I'm so thankful to have you join me on the Mayberry Bible Study Podcast. I hope you enjoy your visit with me here in Mayberry and that you learn something along the way that may help you in your life. A study of God's word can't help but be helpful to us in growing our character, even if that study is inspired by The Andy Griffith Show.

Lesson Introduction:

Barney decides to make a big purchase – his first car! A sweet, older lady from Mt. Pilot brings in her deceased husband’s vehicle to meet with Barney’s approval.  It seems like a great deal to him, but Andy suggests he think about it some more or at least have Wally look at it first.  Barney simply can’t wait and closes the deal.   The car turns out to be a lemon, and Mrs. Lesch proves she isn’t much better.
