Music:

Television:

The Holy Bible and the TV Guide They lie on the table side by sideThe Holy Bible and the TV guide.One is well worn and cherished with pride.Not the Bible, but the TV guide.One is used daily to help folks decide.No, not the Bible, but the TV guide.As the pages are turned, what shall they see.Oh, what does it matter, turn on the TV.Then confusion reigns, they can't all agreeOn what they should watch on the old TV.So they open the book in which they confide,No, not the Bible, but the TV guide.The Word of God is seldom read,Maybe a verse as they fall into bed.Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be;Not from reading the Bible, from watching TV.So then back to the table side by side,Lie the Holy Bible and the TV guide.No time for prayer, no time for the Word,The plan of Salvation is seldom heard.But forgiveness of sin, so full and free,Is found in the Bible, not on TV.Author unknown

Heroes:

My heroes have always been my dad, my brothers, and the person that got me throw a sad time of my life."One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,You promised me Lord,that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?The Lord replied, The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you."________________________________________Mary Stevenson, 1936
