Today was plan of salvation. When I was planning for the lesson today, it became apparent that we were not going to be able to cover the plan in any depth in just one day.

“Cassie,” her father called, “will you please see if the morning newspaper is here yet?” Cassie got slowly off the couch and dragged her feet to the front door. She stopped a moment, closed her eyes, and whispered, “Please, please let there be a story about a circus or a baseball game on the front page.” She opened the door and glanced at the paper resting on the doormat. “War…
