OUT OF THE TUNNEL  163

                                                     OUT OF THE TUNNEL  163

                                            An unknown writer has written...

                              "Some of us may enter the light sooner
                              sooner than others. But we are all moving
                              towards it."

                              A train in a tunnel does not bring each
                              passenger at the same time out of darkness
                              into the light of day.

                              Those in the front part of the train are the 
                              first to see the glimmer of light.
                              They leave the tunnel behind while their
                              fellow passengers are still in the dark.

                              But even while the train is in the tunnel
                              all are moving towards the light.

                              So all who have started on the journey
                              towards health of body and soul...may
                              reach their destination as long as they
                              continue toward the light.

                                           
                                                        Out of the tunnel                     
                                       Into the light
                                       Hello to sunshine
                                       Goodbye to the night
                                       Farewell to wrong doing

                                       We cling to the right
                                       Victory is ours
                                       If we'll stay in the fight

SO LONG, 2017

                                                                      SO LONG, 2017
 
                                         I don't know about your life
                                         in 2017, but ours was pretty
                                         mixed bag, with many a ups
                                         and downs, especially in the 
                                         area of sicknesses. Both Donna
                                         had continuous minor illnesses
                                         throughout the year. 
                            
                                         However, we must admit, our
                                         Heavenly Father has been kind  
                                         and gracious to us this pass year
                                         in spite of our sins faults and
                                         shortcomings.

                                         Someone (or many) surly must
                                         have been praying for us because 
                                         beginning with the week before
                                         Christmas, both of us began to
                                         be virtually cured of our ailments.
 
                                         We are both old enough now to
                                         realize that all God's children,
                                         sooner or later, are going to
                                         encounter unwanted troubles
                                         or tragedies.
       
                                         We personally are acquainted
                                         with those widowed, single mothers,
                                         senior citizens with old age problems,
                                         mounting, plus many others who 
                                         have struggles in their lives. 
                
                                         For those of you who made it through
                                         2017, I guess that includes you,if you'r
                                         still reading this. We are glad you
                                         made it.
                              
                                         No matter your circumstances, we
                                         wish and hope for you a new year
                                         in 2018 ten times better than last year.

                                         With love and best wishes,
                                         Bill and Donna Morgan

DARK AND COLD THE WINTER NIGHT

12/22/2017

​                                                       DARK AND COLD THE WINTER NIGHT

                                      Dark and cold the winter night
                                      With neither moon nor stars in sight
                                      Not a single solitary sound
                                      As snow lightly began to fall
                                      From heaven way up high
                                      And I thought I saw an angel
                                      Flying by

                                      For all the misery, suffering and pain
                                      Of so many friends I have known
                                      I could not answer the question,
                                      Why

                                      Yet, deep down inside the center
                                      Of my soul, I sensed the answer
                                      To my whying cry
                                     
                                      Without that suffering and pain
                                      Never would I have known
                                      The healing power of my God
                                      So kind, so sweet, so eternal

​                                                     INSIDE JOB

                                                             To change the face of a person,
                                         or nation, we first have to change
                                         the character of the inner man.

                                         To apply new economic programs
                                         or social reforms as a balm to our 
                                         national ills is merely treating surface
                                         symptoms.
                                    
                                         To solely blame industry, business,
                                         education or politics for our country's
                                         woes is to simply skirt around the real
                                         culprits...you and me.

                                         Everyone has the responsibility to 
                                         continually re-examine themselves and
                                         their motives...to ask, "What is my
                                         moral direction, where am I going?"

                                         Walt Kelley was right, you know,
                                         when he had his possum, Pogo, exclaim     
                                         "We has met the enemy and he is us."

THE BEST BIRD IN THE FOREST

                                                    THE BEST BIRD IN THE FOREST

                                       "Use what talents you have,"
                                       Wrote Henry Van Dyke.
                                       "The woods would be very silent, 
                                       If no birds sang there."              

                        Maybe you aren't the best bird in the forest right now
                        Maybe your warble is a little weak
                        Maybe you are a little too long or too short in the beak
                        Maybe your fine feathered friends call you a freak
                        Maybe, just maybe, they don’t understand
                        The heights that you seek
                    
                        Fly higher, sing better, go on, go on
                        Give it your best
                        Develop your talents
                        Lead all the rest 
                        Don’t settle for worms
                        Or corn on the ground
                        But soar to the top
                        Where the eagles are found

PROCRASTINATION

12/15/2017

0 Comments

 
                                              PROCRASTINATION

                                      "Procrastination," wrote 
                                      Don Marquis, "is the art of keeping
                                      up with yesterday."

                                      Keeping up with yesterday is
                                      almost as difficult as getting ahead
                                      of tomorrow.

                                      While it is pleasant to have
                                      fond memories of yesterday...
                                      And glorious dreams and hopes
                                      for the future...
                                      The present time is for the work at hand.


                                      If we are to strengthen our character,
                                      it must be done today.
                                      If we are to repent of sins,
                                      it must be done today
                                      If we are to love our families,
                                      and neighbors, it must be done today.

                                      Seldom do we procrastinate in
                                      the right direction, at the proper time.
                                      May we look well to this day.

​                                                        ISAIAH 15:6,7

                                                  For the waters of Nimrim
                                                  shall be desolate
                                                  for the hay is withered away
                                                  the grass faileth
                                                  there is no green thing

                                                  Therefore, the abundance
                                                  they have gotten
                                                  and that which they have
                                                  laid up, shall they carry away
                                                  to the brook of the willows
