Nearly ten years ago, in September of 2004, I put a proposition before my church. I was making very good money at the time, was tithing, supporting our Faith Promise ministry, and supporting missions to the Navajo. I was wanting some way to invest in the youth of my church. So my proposition was open to kids up throught twelves years aof age: if they would learn the sixty-six book of the Bible, and recite them to me, I would award them with a Silver Eagle.

At that time, Silver Eagles were $11.00 each, but have since fluctuated to as high as $37.00. After retirement, they were not so easily obtained, but whenever I needed one, the Lord provided one.

Yesterday, a young boy and a young girl, both aged eight years of age, recited the books of the Bible to me, to get their award next Sunday morning

They were number ninety-nine and one hundred!

I wouldn't call that boasting. I'd call that encouragement for the rest of us. You keep raising the bar Mr Wright.

You are an upstanding guy, Mr. Wright! How many do you think you will award in the future?

Well, I'm in reasonably good health. And there are a few youngsters in the wings. And observation tells me there are more to come. Soon!

The Lord will always provide you with HIS Silver Eagles to hand out as that is a fantastic tradition started & carried out by you, through Him, with His backing

Your treasure, not only now but later, will be far more than you will believe

Well done faithful servant - know He is pleased

P.S. Happy 100 - You are not bagging but very proud of what is being done
