Roll the dice: all or nothing!

This is a worthy news flash.

A British man, Ashley Revell, a 32 year old Londoner, sold all his possessions and took $135,000 to the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas.

In a rented Tuxedo, with breathless parents in tow and surrounded by a crowd of supporters he put everything on RED.

The wheel spun, the crowd went wild, the ball bobbled and then BINGO, it came down on RED 7.

He had doubled his money.

No more trying his luck. The next day, after taking his mother on a shopping spree, he was back on the plane to London.

Crazy? Perhaps, but he had had his moment and beat the odds.

Two thousand years ago Jesus Christ challenged his disciples to stake everything and follow Him in a wild gamble of faith.

I think Ashley Revell would fit right in with that crazy bunch.
