>> True Story:  Worth Reading!
>>
>> In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new
>> voice came over the intercom asking for a carry out at check register 4.
>> Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided
>> to answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile
>> caught his eye, the new check out girl was beautiful. She was an older
>> woman (maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he fell in love.
>>
>> Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to
>> find out her name. She came into the break room smile softly at him and
>> took her card and punched out, then left. He looked at her card, BRENDA.
>> He walked out only to see her start walking up the road.
>> Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her
a
>> ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped
>her
>> off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She
simply
>> said it wasn't possible. He pressed and she explained she had two
>> children and she couldn't afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for
>the
>> baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the
>following
>> Saturday.
>>
>> That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that
>> she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled.
To
>> which Kurtis simply said, "Well, lets take the kids with us."
>>
>> She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but
>> again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda, brought
>> him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just
>> cute as a bug, Kurtis thought. Then Brenda brought out her son, in a
>> wheelchair, he was born a paraplegic with Down's syndrome. Kurtis asked
>> Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come with us?"
Brenda
>> was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids,
especially
>> if one had disabilities. Just like her first husband and father of her
>> children did.
>>
>> That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the
>> movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him.
>> When he needed to use the rest room, he picked him up out of his chair,
>> took him, brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the
>> evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend
>> the rest of her life with. A year later, they were married and Kurtis
>> adopted both of her children and since then they have added two more
kids.
>>
>> So what happened to the stock boy and check out girl? Well, Mr. & Mrs.
>> Kurt Warner, now live in St. Louis, where he is employed by the St.
>> Louis Rams and plays quarterback. Watch him play this Sunday in Super
Bowl
>> XXXVI. Kurt Warner is known all over the sports world as a radiant
>Christian.
>>
>> God is so good. He loved us and adopted us when we were helpless and all
>> broken up. May the world see our good works and glorify God because of
us.
>>
>> Oh dear people, the world is hurting today and needs to see radiant
>> Christians who really care for them. Let's show we love them and share
the
>> good news of the gospel so they can have the same joy and go to heaven
>just
>> as we will because someone cared enough to help us go to heaven.

Stay strong in the Lord,
Matt Raley

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the 
salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.  
For in the Gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is 
by faith from the first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will 
live by faith."  Romans 1:16-17
