 IF OUR HEARTS ARE RIGHT WITH GOD 224

                              Wrote Charles Sorley...

                              "The gates are open on the road
                              that leads to beauty and to God."

                              No walls, no matter how thick
                              No fences, no matter how high
                              No guards, no matter how many
                              Can keep us encumbered or bound
                              If our hearts are right with God
                         
                              If our hearts are right with God
                              Walls become windows
                              Fences become rose trellises
                              Guards become our friends
                              No chains may fetter
                              The upward bound soul


                              God's gates are always open
                              To those who would enter in

                              (Written on October 3, 1976,

LIFE ITSELF 641

​                                   LIFE ITSELF 641


                   "The happy man," wrote R.J. Baugham, 
                     "is he who lives the life of love, not for 
                     the honors it may bring, but for life itself."

                    That kind word, that reassuring look,
                    that gentle way that lifts the burdens of another...
                    This is the stuff that life's made of.

                    To share the story of our life and the mercy 
                    and grace and love which has continually
                    been poured out upon us by a merciful 
                    and loving Lord., what greater honor is there?

                   To Love, not for honors, but for the sake of
                   love only, ah, that is...Life itself.

GOING, GOING, GONE

​                                                       GOING, GOING, GONE

                                        2020 has finally slipped away
                                        And a new year has taken its
                                        place. 2020 will always be
                                        zed recognized as the year
​                                        of the deadly pandemic whose
                                        tentacles of sickness and death
                                        touched hundreds of thousands
                                        around the globe.

                                        Thousands of businesses closed,
                                        many lost their well paying jobs 

                                        
                                        And in the U.S., the Democrats
                                        managed to take control of
                                        all three branches of government.
                                        It will be more than interesting
                                        to see how that turns out.
 
                                       On the positive side, more prayers
                                       were said, more scriptures read,
​                                       more neighbors helped more neighbors,
                                       and we all learned virtually to do anything.

                                       For those of you who weathered
                                       storms and basically arrived into
                                       the new year unscathed, you were
                                       fortunate and blessed, indeed
