Let’s not settle
Have you ever wondered what could have been? Most of us can look back on our lives and wonder how our decisions at some point impacted our future. It’s the question of “What if?”, and is often accompanied by regret for something we didn’t do. For instance, sandwiched between the incredible stories of two iconic Bible characters, Noah and Abraham, is Terah. Most of what we know of him is found in Genesis chapter 11. Terah lived in Ur of the Chaldeans, and was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

Year in Review
January 2022 -Home Plate, a new facility offered to provide an opportunity for baseball and softball players to get some indoor practice opened in Montevideo. The facility was the result of Montevideo baseball coaches Tim Epema and Brandon Raymo dreaming up an idea for a baseball and softball training facility.
Milder temperatures in the incoming new year
Wow, what a week we had last week with some plowable snow, but also bitterly cold temperatures and very dangerously cold wind chills. If you were outside at all on Thursday or Friday, it literally hurt a great deal on exposed skin. The National Weather Service was busy issuing Blizzard Warnings, Winter Storm Warnings, and Wind Chill Warnings as we headed into the Christmas/Holiday Weekend.
