve as Deacon, I mowed the grass at ythe church with my own lawn mower, volunteered to turn on the heat or a/c, even though I often had to get up at 3 am in order to do so. Over half the offering on Sunday mornings were given my me. If there were repair work to be done at the church (like the out building needing painted, the bell tower repaired or the floor in the church needed replacing I was the only member to show up to do the work.
If the church wants me to be the bad guy in this saga, I can resign as Deacon, quit teaching Sunday School, take my lawn care equipment home, let the preacher come to church 30 minutes early ever service to turn on the heat or a/c, quit video taping the services for the shut-ins, and just drop in two dollars a week into the offering plate.
But I'm not playing the devils game.

Obama's 13-year-old daughter spends springbreak in Mexico
What, the USA not good enough for the Presidents daughter?
co-worker enjoys smoking
wMy wife said one of her co-workers said they would never quit smoking because they enjoyed it too much. I said her co-worker is either a liar or delusional. No one enjoys smoking.
Smoking is expensive, smelly, inconvenient, embarrassing, and unhealthy. At $3.00 to $5.00 a pack in NC, the average smoker spends $30.00 a week or more on cigarettes. Most people would be excited to receive a 75 cent or dollar raise an hour in their paycheck. There are some people who attend my church who smoke. They burn one just before coming in and they reek. Of course they do not realize it but the stench is strong nonetheless. The smell stays in the home, on their clothing that's hanging in the closet, and in their car.
Inconvenient is an understatement. Now that smokers are forced outside to smoke, one has to stand in freezing temperatures, in the rain, in the scorching heat. in the dark. alone sometimes. just to have a smoke. Another inconvenience is wanting a cigarette and not being able to have one. Smokers can get a little antsy, sometimes a little short with their temper, and somnetimes just plain rude until they get their smoke fix. Sometimes smokers will just disappear off the job while they satisfy their cravings.
Any of the above three reasons can cause one to be embarrassed. Knowing that one smells bad can be embarrassing. Occasionally a smoker has to choose between purchasing a pack of smokes, lunch, or some gas for his car or a hot ashe falls off the cigarette and burns a small hole in a persons clothing.
Sometimes the need to smoke a cigarette can lead to embarrassing social situations, especially if the smoker is the only one in the group who does not smoke.
Of course, there are the health concerns too. Not all smokers get cancer but almost all smokers have more severe and more frequent colds. As a smoker ages, breathing problems become more and more severe. And yes, the risks of getting severe illnesses like enphusima and cancer dramatically increase and a persons life expentancy decreases.
Is there anything in the above statements that a person can point to and say "I enjoy that?' No, I didn't think so. What a person is really saying when he says he enjoys smoking too much to quit is that the withdrawal systems are to harsh to deal with. There are only too ways to make withdrawal symtoms go away and that is to have another cigarette or quit. Making a withdrawal symtom go away only takes one or two cigarettes, while quitting takes two to three months.
Quitting is painfull (not quite as much as dieing from lunch cancer though) almost to the point of being unbearable. No one enjoys that so it will appear in the smokers eye that not quitting is more enjoyable that quitting. In the short term I would have to agree it is so but within just a few months of quitting, ones health begins to improve.
The head pounding nicotine withdrawals subside after a few weeks, the coughing up phlem and the stopped up nose clears in about a month, the thoughs of a cigarette almost completely disappear in about three months and after that one can lead an almost normal life.
The desire for a smoke never ever really leaves a smoker but the truth is, an ex smoker can not ever have another one. The addiction is too powerful. And the shame of cigarette additction is that it isn't just a physical addiction. The physical part dictates that the smoker has a cigarette about every two hours during the day. But certain activities can trigger the need to smoke more often, like talking on a phone, driving a car, drinking a beer or coffee, eating, or socializing with friends.
Then there are those awkard moments when one doesn't know what to do with their hands. Some eat, some fidget, while other smoke. That is the mental part of the addiction. Being a three-pronged habit and addiction makes it extremely difficult to give up.
Even if you don't, you will never really enjoy smoking. It is too demanding and nasty of a habit to enjoy.

Politics or skin color?
Obama could not have been elected President of the United States by only African-Americans. For this upcoming election, it seems that those opposed to his reelection are being accused of being racist. Some are. Both racism works both ways. Some people voted for Obama in 2008 based on his skin color and some are supporting Obama for 2012 for the very same reason. Some are opposed to Obama based on his skin color as well.
The trouble with medicare is that one is forced into the system not because of age but because it exists. One cannot get private insurance once one reaches 65 unless it is through an employer in a group plan or one pays an exoribtant amount for what few policies do exist. For reasons such as I stated with medicare, many people are against Obama's policies. What to some people is preceived to be a threat to the American way of life is looked at by others as the solution to our problems.
On one hand it does seem cruel and unamerican to have citizens living that are unprotected by some form of insurance but it is also unamerican to ditate to people what choices they have to make in life. The more one does for another, the less that person does for himself.
Some of Obamas policies seem to offer solutions for current problems yet seem also to foster dependence on the government futher down the line.
So it is quite possible that some people are opposed to Obama based on his policies alone. If Obamas
plans are to orchestrate the subtle overthrow of our current economic system as some claim, he is clever in pullin off his con of the American people and really needs to be defeated. If his policies are haphazard with no scheme behind them, just knee-jerk reactions to current issues, he needs to be defeated because he is an incompetent idiot.
After all is said and done though, it all boils down to whether you like the guy or not. Obama is a likeable fellow and dispite what else he does, he will be difficult to defeat, harder still if he were white.
The reason I say that is this: he is a Democrat and has the majority of black vote anyway and the small percentage of whites opposed to Obama because he has a dark skin tone would not be so disposed to vote against him, making him a stronger candidate.
So is it possible for Obama to lose this election because he is black? It is indeed possible that a few voters could defeat Obama because of their prejudicial attitudes. Will that be the reason Obama is defeated? I hope that is not the reason we change the party of the President in the 2012 election.

This is reality
I love baseball, which you should know about me if you read my blog with any regularity. This year I am able to coach a little league team, the team from Randleman. coaching is fun and I am having a good time but the reality of the situation is 65 year old men should not be coaching baseball. At least this 65 year old man should not be coaching baseball.
I do have a 22 year old assistant.
Our first game is April 14.
My only expectation is that will will have some fun.

City of Refuge
The children from the City of Refuge could not make the services last night but we had a great service anyway. If you don't know who or what the City of Refuge is I suggest you look them up. Fantastic ministry, great kids with a sad past but a great future.

stupid stuff on the web
Notice how much stupid stuff is on the web? Kim K and clan pose for stupid pictures, Beiber and Beaver sue each other, basketball stasr eats cookie off his forehead are just a few of the time wasting stories on the web today. Some of the other stories are the same story that was shown yesterday and the day before that and the day before that. Surely there is something interesting in the world besides this stuff.
I went to a church last night and heard some good preaching and some good singning and heard about 104 people getting saved in one service somewhere this week. I like that.
A local sportscaster died and its in the news for a week. It's a shame anyone has to die (except for some people like not so nice people, famous or not) but it is appointed for all to die. If the fat opinionated sportscaster wanted to live he would have taken better care of himself. It's great he loved being a grandpa and I believe all grandfathers should enjoy that part of their life.
I don't need to read articles on five things women are better at then men. I would love to read an articleabout how the unselfish act of a woman saved the life, or changed the life of another person for the betterment of at least one of them.
One of the best stories one will ever read on the web is one wrtitten by Chris Chase in which actually praise him for. Hasn't happened yet and probably never will but it would be big news.
I met a man last night who was 87 but looked not a day over a young looking 65 year old who is recovering from prostate cancer surgery. He said him and his wife were married in the little chapel of Brightwood Baptist in 1962. I once met a woman in her nineties at the doctors office who was just waiting on her momma to finish her doctor visit.
One of the preacher who sat in attendance at last night service has a daughter who lives in Arizona. This week she went missing and her residence is now considered a crime scene.
What I am trying to say is I care more about what is happening to you then I care about Justin vs. Jousting. I draw more inspiration from a man who married 50 years ago then i do from the kardaisians taking stupid pictures (hey, the stupid thing is not my choice of words) and I care much much more what Jesus Christ had to say than what Rich Brenner thought about anything.
Maybe one day Chris Chase will actually write a tory someone really wants to read. maybe one day I will too.

Winfrey to interview Houston's daughter, family
Houston was a dooper and her family is sad to see her go, of course, but Opra interviewing her family isn't going to change, enhance, or help anyone but Opra. She would have done the same for Davey Jones' family except for that skin tone thingy.
Oh yea, get upset about bigotry. It's okay for one race to discriminate but not another? What entertainer has had Opras support more than any other: Michael Jackson.
Ever watch Family Fued? With a black host, what percentage of the contestants are black? Ot's its higher than there percentage of the population chances are it is the result of discrimination. The breakdown of people by race in this country is white, espanic, and then black yet half the people on family fued is black and the other half are white.
What upsets me the most about this is that we aren't suppose to notice. Opra doesn't appeasr radical like some influencial people in the black community so as long as she smiles and talks nice we are to accept her brand of gentle discrimination. I'm sorry but wrong is wrong no matter how suttle the wrong is or who is committing the wrong.

Back stabbers
According to an internet article, most people (office workers, I suppose) have admitted they have been targets of back stabbing co-workers. Reading the article reminded me of one particular vicious incident I was involved in. I was a district supervisor in the pharmacy industry. I had visited one of my stores in Louisa, KY and discovered my manager was not there even though he was scheduled. Was was really strange about this incident was I had called from the parking lot before I went into the store and was tolod he had gone to the bank and would call me back as soon as he got back. A few minutes later he called.
I was still on the phone with him when I walked into the store and he was no whereto be found.
The next week I had to go to Pittsburgh to see my boss and while I was in my bosses office he received a call from my Louisa, KY store manager who had a complaint about me. He informed my boss that I was engaged in a behavior for which I would definetly be terminated if it was indeed true I was guilty of. Of course my boss knew he was lying as I could not be in Louisa, KY and Pittsburgh, PA at the same time andhe was my witness that I was in Pittsburgh.
He had a good laugh at the foolishness of my manager and fully understood when I terminated him as soon as I returned home.
