Tee ball or t-ball is like baseball for kids ages 3-4 and 5-6. According to Wikipedia , in t-ball, the pitcher is usually used for defensive purposes only. The ball is placed on an adjustable tee atop (see photo below) the home plate at a suitable height for the batter to strike. Score is not kept and rules are designed to maximize participation: an inning is completed once each child has had a turn at bat and all extra players of the defensive team play in the outfield every inning. To encourage the defensive team to try to make plays, there are typically no extra bases on overthrows and runners may not advance after the ball is in possession of an infielder. Mimoi's first Tee ball experience! Last April 29, 2012 the Tee ball Opening Day Ceremonies was held at the Ford Canyon Park, Mickey Mantle Field, Gallup, New Mexico. It was well attended, parents were busy taking pictures and videos, kids were all in uniform, excited and had the time of their lives! Tee ball team...

Andrew Matthew's FOLLOW YOUR HEART     Loving people means giving them the freedom to be who they choose to be and where they choose to be.  Love is allowing people to be in your life out of choice.

credit I drive my kids and a friend's daughter to school.  As soon as I start the car, we'd pray. It has become a habit already. I'd start the prayer and then they would one by one, say their prayers too. My youngest would always say, "God bless the trees, God bless the houses, God bless the sun, the moon, the cars..." My eldest would say, "God help us do good in school, bless the sick people in the hospitals so they would get well.." A friend's daughter would pray differently every time, she'd pray about China, the floods, bad people... and then we'd all say AMEN. It is a good morning habit. It also prompts the kids to be grateful and constantly be aware of God's goodness in our lives.  It is a joy to be with kids and hear them speak their minds. It is a pleasure to listen to them praising God and thanking God for all the beautiful things that He has done for us. In our own little ways, let us continue to spread God's love throug...

As the ball was kicked to the goal by our opponent, in an instinct, I tried to catch the ball! .. Ok, I am playing at Gallup Adult Soccer League Team, a newbie! .. and I've yet to internalize the rules! Funny, but prior to today's game, we were playing Volleyball yesterday, and the volleyball player in me took over! Referee's decision: Opponent's point! 2. TOUCHING THE BALL. I was assigned as a defense, while trying to defend the ball from entering the goalie's territory, the ball touched my shoulder! .. another error!!! Opponent got to play a free kick! 3. PASS BACK TO KEEPER.  The ball came to my stance, and was accidentally kicked to my keeper! OMG! It was not intentional, and even if it was, I wouldn't even know what it meant! Refe...

  If I really wanted to make a difference I would... openlibrary.org   REFUSE TO LET PEOPLE WALK ON ME The book is simply reminding us that God created us in His own image, unique and priceless in all His creation.  If we allow OTHERS to treat us badly, bully or disrespect us in anyway, we are allowing THEM to belittle our Creator as well. We sometimes mistake HUMILITY and MEEKNESS to be the way out of unhealthy situations,  allowing  users, pushers, bullies and steamroller types to continue to walk on us, because we want their needs to be put first.  NO! If we want to make a difference in this world, we all NEED to learn to RESPECT ourselves and others. I've learned through the years that I needed to speak up for myself.  Until I learn to advocate for myself, people around me will continue to make fun of me; put me down and walk on me. It is a NO, NO! Show me that you are worth emulating; show me that you are perfect and never make mistakes; show me h...
