Going Home

Friends,

The story concerning the college softball player yesterday was great. If you did not hear about it, Western Oregon senior, Sara Tucholsky, hit her first home run ever (a three run dinger) against Central Washington. Gazing in awe as she was going to first base, she missed the base and as she turned around to go back, she severely sprained her knee and fell. She tried to stand, but couldn't, and ended up crawling back to first base in great pain. It would be illegal for her to get any help from her teammates, so she would have to get around the bases somehow in order for the run to count... and then a cool thing happened -- two of the Western Oregon girls came, lifted her up, and carried her around to each base and allowed her to touch each one on her way to home. There was probably not a dry eye in the house. What a great story of sportsmanship. It really illustrates what we are to be all about in the Christian walk...
