For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 is one of the most widely quoted Bible verses. It has been said that it is the "Gospel in a nutshell" (more here).
We got the woodburned keychain free at the checkout counter of Ace Hardware on West Market Street. Old-timey hardware stores and barbershops is the U.S. South are famous for homemade give-aways. Sometimes the same person makes an item for a store for years and it becomes the store's trademark item. Often, there is humor associated with the items. When used to go to the barbershop on the corner of Lees Chapel and Church Street, the barber gave away hand-painted 1" birdhouses. Actually, he called them mosquito houses. For sure these give-aways are conversation pieces, and that's what we southerners like most-- a chance for fellowship..... eternally.
