Years ago, Dale Evans wrote a song with the lyrics:

That’s the way to live successfully.
How do I know? The Bible tells me so”

You’ll feel the fear of a young soldier, whose courage on the battlefield in Iraq was strong, but when he lost his eyesight had to learn to rely on a deeper reserve of strength, and who found new hope in the discovery of his life’s true calling.
You’ll experience the pain of a mother who had lost hope and hardened her heart in the face of her son’s intractable addiction—and how faith brought healing to her son and love to her family again.
