I would like Tanisha to come to the front and Cheyenne come to the front.

Now Tanisha did not steal Sandy's car, but Cheyenne's just going to share a little bit about what took place Saturday morning with the car and then Tanisha will finish up the rest of the story.

We were going to go to church, obviously, and we were getting ready to go downstairs, and we were kind of rushing it.

And we walked downstairs and turned the corner, And I'm like, mom, our car isn't here.

And she's like, oh, maybe I misplaced it.

We reported it, called Rondi to come pick us up and we came back.

Now there's a lot of Saturns in this area, okay.

So your car was, It wasn't there that morning, right?

And I told Sandy, I saw Sandy during the potluck time.

And I said to her, I said, Sandy, I said, don't worry.

Monday, I drive Austin, my son, all the way over here to Adkisson to school.

And I live all the way out in the country, so I usually take the easiest route and the fastest route, and that is to take Crow's Landing to Keys Road and Keys up to Morgan and so on and so forth till I get over.

But that day, that morning, I took my normal route and at 02:00 when I leave my house to go pick my son up, I got to Keys Road and Crows Landing and the Lord said, take Crow's Landing, you've got so much time to kill, you're usually there early, take Crow's Landing.

I get up to Hackett where the Crow's Landing Flea Market is, and it's completely empty, and as I'm driving by, I see this car almost into the almond orchard at the back of a dirt lot, and I thought, kinda looks like Sandy's car, and then I thought, well, but maybe it's not, so I kept going, went to pick my son up, and something said, go back the exact same way you came and I thought okay So if the car is there stop Call Sandy check the license plate number and find out if it's her car mind you I got there I pulled over Sandy didn't answer her phone.

So I'm leaving her a message thinking hurry up an answer and She calls me right back as I'm leaving her a message and I said Sandy I think I found a car that looks just like yours.

And she goes, we'll see if there's a dent in the back.

And I said, Sandy, there's lots of dents in cars.

You've got to give me a license plate number.

So Austin and I get out of the car, and we walk all the way to the back of the lot.

And as I'm walking back there, I'm thinking, please, Lord, protect us, because we have no clue who's in this car if there's anybody in it or if I startle somebody what's gonna happen so we get back there and lo and behold I said Sandy what's your license plate number and she says SUL and I was like, oh gosh.

And she goes, wait, wait, wait, wait, no.

And I was like, Sandy, I just found your car.

And as we're waiting for the cops, and then I had to get my son home.

I just, when we got home and on the way home, Austin says, Mom, the Lord found Sandy's car and the devil doesn't have it anymore.

So, that right there, I didn't find Sandy's car.

The Lord used me to help Sandy find her car and I was just happy even if Even if I just would have drove past and seen it and called her and said your car's there The fact of the matter is my son learned something that day and he learned that we were used to find Sandy's car.

Now there's just a few items that were stolen.

A broken computer, a stereo, and what else?

But they didn't take all your homework, right?

No, they left my Spanish notes and my religion notes.

They probably thought to themselves, we don't want them to end up like us.

They better do their homework, especially the religion homework.

If you submit your ways to God, he will work things out for your good.

We're going to be taking a good look at a very interesting story in the Bible.

So we're going to go very rapidly so make sure you take out your Bibles right now we're going to be looking at the book of Joshua what book did I say Joshua that's exactly right the name of the sermon is called sunlight control sunlight control very interesting story take your Bible let's go to Joshua chapter 10 Now this is a very interesting part of Israel's history.

And various ways and diverse manners, God led Israel to conquer their enemies.

1 particular story takes place in which God teaches special lessons to Israel in times of war.

All right, we're going to start with Joshua chapter 10.

Now it came to pass, when Adonai Zedek, king of Jerusalem, heard how Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it, as he had done to Jericho and its king.

So he had done to Ai and its king, and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them, that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like 1 of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

Therefore Adonai Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Firam king of Jarmuth, Jophia king of Lachish, and Debar king of Eglon, saying, come up to me and help me that we may attack Gibeon, for he has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

What's very interesting is that this king, he gets all these other kings to help him because they're going to go attack this ally of Israel, Gibeon.

They're going to cut off Israel's ally, thus leaving Israel vulnerable to other attacks.

But they didn't realize that Israel had worshipped the true God.

And what takes place is that Joshua musters up all his forces when he's realizing Gibeon is being attacked, and they enter into war with all these kings.

Now you can imagine just what the ferocity of the battle, you can just imagine the intensity of what's taking place.

Now pay attention, take a good look all the way to verse 7.

So Joshua ascended from Gilgag, he and all the people of Ur with him, and all the mighty men of Valor.

And the Lord said to Joshua, Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand.

Not a man of them shall stand before you.

Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly, having marched all night from Gilgag, that was about 24 miles.

So the Lord routed them before Israel, killed them, and a great slaughter of Gibeon, chased them along the road that goes to Beth-haran, and struck them as far as Azak and Mekdah.

I'm having difficulty pronouncing these names.

And it happened as they fled before Israel and were on the desert of Beth-haron that the Lord cast down large hailstones from heaven on them as far as Azekah and they died there were more who died from the hailstones than the children of Israel Then Then that the children of Israel had killed with the sword.
