Episode Synopsis

It seems like only yesterday that my four-year-old daughter, Gabrielle, asked me to teach herhow to make a rock jump across the water. I was just thankful she didn't ask me to explainquantum physics or something even harder, like setting an alarm clock in a hotel room.We headed to the river in my jeep, and I told her about the importance of finding just the rightrocks. We started searching for smooth rocks that were fairly flat on one side. I showed her howyou have to pop your wrist to get the stone to spin fast and dance across the water. I recalledthe hours I spent alone as a child practicing skipping rocks. After all, patience and practice arerequired for everything in life, but you can’t master anything in just one day.When we left, I suggested we go get some dessert, so I drove to the ice cream shop to enjoy amessy chocolate treat. The waitress asked Gabrielle if she was having a good day and shesaid, “Yes ma’am, and my daddy is a good rock skipper.” It was a banner day!Later that evening, I thought about little David searching for five smooth stones for his sling.Before he ever faced Goliath, he was well acquainted with the proper rocks he would need. Hehad already killed a lion and a bear and was more than proficient. Yet, he still had enough rocksto topple four more giants!We need more prayer time with God and more preparation before we stand before our giants. Many of us could slay more spiritual giants in our lives if we had the right spiritual stones https://m.facebook.com/comediantimlovelacehttps://www.instagram.com/timlovelacecomedyhttps://youtube.com/@TimLovelaceComedy
