THE WILD MOUSE
When I was a young child, maybe seven or eight, my family and I went to Beach Bend Amusement park in Bowling Green KY, not too far from our home. I love amusement parks. Especially then when mom and dad were paying for everything. The day turned out to be a day that would shape my

A man came to the church I was serving. He needed help on Christmas Eve. After giving him some food I asked him where he goes to church. He never goes. I told him he was welcome here. He said, “I know I need God; He’s the only one who will never turn His back on you.”

I heard about two kids who were in Sunday school one day. The teacher had taught the lesson on Lot’s wife who became a pillar of salt. After Sunday school they were walking out and one of the kids said to the other one, "Do you really believe that Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt?" The

COMMITMENT
When the explorer, Cortez, landed in Mexico with his 500 men, he did a wise thing; he burned the ships. His men realized that they must be committed to staying and to succeeding here because there was no turning back.
Families have to have that type of commitment… no holding back, no
