“Time you old gypsy man,
Will you not stay,
Put up your caravan
Just for one day?
All things I’ll give you

Bells for your jennet

Goldsmiths shall beat you

Peacocks shall bow to
Little boys sing,
Oh, and sweet

I heard a story about a missionary who was trying to stir up interest to get people to go to a foreign country to preach the gospel.
At the end of the service a woman, dragging a little boy behind her, told the missionary, "I just feel like God is calling me to be a missionary."

“I prayed for faith and thought that some day it would come down and strike me like lightning. But faith didn’t seem to come. One day I read in Romans that “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” I had up to this time, closed my Bible and prayed for

A man on staff with Chuck Swindoll got sexually involved with his secretary. The church chose not to handle it in public, but rather deal with this privately. The next year, 17 marriages of senior leadership people in the church broke up! Paul is clear that when a leader sins, he/she needs to be

I believe the General, Larry Platt, was right. We are talking about something as simple as
"Pants on the ground, pants on the ground,
looking like a fool with yo' pants on the ground,
with the gold in yo' mouth, hat turned sideways,

COST OF COVETING BEAUTY
Venus lingers around every time an ad promotes personal beauty as something to be coveted above all else. I read recently that, if current trends continue, today’s 10-year-old girl, by the time she reaches 50, will have spent $450,000.00 on hair, make-up,
