And so I want to read real quick the couple of verses from the book of 1st Corinthians chapter number 9 verses 9 through 10.

And it says this, for it is written in the law of Moses.

Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out grain.

Is it the oxen that God is concerned about?

Surely he says this for us, doesn't he?

Yes, this was written for us

because whoever plows and threshes

should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.

I want to talk from this subject in our time together, family, I'm about to see something.

Clap your hands if you receive that change.

I'm about to see something.

I always like to inform some and remind others that I was reared and raised in a very small town in Mississippi called Kill Michael, Mississippi.

During my time and tenure there, the population was about 800 people.

We had one full-time police officer, his name was David Eldridge.

We had one part-time police officer. I don't know his real name.

We called him Duny. Duny was my bus driver during the day and he was the police officer at night.

It was a very rural area, but it was also a very under-resourced area. What do you mean, pastor?

I mean, there was no boys and girls clubs.

There was no YMCA.

There was no AAU basketball teams.

There were no summer camps.

So this meant during the summer season, parents had to get very innovative and creative when it came to what they did with their kids.
