A New Ball Game

No medicine cabinet holds a prescription labeled, 'Take two pills for the sorrow in your heart, or to stop the darts of emotion that hits the targets on center.' That dreaded word 'Cancer' can take control of the thoughts that go on replay when you can't find the stop button. Most tears look for a hiding place behind the questions that filter in and out of those that do not have the answers. The Doctor's plan the strategy for the battlefield to get the reign over the enemy. Hope rises to a new level, until, the other team wins. It is not unusual for the player to hear, "Sit on the bench." The heart watches day and night at the practices as the Holy Spirit prays within, even when we can't. Jesus holds the *Winner's Flag,* and it is often draped on the shoulders of the one who is carried out of the game by the other players. They have been promoted to the Grandest Heavenly Field with the Coach of Eternal Life.. with NO Medicine cabinets... Now that is going to be a New Ball game ..
