I was over in Ft. Wayne visiting with my folks for a few days and we went to a minor league baseball game (a lot like the last baseball game I went to on the North side:)
Thus, the Ft. Wayne Tincaps.
I have nothing brilliant to say about that, I just wanted to fill you in.
But Ft Wayne played against Peoria who is coached by Ryne Sandburg – who should be the next coach of the Chicago Cubs. I think that would be a great win for the city – Sandburg is class and would do a great job. And if you are a Cub fan - you’re always hoping for some kind of spark, right? It’s always about “next year” and all of that. The future is bright even though the last century has been rough.

Parkview is a big hospital here in the area. My dad volunteers there. They have an excellent reputation in the community and are expanding their services all over the area.
So it was kind of fun to be there and think about the future. Not that we want a Parkview minor league team or a baseball stadium – but it did make me dream a bit.
What does God have in store for Cubs? I don’t know. Someone gave me a t-shirt that says “What did Jesus say to the Cubs – don’t do anything until I get back.” I don’t know what God wants there.
But the future of Parkview? I really can’t imagine. I couldn’t have imagined ten years ago that we’d be where we are now. 20 years ago – I just wanted it to survive. Ten years from now – I’d like to be like Parkview Hospital in Ft. Wayne. I’d like to be expanding to continually have more beds available for more sick people who need us, spiritually speaking.
And maybe have a baseball stadium…
