Another New Year

At church this past Sunday there was a poem on the back of the bulletin that I really liked and wanted to share:



His Unfailing Presence



Another year I enter,

Its history unknown;

Oh, how my feet would tremble

To tread its paths alone!

But I have heard God's whisper --

I know I shall be blest --

"My presence shall go with you,

And I will give you rest."



What will the New Year bring me?

I may not, must now know.

Will it be love and rapture,

Or loneliness and woe?

Hush! Hush! I hear His whisper --

I surely shall be blest --

"My presence shall go with you,

And I will give you rest."

Louisville Slugger Museum

(December 31st, 2010)

Back in the fall we purchased a basket at the kids' schools' fundraiser auction at the Fall Festival. In it were passes to see a Louisville Riverbats baseball game during the 2011 season, as well as passes to the Louisville Slugger Museum. According to the fine print on the museum tix, they expired the last day of the year and so we called up some friends to see if we could all fit it into our schedule that last week of the year while everyone was off work and it happened to work out that we went on New Year's Eve. It has definitely been a LONG time since I've been to the museum and it was certainly a first for our kids. We had a great time taking in the factory tour and learning about the great history behind this legendary brand of bat. We even got to hold bats used by some legendary players as well, such as Mickey Mantle! Another highlight was hitting a few balls in the inexpensive batting cages. Everyone had a great time!

Here are the pics! We are proudly wearing our Kentucky blue since the big rivalry basketball game between Kentucky and Louisville was going on that day just a few streets away while we were at the museum.
