Baron Batch: A storm is coming.

Absolutely amazing blog entry posted today by Mr. Batch. Almost teared me up a little bit. It's about him, and a fan of his that suffered from cancer. Please take the time to read it, you won't regret it.

That was an awesome read. I particularly liked this part:

The past few days I have been thinking quite a bit. It’s amazing how God introduces people at the exact right time, at the perfect moment, for the perfect reasons.

I'm not a person of faith, so I won't readily attribute it to God, but I am amazed at how things work out sometimes. I look at chains of events in my life and think, "If ONE thing had gone differently, everything that happened afterward wouldn't have happened the way it did." Me and my wife have been together for more than 20 years, but we never would have met had one of my friends not had a wisdom tooth pulled when we were 16. It's a long story obviously, but if that hadn't happened, I never would have met the girl who would become my wife. And the children I have today wouldn't exist. My life today would be totally different. It's just like Baron said ... right time, at the perfect moment, for the perfect reasons.

Well you know where I stand on that subject of Faith. And to me, as Baron said, God introduces people in to our lives for a reason and season.

Love it, and love how humble Baron is about it.

Can't say I believe in God in a "conventional" way, but I do agree Truck. I like to say that the everything goes according to the great plan of the universe. If I look back on my life, especially the past five years, it amazes me how/why/when things happen -- especially what might be considered really bad, yet turned out better than expected.

I think Baron's view on all of this is VERY wise. I enjoy reading all of his blog entries, he's a bright young man.

How can you not root for Baron Batch. The guy is a shining star. I believe that we draw the people we need to learn our life lessons and it all ties in with God's gift of free will. That's why some people we draw just suck ! It's not his fault, we used our free will and Baron Batch seems at a young age to use his wisely.

Him and Myron Rolle are both shining stars off the field, and I can't wait to see them both in the Preseason.
