I could not wait to write this blog, I even told Christie, read it, it will be good. Last night our guys played in a softball game for the church league, and this lady supporting the other team, acted as if she missed the boat on sense. I was like really, you're kidding. There was a play that went our way, which was controversial to the other team, and this lady went wild. Our very next batter, fouled a ball off and it hit the umpire, this woman says, well that is what you get when you don't play fair. I was like are you serious, surely she didn't say that. Then she started screaming, come on guys we know who is on our side, I was like ok who is she referring to, surely she is not insinuating our team doesn't have God on our side, but low and behold she was. This made me angry, and after listening to her scream for another 5 or 10 minutes, I was like ok someone needs to shut her up before I do. Sorry, that would be the red head coming out in me, but not very Christian like on my part. Well I guess she finally realized we were whooping her team, she finally quieted down, or somebody told her to hush, who knows. But folks, when you are out supporting your church team, you should not act like a complete crazy person. Yes I know I am out there yelling for our guys, and if my husband makes a bad play, I am the first one to tell him so, but this, people was insane and over the top. I know people can get crazy with competition, I am married to a very competitive person, all or nothing people, all or nothing, but even he couldn't top this. I was embarassed for her. So as they were walking off to leave, I saw this woman, and she was one mad lady, and I made eye contact with her, and I smiled at her with the biggest smile I could muster out, and she looked at me as if I lost my mind, but I felt good about that, because yes I could have been ugly, I could have said some things to her, but what would that have done, I would not have been any better than her. In her mind she was probably thinking who is the cheese ball smiling at me, but in my mind I am thinking this is what God would want me to do. So the lesson folks you never know when your actions make a lasting impression on someone, whether good or bad, because I can surely say I will not forget this lady none too soon.
Have a good day everyone.
