Priorities

Steve McCoy gave an update on his family over at his blog, Reformissionary:

"We finally got the schedule for Elijah's all-star games, not that you care. But we were very surprised to find out the first game is this Sunday morning at 9:30am. We knew he could have a Sunday game, but we never assumed it would be in the morning. We felt compelled to have him play since they only have a 12 player roster and at try-outs they said you have to be able to play all games (that was before the schedule came out). But we also felt compelled to show our son and those on the team that we have priorities that trump baseball.

"So I pulled Elijah in to my office and showed him the schedule. He looked at me puzzled by the Sunday morning game. I asked him what he thought he should do. He said, "Go to church." No fight, no tears, no depression, no struggle, no whining. He has his priorities in order. I'm very, very proud of my little boy, and this Sunday we will be missing an all-star game in order to worship the one who made the stars. Geez, that was cheesy."

Not cheesy at all. Right on.
