                    On February 19, 1979, a small plane crashed into Ontario Peak in the San Gabriel Mountains, and a ten-hour story of death, courage, and survival began. The passengers of that Cessna 172 included the pilot, a young woman, an attorney, and his eleven-year-old son. The pilot and the attorney were

I take an empty glove and tell the kids that it's a magic glove. I tell them it is amazing because it can pick things

                    2 Corinthians 7:1,“Let us cleanse ourselves” - that means we would do a good job if we were just as fond of straightening our own selves out as we are to find the faults of others.  It is God’s Holy Spirit that will do the work but we must enter in to an active cooperation with God on this matter.
