Last Sunday was the Super Bowl. Now, during that game like in all NFL games, every time the team went into the huddle they had 45 seconds to call a play, get to the line and hike the ball. Now wouldn’t it be stupid if no one was in charge in that huddle? If everyone came and all 11 players

STUPID IDEA
As far as stupid ideas go, this was one of my better moments. I stayed after church one Tuesday night with a number of other kids in the youth group. We were just hanging out and talking for a bit. We were a pretty wild youth group to begin with, but if you know anything about young

LIFE IN OPPOSITION
When I was young, we used to go camping up at the Lodgepole Campground in Sequoia National Park. I think it was the campground at the highest altitude, and we liked it because it wasn’t always as crowded as the lower campgrounds. Now, I always thought the campground was named
