On a baseball team you have several positions.  The catcher, pitcher, short stop, first baseman, left fielder, center fielder, etc.  Which one of these positions is most important?  Is it where the ball tends most to be hit?  Is it the pitcher?  Is it the catcher?  Or are they all important in their own right and when all players are at their best they make up a great team? My family and I live in the panhandle of Florida.  We were majorly affected by Hurricane Michael last year on October 10th.  I got involved in what they call a second disaster.   Which is basically a disaster that ensues because good people want to help but don’t know what to do so they just send items to the place that has been devastated without going through the right channels.  So, what happens is all of these donations (food, bottled water, canned goods, clothing, etc.) come in with no hands to help sort them and get them to the people that need them....

(I'd like for you to read this story but if you'd rather watch a video instead, click on this link) I’m sitting here watching the waves hit the shore, watching the sunrise clothe the clouds with various color hues of light pinks, blues and purples.  My mind goes to that famous story of Jesus walking on the water and I am amazed that he was able to do this and that his companion Peter was also able to have enough faith when looking into his Master’s eyes to step out of the boat... All of a sudden I see a swarm of seagulls gathering about over the water.  They are so beautiful, flapping their wings.  They almost look like they are swarming in a figure 8 pattern.  I’m enjoying the beauty of it and thanking my Heavenly Father for this beautiful morning when my thought begins to wonder, why they are flying this way?  I look around and realize there is something in the ocean down below that they seemed to be concerned about.  Is it a fish?  A shark?...

Here I am, sitting alone, most of my friends are on the dance floor, laughing and having fun.  There are only a few of us, insecure ones really, who are watching from the side lines.  Wanting to jump up and have fun too but we don't know the dance, we haven't practiced the dance and we don't want to look like fools.  So we sit, pretending like it doesn't bother us.  When asked why we didn't get up and dance we say, "I don't dance."  That answer is enough to suffice our friends from pushing and prodding us further to dance.  After a while I become jealous and envious of those who are not afraid to dance.  Sometimes the desire to dance is so strong that I decide I am going to do what it takes to learn how.  So the next time that song plays I will know what to do.  I won't feel insecure anymore.  So I take the time to learn the dance. Here I am, sitting with my friends, talking and laughing.  The song begins to play, my fr...
