Help us to grow in you in Christ's name, we pray. Amen., there's a A Peanuts cartoon. Has Lucy and Linus. And Lucy is telling Linus the story of King Midas.
And she says, And then the king, everything that the king touched turned to gold. But then on the next day, and Linus says, stop right there. I don't need to hear the rest of the story. So I know where this is going....
