On April 11th, Susan Boyle was a homemaker. On April 12th, she was a star.

Her powerhouse rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" on the TV show "Britain's Got Talent" blew away the audience. But it wasn't the TV show that made her an international sensation; it was the internet. Nine days after her stunning performance, online videos of Susan Boyle had been viewed over 100 million times.

It has been said that if Satan can win one generation of young people, he has won all the future generations. There is a spiritual battle going on for this generation of young people - your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, neighbors. Satan is not going to give up.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. recognizes that there is a heated spiritual battle for our youth today and we are fighting to win them for Christ. God has given us a battle plan to execute as we march into His battle for today's youth, and the plan for 2010 has already been set in motion. We are currently making plans for our Native youth outreach this summer.

It's getting to be that time of year in much of America where the weather really can't make up its mind. You can get a blizzard, you can get balmy, and everything in between. There's that growing anticipation of what you know is coming, maybe soon, maybe a little later. But one day pretty soon, spring is going to pop out. When we were living in New Jersey, I knew the day spring began for me. One day I saw bushes along the highway. The next day, suddenly, those bushes were covered with yellow forsythia flowers. Of course, they didn't really happen suddenly; they'd been getting ready to come for a long time. Spring had been coming for a while, even though it was invisible to me.
