PSALM 49:1,2,6,7,15 Hear ye, all my people Give ear all ye inhabitants of the world Both high and low rich and poor together They that trust in their wealth and boast of themselves in the multitude of their riches None of them can by any means redeem their brother nor give to God a ransom for him But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave for he shall receive me Selah

IN THE DARK We enjoyed a recent article in Guideposts magazine about a mother and her six-year old son. It had been a tiring day and finally in desperation, the mother said, "I am going to blow a fuse if I don't get your full cooperation." "Don't blow a fuse, said her young son, "or you'll put out the lights." Talk about power shortages! Every time we overload our communicative and psychological systems, we seem to find ourselves eating a cold supper in the dark. Fortunately, the Holy Spirit continually presses our reset buttons and keeps the need scrupulous needed power flowing into our souls. (This article was written in 1977. And after all these years, I still to manage to blow a fuse, which I truly regret.) ONE SPEED Can you believe this? (Yes you can believe it!) Already (since May) in fact, our four children keep talking about the bicycles their "Gramps" is going to get them for Christmas. The weekly conversation goes something like this... "I want a three-speed bike." (Tammy, age 10) "And i want a ten speed." (Billy, age 8) "Me too!" (Matt, age 6) "Yea!!!" (Heather, age 3) "Well, says their father, "all you're going to get is a one speed bike. Your grandfather's bike had only one speed. Our bike has only one speed. And your bikes are only going to have one speed...SLOW!" As the old song suggest, May to December can, at times, be a long, long time. (P.S. They got what they wanted.)
