From the Editor ... Find me a New Yorker who hasn’t been grilled: “So what are you, anyway? A Yankees or a Mets fan?” The trouble begins with my response. I grew up listening to the sounds of Yankee
games on our black-and-white TV, rooting
for them alongside my father who, as a teen,
played dirt-lot ball with a neighborhood kid
named Whitey Ford. And when Roger Maris
hit his 60th homerun that sunny October day,
my dad and I were glued to the sounds of the
car radio so as not to miss that Yankee milestone,
all the while trying to ignore my mother But I was born in Queens, home of the Mets, and experienced the distinct wonder one summer of watching their first blue-and-orange ballpark rise up, tier by tier, from the vantage point of a fourth floor classroom at P.S. 99, where I attended a camp program for city kids. Week after week I watched “my” stadium emerge a mere mile away. Yankees or Mets fan? The answer: “Yes!” My balancing act irks both sets of fans, but my fence sitting suits me. What doesn’t sit so well with me: I haven’t been “batting a 1000” at keeping my daily appointment with my Today’s Light® Bible. The year began well enough, but there have been more “swings and misses” along the way than I would have hoped. The good news is that my heavenly Coach grants “do overs” when I strike out and encourages me with His “green light, go-ahead call” in Philippians 3:12–14: I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me … Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Time to get back into the game. |
