Ok, I missed posting yesterday but I had a good reason. Adjusting to the time change has been rough. Kirkland and I seem to be struggling the most as we wake up way too early and just can't get back to sleep. Last night was tough, although I have to admit having the window open next to our bed was great. I can only imagine how humid it would be doing that back home in SC. Check out the photo to the left, it is our view each morning as the sun comes up and yes, the sun comes up everyday with hardly any clouds. We only have about 9 days left of this view before we head to Alaska. We will miss this area, but we must carry on.
We have been meeting the last two days at 9am for discipleship training, eating lunch around 11:30am and then heading to the field for a 1pm practice. Bruce has been leading some really good devotional and training sessions for everyone. Bruce is a member of the AIA staff and is headquartered at the University of Michigan. He is doing a great job working with the entire team and with the guys on an individual basis. This morning he worked with the guys on their testimony and how to prepare/share it with others. He is just one of several we have here with us in California, I will being you up to speed on everyone else as the days go by.
Practice has been going good as well. We practice at a local high school and the field is amazing. It has a turf infield/oufield, but the amazing part is the view. This photo does not come close to doing it justice and I don't have the words to describe the view. Standing out at second base you can see the hills behind home plate.
We have our first game on Saturday as we travel about 2.5 hours to Yuba City. We will take batting practice around 5:30pm then enjoy a concert sponsored by the Christian Business Alliance. Former MLB pitcher Dave Dravecky will be in attendance as well and free Bibles will be handed out to those in attendance. It should be a great trip and a large crowd is expected.
Click here to view some photos from the trip. More to come later...........

Wow, nice host home! You should've stayed with me Sunday night before your flight, and you would've had even more appreciation for your current living arrangements. :-)
Also, excellent addition of the flickr photos. I've subscribed to that RSS feed as well.
... 25 days and counting ...
Please keep the blogs coming. There are probably many just like me that will not converse much but will follow you and your family in this most awesome experience and opportunity. I am sure you are being remembered in many, many "Daily Quiet Times"--can you feel it???!!
