I've heard someone say before that you should encourage your children in the way that God has bent them. In other words, if Luke desires to play the guitar we will encourage him to use that for God's glory. If he wants to be the next Takeru Kobayashi then we will encourage him to eat hot dogs for God's glory. Although I'm not so sure about this one since our friends little girl choked on a hot dog in front of us one time and Dr. Roy mentioned at his last appointment that they are major choking hazards. All of that to say, we certainly plan on encouraging Luke in the way that the Lord has designed his little personality and passions.
Most people assume (understandably) that Luke will be a baseball player. Derek will even joke that Luke is going to throw 90 from the left side. While it certainly would be nice if Luke's passions fall in line with ours, there is no pressure from us for Luke to play ball.
However....
...he LOVES to play ball.
