DannyThe only thing I hate more than baseball is my father. Now I will do whatever it takes not to think about him, or his God. I’m on my way to pursue my dream of becoming a screenwriter. I don’t know how I’ll get to LA. I don’t know what I’ll do once I’m there. I just know I’m going to do what I want and I’m never going home. The day I walked out that door, I left all that behind. Time to move on to greater things.***LydiaMy brother Danny is my best friend and he understands me better than anyone. He makes me laugh. He listens to me. Most importantly, he believes in me like I believe in him. I believed he could be a major league baseball player until he hated the sport. Then I believed he could write plays, and movies, that would change the world.But now, he’s gone. He’s addicted to drugs, on the streets, and far from God. Yet I still believe. I believe God has good plans for Danny, that he will return to God, and that God can heal the brokenness in us all. I will continue to pray, and believe, until God brings him home. No matter what, I will keep believing.
