Happiness

Happiness isn't the absence of worries and strife, but the ability to smile at life.

Happiness is the capacity to perservere in all that happens, knowing God is near.

Happiness is facing fear, sorrow, tragedy and uniting it to Christ's suffering.

It's not about vacations and lack of stress, but about God's will and acceptance.

Happiness is knowing even in the midst of pain and rain that tomorrow the sun will shine again.

The Tigers in '84,
Who could ask for more?

Tram, Sweet Lou, Lance, Lopez, and Chet,
Gibby, Morris, Evans, Willie--how good could it get?

35 and 5 the best start ever,
Gibby's home run seemed to go on forever.

The warm summer nights, the radio tuned to Ernie,
We followed each game and watched the highlights with Bernie.

You see, not all games were on TV back then,
We did have cable, but no ESPN!

The excitement kept brewing throughout the season,
Something to care about, they gave us a reason.

Our heroes came through and captured the ring,
It's 25 years later and we wonder what our Tigers will bring.

Another World Championship for a struggling city?
Or another loss like 2006--it wasn't very pretty.

Let's cheer on the Tigers and enjoy the ride,
No matter what happens, we'll take it in stride.

We love our dear baseball team through thick and through thin,
If they win it all like in '84, we'll proclaim "They did it again!"
