Driving toward a new goal for kids.

Hi Everybody

Driving Homedriving to a goal

I am driving toward a new goal. I’m on a mission to save kids and I need your help. Our local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital treats thousands of children each year, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.

“Strong like Caleb”

or “Caleb Strong“, refers specifically, to  the attitude, activities, and behavior patterns that  are modeled for us in Scripture by Caleb in Joshua and Numbers.

Caleb Strong is about developing a STRENGTH OF CHARACTER, before we worry about physical strength. This idea of strengthening character is something that needs to be learned in all areas of life. We all, need to raise our standards. There are even public schools involved in a program called “Character Counts” … Click to Continue →
