How do you find Gratitude?
One of our favorite jerseys we ever used with our older teams were the “Grattitude” blues. It was meant to be a practice style shirt but we ended up playing in it often. Having an attitude of gratitude is not something easy to obtain. It takes practice just like this game we try to teach.

“If you've forgotten the language of gratitude, you'll never be on speaking terms with happiness.”
That is a tough one to accept. It’s easier to get caught up in all the negativity than to see what we do have to be grateful for all around us. We can very easily get led in the wrong direction IF we are not careful in what or who we follow.
But Jesus has an interesting message for us:
Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
I heard a tip from one of our coaches one time when discussing prayer. We aren’t praying for all the answers. We simply pray that this moment is for Protection or Direction. Is God putting you through something to protect you or is it something to direct you. Over the last year, sometimes it’s hard to tell, but we always know God’s plans are way bigger than we are!

Things are going great here at M-Pact and we continue to look towards him for direction and always showing “Grattitude” for all of you here making this such a special place.
DirtDog Youth Camp
Our 2nd Annual DirtDog youth camp is right around the corner! We are excited to bring this to the community again this year. Led by Jason Conley, founder of M-Pact, and our M-Pact High School players this camp proved last year to be an experience your child wont forget. We don’t offer the run of the mill camp with a meaningless parting gift. We hope to provide your player actual tools they can use to get better and make this game a meaningful part of their life.

Community Event - Fireworks Show
The 3rd Annual community Fireworks show is approaching fast. We have tons of things to get ready for this year. Each team is putting together baskets to raffle off and we need a few volunteers to run the gates. We have some great food trucks lined up, a live band, some games, inflatables, and an even bigger fireworks show than last year. Invite as many people as you can to help raise money to improve our program. With the rising cost of everything, we are utilizing our funds wisely to keep our cost to the families down. Money from the show last year went towards all the field improvements you seen over this season.

Its been a great season so far with M-Pact Baseball and Softball. We have so much to be thankful for. Things are looking very well for our community we have created here.
We have seen so many first this year! First games ever played on our own field, first ever M-Pact softball team and an 18 game win streak, and first player signing with a college. Add to that we had kids helping their High School teams reach new heights. Our 10U placing in the top 10 in the entire state for OK Kids. We found new ways to do things, new concepts to teach, and continued to grow in our quality. Thank you for all that you guys pour into this community.
