If I asked the question, “Where’s Waldo?” you might recall those popular children’s picture books from the 1980s. That little guy in the red-and-white-striped shirt and hat loved to hide in the pages amid a busy blur of images that made it nearly impossible to find him.
Thankfully, finding Jesus is a lot easier than finding Waldo. Jesus doesn’t play hide-and-seek. He says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock” (Rev. 3:20). You can find Him at the door of your heart—the core of your existence—waiting to come in. He doesn’t just want to meet you at church, or to be kept at bay on the outer edges of your life. Rather, He longs to be in the center of your dreams, deliberations, and desires. He wants a real relationship with the real you.
And as wonderful as that is, I need to warn you that it may be a little unsettling. Your heart is no doubt harboring a few things that He will want to deal with. But there is nothing that is more valuable than intimacy with Him. Welcome Jesus in and He will clear out the clutter until the air is fragrant and fresh with the purity, power, and pleasure of His presence.
Who’s knocking at your heart’s door? It’s Jesus! How wonderful is that! Sweetest of all of life’s blessings,

Pretty graphic! Good morning, you two.
Keen eyes fixed on a flying target.
A gleaming arrow set against a raw-hide string.
A strong bow bent almost to the breaking point.
And then.......
Straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaight Arrow!
To friends and neighbors alike, Steve Adams
appeared to be nothing more than the young
owner of the Broken Bow Ranch.
But, when evil-do'ers plotted against justice
and danger threatened innocent people,
Steve Adams rancher disappeared and in his
place stood the legendary figure of:
Straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaight Arrow!
(the sound of horse's hooves thundering out of the secret cave)
Kaw-nee-wah Fureeeeeeee!

N-A-B-I-S-C-O Nabisco is the name to know.
For a breakfast you can't beat,
try Nabisco Shredded Wheat.
These were the large biscuits of shredded wheat and in between the layers of biscuits there was a cardboard divider with "Injun" lore on it. On the back of the box was an order form for a signal arrowhead or a tom-tom or some other really "swell" item.
Terrific graphic and poetry. It set the mood, along with the windows through which we view past, present and future.
