Some things are just a given, and unfortunately for Charlie Brown, baseball doesn’t seem to be his strong point. He does, however, get extra points for his passion, determination and absolute devotion to the game!  Right now, reading Peanuts cartoons…

Snoopy’s very welcome and encouraging words today are from Psalm 118:24 – Rejoice and be glad.  Ironically, it really ties in with Kyle’s message today.  There is always a reason to rejoice and be glad; always something to be happy…
