Hot Fun at the HPAC!

Here is Lane waiting for his turn at bat at the game Saturday. Notice how wet his head is... that is from sweat!! It was so incredibly HOT at the game!! We were melting!

Here is Lane again. For all of the years he has played baseball, he has always been number 11! Cool huh? For some reason... I just love this picture!

This is Lane with one of his coaches... Coach Paul Roy. He has to be one of the nicest, most caring people I have ever met. You can tell from watching and listening to him that he truly loves the kids and REALLY cares about each one of them individually, both on and off of the baseball field. One of my favorite things he said this year was after a really close game that ended in a tie. We had been down by several runs, and made a huge comeback. Our kids never gave up. After the game, Coach Paul said to the kids, "You honored God with the way you all played ball today." Wow.

Thank you Coach Paul!

This is Lane with Coach Darryl Frank. Coach Darryl is awesome! The faith that he has in the kids is awesome to watch. He makes them feel like there is nothing that they can't do. The kids thrive on his encouragement!! He was truly a leader to our kids, someone they will be able to look up to forever.

Thank you Coach Darryl!

Here is Lane coming off of the field at the Awards Ceremony last night. Each child was given a Gold Medal for their participation and effort during the baseball season.

I really CAN NOT say enough good and positive things about the Sports Program at HPC. I have never seen a group of people who care so much about our precious kids. They are truly doing God's work by ministering to our children in this way. They not only learn baseball, but they also learn about God's love for them. It has been a huge blessing to be part of this team... not just Lane's team (The Mets) but the entire HPC Sports Team. Thank you everyone that makes this happen year after year. You have made a huge impact on our lives!!
