I typically read books to learn something or to become a better person. I am not really a pleasure reader. I usually wait for the movie! But...I just read two books I MUST write about because they were awesome. Quite similar, in fact, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, and Savannah To Sweetwater by Doris English both were riveting.
Being historical fiction, Savannah To Sweetwater is the story of loss and love in a pre-civil war setting. Political conflict and unrest coupled with spiritual enlightenment make the mysteries of Sweetwater a Georgia plantation favorite!
Redeeming Love is an early American novel of the less modern Biblical character Hosea and his wayward wife. It is a true picture of grace, and the challenge of learning to identify and accept real love.
I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone! As novel readers would say, "The books were better than a movie."

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.
