Dothan

Very, very close to a first down.

Gus White, who is that sophomore from Dothan, Alabama, now at the middle guard spot, making the stop.

And it is a first down for Notre Dame.

We'll pause 10 seconds for station

Clemens this time gave it to Bullock, and he's near the 24-yard line where he's met by Gus White.

White now is at middle guard, as we checked that for you.

He's a sophomore from Dothan, and he was a starter part of the season, very quick.

And Notre Dame continues to run to their right, to Alabama's left.

As a reminder.

This past Thursday I mentioned to you Wednesday night that we recently had the Pray for Dothan event and there was a debriefing of sorts at one of our larger non-denominational churches here in the city of Dothan and so on Thursday morning I went to that particular meeting.

I got there and there were probably 10 or 12 pastors that were from around the area and of course I was there and I'm not really in touch with all of those men that were there that morning but I began to listen and they talked about maybe a few changes making next year maybe making it a little later in the year so it's not as hot I voted for that It was pretty warm, but we had, listen to me, Pentecostals of Dothan, you had the largest group that showed up for any prayer group in the entire city.

I thank God for that.

I think you ought to give yourself a hand for that.

Oh no, it was gonna be a place where God says, I want you to live right here, Elijah, and you're gonna be here for a little while.

Elijah didn't know how long he was gonna be there, and most commentators feel like he was there for a year, maybe a little longer before the Lord pulled him down.

to Zarephath and there are times and places where that you're right there that brook may be babbling and you may be having the ravens to come in when there's something in your heart and your spirit that says dear God I'd like to be a thousand miles away from this but just know this that you realize there are gifts and and developments that you have in your life that can take place right here at the Pentecostals of Dothan.

And then the burning question arose.

Now that I know how, what in Dothan shall I read? That's a big problem, my friend, to a young fellow who has earned the right to literature by the sweat of his brow.

I wasn't going to waste any of my new gift on flashy stuff.

What I wanted was the real thing.

It was a tough proposition for that wonderful teacher of mine, but her patience finally pulled us through, and at the end of about a year, I was ready to tackle most any kind of stunt in the way of a printed page.

And then the burning question arose, now that I know how, what in Dothan shall I read? That's a big problem, my friend, to a young fellow who has earned the right to literature by the sweat of his brow.

I wasn't going to waste any of my new gift on flashy stuff.

What I wanted was the real thing, and one morning, the problem was solved.

Finally, in desperation, the unhappy visitor threw on his dressing robe and stalked down to the office to make complaint.

It's hotter than torpid in that room of mine, he protested, and I've been monkeying with that door-gasted window of yours for the last hour, and the dang thing won't give an inch.

Well, if you can't move it, why in Dothan don't you kick it out? retorted Conk coldly.

All right, I will, said the guest, returning to the furnace above.

How often did scribe, Pharisee, priest, and people break out in violence against Jesus for his truthful warnings.

No sooner, then, did they see Joseph approaching Dothan, where they fed their flocks, than his brothers thought the time had come at length for humbling their father's favorites.

The first proposal was to put him instantly to death, but Reuben interposed, and their sentence was to throw Joseph into a pit and leave him to perish unpitied there.

Blinded by envy or goaded by rage, they trampled on every tender feeling, and evil became their chief good.
