Home Stretch

Why does a fireman not wear red suspenders?
The answer seems quite clear.
He’s had some help in setting out,
His clothes and other gear!

Those galluses have stretched the point,
And good will has been squandered.
The Chief will not believe somehow,
That they have up and wandered!

Let’s get the pups back in their pen,
And do it on the double.
The Chief left me in charge of them,
I think I’ve spotted trouble!

Graphic and sentiment from St.Louie1

Life without friendship is like the sky without sun.
--Anonymous--

True friendship starts the moment one person says to another, 'What? You too?
I thought I was the only one!
--Unknown--

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship;
it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson--

Ordinary People

Read: Deuteronomy 4:5-14

Take heed to yourself, . . . lest you forget the things your eyes have seen . . . . And teach them to your children. —Deuteronomy 4:9

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 45-46; 1 Thessalonians 3

David Isay, a radio producer, says that in a culture inundated with the stories of celebrities, we need to hear the recorded voices of ordinary people, because their lives and contributions are no less important. Isay is a driving force behind StoryCorps, "a national project to instruct and inspire people to record each other's stories in sound."

It's a great concept, especially for Christians. Think what it would mean for your great-great-grandchildren to hear and see you telling the story of your life—describing the people and events that shaped you and sharing what Christ means to you.

Just before God's people entered the Promised Land, Moses told them: "Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren" (Deuteronomy 4:9).

That same responsibility of face-to-face communication is still ours. Yet we have the unusual opportunity of leaving a message for future generations. Begin recording your own uniquely important story. Or help a friend or relative record theirs. There is great value in the stories of ordinary people who know and love the Lord. —David McCasland

Life's truest heroes never carve their name
On marble columns built for their acclaim;
They build instead a legacy that springs
From faithful service to the King of kings. —Gustafson

A life lived for God leaves a lasting legacy.

I lived with one of my brothers for a while when I was young. His dog had pups while I was there. He had a clothes line which I also used. You guessed it, the pups pulled down one of my female version of suspenders and played tug of war. My brother who did not have to replace it, thought it was funny. (Dumb boys!)
