  Astros 5 Cubs 0 I wouldn't normally care at this point in the season about this particular game, but its different when you are at the ballpark. Leah and I were offered free tickets from another couple to enjoy the game. All four of us met and went to our seats.
Behind home plate in the field boxes. Close enough to see the details of the players, but high enough that a foul ball would potentially come over the net into our row. I was proud of my Astros and their swift play. They played hard, made some outstanding efforts and were never in jeopardy of losing. They pitched well, hit well, and ran well. All in all it was a great night for the Astros. Of course with any competition there is a winner and a loser. The Cubs (unfortunate if you are a cub fan) lost last night and even worse didn't score a point. They were struck out over 10 times and only received a few hits. You could say it wasn't a good night for the cubs. Towards the end of the game, the top of the ninth with two outs and no one on base, I began to wonder.
I looked at the batter at the on-deck circle. I wondered, does he really think that he is going to get up to bat with two outs already? Do the cubs think they can actually still win this game? Are the Astros confident of victory? In Christ we should be confident of our victory. However, it is the everday battles that sometimes can overwhelm us. When things look as if Satan has won the battle, we should have the faith that says, "No way, through Christ I will win today" But even if we do lose the battle, we have definitely won the war. We can be confident of that because of Christ's blood shed on the cross and His resurrection from the dead. Christ 5 Satan 0 Who's team do you want to be on? -Michael
