Dr. L Lane Collins In the Gospels, Jesus gave thanks for: Orel Hershiser was a devout Christian who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1983-1994. He was one of the most talented pitchers ever to play the game and still remained close to the game as an ESPN baseball analyst for many years after he retired. But during his playing days Hershiser had several good years, and in 1988 he won the Gold Glove, Cy Young Award, NLCS MVP and the World Series MVP, as the Dodgers beat the Oakland A’s 4 games to 1. During that prolific series as the television camera was panning I. His Father's Listening Ear—(John 11:41) … “So they re- the Dodgers’ dugout, Hershiser could be seen sitting on the moved the stone.

And as Paul wrote to culture rob us of our gratitude. I’ve heard it said that the Philippian believers, we also share with you, “(We) “Thankfulness to God is only needed as frequently as our heart thank (our) God in all (our) remembrance of you, always beats.” And, as I am well-aware, every heartbeat is a gift from offering prayer with joy in (our) every prayer for you all, in God. view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now” (Philippians 1:3-5).
