What if God was a baseball and life was the game?


There’s the baseball, clothed in white but highlighted with red.
There’s the bat, hard and always looking to hit the ball.
There’s the glove, used to catch and harness the ball.

There’s the hitter who tries to beat the cover off of the ball and hit it out of the park.
There’s the pitcher who delivers the ball and tries to get it past the hitter.
There’s the catcher who is seeking a delivery of the ball from the pitcher.
There’s the fielder who tries to catch the ball and get it back to the pitcher.
There’s the umpire who is judging the location of the ball.
There’s the fan who sits watching this game between the bat and the ball.
There’s the announcer who talks about the ball and how it's being used.
There’s the scoreboard which tracks where the ball has been.

Without the ball there would be no game.
Without the bat many of the players would have a different role.
Without the glove the game would be a little more painful for the players and they would be less successful at harnessing the ball.

The ball exists.
The bat exists.
Let's provide the players with a glove so they can catch the ball, because, when the game ends with the ball in your glove, you win!
