                    Have you ever watched the Rudy Rudiegar story. I cry every time I see the movie. A story of a young man, really pretty small in stature who dreamed of attending Notre Dame. Really he not only dreamed of attending there, but dreamed of playing football. Dreamed of making his father proud. He went to

                    Several years ago C.S. Lewis wrote a book entitled “The Screwtape Letters. Screwtape was a Master Demon who wrote a series of letters to his nephew Wormwood, who was a Demon in training.

                    Max Lucado tells a story about a young girl from Brazil who wanted to see the world.
