Can you believe it. If you don't know who he is or what he has been through, do a search on him. It is an unbelievable story, and what he is doing right now in the home run derby is amazing. All for the Glory of God.
He said tonight that he had dreamed of this night, in Yankee stadium, in a home run derby, talking to a female reporter, previously, and he said the best part is his being able to tell all the people watching, that it was God who has brought him from where he was to where he is.
This shows that no matter where we are, and what we go through, God is able to pick us up out of it, and use us to bring glory to His name.

"Hamilton's speeches last for more than an hour, and he tells the crowds that, yes, he could have died and, yes, he was ready to give up baseball if that's what it took to get back with his wife and kids. He always recites the scripture that got him through last year, James 4:7. Humble yourself before God. Resist the devil and he'll flee from you. He stays as long as it takes to answer every question, to meet everyone who stays afterward, to hug the last straggler. "It's my privilege to tell my story," he says. "I never get tired of telling it. I know just how fortunate I am."(sports illustrated 5/27/08)
It isn't over yet, but I hope he wins it tonight.

Praise God for Josh Hamilton. Gave some commentary on my blog about this as well. But the main point is God can and does move in peoples lives and don't have to go to some so called "healing" revival to be set free. God has done and amazing work and Josh hitting 28 home runs in the first round will be what people talk about. Ironically he did't win, instead Jush Morneau did, who was basically a last minute entry into the contest. Josh's performance will be what is talked about and too God be the glory.

It's an amazing story of God's healing power. I had to chuckle at Chris Berman when he reported that one of the Rangers' clubhouse guys said Hamilton was "like an evangelist". "Like"? Even if he never said another word, he is a living testimony.

Yeah, it was sad though that they the broadcasters said Josh had found religion, and the he was like an evangelist only once throughout the airing. But Josh at the end especially let everyone know where he stands.
