How was I to know Frank was putting one over on me? I had also fallen for the new troop trickery of being told by a su- pervisor to go get 1,000 yards of flight line and a dozen sky hooks — ASAP. I didn’t know “flight line” was another name for the runway and there’s no such things as “sky hooks.” It was just a way to test the gull- ibility of a new troop. I failed the test, but it gave my sergeant something to laugh about. Of all the books I’ve written, one of my favorites is “Prayers God Al- ways Answers.” One of the prayers is: Help me believe. Help me know what is true. When the Romans arrested Jesus in the Garden of Gethse- mane, they brought him before Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judea. As Pilate interrogated him, Jesus said, “... for this I have come into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth lis- tens to my voice” (John 18:37). Pilate asked him, “What is truth?” In an earlier exchange with his followers, Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth and the life” Special to the Chronicle (John 14:6).

CRYSTAL RIVER — Citrus already lost one tight softball game to a county rival this week. The Hurricanes weren’t about to let another one slip away. Down 5-2 after the first three innings on Friday night, Citrus took advantage of host Crystal River’s defensive miscues — including four errors in the crucial sixth inning — and secured an 8-6 victory. It was a welcome turnaround for the ’Canes (3-3), coming off a 12-11 loss to Lecanto on Tuesday. “We had some lapses in there, but overall I thought we played well. I was very impressed with our kids as far as not giving up,” Citrus head coach Larry Bishop said. “There’s a couple situa- tions in there where things happened, and Crystal River took the lead and they had things MATT PFIFFNER/Chronicle rolling.
