Dear God

By John T. McNeal   

Dear God,

Father, thank you for the abundant grace and mercy you show to me when I fall down. I have done a lot of falling down in my life. And at the same time, you have been there to reach down, pick me up and dust me off. I can tell that your love is sufficient. It is sufficient enough to heal the deepest wounds, cuts and scrapes that this world has to offer.  Thank you for being the Great Physician.

Yielding to One Another

By Christina Puntigam   

As I was cleaning my desk, in hopes of wasting all my time instead of writing, I ran across some wedding invitations from this past year.  It reminds me of my wedding, a simple affair in the scheme of things, no more than fifty people at the ceremony with finger food right afterwards so that we could mingle and talk.  There was no receiving line, no formal dance, just us visiting with friends.
