D-back game...
Couple innings with field seats
I am in Arizona this week at a our big sports ministry conference. This is always a great time for me to refresh and meet with other sports mini sty's guys from around the country. Both Matt and Charles are here with me for the first time and I am excited for what they will bring back to our ministry at Shepherd.
I had a chance to surprise the guys with a game at Chase Field where we watched the Dback's vs. the Rockies. It was a great game with a lot of action and a total of 26 hits. The field is amazing and getting to hang with my staff outside of work is a treat I always enjoy.
