SABRINA

After days of rioting, on Wednesday, April 29th, Major League Baseball decreed that the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox would play before an empty stadium, both for the safety of fans -- and to not overtax law enforcement resources - With no crowd noise or energy to distract from events on the field, each crack of the bat and umpire's call was magnified. Players found it tougher to stay focused.  You could hear a pin drop. The noise echoed through Camden Hall.
The game went on and the Orioles won 8-2, but everyone was in agreement, it was not a game they would like to repeat.

Our relationship with God is much the same as that baseball game. We can live this life, go about our day to day tasks, and never enter into a relationship with God.  We can play the game of life, leaving God outside the stands. But there is an emptiness, a hollowness in life. We lose our focus. We are created to live in harmony with God, to have interaction, look to Him as our source of energy and strength through our daily lives. Philippians 4:13 reminds us, “I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength.” That is a powerful reminder in this game of life.
