Recipe for an Incredible Life Mix 1 pound of Grief with 2 cups of Hardship. Slowly blend in a few good books.

Bake for a lifetime. Serve. Repeat and repeat again.

She was 34. Her little son was nine. At her untimely death, that nine year old whittled wooden pegs that would be used like nails to assemble his mom’s casket. His dad loaded his wife’s coffin on a sled and pulled it to a deep woods, where they buried this dear woman. The young boy is said to have cried at his mother’s grave, praying for her to come back. When the dad and his boy

were about to transition to another town, the boy could barely be pulled from that grave in the woods.

But that boy had somewhere to go.

That little lad made it through the loss, but he always said that he was what he was because of his mom. In the coming years, he would console his grief and kindle his hope through reading and re-reading books. His family had little money, and so the books he got he just kept reading over and over and over. And then he would read them again.

“He read and re-read in early boyhood the Bible, Aesop, Robinson Crusoe, Pilgrim's Progress, Weems's Life of Washington and a history of the United States; and later read every book he could borrow from the neighbors, Robert Burns and

William Shakespeare becoming favorites. “ [http://www.nndb.com/people/332/000024260/]

If we read a few books over and over, they would certainly influence our thoughts, words and deeds. They would impress on us what they taught. We would absorb them into our deepest character.

That boy would meet more hardships than a field full of kernels on a thousand corncobs! One might think that boy would become a sheltered callus kid with his head spinning from seeing the same words over and over again from those worn out books. But he quickly learned how to husk corn and make silage out of the worst of circumstances. His reading taught how to do that. While he did that, he’d keep on reading. The same old books would lay a foundation under him that he would build a life on. His hardships would actually improve him.

Again, here is a short list of the books that made him into the endearing character he became…

• Aesop’s Fables

• Shakespeare’s Hamlet

• Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

• The Biography of George Washington with Curious Anecdotes

Our Saviour’s Voice

• Autobiography of Ben Franklin

• The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

• The Kings James Version of the Holy Bible

• The Declaration of Independence, 1776

All the items above are in the public domain. That is, there are many on-line free sources of these books. They will be very inexpensive in book form too. You can read what this young man read. Read these things over and over and they will shape your character too.

About the Bible, this grown boy said: “In regard to this Great book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.”

In his hardship, from boyhood throughout his manhood, this person would very much relate to this verse, “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.” - 2 Corinthians 4:16

The Holy Trinity desires us to be renewed day by day too! That is the specific meaning of the word, “Repentance”, an ongoing transformation of the mind. Like the man we are speaking of in our story today, God may use hardship, troubles and good reading to transform us too.

Suppose at the end of your life, someone told about what books you had by your chair, next to your bed or in your hand, what would they say? For many of us, the report might be, “Books? No, he always had his phone in his hand”, or, “I only saw him with a remote control for the TV next to him.”

Consider putting down the phone or turning off the television. Why not read a few good books over and over again? May I suggest, the Bible and the classic,

Pilgrim’s Progress? Consider reading them over and over again and your eyes will be walking where so many have gone before us. Who was that young boy who loved books of whom we speak? Abraham Lincoln.

Ben Franklin loved Pilgrim’s Progress too. About it he said, “Pleased with the Pilgrim's Progress, my first collection was of John Bunyan's works in separate little volumes.” Ben too, was an avid reader, making a few good books his repetitive teachers. In Ben Franklin’s autobiography, which was one of Lincoln’s favorite books, Franklin tells of a time when in a small boat, they pulled a man from the water. What do you suppose was in that soaking man’s pocket? Let’s let Ben tell us, “In crossing the bay, we met with a squall that tore our rotten sails to pieces, prevented our getting into the Kill [a stream, creek, or tributary] and drove us upon Long Island. In our way, a drunken Dutchman, who was a passenger too, fell overboard; when he was sinking, I reached through the water to his shock pate [head], and drew him up, so that we got him in again. His ducking sobered him a little, and he went to sleep, taking first out of his pocket a book, which he desir'd I would dry for him. It proved to be my old favorite author, Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, in Dutch, finely printed on good paper, with copper cuts, a dress better than I had ever seen it wear in its own language. I have since found that it has been translated into most of the languages of Europe, and suppose it has been more generally read than any other book, except perhaps the Bible. Honest John was the first that I know of who mix'd narration and dialogue; a method of writing very engaging to the reader, who in the most interesting parts finds himself, as it were, brought into the company and present at the discourse.”

There is too much to say here about good books being read and re-read. We will let you discover that for yourself. Once again, the finest is the Holy Bible, and many say a great companion is Pilgrim’s Progress.

THE FAMILY PROJECT – SIGN UP NOW!

Why do families work? Because God Himself designed them! Thriving

families will lead to thriving communities, and thriving communities will

transform the world. People will find purpose, joy and redemption; and

generation after generation will create a positive legacy.

The Family Project is a DVD experience for couples or small groups that

explores the theological, philosophical, and cultural underpinnings of the

traditional family, and combines that information with inspiring stories and

practical tools to help 21st-century families thrive.

The Family Project also offers a hope-filled, optimistic antidote to the current landscape of familial breakdown,

sending a clear message that a return to the time-tested, historical model of the family is where so many of our

culture’s wounds begin to heal. It’s designed to develop a new appreciation for why family matters…based on a

bigger understanding of who God is in His character and why He created humanity the way He did. Equipped

with this information, viewers will also be exposed to a wealth of hands-on tools and resources to help them

embrace those values within their own families and pass them along to future generations.

This course will take place at OSLC during the week of June 22-26 from 5:30-8:30pm, which coincides with

Vacation Bible School this year. A meal will be available in the gym each night to make it easier for your entire

family to participate in Vacation Bible School or The Family Project. Please contact the church office (468-4065

or [email protected]) to reserve your seat!

Where Are You Looking? by Deborah Young

54 When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But

Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right

hand of God.56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”57 At

this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, 58 dragged him out

of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man

named Saul.59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he fell on

his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep. Acts

7:54-60 (NIV)

***

"Where are you looking, Nia?" I asked. As a physical therapist assistant, I raised the same question many times when working with individuals on balance. "I keep forgetting," Nia responded while adjusting her posture and looking up to see her destination, the end of the long white hall. She resituated her single point cane and took a deep breath. "That's why I'm here, Nia. To help you. Remember your balance and walking will be much better if you look where you are going. You don't look down when you're driving do you?" Nia laughed. She moved one foot, then the other. "Just keep your eye on the goal and you'll do fine." While working with Nia, I thought about the stoning of Stephen. For years I'd skipped over this Bible passage or closed my eyes and my ears to it. The thought of stoning another human being didn't sit well with me, not even in God's word. But yesterday's Bible Study forced me to read those words and God opened my eyes. "Where are you looking?" Any time I had read that passage in Acts, I focused on what happened on the ground, on the Earth. For the first time, I heeded Stephen's words and concentrated on where he looked. I centered on heaven where I saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God; I imagined His open arms welcoming Stephen home. What glory awaits us when our Savior welcomes us home! So often I find myself distracted with the things of this world. Like Nia, I lose sight of my goal. Thankfully, God is right there beside me, helping me when I forget. He opens my eyes and my mind when I've lost my focus. He only needs to ask one question. Where are you looking?

*** The Bible study on Acts continues on Sunday mornings at 7:45 in the library/parlor. Please join us.

Christian Writing Group at Our Saviour Our Saviour recently started a group to support and encourage Christians who write (or want to write.) The group meets on the first Monday of the month at 7pm in the parlor of OSLC. The May meeting is on the 4th.

COMFORT DOLLS – A Story of Adventure

by Caroline Arndt

One day, at a church, there was a group of ladies sitting around a large table that was covered with many balls of bright colored yarn. The ladies were knitting and crocheting ‘comfort dolls’. After each doll was

completed, it was carefully placed into a cardboard box. In the evening, all of the boxes were carefully placed into the church’s storeroom and the ladies went home.

The room was dark and quiet. One little doll peeked out of the box, then another doll and then yet another

little doll peeked out of the box. Soon, they all tumbled to the floor. They were all talking and playing – oh, what great fun they were having.

One said, “I wonder where we are and why we were created.” Another asked, “Why did the ladies all have white faces but we all have brown faces?” There were as many questions as there were dolls. “When the ladies were creating us they were talking about how much the children would love us.” Another asked,

“What are children and where are they?” Another said, “There must be something special for us, but what is it?” One of the littlest dolls asked, “Why, when the ladies were creating us, did they say a prayer for

each of us before placing us in our boxes?”

It was beginning to get light out and each little doll jumped back in to their boxes. This went on night after

night. They all knew that they must have a purpose, but what was it? How long would they be in the storeroom? Every evening more and more dolls joined them.

One day the ladies came back and started unpacking the dolls and repacked them into large crates. They

looked at the dolls, commenting how cute they were and how much the children would love them and how happy they would be.

One day, all the crates were carried outside and placed into a large airplane. We were all so cold, the ground was covered with snow, and it was cold, cloudy and windy. We were all so scared.

All of a sudden we could feel ourselves traveling very fast, and we were even more frightened. Where are

we going? Are we going to meet the children? What will happen to us? There must be something special for us.

On the airplane, there were doctors and nurses. They were talking about sick children – that’s bad. Then they said they would give the children medicine so that they wouldn’t be sick anymore – that’s good.

One nurse, named Donna, said that there were more dolls than usual. Is this good or are there too many

of us? She said how much the children would love us. We are going to meet the children, but where are they and where are we going?

Finally the airplane stopped. One by one the boxes were carried off the airplane and placed into a large room. There was sand, beautiful blue water and warm sunshine. Donna said that we were in Haiti.

Wherever we looked there were long lines of little people, and they all had brown faces like we have.

Could these be the children? Donna gave each of the little people a doll.

I was on the very bottom of the last box. Would Donna find me – or would I be forgotten and tossed

away?

When Donna picked me up, her hands were strong and warm. She looked at me and said that I would

make this special child very happy. Donna handed me to a child whose hands were soft and warm. The child looked at me and smiled. Then she held me to her heart and kissed me.

BE A PART OF THE EAST MASON STREET BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE East Mason Street Beautification Committee (EMBC) is a group of neighborhood people

interested in beautifying the median on East Mason Street. This group of young people and

seniors plant and maintain the flower beds from the spring into the fall.

Ten flower beds are planted with perennials and annuals. The annuals are added in June.

The beds are checked and weeded approximately every two weeks.

EMBC contracts with a local greenhouse to keep the beds watered throughout the growing

season. The fund for watering and plans comes from donations of businesses and individuals. The

city does not contribute to this project.

EMBC has been together since 2002 and now additional people are needed. Beginners and

experienced individuals are welcome. If interested in volunteering, please contact Bob or Fay

Boerschinger at 469-5895.
