So you wanna roll the dice?




I had a number of kind comments on yesterday's post on the Powerball winners.

It has prompted me to tell you another story.

About ten years ago I was flying from Canada to Salt Lake City.
Sitting next to me was a passenger on his way to Las Vegas.
Before I de-planed I asked him where he was going. 

"To the Casinos, of course!"

I replied that I had bet everything I had over 40 years ago and come up a big winner. 

Instantly I had his attention.

"Was it Black Jack? Was it the Crap tables? or was it a poker game?"

"None of them." I responded. "Over 40 years ago I bet my whole life on the person and promises of Jesus Christ. I was an instant winner and have been every day since!"

My friend was stunned for a moment and then he burst out.

"You know I really admire you. That puts faith in a new light for me."

Perhaps it did but he stayed in his seat and went on to gamble his money in Las Vegas.

Feel like taking a risk today? Put everything on Seven.
It's the Perfect number that stands for God and if you trust in Him you will never be a loser.
