When I go to Nashville I'm going to check out this church

I was reading some articles on Baseball Chapel about different players who are Christians. In one of the articles (http://www.bpnews.net/BPnews.asp?ID=30207), Ben Zobrist of the Tampa Bay Rays, was talking about his church and how much he appreciates his pastor. “‘They're a lifeline,’ Zobrist said. “Christ is so evident in all that they do. It's so focused on the Lord. You feel like you're going to church because you're going to meet the Lord there.’” His wife mentioned that it’s easy to get caught up in the sport, and said that “‘…it's awesome to come back to a church where they're excited for you, but that's not their main concern…They expect us to serve and they expect us to stay accountable.’”
I was impressed with them, so I was wondering what their church was like. (Tim Dillard of the Milwaukee Brewers also goes there. I hadn’t heard of him because I don’t know National League players, but still, I thought that was cool.) So I looked it up, listened to the sermon from this week, and was impressed. Actually, 5-10 minutes into it, I stopped and brought the computer downstairs so my mom could listen with me.
So anyway, I’m thinking I’ll start listening to these sermons every week. And from what I heard this week, I recommend them to you, too.

Oh. I thought maybe you meant on the way to Florida for HP. We could go to church in Nashville and then see the HP theme park. ;)

i was going to suggest that when we go to ft. myers for spring training, we could hit stanley's church on the way down, and this church on the way back.

"for spring training" implies spring, during training time.
