RUTS

                                                 RUTS


                                     Like many other Americans, our
                                     genealogical appetite was whetted as
                                     we viewed the television version of
                                     Alex Haley's epic ancestral odyssey.

                                     We stated to trace our line back and 
                                     got as far as our grandfather and
                                     suddenly found ourselves to be over
                                     our
heads in water in a deep rut. (The
                                     Atlantic Ocean to be exact, since our
                                     grandfather came over here from Wales.)

                                     So we decided it might be easier if we wrote
                                     on a subject much closer to home...OUR Ruts.

                                     Like our ancestral linage, our ruts go back many
                                     years. An
d while we may occasionally venture
                                     into a new groove as we plow
along, those old 
                                     ditches we dug so
long ago still have a tremendous
                                     gravitational pull on our souls.

                                     Not all ruts are bad. In fact, they're probably many 
                                     more good grooves in our lives than bad ones.
 
                                     It's just that the bad
ones are often publicized and 
                                     glamorized more. Often, they are more painful, too.


                                     Now faith, hope, love patience, kindness, gentleness...
                                     these are just
a few of the better ruts we now seek to
                                     cultivate
for our posterity. For, it is difficult to sow good
                                     fruit
without good ruts.
