FAITH IN GOD AWARD 643

                          FAITH IN GOD AWARD  643

                          Recently our son, Billy and one
                          of his friends, Charly Grogan,
                          received the Cub Scout "Faith
                          in God" award by fulfilling certain
                          church duties and requirements.

                          While basking in the natural pride
                          parents should have on such an 
                          occasion, we also reflected on
                          the possibility of one day having 
                          to stand before God and declaring
                          whether we would be worthy of
                          receiving our own "Faith in God"
                          award.

                          We suspect that many of us who
                          claim to be Christians have staked
                          our lives on our own weak abilities,
                          and finite frailties, and much less
                          in God's infinite power and wisdom.
                          
                          Faith in God...perhaps we all have
                          sufficient faith to meet our needs.
                          All we need to do is utilize and
                          exhibit the faith that we have.
