My boys caught a water skipper today. When I asked them what they named him, the older one piped up and said “Skipper Jones” @RealCJ10

Life lessons disguised as
“Baseball”:
1) Dealing with and learning from failure
2) Working in a team atmosphere where you don’t necessarily like everyone
3) Respecting authority even when you may disagree
4) Overcoming fear, pressure and anxiety
5) Being able to persevere through challenging times
6) Learning to sacrifice selfish desires for the betterment of the team
7) Creating a competitive mindset that doesn’t like to lose
8) Learning to communicate well with coaches and teammates
9) Battling through nagging injuries, body aches and pains, fatigue
10) Building a work ethic and sacrifice needed to compete at a high level
It’s the love for the game, but it’s also so much more than just baseball !!!

There’s a consistent pattern from our Washington State reps.
They overturn any vote by the people they don’t like
Oh you guys want natural gas? Nah.
Oh you want $30 car tabs… nah.
Oh you want election security? How about we send out universal mail in ballots & block anybody from seeing the chain of custody, ballots, copies of ballots, or anything election related.
We run on a “trust me bro” system & if we vote for change in our favor, they turn around and say we don’t have the right to make that choice.
They claim to be holding your hand but reality is they’re hitting you with it.
The WA State Supreme Court has overturned the will of the people in I-2066, the initiative to protect natural gas use in WA.
Once again, the Court used the "single-subject rule" as its justification for denying the people's voice. And the right they retain in the State Constitution. This rule has become the default excuse the Court uses when it has no good reason to reject a people's initiative.
This use of the "single-subject rule" is intellectually lazy and dishonest. But it's something sponsors of initiatives have to anticipate. We did that effectively with I-2081 (the original WA Parents' Bill of Rights), I-2111 (no state income tax) and I-2113 (restore police pursuits)--which all passed court scrutiny.
In WA, writing an initiative is similar to writing legislation. But not exactly the same. The State Supreme Court applies different standards of review. That's not right, but it's reality.
This fall, vote for Edwards, Stevens, O'Donnell, Larson and Bloom to the WA State Supreme Court. They will respect the State Constitution and the initiative process.

Six players in MLB history have reached 20+ HR, 30+ 2B, 15+ 3B, and 20+ SB in a single season.
The only player to do it twice?
Corbin Carroll ⚡️

Corbin Carroll is the first player ever.

One of the hardest truths in baseball:
Nobody owes you an opportunity.
Not your coach.
Not a scout.
Not the game.
You can work hard and still sit.
You can perform and still get overlooked.
You can do everything right and still watch someone else get the nod.
It’s not always fair.
But you control your prep, your response, and the standard you hold yourself to.
Real toughness isn't built when everything goes your way. It’s built when nothing does, and you show up to work anyway.
💯💪🙌

So THIS is the best question I’ve heard…
Maybe ever 🤷🏽♂️
Anyone have an answer ⁉️

Never discount your impact!
We all have the opportunity to make someone’s life better, whether that’s our family, friends, athletes, or simply holding the door for someone at the store
People judge the outward appearance, but God examines the heart 🙏

🚨🚨 BREAKING ALERT 🚨🚨
THE ARSONIST JUST SPILLED THE BEANS!!!
He looked investigators dead in the eye and CONFESSED to deliberately torching Spokane, Washington… and what he said next will send chills down your spine.
“FIRE is powerful… FIRE is beautiful… and everything that goes through the flames experiences a kind of REBIRTH.”
This man planned the massive Old Trails fire for WEEKS, waited for the perfect deadly weather, and admitted lighting DOZENS of other fires. Hundreds of homes gone. Tens of thousands evacuated.
He didn’t just start a fire…
He celebrated it.
This is pure evil. Share this NOW before it gets buried. 🔥😱
