The Christmas Cheer continues! If you’ve missed any of the fun we’ve been having this week, please visit the links at the end of the post. Today, I’m super excited because we’re hearing from Andy Andrews. Andy Andrews is an amazing author; my favorite. I’ve featured him on the site before and I reference his writing in a lot of my own.

I am grateful that during the worst time in his life he sought wisdom and […]

I can still hear the cheers from the sidelines, smell the freshly cut grass, and taste the sweat mixed with red clay. For the first eighteen years of my life, baseball was my identity.
