We watched the Los Angeles Angels play the Texas Rangers this past Monday night at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. 

Each time Albert Pujols came up to bat, Matthew West could be heard in surround sound praising “Grace Wins” every time.  It was odd that it was so clear to me, yet my husband didn’t catch it.  He is such a Pujols and music fan, I would have thought he would notice.  Regardless, he thought it was awesome when I pointed out the detail to him.  It made me so very happy to know Albert had likely requested that specific song for each at-bat. 

It started a thought process about vocal Christians in the celebrity realm and how they choose, or not, to use their God-given voice.  I will elaborate more when time allows the thoughts to ferment.  

For now, it’s more than enough to remember the simple, yet understated and undeniably powerful message of “GraceWins Every Time”.  How blessed are we these lyrics are His Truth:

Words can’t describe the way it feels …When mercy floods a thirsty soul…a broken side begins to heal…And grace returns what guilt has stole!  Thank you, Jesus!!
