  Christ's Call to Courage

  Courage seems to be in short supply these days. And what is courage? Courage has been defined as bravery. It also has been defined as fear that has said its prayers.

Okay, let's see . . . key in the ignition, look over your shoulder, and pull out. You had to think about it. It was challenging at first.

  I used to be one of those people who could eat whatever I wanted and never gain weight. When I was in my twenties, I would eat something called a macho combo burrito.

  Work It Out

  During the Gold Rush of the mid-1800s, people came to California from all around the world because they had heard there was "gold in them thar hills."
