....and then apparently cheated on him with David Freese.
Christianity sure seems kinda weird.

I myself prayed that Hamilton's home run would not be the thing that wins the game and thus sparing me the McCarver-wet-dream-sound-bite remembrance for years to come. I'm older, was an altar boy and have no tattoos, so my prayer went up ahead of his. That's the way God works.
When Jesus gets all those contradictory prayer requests, does he just go on volume? Quality? Who has the most important leader? Something else?
Or does he say "What's with all this 'worshipping me' stuff?"
I can't speak for Josh Hamilton, but what I've come to understanding is that part of what God wants is to be treated like God. Usually, when He works with humans, He is designing it to bring glory to Him. IF he gave that homerun to Josh, it was intended for His (God's) glory. Josh hit it believing God blessed him with it and he praised God. Now, you are talking about God. And maybe, if you don't already, someday you will see God's power AND love and decide to worship and love Him too.
If you believe every breath you take is allowed by the creator of the universe, then you are going to give Him praise for every good thing.
Not trying to be preachy, but you kinda brought it up. : )
As an "Every Sunday" Catholic, we are not really encouraged to read the Bible, so as far as biblical support for the will of God and how it could be related to an athlete's performance, I simply don't know. Much of the preaching in our Catholic Church revolves around "we need more priests so talk your kids (boys) about it" and "we need more money so can you give more? And we promise it won't go to the payment of the settlement of lawsuits" so I don't really get it there either. Sometimes it is a struggle to peal away the many layers of Catholic doctrine to try and determine the true will of God.
So kind of "being on my own", I do read the Bible from time to time though mostly because I like some of the stories and their application to the way we live today.
As to God's will, I respect all opinions but for me, still searching.
Perhaps you should try somewhere else other than the Catholic Church. Maybe the Bible? Not trying to be a smart alec but it seems from many of your posts that you are unfamiliar with it and don't understand it.
I could be wrong because I do post a lot and there could be something out there but I can't really recall posting on a biblical passage. Posting (and sometimes poking fun) on religions, or politicians or whatever, in a non-dogmatic manner? No doubt. Guilty as charged.
There is also obviously a great deal of sarcasm and satire on both sites which may or may not represent my position on any given subject.
