Have you heard about her? I recently received an email about a German lady named Irena Sendler. She died recently at 98 years old. During WW2, she worked in the Warsaw Ghetto with plumbing and sewer. This job was a cover-up, as her motive was to help the Jews by smuggling infants and children to safety in the tool box and burlap sack found in the back of her truck. She trained her dogs to bark to cover the children's noise when she passed the soldiers. She managed to smuggle 2500 kids to safety and kept a record of each child in a jar buried under a tree in her backyard. When the Nazi's finally found out what she was doing, they broke her arms and legs.
In 2007, Irena Sendler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but she was not chosen. Al Gore won for a film on global warming. What do you think about that?

Why Inbetween Ballgames?
The writings found in this blog are mostly written inbetween ballgames. What seems like endless hours as a sports taxi is turning into precious years passing much too quickly. In learning to capture what is truly important, my desire is to invest in my boys, their lives and their ballgames, while connecting with family and friends, the people of West Ridge Church, and women in ministry, particularly church planting. This blog contains excerpts from my life, my thoughts, my experiences and things that God is teaching me along the way.
