THE LORD’S BASEBALL GAME
.
Freddy and the Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. The Lord’s team was playing Satan’s team.
.
The Lord’s team was at bat, the score was tied zero to zero, and it was the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs. They continued to watch as a batter stepped up to the plate named ‘Love.’
.
Love swung at the first pitch and hit a single, because ‘Love never fails.’
.
The next batter was named Faith, who also got a single because Faith works with Love.
.
The next batter up was named Godly Wisdom. Satan wound up and threw the first pitch.
.
Godly Wisdom looked it over and let it pass: Ball one. Three more

Kevin is a boy who might be described as “slow.” He didn’t learn his
ABCs as fast as other kids. He couldn’t compete in schoolyard races.
But Kevin had a way with people. His bright smile and big heart won
him plenty of friends.
.
My friend Randy, the pastor at Kevin’s church, decided they needed a
basketball team for boys. Kevin signed on and soon basketball became
a center of his life. He practiced hard. While the other boys worked
at dribbling the basketball and shooting lay-ups, skills Kevin would
never master, he simply shot baskets. Or more correctly, he threw
the ball AT the basket. He had a special spot near the free throw
line. He threw and threw, and it occasionally went in. On the rare
times that he succeeded, Kevin raised his arms and shouted, “Look at
me, Coach! Look at me!” Randy looked at him. And smiled.
.
The day before their first game, Coach Randy gave each player a
bright red jersey. Kevin was number 12. He scrambled himself into

“Just one more time”
By Bob Perks
.
“Damp, musty and well-worn.” It certainly wouldn’t catch your attention in a travel brochure.
.
“No indoor plumbing. Hand pump for water located in back of the building.”
.
No, that wouldn’t make me want to stay there either.
.
“Out house conveniently located in front of or directly behind your rental.”
.
What? No way!
.
So why do I long to return to those places of my youth?

Writer Norman Cousins tells about a football game at which a doctor
found himself treating five spectators for stomach disorder. Each
complained of nausea, dizziness and cramps. Upon checking, the doctor
learned that all five had previously consumed soft drinks from the
arena’s concession stands. In the interest of protecting public
safety, an announcement was made to the crowd that it would be wise to
forego drinks in the stadium because certain people were becoming ill.

A Scout Master was teaching his boy scouts about survival
in the desert. “What are the three most important things
you should bring with you in case you get lost in the
desert?” he asked.
Several hands went up, and many important things were
suggested such as food, matches, etc. Then one little
boy in the back eagerly raised his hand. “Yes Davey,
what are the three most important things you would bring
with you?” asked the Scout Master.
