Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot

Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot was written in 2006, two years before Billy Crain passed away suddenly on June 3, 2008. He never got the book published, but our family felt inpired and led by God to find a publisher and get the book in printed from. The book uses the transparency of Billy's baseball stories to expose God's hand in the details of our lives. The ultimate journey leads us to see God is in our stories and to train us to recognize it is really HIS STORY in our humanity. To order your copy today contact jennifercrain@sbcglobal.net.

Faithful Friend

I felt like God wanted me to tell you about Carol. Carol is the person other than my son, Brad that comments almost everyday on my blog. But, she does much more. I know that I could not have made it through these last almost 2 years without her. She calls me "Every morning", yes, "Every morning". She prays with me about ALL of my concerns, pain, confusion, and plans. She is even available to me during the day and sometimes calls me on my way home from one of my trips. She constantly reminds me that the Lord sees me, loves me, and is always with me. I think that we might even share a mansion in Heaven. The only thing we would be concerned about would be Organic food or the thermostat. That is an inside joke. I love her so much because she has showed God's love to me more than I could have imagined. I hope you all have friends like Carol. Now that I think about it, we all want God to call us His friends. He said that Moses was His friend. I know that Billy was His friend (and mine). I want to work at being a friend of God. That means that I talk to Him several times a day. I tell Him all of my concerns and Listen to His concerns for His Kingdom. I really know His heart. Do you know the what is in the heart of God, today, for you? Ask Him. He wants to be your friend. Oh, yes, and are you a friend like Carol?

Thanks, Jennifer, for the reminder. Just as it is important to tell our loved ones in our families that we love them, it is just as improtant to tell our friends what they mean to us and that we love them.
Our culture isn't as demonstrative. We can put off most anything until tomorrow, but we've learned the difficult lesson of how fleeting tomorrow is.
I love you, Jennifer Ann. Over the last 37 years you have become one of the rocks in my life. No matter what is going on I always know you are close by. Thank you for your love and care for me, Nicky and the kids.

Thank you, Jennifer, for your kind and loving words.
I believe it was the love and heart of God to connect us on this journey of a friendship for 37 years. Just thinking- how only God knows what and whom each of us needs in life to share the "good and the bad".
Thank you again for all the ways you too have encouraged me because I like you want to be a faithful follower of Jesus. That is my/our prayer for us and our families.

Carol
