Ministers encourage to boy to go on “Man this Five Star General went to a lot of work to train a group of special forces and then he sent them behind the enemy lines. They had to cross this raging river and their amphibian almost got swamped but they just made it to the other side under the cover of the dark. These commandos made their way into the city to a prearranged rendezvous with their secret agent in the city. They spent a few days checking out the enemies and looking for the best place to land their invasion force. After drawing out their maps and battle plans they made their way back to where they had hidden their amphibian and crossed back to their camp. rhey told the General where the enemy was dug in, where their missile launchers were located, and where the best place to invade would be. After hearing their report, General Josh commanded his army corp of engineers to build a pontoon bridge across the river as fast as they could. They worked like maniacs and finished the bridge about three in the morning and Josh gave the orders CASTLEGAR ©\ UNITED CHURCH 2224 - 6th Ave., Castlegar Ph. 365-8337 Minister: The Rev.

The whole invasion force with their tanks, trucks and troopcarriers managed to cross before sunrise. Once on the other side, General Josh, called in the air support to blow the bridge so that’the enemy wouldn't be able to use it to get away.” About this time the father couldn't handle it any more and just had to ask “Is that really what the preacher said?” The boy's response was simple but to the point. “No dad but if I told you what really happened you'd never believe me.” It's unfortunate but this little story does reflect that what is made up about the Bible is sometimes more palatable and easier for us to accept than what is actually found within it's pages. But in order for us to know the truth of it's content we have to spend some time reading it Oh by the way if you want to know the truth about the above story look in the first few chapters of the book of Joshua
