						Other parking lots 
                      on the road to success are:The cradle store of 
                      nurture
 The gas station of 
                      inspiration
 The grocery store 
                      of wisdom
 The Cathedral of 
                      confidence
 The scenic outlook 
                      of hope
 The crucible 
                      factory of parenthood
 The gift-shop of 
                      love
 The music store of 
                      joy
 The rest stop of 
                      holiness
 Not at the mall of 
                      indulgence
 Not at the 
                      department store of desire
 Not at the dollar 
                      store of cheap thrills
 Not at the garage 
                      sale of cheaper thrills
 Not at the speedy 
                      stop of convenience
 Not at the fear 
                      factory of guilt
 Not at the wrecking 
                      ball factory of selfishness
 Not at the garden 
                      store of disobedience
 Not at the political 
						correctness place of wholesale deceitfulness.
 
					
					
					The 
					Texas Softball 
					
					Hall Of Fame is built slowly over a lifetime. 
					
                     It 
                    is the sum total of every dream come true, every right 
                    decision, every promise kept, every positive thought, every 
                    timely word, and every heartfelt prayer. It is energized by 
                    the generator of  honorable work. It glistens with the 
                    twins of humility and generosity. It is a precious place 
                    constructed with the bricks of tournaments and the mortar of 
                    leagues. It is a lifestyle of courage, faith, and skill 
                    which grows the seeds of greatness in the soil of 
                    sportsmanship. It is a place in the heart of service, where 
                    God looks when He smiles. 
					
					
                     LET'S 
        PLAY BALL!
