In the last two weeks two stories have emerged about two very different men, whose personal life example, testimony, and faith, resounded the same message, a message desperately needed in our time. 

Tony Snow, former White House Press Secretary who died of cancer just a few days ago said: 

"You want to make every pundit look bad? Then stand tall for what you
believe. Don't be shy. You want to stun the establishment? Then become a
mighty force for conservative principles, and tackle the task with confidence
and cheer... This may be a time of testing. But it's not our swan song. Not
by a long shot. Instead... this is our moment. This is the time to do what
we do best---turn adversity into strength." 
 
Josh Hamilton, former drug addict, professional baseball player, directly after the All Star baseball game just days ago, before millions of watching Americans, young and old, gave all the glory for his changed life to his LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
