“The Thrill, The Agony”
June 12, 2016
Been a while since I put words down here. So here goes!
The Thrills!
The past couple of weeks have held many thrills and sadly the past few days have brought forth agony.
First off I witnessed some great softball being played across the NCAA, teams and individuals played their hearts out! A lot of the time I wanted so bad to be there in person, I wanted to capture the moment in my hands, with my eye and lens. But I am so glad that I was able to see as much ball as I did!
A thrill was to watch Texas State get to a regional and battle hard, I got to see them make a Dream Become Reality! They are forever my champions!
I got to watch the Women’s College World Series (WCWS) and see history made on so many fronts for the time being I think the 2016 WCWS will stand out for many a year to come. From a catch that was made to a walk off GRAND SLAM homerun, from a historic game. And a young lady step into the batters box and give her all yet come up short, but not really, she took charge of any fear that may have been inside her and do what needed to be done. it may not have been the outcome wished for, but the heart it took and stand there and face each and every pitch was a thrill!
The Agony
In the past few days, especially the last day June 11/12 there has been too much agony, a act of terrorism in Florida was heartless, gutless and punk like. To walk into a place that is meant to be a happy place, a place to get your thing on, dance, talk, drink and just have fun became a one way battlefield. One person put an end to all the fun by beginning a war on those folks. I can only pray for the families of the ones lost and continued prayers for those wounded and fighting to stay alive. I will not forgive the person that started the war, for if you have such a beef with the USA, go back to your place and join their army and put on a uniform and take it to a battlefield where our soldiers will fire back with the same firepower and more to take you out. I am increasingly disturbed by acts of war being put upon by a few on people who don’t have a way to fight back! You want to fight a war, put on a uniform and pair of boots and walk out onto the battlefield.
I do apologize for the rant but I had to voice my two cents worth. As always I share photos on all my blogs, the photos I share today I got off of Facebook and give all credit to the talented photographers who clicked the shutter at just the right time.
Stay Alert, Stay Safe, Stay Loved!!
