“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”
—John Burroughs
“Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the romance of the unusual.”
—Ernest Hemingway
Haiti
I can’t fully express how excited I am that I get to go to Haiti this summer with a team from my church! It’s what I was made to be doing - sharing Jesus with people, becoming smaller as He becomes greater.
Classic.
- Phillips: It's easy when you play with rejects and a fat kid, Rodriguez.
- Benny: Shut your mouth, Phillips!

- Ham Porter: Come on! We'll take you on, right here! Right now! Come on!
- Sandlot Kids: Yeah!
- Phillips: We play on a real diamond, Porter. You ain't good enough to lick the dirt off our cleats.

- Ham Porter: Moron!
- Phillips: Scab eater!

- [entire group stands in shocked silence]
- Phillips: What did you say?
- Ham Porter: You heard me.
- Phillips: Tomorrow. Noon, at our field. Be there, buffalo-butt breath.
- Ham Porter: Count on it, pee-drinking crap-face!
