Matthew 7:7 says, "Ask and it will be given you; seek and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you."

You want to talk about quieting almost 200 kids?  Have Kershaw deliver a pep talk. Clayton delivered a powerful message to the boys about perspective.  He reminded them how much they are blessed, and [...]
