 Liberty Basketball Game by StephenGilmer.

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

A determined little turtle once climbed a tree. He somehow made it to
the first branch. Then he jumped into the air waving his front legs
and crashed to the ground.
After a while he slowly climbed the tree again. And again he jumped.
This time he flapped all four of his limbs, but still plummeted to the
hard ground.
The persistent turtle tried again and again with the same results. A Read More
