Through the Waters
About this blog
Through the Waters is the blog of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Christian vocation ministries. Because the ministry of Christian vocation affirms the need for all baptized Christians – including Presbyterians - to identify and claim their call to discipleship in each decision and life choice, this blog is designed to serve as a resource for youth and young adults, as well as those in ministry with them, to assist the Holy Spirit in God’s movement in this journey through the waters. Take some time to read and think about your own responses to the questions posed here. For additional resources, we suggest that you visit our website.

Finding Home
This week I went to my first professional baseball game of the season. Obviously, I’m not a huge baseball fan but I do enjoy the games. I can pretty much follow the game even without knowing all of the specifics and I love watching the fans. There certainly are diehard baseball fanatics who take the game seriously!
