God delivered Israel from a life of slavery in Egypt. He gave them a wonderful land full of abundance. He offered them a life of freedom and prosperity; all they had to do was take Him at His Word and believe he would be with them to give them the victory. Ten of the twelve spies came back with a negative report. “The land is great but the people are huge and we cannot defeat them” they said. Caleb said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it” (Numbers 13:30). Joshua and Caleb completely believed God; the others, like many today, doubted God’s Word and could only whine and cower in fear. As a result, they died without God’s blessings.

Did You Hear About This? Today I remember what I’d forgotten. Returning to the pile upon my desk of memory joggers for things to write about, I grabbed the top stack of notes and there it was.

For the second time this season, the Rebel Track team ventured to Pipestone. Last time, not only did they have to battle the other competitors but also the elements that included temperatures in the 40s and winds of 30+ mph. Fortunately this time, conditions were close to ideal making it a day to see some great performances. Participating schools included Luverne, Hills-Beaver Creek, Southwest Christian/Edgerton, Russell-Tyler-Ruthon, Tracy Area, Murray County Central and host Pipestone Area.

The MCC Rebels were back at home Thursday taking on the Adrian Ellsworth Dragons. For the first this season the Rebels were on their preferred field to take on their Rivals. The Rebels and Dragons tried to play twice this season but the weather has not cooperated. The Rebels were looking to pick up their fourth win in a row and their second win of the season. Before the lightning would cause a halt to the game the Rebels would put together another win.

Last Thursday, the boys traveled south to take on the Dragons of Adrian/Ellsworth in a huge conference matchup. Both teams sitting on top of the conference, this game had the feeling of a playoff game. The Rebels jumped off to an early 5-0 lead after the top of the 1st.
