Joshua 4:6 “In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD.” Have you ever had a Little Debbie's snack? Nutty bars Swiss rolls Cup cakes Oatmeal Creme pies 157 billion have been sold since 1960. There's nothing little about that. There were two things I looked forward to on the after school bus-ride home: cartoons and Little Debbie's snacks. One of my sons saw
