Little League Highlights - Cards Win 8-2

Gabe and his Cardinals had a really good game last night. Facing the first place Yankees, the Cardinals used great defense and solid hitting to win 8-2. Gabe pitched a complete game, using only 53 pitches out the 85 he was allowed to throw last night to shut down the strong Yankees team.

On offense he also did well, hitting 2 for 3 with a double and a triple. This was a nice reward as Gabe has been trying to incorporate his hips more into his swing to get more power. He still does it better in practice than in game situations, but he's getting there.

The Cardinals are the only team in Safety Harbor so far to beat the top-ranked Yankees.

The Cardinals started out the year strong, going 4-1, but in-field errors dropped their record to 4-5. After two straight wins, however, they've moved up in second place behind the Yankees and now sit at 6-5 with an important game today against the third place Dodgers.

Go Cards!

Preview of Matt Maher's New CD

Here's a five-minute promo of Matt Maher's new CD called Empty & Beautiful to be released on April 8th. I can't wait!

Here's the official description and track listing:

Singer/Songwriter/Worship Leader Matt Maher’s 12-track Empty & Beautiful, which releases April 8, 2008, includes songs that are both corporate and reflective; driving and soft; each one telling the story from a different perspective. Maher describes the heart behind his Essential Records debut, "The realization of our own emptiness without God is both a moment of sadness, and a window to joy, which opens to something so much bigger and more beautiful than ourselves. To lay down one’s life for the Gospel in service of God and neighbor, is a reflection of the beauty of God. That is our charge as Christians, and that is where these songs came from."

Luke 24: 1-8

"But at daybreak on the first day of the week they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb; but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

While they were puzzling over this, behold, two men in dazzling garments appeared to them.

They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. They said to them, "Why do you seek the living one among the dead?

He is not here, but he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise on the third day."

And they remembered his words."

Happy Easter!

May your soul be renewed by the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ!
