An example to emulate

For all the readers of this blog, we are getting some new assistants hired and so the posts have been a little behind schedule. It should take us a few more days to launch and I can promise more regular posts from now on.

But for now, I thought I would share a story that was passed on to me the other day about Grant Desme, a 23-year-old minor league outfielder in Oakland's system, is retiring from baseball to follow a calling into the Catholic priesthood.



Said Desme on a Friday afternoon conference call:


"I'm doing well in baseball. But I had to get down to the bottom of things, to what was good in my life, what I wanted to do with my life. Baseball is a good thing, but that felt selfish of me when I felt that God was calling me more. It took awhile to trust that and open up to it and aim full steam toward him ... I love the game, but I'm going to aspire to higher things."
