Leaving a Mark

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.  The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
                                                                                        Galatians 2:20


An imprint is a permanent mark.  It is an engraving, etching, impression or inscription.  Every time we compete, parent, coach or work, we leave an imprint.  It can be either a good impression or a bad one, but that is up to us.  The ultimate question is not whether we have left a good or bad imprint, but whether we have left an imprint of ourselves or of JESUS.  It is so true that a person walking with Jesus will never leave an imprint of himself or herself, but only the imprint of Jesus.



Holt Rowland left an imprint in this world, not for himself, but for JESUS.  I did not have to get this put on the outfield wall in Boca Chica for us to know that. 



I cannot tell you how exciting it is to have a public field in Boca Chica that serves thousands of people with dugouts proclaiming God's grace.


He is the only way, truth and life.  Now, every team that plays at Ozoria field can read it.


Cristian, one of the players on Miguel Cedeno's team (FCA DR), gives his testimony to American players from Battleground Academy.  Cristian emphasized the joy he lives with in His walk with JESUS.  He left the imprint of JESUS.



Me, Miguel, Luis, Amandi and Jeurelin took a trip out west to Haiti.  My hope is that we left the imprint of JESUS, not ourselves.  Althought the Haitians received water filters in the past (thank you Craig), and possible food in the future, our hope is that they receive JESUS.  He is the bread and water of real life.
