I was at the service for Mary Ellen’s father this past Monday. There was grief. There were tears. But I sensed God’s presence there, as well. Through the grief, when the tears were flowing, He was right there, crying right along with the family and friends, feeling the pain and loss every bit as

SACRIFICIAL LOVE:
(Poem by Ruth Bell Graham)
Had I been Joseph’s mother
I’d have prayed
protection from his brothers
"God, keep him safe.
He is so young,
so different from
the others."
Mercifully,
she never knew
there would be slavery
and prison too.
Had I been Moses’ mother
I’d have

‘Once on a time there lived a man,’
But he has lived alway,
And that gaunt, good Samaritan

Unnoticed and unknown,

“At The Foot Of The Cross”
A poem by Naomi Durik
The ground is level at the foot of the cross
God shows no preference there,
He sent His dear Son to die for all
The sins of the world to bear.
The ground is level at the foot of the cross
It’s for all who will accept Him by grace,
Salvation is

Mary Had The Little Lamb
Mary had the little Lamb, who lived before His birth;
Self-existent Son of God, from Heaven He came to Earth.
Mary had the little Lamb; see Him in yonder stall --
Virgin-born Son of God, to save man from the Fall.
Mary had the little Lamb, obedient Son of

Security and peace of mind come when we recognize that even though we cannot control certain circumstances, God can. Annie Johnson Flint, almost an invalid, understood how confidence in God leads to peace of mind when she wrote a poem titled, "But God":
I know not, but God knows;
Oh, blessed

Longfellow could take a once cent sheet of paper, write a poem on it, and make it worth thousands- that is genius- not many of us have it. Rockefeller could sign his name to a small piece of paper and make it worth millions- that is called capital- and some of us do not have much of it. The U.S.

Leave it to the ministers,
And soon the church will die;
Leave it to the women folk,
And some will pass it by;
For the church is all that lifts us
From the coarse and selfish mob,
And the church that is to prosper
Needs the laymen on the job.
Now a layman has his business,
And a

There is an ancient door on display in St. Patrick’s cathedral in Dublin, Ireland. The rough hewn door has a rectangular hole hacked out in its center. It is called the “Door of Reconciliation,” and gives rise to the Irish expression of “chancing one’s arm.” In 1492, two prominent Irish
