Some people feel that change is a bad thing. Others would say that change is a good thing. In most cases, both are probably right.

At one of the 5-Day Clubs we taught during the 5-Day Club Blitz just a few weeks ago in Parkersburg, a 3rd-grade boy came forward and simply looked at Nathan and said, “I want Jesus to change my life.”

Patrick Henry is known for several things including being the first post-colonial governor of Virginia, one of the founding fathers of our great country, and his “Give me Liberty, or give me death!” speech.
