When needed to pull in Ihe past, just wasn't doing it," he said by way of explaining his five-year victory drought. Brewer said lie wasn't particularly edgy heading into the final round with a three-stroke lead on the field and was loose on ihe first tee. "Bui when I started to get into, trouble early, I just thought to myself, 'Oh boy, here it "But 1 guess I was just destined to win." Was he-under pressure any time, especially during the late holes?

If you ask us to explain all the mysteries connueled with Iho eternal, invisible God, anrf to explain everything lhal is in the Bible, our honest confession is: We don't know all those things. God and His word are both infinite, and our finite minds can never learn all of infinity. But we are not going to let our ignorance deprive us of ihe great blessings that can be ours.

You see, there arc many things that we DO KNOW. We know them because God says them, and we know them from experience, as well.
