Now it came to be that Otis the Nubian goat became fond of an old trench coat that had hung in the barn for years and decided to wear it in all sorts of ways. It was a common site to see Otis with the arms hanging around his neck and the coat spread over his back. He was a comic and everyone loved to watch him show off his array of talents.

"Can you believe how selfish that little twerp is?" Riley sighed. "One day I'm going to catch him when Mom is not home and beat the living doodles out of him. When Mom comes home she will have enough hair to fill a king-sized pillow. He will probably outlive us all if someone doesn't do something."

Sometimes we as parents fail to teach our children about such simple things as planting a plant from another country. This is a story about Easy the Earthworm and what he does to help the soil in which our plants live.

Sometimes we tend to forget who holds our lives in His hands. Jesus said if we ask Him anything believing that He will hear and He will answer. In this true story Jesus came and sat on my bed, touched my forehead healing me. In addition He did something quite unusual or at least it was to me. Read this true story and see just how far Jesus will go when you simply ask Him to do something for you.

One day he discovered a black mole growing on his back but gave it little attention. Everyone had moles and such so the discovery became silent. As months passed David noticed some blood on his shirts from the black growth and decided to have his doctor take a look at it perhaps remove it as well. Then it happened!

His foot pressed the petal making the car go as fast as he could as he approached the curve. Before he could think, he lost control of the car and it went off the road turning over and over. He was thrown out of the passenger window because he was NOT wearing his seat belt.

"People say I have a stubby snout but I don't think I have a snout at all. I think I just have some holes where my nose should be. It is quite different from many other monkeys. If a raindrop falls in my nose it causes me to sneeze terribly. I suppose that is why they call me the sneezing monkey." Pippy blurted out without missing a breath.

"Watch out for spiders and snakes!" Mr. Wells called out from the back door leading to the garage. "If you find any gold it belongs to me!" He said with a wink. Mr. Wells had no idea what was lurking in his own garage and how deadly it could be.

It is here in the Amazon Rainforest that one of the most dangerous of all snakes lives. It is well known for its size all over the world.

I knew a man who drank alcohol all of his life and lived it as a drunk. He never lived a sober moment. The doctors could not heal this man. Moments before his death he asked for a preacher to come and to lead him into the sinners prayer. He wanted to be sure he entered the gates of glory. The minister came and spoke with him. He accepted Jesus knowing he was dying and death was imminent. God forgives the worst of sinners.
