A Changed Life

It's amazing how fast your life can be changed.

1 example is when you become a parent. Without kids, you worry about yourself. With kids, you worry about them, and you are willing to give your life for their's.


Shelby Miller is finding out how fast your life can change right now.


The former Brownwood High School pitcher was drafted in the 1st round of the Major League Baseball draft, and he is facing some life changing decisions.


Last week, Miller's biggest concern was getting his team through the Class 3A Quarterfinals.


Now, he's has to decide if he is going to go pro after being the 19th player selected in the draft, or if he is going to take his 97 mph fastball to Texas A&M in College Station.


Odds are, Miller will become a member of the Cardinals organization this summer, and he will start playing baseball for money. That's when the changes really start.


Miller is a teenager who is about to have alot of responsibilities.


He will have more money than he knows what to do with. He will have people hanging around for his money, and he will have to decide who his real friends are.


I am excited for Miller and his family, but I am also praying that he will make the right decisions along the way.


Shelby Miller's life has changed, and now it's up to him if it changed for the better or worse.
