Did You Hear About Our Little Retreat?
Archie Brown is looking forward to next Monday. He and his wife, Ronda, have decided to take three days off from work and go away for a time of retreat and relaxation in the Texas Hill Country. They will check into a resort, and stay in fourth story suite with a balcony overlooking a beautiful vista. They are both needing a little down time. They plan to spend part of their retreat the way Jesus did when he was exhausted, in prayer. They are ready for that break!

Did You Hear About My Card Collection?
Archie Brown is a long time collector of sports memorbilia. When he was a kid he had lots of baseball cards, especially focusing on his beloved Brooklyn Dodgers. Upon graduation from high school, Archie gave his collection to his little brother, who later gave the cards to a neighbor boy when he went away to college.
When Archie began collecting again in 1984, he quickly amassed a large number of cards. He loved to trade new rookie cards from packs of cards for older cards, like the ones he had as a boy. Archie now has sets of cards from 1952 to the present, and his collection takes up a whole room in his home.
Archie has other items than just cards, he has a basketball signed by Akeem Olajuwan, before he added the H to his first name. He has a bat signed by Hank Aaron and Sadaharu Oh, the Japanese home run king. He has a program from Mickey Mantle’s funeral. Archie loves to show off his collection and discuss the hobby of collecting, almost as much as he likes to collect new items.
One of the places Archie visits to expand his collection is the Shopwiki baseball card buyer’s guide. There he can get tips on where and how to find cards he wants, as well as products help him protect his investments.
