THE ROYAL ROAD TO VICTORY
JOSHUA 10

At a little league ball game recently, I was talking to a lady whose son
played on the same team that my boy played on. She said, "Well, you know,
winning isn't everything." Of course, that was the day we were getting beat.
That's when you say that. I said, "Yesm', you're right." She said: "They have

one said, "Well, how's your's going?" He said, "Mine is lose, victory, lose,
victory, lose, victory, lose, victory." -And the other one said, "Well, mine is
victory, victory, victory, lose, victory, victory, victory, lose, victory,
