I would make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable. If the family crumbles, so does the nation; I would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas and movies screens, and I would call it art; I would convince the world that people are born homosexuals, and that their lifestyles should be accepted and marveled; I would convince the people that right and wrong are determined by a few who call themselves authorities and refer to their agendas as politically correct; I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, the Bible is for the naive: I would dull the minds of Christians, and make them believe that prayer is not important, and that faithfulness and obedience are optional; I GUESS I WOULD LEAVE THINGS PRETTY MUCH THE WAY THEY ARE! -<>- ,-. ,-. ,-. ,-.

Like so many things since our daughter's birth, I hadn't planned on a trip to this place. But I figured we'd see what they had since we were there. "Hi, today is stuff a bag day. Would you like one?" the clerk asked. "What is stuff a bag day?" "You take a bag and stuff it with what ever you want and it's only $3. Best deal in town." "Okay, sounds great," I said, despite the fact I hadn't planned on buying anything. I took my six-year-old daughter's hand and we started to wander around. Suddenly there was a tug on my hand and my attention was being directed to the shoe section. She shares my weakness for shoes, so we stopped for a minute to look. I let go of her hand and she reached out to touch a pair of shiny black shoes with a strap and silver buckle. "Buy me?" she inquires. "Oh, Sweetie, they are tap shoes. You aren't taking tap." "Buy me?" she repeats. "Well, let's try them on." She sits on the floor and removes her bright pink rain boots, with Barbie on the sides, and easily slides the new shoes on. A perfect fit. When she stands up she hears "click." She takes a step. Click, click. Slowly recognition dawns, as she makes the connection between the shoes and her moving feet. Click, click, click. "Buy me?" with a hopeful look in her eyes. Again, "Buy me, peas?" "Okay Sweetie, take them off and put them in the bag." We look around some more and get a few t-shirts, pants, books and games and a naked baby doll. Well, it's stuff a bag day -- might as well get my money's worth, I think to myself. The sun has come back out as we emerge from our little side trip and we continue on our way. As we near the car, Amara reaches for the bag. As she climbs into the back seat, I give her the bag wondering what treasure she is looking for. The shoes, of course. She is my daughter after all. "My wear." It's not a question, so I took the tag off and helped her with the buckle. Our next stop was the grocery store and these shoes were made to make noise, especially on my little girl's feet. This could be interesting... Click, click, click -- people turn to look as we enter the store. Click, click, click. I can feel the disapproving stares of the proper people. People who would never allow their daughter to wear tap shoes to the grocery store. I hold my head up with pride. The click, click, click is music to my ears. "Excuse me dear. Is your daughter in tap this year?" "No". "Well why on earth would you allow her to wear tap shoes, here, of all places? They make such a noise." "Yes, isn't it wonderful?" "Wonderful? My dear, this is not the place to wear those shoes." "Oh, I think this is the perfect place to wear them. You see she asked for them." "Just because she asked for them, doesn't mean you have to get them for her." "You don't understand," I said. "When she was a baby, we were told she would never walk or talk. It has taken a lot of hard work and patience but she ASKED for the shoes and the click, click, click says that she CAN walk." My daughter, the one who never stays still, or quiet, will graduate from grade twelve next year. It has not always been easy, but it has all been worthwhile. She has taught me that it doesn't matter what others think. They don't walk in your shoes. And just like the ladies in the purple hats, sometimes you simply have to wear tap shoes to the grocery store -- if for nothing else, just for the sheer joy of hearing the click, click, click. -- Pauline Fraser ___________________________________________ Pauline is married with three children, including an autistic daughter.

Whether you were trying to learn a song for your recital, or learning how to throw that curve ball, you kept practicing because you were convinced that on “game day" you would be able to do it perfectly! When I was a teenager, my friends and I chose a song to sing in church. I am an introvert, so this was definitely stepping out of my comfort zone, but they assured me that everything would be okay because we were going to practice, practice, practice! At our last practice session, we actually sounded pretty good, and felt ready to sing during worship the next day. As we stood with our mics in hand and started singing, all was going well... until my solo that is. I heard the intro music and completely forgot the first line of the verse I was singing! I stood there in panic, and a sense of embarrassment and failure came over me. Perhaps if I had done it for fun, instead of seeking perfection, I would have had better results. Years later, as an educator, we started changing this commonly used saying to “practice makes progress" because we realized that perfection is not what counts, rather the lessons learned, and the skills strengthened along the way. This is exactly the case with our spiritual life as well, friends. God doesn’t ask for perfection; he simply asks for obedience. When we come to Him, His Spirit is the one who works within us to make us more like Jesus. Step by step we are being changed into Christ's glorious image. The experience I had that one Sunday years ago, helped mold my character and perspective to serve God faithfully and leave the results up to him, not me. Perhaps you have put off serving God because you don’t feel ready, or you are focusing on your flaws more than anything else. I encourage you to trust God’s will for your life. As long as we are seeking God first in all we do, we will continually make progress in our growth journey. Our obedience to God is what He will use to impact the world around us. Suggested prayer: Dear God, thank you for using me just the way I am. Help me continue to be transformed by your spirit more and more each day so that I can reflect Christ to those around me. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. In Jesus Christ's name, amen. 1. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT).

These words probably took you to the scene of a courtroom where a witness is being sworn in, with one hand raised while the other is placed over a Bible. But where do you think those words came from? Yes, from the Bible itself! The ninth commandment goes far beyond the courtroom. It is part of a set of rules and guidelines given to us by the God of justice. A God who took the time to make laws against murder, stealing, adultery, blasphemy and lying because He cares and wants to protect us from the pain that these sins incur. It is in God’s nature to be truthful because HE IS TRUTH! (John 14:6) As followers of the One True God, we are called to tell the truth... and nothing but the truth. There is no such thing as a “little white lie". All lies are hurtful and destructive. Whether we exaggerate stories or twist the truth to impress others; whether we make false advertisements or fib to avoid trouble or because it’s convenient at the time, lies poison our relationships. No matter the form of our dishonesty and duplicity, God's will for us is to stop lying and tell the truth. When legendary magician, Harry Houdini, came into town to do his show, he often went to the local jail, gathering a crowd of people along the way. To get buzz going about his upcoming performance, he asked the jailer to lock him in a cell. Time after time, jail after jail, town after town, Houdini escaped within minutes. But one jailer had heard that Houdini was coming, and the jailer was ready. When Houdini closed the cell door, the jailer put the key in the lock and secretly turned it in the wrong direction. He then removed the key, and everyone watched as Houdini struggled to escape - by unknowingly locking himself in repeatedly. Finally, in frustration, Houdini admitted he could not escape. The jailer then revealed his deception. Houdini had believed a lie, and the lie had held him captive.2 Regardless of whether we are in a courtroom or if it has just become a part of our act, God’s Word is clear on the subject. “Thou shalt not lie"; however He does offer a way to escape - Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life--" and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free." (John 8:32) Suggested Prayer: Dear Holy Father, your Word is clear and without error. You gave us these rules out of a great love for your people. I am so grateful for your mercy and your grace by which I am set free to live an abundant life in you. In Jesus Christ’s name, Amen. 1. Exodus 20:16. 2.

At the prodding of my friends, I am writing this story. My name is Mildred Hondorf. I am a former elementary school music teacher from Des Moines, Iowa I've always supplemented my income by teaching piano lessons-something I've done for over 30 years. Over the years I found that children have many levels of musical ability. I've never had the pleasure of having a prodigy though I have taught some talented students. However I've also had my share of what I call 'musically challenged' pupils. One such student was Robby. Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single Mom) dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer that students (especially boys!) begin at an earlier age, which I explained to Robby. But Robby said that it had always been his mother's dream to hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student. Well, Robby began with his piano lessons and from the beginning I thought it was a hopeless endeavor. As much as Robby tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm needed to excel. But he dutifully reviewed his scales and some elementary pieces that I require all my students to learn. Over the months he tried and tried while I listened and cringed and tried to encourage him. At the end of each weekly lesson he'd always say, 'My mom's going to hear me play someday.' But it seemed hopeless. He just did not have any inborn ability. I only knew his mother from a distance as she dropped Robby off or waited in her aged car to pick him up. She always waved and smiled but never stopped in. Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to pursue something else. I also was glad that he stopped coming. He was a bad advertisement for my teaching! Several weeks later I mailed to the student's homes a flyer on the upcoming recital. To my surprise Robby (who received a flyer) asked me if he could be in the recital. I told him that the recital was for current pupils and because he had dropped out he really did not qualify. He said that his mother had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. 'Miss Hondorf, I've just got to play!' he insisted. I don't know what led me to allow him to play in the recital. Maybe it was his persistence or maybe it was something inside of me saying that it would be all right. The night for the recital came. The high school gymnasium was packed with parents, friends and relatives. I put Robby up last in the program before I was to come up and thank all the students and play a finishing piece. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and I could always salvage his poor performance through my 'curtain closer.' Well, the recital went off without a hitch. The students had been practicing and it showed. Then Robby came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair looked like he'd run an eggbeater through it. 'Why didn't he dress up like the other students?' I thought. 'Why didn't his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?' Robby pulled out the piano bench and he began. I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen Mozart's Concerto #21 in C Major. I was not prepared for what I heard next. His fingers were light on the keys, they even danced nimbly on the ivories. He went from pianissimo to fortissimo. From allegro to virtuoso. His suspended chords that Mozart demands were magnificent! Never had I heard Mozart played so well by people his age. After six and a half minutes he ended in a grand crescendo and everyone was on their feet in wild applause. Overcome and in tears I ran up on stage and put my arms around Robby in joy. 'I've never heard you play like that Robby! How'd you do it?' Through the microphone Robby explained: 'Well Miss Hondorf, Remember I told you my Mom was sick? Well, actually she had cancer and passed away this morning And well ... She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she ever heard me play I wanted to make it special.' There wasn't a dry eye in the house that evening. As the people from Social Services led Robby from the stage to be placed into foster care, noticed that even their eyes were red and puffy and I thought to myself how much richer my life had been for taking Robby as my pupil. No, I've never had a prodigy but that night I became a prodigy. . . Of Robby's. He was the teacher and I was the pupil for it is he that taught me the meaning of perseverance and love and believing in yourself and maybe even taking a chance in someone and you don't know why. Robby was killed in the senseless bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April of 1995. And now, a footnote to the story.

So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we act with compassion or do we pass up that opportunity and leave the world a bit colder in the process?

But it is sometimes hard to hear the message when it is broadcast by equipment that is dirty, corroded and abused. Carver was born 150 years ago, before we used terms like toxic waste, air pollution, global warming and deforestation. Today, we have figured out that we need to take good care of the broadcasting station if we are to hear what the Divine is saying. This is a beautiful and fragile planet we live on. As much as we can fall in love with magnificent sunsets and pristine landscapes, few people have ever experienced its beauty as acutely as those who've seen it from afar. Senator Jake Garn was one of those privileged people. He observed earth aboard Discovery Space Shuttle and wrote of that experience in "Parade Magazine" (11-3-85). "I know now what if feels like to be out of this world," he said. "The experience is exhilarating, breathtaking, awesome. No. Those words aren't strong enough; space flight is indescribable. " Listen to these words from his space diary: "I was overcome by the beauty of the earth below. I don't think the words exist to convey what it's like to see the earth from space. The curve of the earth, the swirling eddies, the patterns of clouds marbling the surface above the brilliantly blue color of the water and the blue-green of the land. the sheer beauty of the earth and the excitement of being in a position to see it made this the greatest experience of my life. Using binoculars, I once counted 22 discernible layers of blue in the band of sunrise color that would be seen from earth simply as blue." This is indeed a beautiful and fragile planet. But it's changing. And we humans are the cause of much of it. George Burns once quipped, "I can remember when the air was clean and s%x was dirty." All right, he lived to be 100, but we can bring those days of clean air back. We can live simply and responsibly. We can walk gently upon the face of the earth. And with our broadcasting station once again in good order, I think I know what we'll hear God saying: "Thank you." -- Steve Goodier --- ...We do need to care for this planet. . | . \ | / `. \ ' / .' `. .-*""*-. .'

I do know, that God is the one to keep it from failing while it exists until it is time for a new heaven and earth. God has given us this promise: Genesis 8:20-22 "And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."

Many of us (many more than we realize) are facing trials which are sometimes quite severe. When we are finally invited into someone's private world and allowed to hear of their pain, it can be difficult to know what to do or say. As we grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus, we learn of His truths: "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). We understand and usually have some actual experience with God's loving plan and purpose; "in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him" (Romans 8:28). But there are times when this type of advice - even this type of truth - can be a little cold and fail to comfort or draw someone closer to God. While it's absolutely true that God will use our pain and suffering for His glory and for our ultimate good, it may not be the first response someone needs to hear when they enter a difficult trial; "There is a time for everything... a time to be silent and a time to speak" (Ecclesiastes 3:1,7). We must learn to be sensitive to the more immediate need. When Lazarus became very sick, Mary and Martha sent word to Jesus but He did not come until after Lazarus died. Mary fell at Jesus' feet and cried: "Lord if You had been here, my brother would not have died" (John 11:32). At that moment, Jesus did NOT begin preaching "Rejoice in the Lord always!" (Philippians 4:4). There would be other opportunities for sermons, other opportunities to speak about faith and trust, but in this moment the need simply required compassion. John 11:33,35 "When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled... Jesus wept." The Son of The Creator of the Universe wept! From the beginning of time, God knew Jesus was going to raise Lazarus from the dead; He knew many lives would soon be changed through this miracle. Though good would ultimately come from this pain and sorrow, these were real people who were grieving: "Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus" (John 11:5). In this time of greatest need, Jesus took time to show He truly cared and understood their pain. The world is in great need of the healing power of Jesus Christ. Sin has caused separation from God and left many lives in a mess. As we minister through encouragement and the truth of God's Word, we are called to do so while "speaking the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15). But love does not exist outside of a relationship. And in a loving relationship we will often best demonstrate God's truth by listening and providing comfort with a Godly compassion. Have a Christ Centered Day!

But we also saw that belief is much more than a mere acknowledgement of existence; "Even the demons believe that - and shudder" (James 2:19). Eternal life is a gift given only to those who so intensely believe that Jesus is the only way to receive forgiveness that they stand before a living God and enter into a relationship of an eternal covenant. Covenants were first introduced by God to Noah after the flood; "I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood" (Genesis 9:11). Over the years, God made covenants with Abraham (Genesis 15), the nation of Israel through Moses (Exodus 19), and with David (2 Samuel 7). In each case, God initiated the covenant and clearly established the guidelines. Through the prophet Jeremiah, God spoke about the new covenant He would make through Jesus; "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people" (Jeremiah 31:33). This new covenant was designed to be permanent and under God's complete protection: "I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to respect Me, so that they will never turn away from Me" (Jeremiah 32:40). Through the prophet Ezekiel, God gave further indication of how this would be accomplished. Ezekiel 36:26-27 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit in you and move you to follow My decrees and be careful to keep My laws." When we truly believe in Jesus, we enter into a covenant and God transforms our heart by His Spirit; "a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance" (Ephesians 1:14). At that moment we are "sealed for the day of redemption" (Ephesians 4:30). And when we enter into His saving covenant, we are purchased with the blood of Jesus: "You are not your own; you were bought at a price" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We are still called to continue in the faith, but God has promised we WILL continue; "He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 1:8). He is the giver and sustainer of eternal life; "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish" (John 10:28). There is great debate whether this covenant can ever be broken, whether it is truly eternal, whether we can ever walk away or lose what has been given. But perhaps this debate only distracts from the greater truth: We are called to love God and continue to love Him with all our heart. This calling is clear! Let's remain within His arms of love, and trust that as we do, we are eternally secure. Have a Christ Centered Day!

When God takes you to a depth of soul experience be alert to new truths and new perspectives. During these times God often leads us to amazing new discoveries. It can be a storehouse of unexpected riches for the soul. Bible teacher F. B. Meyer once observed, "Whenever you get into a prison of circumstances, be on watch. Prisons are rare places for seeing things. It was in prison that Bunyan saw his wondrous allegory and Paul met the Lord and John looked through heaven's open door and Joseph saw God's mercy. God has no chance to show His mercy to some of us except when we are in some distressing sorrow. The night is the time to see the stars."1 I began writing TGIF Today God Is First daily devotionals in the middle of a seven year period of darkness. Today, the devotionals are read daily by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. God has revealed to me secret things that have benefited countless others. Writing has become a central focus of God's work in me. If I had not gone through that dark time, I wouldn't be an author today. We must live each day to the fullest. We can't live in the past or in the future. We must live in the moment God that gives us right now. Our time of deliverance will come according to God's schedule. Meanwhile, we need to be faithful in doing what God has given us to do and be content in the place where He has placed us. When we go through a trial of adversity, we need to understand that God is performing radical surgery on our life. The purpose of this surgery is not to destroy us, but to give us a new heart. God is making a fundamental change in who we are and who we will be. And, He will always reveal treasures from these secret places if we are willing to walk through the process patiently. as seen in Today God is First -<>- .:::. .:::. /:::::\ /:':':\ | _ | | _ | | (_` | | |_) | | ,_) | | | | | | jgs | | /`'---'`\ /`'---'`\ `'-----'` `'-----'` >SAY WHAT YOU MEAN TO SAY Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. --Colossians 4:6 There was a woman once who developed a very serious throat condition. And as a result, her doctor prescribed medication and no talking for six months! She thought this would be almost impossible with a husband and six children, but she obeyed the doctor's orders. For the next six months, when she needed the attention of her children, she blew a whistle...her instructions became written memos...and questions and answers were written down on pads of paper she had placed around the house. After six months, the doctor finally allowed her to talk again. Interestingly enough, her first comments were very revealing. She said her children had become calmer and quieter, and as a result she said, "I don't think I'll ever shout again like I used to." When asked about the notes, she replied, "You'd be surprised how many hastily written notes I crumpled up and threw in the trash before I gave them to anyone to read. Seeing my own harsh words that I would've spoken had an effect on me that I don't think I'll ever forget." Many things come out of our mouths before we realize it—gossip, praise, slander, lying, and so on. The Scripture says, "No man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. ...My brothers [and sisters], this should not be" (James 3:8-10). Today, make a conscious effort to think about what you say. Determine to listen before speaking, to evaluate the words you use, and ensure your speech doesn't hurt others (see Titus 2:6-8). PRAYER CHALLENGE: Pray that God will help you think about what you say today...so that only good things come out of your mouth. as seen in Daily Living For Seniors --- ...To better understand: .:::. .:::. /:::::\ /:':':\ | _ | | _ | | (_` | | |_) | | ,_) | | | | | | jgs | | /`'---'`\ /`'---'`\ `'-----'` `'-----'` 'Seasoned With Salt' see Orientalisms Of The Bible Here: #4.

Do we change bodies? Is the new one different than this one? Will I recognize anyone? Will anyone recognize me? “He will take these dying bodies of ours and change them into glorious bodies like his own” (Phil. 3:21 TLB). Your body will be changed. You will not receive a different body; you will receive a renewed body. Just as God can make an oak out of a kernel or a tulip out of a bulb, he makes a “new” body out of the old one. A body without corruption. A body without weakness. A body without dishonor. A body identical to the body of Jesus. Would you like a sneak preview of your new body? We have one by looking at the resurrected body of our Lord. After his resurrection, Jesus spent forty days in the presence of people. The resurrected Christ was not in a disembodied, purely spiritual state. On the contrary, he had a body—a touchable, visible body. Jesus didn’t come as a mist or a wind or a ghostly specter. He came in a body. A body that maintained a substantial connection with the body he originally had. A body that had flesh and bones. Real enough to walk on the road to Emmaus, real enough to appear in the form of a gardener, real enough to eat breakfast with the disciples at Galilee. Jesus had a real body. (Luke 24:13-35; John 20:10-18; John 21:12-14.) At the same time, this body was not a clone of his earthly body. Mark tells us that Jesus “appeared in another form” (Mark 16:12 RSV). While he was the same, he was different. So different that Mary Magdalene, his disciples on the sea, and his disciples on the path to Emmaus did not recognize him. Though he invited Thomas to touch his body, he passed through a closed door to be in Thomas’s presence. (John 20:14; John 21:1-4; Luke 24:16; John 20:26) So what do we know about the resurrected body of Jesus? It was unlike any the world had ever seen. What do we know about our resurrected bodies? They will be unlike any we have ever imagined. Will we look so different that we aren’t instantly recognized? Perhaps. (We may need nametags.) Will we be walking through walls? Chances are we’ll be doing much more. Will we still bear the scars from the pain of life? The marks of war. The disfigurements of disease. The wounds of violence. Will these remain on our bodies? That is a very good question. Jesus, at least for forty days, kept his. Will we keep ours? On this issue, we have only opinions, but my opinion is that we won’t. Peter tells us that “by his wounds you have been healed” (1 Pet. 2:24 NIV). In heaven’s accounting, only one wound is worthy to be remembered. And that is the wound of Jesus. Our wounds will be no more. God is going to renew your body and make it like his. What difference should this make in the way you live? Your body, in some form, will last forever. Respect it. You will live forever in this body. It will be different, mind you. What is now crooked will be straightened. What is now faulty will be fixed. Your body will be different, but you won’t have a different body. You will have this one. Does that change the view you have of it? I hope so. Your pain will NOT last forever. Believe it. Are your joints arthritic? They won’t be in heaven. Is your heart weak? It will be strong in heaven. Has cancer corrupted your system? There is no cancer in heaven. Are your thoughts disjointed? Your memory failing? Your new body will have a new mind. Does this body seem closer to death than ever before? It should. It is. And unless Christ comes first, your body will be buried. Like a seed is placed in the ground, so your body will be placed in a tomb. And for a season, your soul will be in heaven while your body is in the grave. But the seed buried in the earth will blossom in heaven. Your soul and body will reunite, and you will be like Jesus.

I could not go to sleep, so I lay wake and looked; and I saw, and it seemed like this: That I stood on a grassy plateau, and at my feet a precipice broke sheer down into infinite space. I looked, but saw no bottom; only cloud shapes, black and furiously coiled, and great shadow shrouded hollows and unfathomable depths. Back I drew, dizzy at the depth. Then I saw forms of people moving single-file along the grass. They were making for the edge. There was a woman with a baby in her arms and another little child holding on to her dress. She was on the very verge. Then I saw that she was blind. She lifted her foot for the next step.... it trod air. She was over, and the children over with her. Oh, the cry as they went over! Then I saw more streams of people flowing from all quarters. All were blind, stone blind; all made straight for the precipice edge. There were shrieks, as they suddenly knew themselves falling, and a tossing up of helpless arms, catching, clutching at empty air. But some went over quietly and fell without a sound. Then I wondered, with a wonder that was simply agony, why no one stopped them at the edge. I could not. I was glued to the ground, and I could not call. Though I strained and tried, only a whisper came. Then I saw that along the edge there were sentries set at intervals. But the intervals were far too great; there were wide, unguarded gaps between. And over these gaps the people fell in their blindness, quite unwarned; and the green grass seemed blood red to me, and the gulf yawned like the mouth of Hell. Then I saw, like the picture of peace, a group of people under some trees, with their backs toward the gulf. They were making daisy chains. Sometimes when a piercing shriek cut the quiet air and reached them, it disturbed them and they thought it a rather vulgar noise. And if one of their number started up and wanted to go and do something to help, then all the others would pull that one down. 'Why should you get so excited about it? You must wait for a definite 'call' to go. You haven't finished your daisy chains. "It would be really selfish," they said, "to leave us to finish this work alone." There was another group. It was made up of people whose great desire was to get some sentries out; but they found that few wanted to go, so it was that sometimes there were no sentries for miles and miles at the edge. Once a girl stood alone in her place, waving the people back; but her mother and other relatives called and reminded her that her furlough was due; she must not break the "rules." And, being tired and needing a change, she had to go and rest awhile; but no one was sent to guard her gap, and over and over the people fell, like a waterfall of souls. Once a child caught at a tuft of grass that grew at the very brink of the gulf; the child clung convulsively, and it called, but nobody seemed to hear. Then the roots of the grass gave way, and with a cry the child went over, its two little hands still holding tight the torn off bunch of grass. And the girl who longed to be back in her gap thought she heard the little one cry, and she sprang up and wanted to go; at which her relatives reproved her, reminding her that no one is necessary anywhere - the gap would be well taken care of, they knew. And they sang a hymn. Then through the hymn came another sound like the pain of a million broken hearts wrung out in one full drop, one sob. And a horror of great darkness was upon ME, for I knew that it was the cry of blood. Where were the heralds? Where are the men and women of God who will sacrifice self to preach Christ to a dying world? The definite call is to you beloved child of God. All that are redeemed belong to God. He has a distinct claim upon every saved soul and says to all, "As My Father hath sent me, even so send I you" (John 20:21). Then thundered a voice, the voice of the Lord; and He said, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I; send me." And He said, "Go, and tell this people..." (From Isaiah 6:8; Mark 16:15). The Lord Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature ... and lo, I am with you always..."

And followed it with His loving eyes As it wandered here and there. And as He sat by His grazing flock Who so meekly His voice obeyed, He pondered sadly His little lamb As again and again it strayed. The little lamb had a loving heart, And adored His Shepherd, true, But would turn aside and seek his own way As lambs will so often do. With His gentle voice the Shepherd called, To His loved and straying lamb, "Come back, little one, for you are not safe Unless you are where I am." But still the lamb would soon forget, And unthinkingly wander away, And not really noticing what he did, From the Shepherd's side would stray. Until one day, the Shepherd knew, The lamb wandered to a rocky land, And what happened to the little one, The lamb could not understand. For with one sharp and sudden fall, Down the lamb so swiftly came, And the small leg broke of the little lamb, And left it crippled, and lame. Then the little lamb, with a cry of pain, Fell down upon his knees... And looked up at his Shepherd, as though to say, "Won't you explain this, please?" Then he saw the love in the Shepherd's eyes, As the tears ran down His face, As He tenderly set the broken bone, And bound it back in its place. Now he was utterly helpless, He could not even stand! He must trust himself completely, To his Shepherd's loving hand. Then day by day, 'till the lamb was healed, From the flock he was kept apart... And carried about in the Shepherd's arms, And cradled near to His heart. And the Shepherd would whisper gentle words, Into his now listening ear... Thus he heard sweet words of love, That the other sheep could not hear. He felt the warmth of the Shepherd's arms, And the beat of His faithful heart... Until it came a blessing to seem, By his weakness to be set apart. Every need of the little lamb, By his Shepherd so fully was met, That through his brokenness he learned, What he never again would forget. And as the broken bone was healed, And once more became whole and strong... Wherever the Shepherd's path would lead, The lamb would follow along. Thus at the Shepherd's side he walked, So closely, day by day, For once a lamb has a broken leg, It will never again go astray. For the cords of love had bound it so, In its hour of weakness and need... That it had no desire to wander away, When once again it was freed. Could it be you are broken today, And you cannot understand, The pain and disgrace you suffer from, Just being away from His loving hand? He only seeks, during this moment, For a time to call you apart... To cradle you close in His loving arms, And draw you near to His heart. So look up into your Shepherd's eyes, And earnestly seek His face... And prove in the hour of your weakness and need, The sufficiency of His grace. For as you are borne in His loving arms, And carried there, day by day... He will bind you so close with, the cords of His love, That never again will you stray! -author unknown >Updated FUN STUFF URLS - Oh Yeah, Shangy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ShangralaFamilyFun.com/urls.html FUN URLS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -->ShangyFunList AD RATES: $25 will get your a message (of up to 40 words) out to all web site list readers.
