Baseball & Hospitals

Tonight I went to see the Jacksonville Suns baseball team play. The Suns are a AA farm team for the Dodgers. It was just amusing because I went by myself. My friend Chris was thinking about coming, and when I talked to him he had just woken up, at 6:30 pm. Ha. Anyways, it just makes me laugh because I tend to not mind to do things by myself. I go to movies alone, baseball games, and wherever. It's just interesting b/c people are always surprised. I mean, I don't think that if I had a choice to be with others or go alone I would choose alone, but it doesn't bother me, is what I'm saying.

On another note, today I went by myself to the hospital to visit the two folks from our church that are there. I'm pretty excited that it went so well. I'm sad though, that two amazing church members are spending tonight in the hospital, and that most likely means alone. The first woman that I visited I met on Sunday for the first time, and she had a double hip replacement. She was in such high spirits for just getting out of surgery yesterday. Her family had been by, and she was just relaxing, reading an Anne Lammott book (which was pretty cool because I read the same book last year & we got to talk about it). The second man that I visited is a bit older and having a rougher time. I walked in and hadn't actually met him yet, so when I said his name and couldn't tell what he said in return I was worried that it wasn't the person I was supposed to be visiting. Then I realized what the heck? No matter what I'm visiting someone, some child of God, whether they go to Riverside or not.
