                    Charlie Brown is seen at bat. "STRIKE THREE!" He has struck out again and slumps down on the players’ bench. He say, "Rats! I’ll never be a big league player. I just don’t have it! All my life I’ve dreamed of playing in the big leagues, but I know I’ll never make it."  Lucy turns to console him.

                    When I think of risk, I think of the story of Lucinda Williams who was a Missouri woman who moved to Dallas back in the mid-1800’s.  When she moved to Dallas, she asked her landlady if there was a Baptist church in town.  The landlady said there was no Baptist church in town and she hoped there

                    When I think of the book of Ephesians, I think of the story of the woman who woke up one morning and as she saw her husband getting ready to leave for work she said, with a big smile on her face, “Honey, I’ll bet you don’t know what day this is.” Her husband had a hard time remembering birthdays

                    When I think of the idea of antichrist, I think of the Pillsbury Doughboy, no not really, I think of Judas.  Judas was named as one of Jesus’ disciples, but yet he was really never one of them because he did not stay true to Jesus’ teachings.  There is one occasion recorded in John 12 where Jesus
