Good Memories

I grew up going to church. As I look back at that time I am very grateful for two things that I learned. I learned to memorize Bible verses, and I learned many of the old hymns. If we learn those things early on, they will stick with us throughout our lives. Today we look at a man whose life was saved by Bible verses and old hymns. We would love to hear your comments.
