To be a Yankee or not. That is the question. At least in my house.

   I love the Yankees.  I bleed Yankee blue and when I get to Heaven I will continue to bleed Yankee blue.  But what would you do if you're little princess comes to you and says she likes the Rangers too.  What?! Does my ears deceive me?  Yes, she said Rangers.  Something happened though.  I finally gave in and told her that it's OK for her to like the Rangers.  That it's OK to cheer for them because that's her home team.  I had to let go a little bit of my 5 year old daughter and let her spread her little wings from the grip of her daddy.  Did you notice that I said a little?  She's still 5 years old ya know.  At least she didn't approach me and said that she likes Boston.  That would be grounds of her being kicked out of the will.

  Today's event made me realize something.  This is where I bring it back to God.  God allows me to spread my wings.  He allows the freedom of choice, and I choose Christ.  Do I fall?  You have no idea how hard I can fall.  But I try.  I try to be a good dad like God is to me.  Whether Jurnee likes the Rangers, or the Yankees I will continue to love her unconditionally just like God loves me unconditionally.
