Making Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World

A Message from Pastor Craig

 

In the coat closet right by the front door of my grandparent’s house, placed right next to the old Carom board, was a box with my name on it. The box was about two feet tall and quite narrow. It looked brand new, and could have been taken as straight from the store save for my name being prominently written on it. Somebody, whether me or some other family member, placed that box there when I was about 5 years old, and it stayed there as long as I can remember.


The box, as you might guess, had a toy in it.  And again, you won’t be surprised to find that it was a vehicle. The box had a toy airport tanker truck with the Texaco label branded on the side. Most uniquely, you could ride this truck. And when you put pressure on the cab, it would turn to the right or left. A boy that looked a lot like me was pictured riding it, leaning on one side so as to turn the wheels. Proudly the box proclaimed that this feature was the “first on a toy.”
