      <image:title>Blog - Curveballs into Blessings - I was always so enamored as I watched him play softball when I was younger and I would eventually have the privilege to play on some of the same softball teams for several years. When I was younger, he always coached me but the problem was I didn’t always listen as well as I should have. I should have listened more and I’m still figuring that out each day as I get older. Nonetheless, we have so many great memories to look back and reminisce on.</image:title>
      <image:caption>One day, I was finally old enough in the backyard to learn how to throw a curveball. My dad throws left-handed and I throw right-handed so everything was backwards. This didn’t cause any problems in baseball, but it sure does when he’s telling me directions. That’s a story for another day though so back to the curveball story. Once I learned the curveball to go along with the fastball and eventually another pitch or two, I would do alright in baseball going on to play in middle school, high school and college. One ballgame, I was called in from the bullpen to relieve Chris against Chowan University. He had pitched the best game I have ever seen him pitch and I was so happy for him. I got on the mound and warmed up hoping to get Chris and the team the win for us to become the tournament champions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Curveballs into Blessings - Shortly after my mom’s setback, COVID was starting to just make it into the news. Goodness gracious, are you kidding me, here comes another curveball. Our new home was expected to be ready in May of 2020 but I remember in March of 2020 not knowing if we would be able to finish our new home or if we would even be here as it was such an uncertain time for everyone. Well Hallelujah, on May 15, 2020, we moved in. Another blessing was being in a multi- generational home with my mom &amp; dad during COVID. Stephanie works from home so that was another blessing that we were able to help with my parents get through COVID.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s almost 6 years later and everyone is doing great and we’re enjoying our home. It’s been a home of immense pleasure, joy and comfort for our family over the years. It's been a blessing for us to share a home with our parents. As they told me when I was younger, they brought me into this world and they can take me out of this world. Just kidding, I think I may have told that to my kids when they were younger and acting up. This home has definitely been a blessing and will continue to be a blessing for years to come.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Curveballs into Blessings - Well the blessing is that they moved in a couple of months later next door to us and we’re always close by. We ate dinner with them last night and Stephanie is over there right now checking on them as she does every day. By the way, happy 29th anniversary, Stephanie! Curveballs are everywhere but it’s how you handle them when faced with adversity, poor planning or undesired outcomes that matters the most. What’s really important in your life? Are you putting off decisions because it’s easier to wait? Did you recently get pitched a curveball? I know you’ve had as many curveballs in your life as I have or the person sitting next to you but it’s life. We have to get back up, dust ourselves off, get back into the box and ready for our next pitch as quickly as possible. Don’t mope around and think there’s no hope. Just look around, there are blessings everywhere and as long as we have breath, we have hope. Just keep in the back of your mind that the next pitch might be right down the middle and you hit it out of the park for a walk-off grand slam to win your team the championship.</image:title>
