 Pitchers and Catchers Report! I love reading the sports page and seeing this little headline. This means spring is coming, hardball is right around the corner and Comerica Park will be buzzing with activity and anticipation. Hope springs eternal in the Spring. Every major league team talks optimistically about their team the improvements made on their roster. Young arms are counted on and

Saved by Grace“Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope. ... Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love. No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint. Therefore, we must be saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness.”

CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYSHere we go again. One of the new main stories of the media is all about a mom who decided she wanted to have more children. She underwent an in vitro procedure and gave birth to octuplets. Now the media is wringing their hands and many of these pro-choice journalists and newscasters are questioning why this woman was allowed to do what she did. Why did the doctors allow

PERPLEXEDIsn't it a bit ironic that while we close Gitmo in an effort to extend rights to terrorists who, by the way, want to kill us; we commit American tax dollars to the destruction of innocent life by abortion. 1 + 1 = 0 It's the new math. Sorry kids.

PERFECTIONThere are a number of people who have a personality strength which is often overlooked or underappreciated. That strength is perfectionism...and I confess that I am a perfectionist. It's difficult for us to be around imperfect people and sometimes it's even difficult for imperfect people to be around us. I've discovered during the past few weeks that perfectionism can be a good thing

THANKSI want to encourage each of you to thank our men and women in uniform every time you see them. Don't underestimate the sacrifice they and their families are making daily, as they serve our country. When you see a man or woman in uniform, extend your hand, look them in the eye, and sincerly thank them for their service.

This is not unusual news since it has happened every year since playoffs began, with the exception of the year they lost to the Dallas Cowboys in a shootout by the score of 5-3.

The AnswerThe question of the day, is not whether Barack Obama has the experience and knowledge necessary to lead America to happy and carefree living once again. Or whether he has the keys to unlock the global warming challenge that a polar bear faces each summer. Nor is the answer found in the slimey, rollercoaster stock market. Nor the integrity, or lack thereof, of Wall Street...or Congress

Tennis TitanI love the game of tennis and have played it since I was 8 years old. That's when rackets were made of wood and susceptible to warping. Of course, we'd still play in the rain at times and then dutifully place our wet racket into a wood frame that would help to keep the frame from warping. Now tennis rackets are made of every kind of light weight and space age material and don't have

TIGEES WIN?My grandson, Willem Deur, has started asking an important question of his dad every morning. The question is, "Tigees win?" Loosely translated: Did the Tigers win last night. Once he gets a response from his dad, either a yes or a no, he's ready to take on the day. I find myself wondering if he notices that dad is a little bit happier the morning after a Tigers win? And when they

POLITICSI believe part of my maturing has led me to stay away from politics as much as possible. I know there's an argument that's often heard, that being a "one issue" voter is a sign of ignorance. This bothers me, especially of late. I'm already tired of all the hype and political promises bantered about by both candidates. I'm exhausted with the whole process that leads to each party's

THE VALUE OF A CLOSERThe Tigers have discovered the importance of having a closer ready to come out of the bullpen to finish a game. I believe they knew all along that Todd Jones was not going to be an effective closer for them this year, but were counting on their potent offense to carry them into the playoffs. When you're expected to score 6-8 runs a game, there isn't a real need for a closer

Some of you have optimistic expectations that things will work out and you will be able to graduate, or expectations that the new job and the larger check that comes with it, will set you up to be debt free. We enter marriage with expectations. Some of you have experienced expectations becoming a reality, while other expectations have gone unmet. Here's

There's definitely a difference between a sun rising and a sun setting. A sunrise offers

TIGER FANS...WE HAVE A 'W'The Tigers are spanking the Red Sox right now at Fenway, and I'm going to project a victory for our boys...finally. They are not playing or pitching well but we'll take it. Now we need about 95-96 more. My son, Steve, can now break his fast.

CUSTOMER SERVICEOver the past 2 weeks I have personally experienced two levels of customer service. The first level was over-the-top in Cancun, QR, Mexico. Those who were serving my wife and I along with many other guests at the resort/timeshare we called home for a week, couldn't do enough to please us and make sure every need we had, was met. Always a smile...never harsh words...always a

CARSThe first car I ever owned was a 1965 light blue Ford Mustang. It was six-banger with three on the floor. I loved that car...until the transmission went out while I was going to school and avoiding the draft as best I could. That event encouraged me to drop out of school and go back to work and take my chances with the draft.After I sold the Mustang I proceeded to buy a number of different

BUMPING AND RUBBINGI've always wondered what it felt like to be in a large field of racers in a NASCAR race. I found out this week in Southern California. My drive...or should I say race to LAX on Friday morning seemed to be an event right out of the NASCAR race lineup. Granted, 80-85 mile an hour speeds in heavy traffic, falls far short when you compare it to Daytona. However, Daytona drives

BASEBALLMid-February marks the beginning of spring training for major league baseball. First the pitchers and catchers report to camp, sometimes joined by a few dedicated over- achievers who are either in the final year of their contract, or they simply procrastinated on their workout regimen over the course of the winter and thought they best get a jump on getting in shape. I love to hear the

STRETCHING IT TO NEW LEVELSLimosine design used to be so predictable. Take a Lincoln Continental or a Cadillac and then stretch it out to two to three times it's normal size and then tint the windows, throw in side seating, stereo, tv, and a small bar, and a jar of grey poupon and you were good to go. Lately, limo's have taken on many different looks...elongated Hummers, SUV's, VW Beetles, and

ONE MONTH INAlright, we're officially one month into a new year - 2008. A new year, psychologically, provides an opportunity to lay down a plan for the future...a new year, a new beginning. This year I did just that, and a month has gone by and I have not yet worked my plan. However, all is not lost. Over the weekend I have been working on a personal assignment - looking in the rearview mirror

KNEE HIGHLIGHTSWell, I hobbled into the orthopedic doctor's office and allowed them to shoot a few xray shots of my swollen knee. Upon the doctor's evaluation of the xrays, I was informed I should probably have the knee scoped again for the second time in four years. I asked if a scope repair would allow me to play tennis again and the doctor told me that I could play tennis, I just couldn't run

BLOWOUTYesterday was not a good day for my left knee. It's been almost 4 years since that knee was scoped and cleaned up but yesterday it just blew out. It looks like another surgery is pending, but I'll find out more on Tuesday. I'm realizing once again how important the knee joint is. Each day, I take way too much for granted and when something like this happens, it brings me back to the

Cruel And Excruciating Punishment?The following is a quote from Gary Bauer this past week: The U.S. Supreme Court indicated this week that it is deeply divided over a challenge to the way most states execute prisoners by lethal injection. It seems some of the justices are distressed by the procedure in which three drugs are administered in succession to knock out, paralyze and kill prisoners

SOUTH AFRICAAs you may know, I had an opportunity to travel to Johannesburg, South Africa, to visit, encourage, and work with Vox United team. While I was there I was moved by the acute needs that exist in our world. I saw the ravages of HIV/AIDS in a hospice, orphaned children living in extreme poverty, and injustice all around.The problems are real and their huge. Almost everywhere I looked,

THEY DID IT AGAINOur boys in Honolulu Blue and Silver have done it again as they've stumbled their way to another less than mediocre year. However, this year was different. They captivated Lions fan's attention during the first half of the season and even the fair weather fans were thinking things were different when they roared off to a 6-2 record. What we didn't realize was that they were

Delicious food, kid's laughter, board games, conversations, Lions losing...again, deserts, coffee, basketball game, and just hanging out with folks we love. Overwhelmed and thankful!

THE BEAUTIFUL FIGHTAuthor, Gary Thomas' most recent book has been released. It's title: The Beautiful Fight. This book offers some great insights on spiritual formation - two words used often in the church-world, but not always with a clear or compelling definition. Gary helps us understand that our faith can transcend the ordinary and routine as we embrace a much higher calling. A faith that

LIONS or LAMBS?Last week, I had the opportunity to take in my first NFL game in Phoenix, AZ. The Lions were riding high with a 6-2 record and everyone thought this game would allow them to pad their record and continue the discussion that they are for real. Well, the Lions played miserably and lost the game. They lost it on offense, defense, special teams, and passion. My son-in-law, Eric,

BABY STEPSDuring the past year, I've had some great discussions with my friend Brian about stepping out in faith. He contends that God has called you and me to a radical response and lifestyle in His kingdom building endeavors. Further, that specific calling will lead me to a gigantic step of faith, and then additional enormous steps of faith along the journey. Brian, in my humble opinion, is

SUCKED INEach October for the last 30+ years I have found myself getting sucked into the media hype that "this is the year the Lions will turn things around." This year was no different. I was encouraged by the optimistic comments of a experienced quarterback, Jon Kitna. I was encouraged by draft expert's reviews of the Lions' number one draft choice. I was encouraged to read reports about

SOX SOCK TIGERSHow low can these guys go? Was last year a one year wonder? Are my expectations too high? The Tigers lost another game tonight, this time to the lowly, hurting White Sox.

SHOOTING THE TUBEA few decades ago, I was introduced to small under-the-road calvert somewhere near Lake Ann in Northern Michigan. The river that ran through the calvert was wide and created a real push when it moved through the tube to the other side. We would simply move into a position in front of the "tube" where the river entered and then simply let go, and let the force of the water move

TIGERS CONTINUE DOWNWARD SPIRALThe Tigers have been struggling to put W's up, since the All-star break. Consistency has been lacking in the area of starting pitching and hitting, and the bullpen has struggled the most. Yesterday, that lack of consistency resulted in another game ending up in the loss column. Nate Robertson seemed to thrive on this hot, humid afternoon game, and pitched 8 2/3

This tiny lake and the quaint cabins/cottages that are situated on it, have provided so many special memories over the years. Our family has continued to enjoy a week at this resort over the course of 6 decades. In my family, this vacation and this resort, is simply

KIEV...MEANINGFUL EVENTS AND ACTIVITIESDuring my 13 day stay in Kiev, Ukraine there were far too many meaningful events to list here in this space but I thought it would be beneficial to list a few. What made these events and activities memorable and exciting, was God's unmistakable hand in the middle of it all! It was also a blessing to serve with a team of people (13 of us) who modeled a

BACK IN THE POCKETOn Wednesday evening at 9:00pm, G-force and I returned to the "pocket," after 14 days in Kiev, Ukraine. It was an incredible experience for all 13 members of our team as we led a 3 day marriage conference and then assisted their leaders during a week-long camp experience for middle school age kids. So many stories...coming to this blog soon.This was my first trip to Kiev since

FREEDOM and LIBERTYWhat price can you put on the freedoms we enjoy in this country? Where else in the world can you go and have every opportunity to be all that God has created you to be...all without hindrance? Where can a simple farm boy who loved playing the piano, grow up and become president of the greatest country on earth? Where else in the world do you have the freedom to say absolutely

PISTONS TANKTrue or False....Are the Pistons that bad? Or, are the Cadaveliers that good? Or, is the correct answer - It depends.The boys from Detroit lost 4 in a row to lose the East Conference finals for the second time in two years, this time to a team that seemed to sneak up on them. The Pistons don't seem to respect the ability of most NBA teams and it gets them in trouble. So what's

SUMMER IN THE CITY SERIESNew York City on a hot summer day is a thing to behold. Subway platforms are hot, some subway cars are not air conditioned, tempers often run short and testosterone starts flowing in abundance. It's seemingly impossible to escape the steady noise of the street. But then as you step into Central Park (sometimes referred to as Grand Park), everything changes. The noise

IF I CAN MAKE IT HERE, I CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE...There's no city in the world quite like New York City. Every time I visit New York and spend some time there, I leave amazed. My son, Steve, just returned from a 5 day stay in the city and we had a great time. It all started in the midtown area at St. Patrick's Cathedral. We walked the streets of the upper west side, China Town, SoHo, NoHo,

BREAKFAST FOR CHAMPIONSThe speaker of our last Breakfast for Champions for the season was none other than Frank Tanana. Frank spent 20 seasons in the majors as a starting pitcher for a number of teams including the Tigers. He pitched more than 4,000 innings and became a very durable junk ball pitcher after he endured an arm injury. After the injury 4 years into his career, he successfully

GAITHER'S STILL GOING STRONGWe went to a Gaither Homecoming Concert about a week ago and really enjoyed it! Honestly, their style of music is not my first choice, but the talent is definitely there, and their hearts are so right and sincere. They're the real deal. There's definitely an infusion of some younger voices in the program which proves that Bill can still attract and launch great

PLUNGE ONLast Saturday, 1,000 men, women, and children from Central joined 800 others from a number of different churches as we "plunged" into the community, meeting all kinds of needs. Our small group assisted a young couple who have 3 children. The wife/mom is is dealing with cancer and is in the process of receiving chemo treatments as well as undergoing a constant barrage of tests.

COMEDY CENTRALMatt Millen continues his love affair with the wide receiver. Millen just cannot help himself. He drafted another WR, Calvin Johnson, with the Lion's overall second pick in the draft, even though his head coach insisted he didn't want to "stack" players at individual positions. The Lions sent one player to the pro bowl last year - a wide receiver - so it makes all the sense in the

I love tagging into their wifi at times, and sharing some interesting blogs with the owners Tim and Sheila, who by the way, are great people.

TIGER BALL IN APRILFriday evening I surprised my favorite date by "surprising" her with an overnighter to Detroit. To enhance this special weekend event, I purchased tickets for the Friday evening Tigers and White Sox game. The Tiges lost a tight one due to a bullpen breakdown, but it was a fun game to watch with a sellout crowd. Tiger Stadium used to have obstructed view seats where a support

INCONVENIENT LIEHave you ever lied about something because it was inconvenient to tell the truth? Have you ever plagiarized and turned that work in as your own? Well I did, and I'm not too proud of it. I was given an assignment in my high school English Literature class, to compose a poem. I am not a poet and I know it. Unsure of what I could do to fulfill the assigned request, I came up

GLOBAL WARMING AND DEFICIT SPENDINGWhat does the possibility of global warming and Michigan's extreme debt resulting in deficit spending, have in common? Absolutely nothing...other than all the hype I regularly hear, surrounding these two issues. It actually becomes a bit comical when certain folks talk about global warming while I'm snow-blowing my driveway one week into April! C'mon...bring

BASEBALLI love this time of year! The weather begins to warm up a bit, the tulips starts sprouting out of the dirt, the grass begins to turn green, golf courses begin operations, and baseball begins again in America.There's something about the game of baseball that brings back great memories from the past. My introduction to the competitive game of baseball was when I was 10 years old. I played

ARIZONA GOLFTaking a break in Tucson, AZ last week, gave me an opportunity to play a little golf with my son-in-law, Eric. The weather was great, the sky was blue, the fairways were green, the greens were true, and the roughs were....rough, like in desert.I love playing golf because it's so relaxing and refreshing. When I'm screaming around on a cart on a golf course with a bag of clubs and a

MiMi's Cafe Wins Going AwayWe recently returned from a vacation in hot and dry Arizona. We spent some time in Sierra Vista and Tucson and had a great time hanging with our kids.It's always fun to get away at this time of year and spend time in a warmer climate where the sun always seems to shine. Such was the case this past week with temperatures in the 80's and the only clouds in the sky were

WONDER YEARSOur church has a special three week series going, entitled the Wonder Years. We're addressing some difficult topics that may be of interest to a larger audience. The first week the topic was, Suffering. Why does God allow suffering? Thematically, everything was programmed around a 60's theme with multimedia and music.This week the topic is, What Happens When I Die? Thematically,

PerseverancePerseverance is one of a number of words that could be used to describe a man by the name of William Wilberforce. Yesterday, I took in the movie that chronicled Wilberforce's effort to end slave trade and bring about the emancipation of all slaves: Amazing Grace. It was an outstanding movie that depicted well, the battle between good and evil. Since money was a driving force

SURRENDERSurrender is not a popular word or action. No one really wants to surrender yet most of us have done so in one way or another during the course of the last week. For instance, we may have surrendered our place in the checkout lane of the local grocery store, to a young mom. Or maybe we surrendered a $10 bill for a box of Girl Scout cookies that may be worth $2. Each of us have

TENNIS EXTRAVAGANZAThis past Tuesday the G-woman and I made our way to Grand Rapids to have a nice dinner at Tillman's and then proceeded to Van Andel Arena for the Ace of Hearts Tennis Tour event. It was a great evening with some really good tennis, as well as some hilarious moments mixed in. Proceeds of the evening were earmarked for the Miracle Match Foundation that was established in 1997

WHAT AM I BID?The following is an excerpt from the book Red Moon Rising by Pete Greig and Dave Roberts.WHAT AM I BID?"Suddenly I find myself in a giant hall. Surrounding me are thousands of young people, battered, bruised, and broken. Then suddenly, hear a voice: "What am I bid?"A young girl stands out before the crowd of leering, sneering men."What am I bid for this piece of flesh?"The men start
