                                                                                       HIGHER, HIGHER

                                   Many years ago, when we were living in a 
                                   two-story home, the door to the second floor 
                                   became accidentally closed and locked. Now,
                                   having no key for the door to an upper floor
                                   can often lead to frustrating anxiety. (And for 
                                   a while, it did, too).

                                   To solve this problem, we called a good Baptist 
                                   neighbor who hurried down to our home with his 
                                   extension ladder.

                                   We can happily (?) report that his ladder was just 
                                   barely tall enough to reach the front porch roof.

                                   Determined not to avail ourselves of the almost out 

                                   of reach ladder a second time, again, we forced open 
                                   one of the bedroom screens. (We already knew that
                                   the window was unlocked.)

                                   Ever so gingerly, we slowly climbed, one rung at a
                                   time until were able to stand on the roof, open the
                                   window and take out the screen.
                                   As we did so, our frightened, over-sized faithful dog, 
                                   Pup-Pup crawled out on the roof.

                                   After a few unrepeatable words and moments, we 

                                   managed to push Pup-Pup and ourselves through the 
                                   window and, once again, save the day.

                                   Climbing the ladder of success (especially the spiritual
                                   one) is no easy task. Nevertheless, we have discovered
                                   that the climb is necessary and important to our well
                                   being. For, you see, every rung does go higher, higher.
