                    Columnist L. M. Boyd recently described the amazing good fortune of a man named Jack Wurm. In 1949, Mr. Wurm was broke and out of a job. No job and no money, just like some of us here.  One day he was walking along a San Francisco beach when he came across a bottle with a piece of paper in it. As

                    Footprints
          One night a man had a dream.
          He dreamed that he was walking along the    
          beach with the Lord. 
          Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
          He noticed two sets of footprints in the  
          sand: one belonging to him,

                    How I once truly felt: One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord 
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. 
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, 
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord. 
When the last scene of my life flashed before

                    Buttprints in the Sand
One night, I had a wondrous dream;
One set of footprints there was seen.
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
"Those prints are large and round and neat,
But,

"Walk a little slower Daddy", said a child so small.
"I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast.
Sometimes they’re hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

                    STONE AND SAND
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME

                    SHIFTING SANDS
One of my favorite things to do at the beach is to just sit or stand on the beach right where the waves wash up under my feet.  The waves are refreshing, but I like most what happens as the waves retreat.  As the waves retreat, the water takes the sand around and under my feet away.

                    Are you all familiar with the ‘Footprints’ poster that essentially says that when times get rough and there was only one set of footprints in the sand as you walked with God, that this is the time when God carried you.  How inspirational, but it’s a lie! What drivel…it all started within a heresy

As he took a date & bit into it – he found a worm inside.
He bit into another & discovered a worm in it, too.
He tried another…& saw a worm in the next one as well.

He kept on digging and found it to be a huge rock that he could barely move.  He struggled and fought to get the rock out of the box.  With one final effort he used all his strength to

Do you face battles?  Do trials and opposition buffet you and make the way ahead very hard?  This poem partly addresses that.
