When Bill Glass, Roger Staubach and McCoy
McLemore visited Florida State prison in 1974,
as part of a Bill Glass Champions for Life week-
end, Murphy was impressed with the visitors,
both world champion athletes and local business-
men. At that time Murphy had an earliest parole
date of Nov. 2225, but that weekend changed hisattitude and he devoted his future time spent in
prison to serving a higher cause.
The Bible tells us.. "ForChrist also died for sins
once for all, the just forthe unjust, in order thatHe might bring us to
God..." ( I Peter 3:18 )
The purpose of Christ'scoming to earth was to
give us the way toobtain eternal life,
through trust in Him.
"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, andthe truth is not in us. If we say that we have notsinned, we make Him a liar." ( I John 1:8-10 )
"He that believes(trusts) not the Son (as personalSavior) shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideson him." ( John 3:36 )
IF YOU WERE TO DIE TONIGHT, WHERE
WOULD YOU SPEND ETERNITY?
If you are unsure that you have eternal life, pray a
prayer similar to this, and be sure!
Lord, I confess I am a sinner. I recognize that I can
do nothing to save myself form an eternity in hell.
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I now
trust in you (Jesus Christ) to be my personal Savior
and Lord of my life, and hereby commit my life to youfor all eternity.
If you prayed this prayer, please let us know , that we
may help you in your commitment to Christ

Hoover and Zimbalist remained mutual admirers
for the rest of Hoover's life. Hoover would laterhold Zimbalist up as an image role model for
F.B.I. employees to emulate in their personal ap-pearance. Zimbalist was named an honorary spe-
cial agent in 2009 - the FBI's highest civilian
honor.(http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/06/08
)
Zimbalist is now a born-again Christian. He says
his conversion came while watching Trinity
Broadcasting Network, first for chuckles but
eventually hearing the Lord's voice and be-coming a believer.
He later hosted a daily five-minute program on
TBN, in which he read selected passages fromthe Bible.
In his autobiography,My Dinner of Herbs,
Zimbalist refused to "dish dirt" on Hollywood.He borrowed the book's title from Proverbs15:17:
"Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a
stalled ox and hatred therewith."
