25 “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came…

AM I DREAMING?
Growing up as a boy north of Chicago I was, of course, a Cub fan. I still have an autographed baseball from the 1963 Cubbies when they were only winning half their games on my bookshelf. I never played baseball competitively but to me, as a boy, baseball and summer were synonymous.
