Get happy, part two

A few weeks back I wrote about “What’s making me happy,” which got a great response from people.
Some sent emails or stopped me in the market to tell me what’s making them happy. Seems everyone was riding the happiness train.
But then someone pointed out that God never promised us happiness and that those who pursue it never obtain it.
There’s always a buzz kill in every crowd.
Still, the person had a good point and one worth exploring.

Fillies take Senior Night win...

The Harrison County Fillies rebounded from a 10-0 defeat two weeks ago in Carlisle and handed the Nicholas County Lady Jackets a 7-2 loss Thursday night at Shirley Field.
The Senior Night for Ashley Coppage, Morgan Florence and Jasmeen Smith was made even more special by the resounding victory over the district rival, Lady Jackets.  
Errors continued to plague the Fillies, however, as Nicholas County scored in the first when Megan Bretz reached on an error at short and scored on Shelby Wade’s single with two outs for an unearned run.

Violence in sports, how long...

I spent Monday this week working in Indiana, which gives me a lot of time to listen to the radio while in the car.
I listen mainly to sports radio but now and then will venture over to the news, which generally depresses me so I don’t listen for any long periods of time.
Monday the news had quite a bit about the soccer official who was killed when an irate player hit him in the side of the head and killed him on April 27 in Utah.

This is what bedtime stories are...

I try to get home at night in time to tell my two youngest grandchildren a bedtime story.  
This time of year when I umpire a lot and other times when I am working and traveling, I don’t get home to tell one but many nights I do.  
My stories vary from fairy tales with my own particular spin on them or stories from when I was young as I remember them.  
No stories about “little Jerry” or the such, but entertaining tidbits of the G or at least PG rating are what the grandchildren ask me to tell them.
