God Loves YOU, He is for YOU, and He will always encourage YOU when you are striving to do better!!!

[Lynn D. Walker]

One day when Jesus was a young boy, he was trying to learn to play baseball.  He was out on the field all by himself.  He would toss the ball up in the air with his left hand and then grab the bat with both hands and try to hit the ball.  He missed; not once but over and over again.  He was beginning to get a little discouraged when all of a sudden he got some great encouragement from His Heavenly Father: God's thunderous voice crashed through the clouds and He said, "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.  I had no idea that He was such a great pitcher!!!"  Please don't look for this parable in the Bible; I just thought it was a cute fictitious story but it really does have a good moral.  God really does love you and He will always be there to encourage you.  Keep on swinging!!!  ~Pastor Lynn
