Emphasis Preaching Journal

Keys can be such a pain, especially when they are lost. Little Tommy learned that the hard way -- but he didn't forget. The family was just beginning a rare vacation together at a cottage on Lake Erie. A neighbor invited the family to go with him for a ride in his boat. Tommy, who was eight years old at the time, got the bright idea: I'll take my fishing pole along! He picked up Dad's set of keys -- the only keys the family had along -- so he could get the fishing equipment out of the car.
