Art Durene Featured in Morrison County Record



There is a great article in the Morrison County Record about Art Durene. Art is a member of Living Hope Church, where I pastor. He is an incredible man with a lot of wisdom. I have gone to him more than once with a question and he always seems to have the answer.

Hopefully the article will challenge and inspire you to learn some new things.

Hamilton showered with Ginger Ale

Hats off to the Texas Rangers. Last night they celebrated their first post-season series win. On their team is the winner of the American League batting title, Josh Hamilton. Josh is a recovering alcoholic and in consideration of this, the team chose to use ginger ale so he could be included.

When Texas clinched the AL West, Josh chose not to be a part of the team celebration with the traditional shower of champagne and beer. As Josh walked into the clubhouse this time, all of his team mates were prepared. They all yelled "ginger ale" and started to pour it on him.

Way to go Rangers. That's what a team is all about.

To see Josh's story of overcoming his addiction and restoring his marriage with his wife Katie, check out a video on Bluefishtv. Josh and Katie tell about their faith in God and how He has turned lives around.

I'm cheering for the Rangers to dominate over the Yankees!
