5 Bible Stories Boys Love

Whenever I read the book of Exodus, I can't help but picture a scene like this:

God and Jesus are hanging out in heaven, watching Moses step up and challenge Pharaoh. Moses thunders, "Let my people go! Or else..."

God rubs his chin and asks Jesus, "Or else what? Hmmm. How can I save My people AND tell a story that gets the attention of nine-year-old boys from every culture and generation, forever and ever, amen?"

Jesus leans in with a grin: "Three words, Dad: PLAGUE OF FROGS."

Digging Out from Disappointment

We've all felt it. It comes in various shapes and sizes without respect for age or background. It can kick you in the gut—when you don't get a desired job, or make the team, or garner attention from someone you were sure you would marry. Maybe it stabbed you when a trip to the bathroom dashed your hopes of a longed-for pregnancy. I still remember several years of that longing-turned-disappointment.
