I've always been a sucker for the state fair.We didn't go regularly when I was growing up, so it was a treat when we did make it.I was not a thrill rider or much of a game player, due to an aversion to heights and shallow pockets. Plus, I remember that time Andy had to straighten out the crook in the BB gun booth that tried to snooker Opie.

Nine characteristics of a new life: What does it mean to be born again?It's a spiritual experience. The new birth is the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He convicts us of sin and helps us understand that our good works are insufficient in His eyes and will never make us fit for heaven. But He also assures us of God's love and leads us to confess and repent of our sins and trust Jesus Christ as our Savior.
