Autumn Lineup

The Las Vegas Aces swept the Phoenix Mercury on Friday, winning their third WNBA championship in four years. 

MLB is also nearing its final 2025 inning, with the League Championship Series now set. The Seattle Mariners stepped up to the Toronto Blue Jays’ plate yesterday in the American League Championship series; today, defending Fall Classic champs L.A. Dodgers will take on the Milwaukee Brewers for the National League title. 

Think America’s pastime is a bit of a yawn? You might go bananas for Banana Ball.

It’s a fast-paced, fan-focused alternative to baseball (learn the wacky rules) that’s selling out the biggest stadiums in the country. The Savannah Bananas just announced a 45-state tour featuring five new barnstorming teams for their 2026 season, where they expect to play in front of 3.2M fans (see if you’re on the map).

ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE
It can be thrilling to watch talented athletes, but sports teams and their scoreboards can become an obsession. Keep your affections trained on Jesus, allow your hobbies to be hobbies, and keep everything in its proper place.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus / Look full in his wonderful face / And the things of earth will grow strangely dim / In the light of his glory and grace.” 
Helen H. Lemmel, 1918 (Scriptural basis: Hebrews 12:2)
