  • The (Maybe Not So) Grand Finale

    Last night was the last hurrah for our softball team, the Green Machine.  We lost our second game in the double elimination playoff tournament.  We played Mariner Bethel, a team we hadn’t played during the regular season.  We batted first and scored three runs, but it went downhill from there.  We had a lot of… Continue reading

  • Great Expectations…or Not

    On Thursday night the playoffs began, and our church football team lost something like 35-7.  Oh wait–I meant our softball team.  The score threw me off, because it sure looks like a football score!  Actually, we scored a couple runs in the last inning, so it may have been more like 35-9.  Pretty close, huh? … Continue reading

  • Another Split Doubleheader

    Well, we won another one!  And this one was an amazing comeback…. Last night our softball team played a doubleheader against High Tide’s second team.  In the first game, we were the home team.  We came into the bottom of the last inning down by 9 runs.  But we scored 10 to come back and… Continue reading

  • New Passengers at the Training Station

    Last night we had orientation for parents who are new to the Training Station, the preschool that serves as a ministry of CrossWay.  What a great turnout!  I didn’t expect more than a few families, but it seems like there were about 40 people there.  It was nice getting to meet some of the parents,… Continue reading

The podcast will be up today or tomorrow,… Continue reading

  • Another Split Doubleheader

    Our church softball team won our second game tonight!  We played the Ocean City Worship Center.  We won the first game (our second win of the season) and they won the second one.  It was fun, of course, but I was very, very frustrated with myself because I didn’t do well at all.  It’s so… Continue reading

  • The Green Machine Strikes

    It finally happened last night.  Our softball team won a game!  It’s the first win in the history of the Green Machine. We played against High Tide 2 (High Tide is a Baptist church in Delaware with two teams).  The humidity was terrible and we were slow to adjust.  The first game was probably the… Continue reading

  • The Gospel

    Tomorrow we’re starting a two-week series about evangelism.  Or, more accurately, it’s about the Gospel.  There is so much misunderstanding, among both Christians and non-Christians, about what it means to be a Christian.  Much of this stems from a lack of knowledge and understanding about the Gospel. The Bible explains quite thoroughly and clearly what… Continue reading
