<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">From The Letters by P Michael Biggs
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Dear Child:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"><br />
I am all about simple things, and I want simple from you.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"> Simple prayers. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"> Simple conversations. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"> Simple thoughts.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">You don’t have to use big sounding words or holy sounding phrases. Just
be you.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I’m not impressed with fluff. I don’t like a lot of high-minded blabber or
lofty sounding words.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Just be yourself. Be true to the nature I have put within you already.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Even if you can’t utter the words, I still understand. I know your thoughts.
I know everything about you. I love you, just as you are.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Your words are important, but your attitude is what I consider most.
Just be you. Come to me just as you are.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Simple is beautiful. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">God,

<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">And what about prayer?<br /><br />
</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">What is prayer all about and how do you do it properly?
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you’ve ever tried to pray, perhaps you have your stories of struggle, of
staying awake until the “amen” and of making a coherent string of thoughts
in prayer so that God is pleased with you, and you get a gold star for the day
because of your prayer.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hmmm.
Consider this:
</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-style: italic;"><b>“Just patch a few words together </b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-style: italic;"><b>and don’t try to make them elaborate. </b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-style: italic;"><b>This isn’t a contest but a doorway </b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-style: italic;"><b>into thanks, and a silence in
which </b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-style: italic;"><b>another voice may speak.” </b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Mary Oliver – Poet
</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mary was not a theologian nor a biblical scholar. She was in touch with life
in her own way as a poet and writer.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, I think she was onto something with this quote.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Praying is not a contest to see who can pray the most eloquent thoughts, or
the most beautiful phrases or string together the perfect synonyms for
creative thoughts on God.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Praying is based on sincerity, humility, and intent of the heart.<br />
I love Mary’s analogy of prayer as a “doorway into thanks”. Simple thanks.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ann Lamont wrote once that “‘Help’ just might be one of the most profound
prayers ever uttered.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">When the burdens are heaviest, when the way is darkest, when the mind is
cluttered with too much information or not enough of a sense of God, then
perhaps “help” is the most appropriate prayer we can pray.
</span></span></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ve used that one a few times in my life.<br /></span></span></p><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps you have too.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have some mulling to do on Mary’s last thought.
</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size: large;">“And a silence in which
another voice may speak.”
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Silence. Isn’t that one of the eight deadly sins of the church? We can’t sit still
and silent for too long for fear that half of the congregation will fall asleep.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ah, what if we use that silence as a true tuning in time? What if God
wanted to say something to us and was waiting for us to simmer down,
hush up, and quite yakking long enough to whisper an important thought
into our minds?
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, wouldn’t that be something.<br />
That’s the kind of praying to which I can relate.
It goes like this.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Come in, with no agenda, no prepared speech (prayer) and no worries
about what I am going to say and no fear that I’ll say the wrong thing or
leave out someone or something for which I should pray. Whew.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">And then, in the stillness, the quiet quieter than quiet, what if God
whispered to you and me? What if He started with something simple like,
“Hey you. I love you.”
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">That would really be something.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">A real, honest-to-goodness God-moment.
</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p>

what we might call “A Heavy Heart”. Heavy hearts ain’t no fun, as we used
to say in the hills of Tennessee.</span></p><div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column">
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I’ve often not known what to do in the middle of my heavy heart moments.
Have you? Perhaps you’re going through one of those times even now, in
this moment of reading this.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Heavy Heart times are caused by those circumstances in life that just about
crush us to death. The load is so heavy, the burden is so awesomely great,
and the issue looms very large. We find ourselves scratching our head,
wringing our hands, and wondering if God is anywhere nearby and does He
hear and see you and me, and even care about what in the world is
happening right now, this very minute.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">And then some well-meaning spiritual super-power comes along and says,
“well, Honey, you just need to pray more.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Pray? I can’t even tie my shoes for the weight of this “thing” I’m carrying.
“Pray” you say. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">Here’s the thing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">When the heart is so heavy, and the weight of the world seems to be resting
on your shoulders in the awful times of life, maybe, perhaps, all you and I
can utter is HELP! Now I used all caps and an explanation mark, but
sometimes it comes out “help”. Or perhaps
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt; font-weight: 700;">H. E. L. P. !
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">And do you know what? God hears that kind of prayer too. Oh my. Yes
indeed.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I’ve prayed that prayer before. Once someone near to me relapsed on a
drug addiction that I thought was well behind her. I was so unprepared for </span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">that experience. I didn’t know what to do nor where to turn. All I could
utter was “help”. (Lower case intended)</span></p></div></div></div><div class="page" title="Page 2"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column">
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Maybe today is the day you pray the most acceptable prayer ever uttered.
It’s nothing fancy. It’s not long. It’s not profound. It’s not eloquent. It’s a
great cry for the God of the universe to come down and touch you in some
unique way that only you need in that moment. It is a miracle prayer of one
word, and this one-word-prayer gets attention.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Is your life a train wreck?<br />
Have you made some really horrible decisions?<br />
Is your past about to catch up with you?<br />
Are you in a despicable and deplorably situation and you don’t know which
way to turn?
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">This I know. A prayer like “Help” spoken in great moments of desperation
and with a sincere heart gets attention from God himself.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"><br />
He already knows what you did, or said, and what you are doing or have
done. He wants so much for you to turn around and come to Him. He’s
listening for your call.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I believe that with my whole heart.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"><br />
Ann Lamott said this in here book, </span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Help Thanks Wow</span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">:
</span></p>
<p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic;">“Prayer means that, in some unique way,</span></div><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt; font-style: italic;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">we believe we’re invited into a relationship</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">with someone who hears us when we speak in silence.”</span></div></span><p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">So, step right up. You don’t have to get dressed up, put on your shoes, wear
a necktie or a string of pearls, or even smell pretty. Just approach and say
the words as you turn toward God: HELP! Help. help.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I don’t know in what form God will answer, but in time He will answer. It
may be through another person, or it may be an idea that pops into your
own mind, but God hears.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">God hears.

<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">In October 2017, I had my first-ever angiogram so my cardiologist could
look at my heart to discover the blockage and damage that had occurred. I
was afraid. My blood pressure was high as I lay on that surgery-room table.
And God was with me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">In December 2017 I had open heart surgery resulting in three heart
bypasses. God was with me through it all. As I lay in the surgery prep area the attending nursing staff had to shave the
front part of my upper body. I was afraid. I was tearful, and God was with
me.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I’ve gone through bankruptcy and wondered if I’d ever repair my credit
rating again. God was with me through all of that.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">I’ve had love go sideways, and God has been with me.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">When the creditors called and wanted to repossess my new Ford Taurus,
God was there.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">In job changes, in job losses, in the pursuit of career paths, God was there.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">In the hard decisions – about careers, homes, cities to live in, whether to
move or not, and a dozen other decisions that are tough to make; in every
situation, God has been the steady hand, the guiding still-small-voice
always looking on and always prompting, always impressing me as to which
path to take.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">There are some giants that I have admired during my years of living – men
and women I have and still do look up to. Billy Graham was one. Here’s
what I read one day a few years ago.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">God spoke and said, “I don’t need Billy Graham more than I need you.”
</span></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">What? But I’m not a famous person. I’m a nobody in the grand scheme of
things. And yet, God said He needed me just as much as Mr. Graham. How
can it be?
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I’ve read of numerous accounts in the scriptures of how God has used
‘nobodies’ and made them useful.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Mary was a peasant girl, perhaps fourteen, and God used her to birth the
Christ-child.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"><br />
He used a prostitute or two as examples – one of which was the woman
about to be stoned. His words were simple – “Neither do I condemn you.
Go and sin no more.” (John 8:11)
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">He used David, a striking, good-looking lad who later committed adultry and
then had the woman’s husband killed in battle. That’s a long fall from
grace, and David came back and was claimed as, my words, “The apple of
God’s eye.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Peter denied Christ three times and look at the impact he had on
Christianity and the spread of the gospel.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Do you see the places where God has been with people down through
history? He goes to the depths of the mud and back to bring redemption
and grace, forgiveness, and healing. And He gives peace and His presence
in the middle of the mundane moments of our lives.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I know what it is like when the presence of God invades an operating room
with His peace and settling presence.<br />
I’ve experienced His calm assurance in the middle of trauma, in family
crises, in the death of family members, and when in financial need. God
has met me in these places, and I am a living witness to His grace, mercy,
and peace.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I am nothing special. I’m not famous. I’m not rich or influential, and I
don’t own the largest house in the city, and yet, God has been with me in
the good and the bad times of life.
</span></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 3">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">And this same grace is available to you, regardless of your name, rank,
serial number, bank account balance, skin color, language you speak, or
status in society.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">You are loved and graced with the presence of God, who watches over you.
He never sleeps. He never takes His eyes off you. He never takes a

<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">One of the strong Bible verses that has stood the test of time in my life is
Joshua 1:9.
</span></p>
<p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700;">“Be not afraid nor dismayed, for I the Lord your God</span></div><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">will be with you wherever you go!”</span></div></span><p></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">That is indeed an encouraging word for today.

<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">What a strong question that one is. Does God get mad at us? Does He
write us off after some slight mistake, sin, forgetfulness moment, or if our
check book gets out of balance?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">Let me tell you about a conversation I had.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">Cindy and I were talking one day at work, and she was complimenting me
on some of my blogs that she had read recently. I casually asked her what
she thought of God, and here is what she said.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">“Oh, He’s kind, and loving, and forgiving, and my best friend.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">I stopped her at that point and said, “That’s all well and good, but what do
you really think about God?’
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">She paused a moment and then said, “I think God is mad at me.”<br />
Oh, my. What a statement. I asked questions and she filled in the blanks.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">“One day, I was cooking spaghetti and had a large skillet of spaghetti sauce
simmering on the stove. My ten-year-old daughter, Jenny, came into the
kitchen and grabbed the handle of the skillet and poured the spaghetti all
over her body. She screamed in pain and blisters began popping out all
over her body. God must hate me for that to have happened to Jenny.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">I sent up one of those quick prayers for immediate help and wisdom and
then answered.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">“Oh, Cindy. No, no, no. God is not mad at you. Jenny was an innocent girl,
whose curiosity got in the way, and she just happened to pull the handle of
the pot down upon her body. God didn’t make her do that, and God is
certainly not mad at you. Oh, please believe me. I could never in my
wildest imagination picture a God who would do something like that.”
</span></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">We can assign to God some strange and interesting acts, but is God really at
fault?
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">The simple answer ... we humans have a will, and we get to make choices.
That is our greatest power, and one that God will never take from us nor
override in our lives. We Chose!
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">The great news is this: God is not mad at us.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">God is not an ogre. He is not looking for us to step out of line just even a
little bit so He can zap us. And He’s not looking for the smallest of reasons
to put us in time out.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">The most famous Bible verse of all time is John 3:16.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700;">“For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son,
And whoever believes in Him shall be saved.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">God loves the world. That means any evil person you might name, your
contrary neighbor who puts his garbage can in the middle of your driveway,
that customer that is always snarly and never smiles, and your curious
daughter who just might happen to pull a pot of hot spaghetti sauce onto
her head. God loves us! A reminder ... God never promises to keep bad
things from happening to us, but He does promise to be with us in the
middle of the bad things.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">Remember what I wrote 2 paragraphs above? God is not an ogre. I want to
borrow this thought from Ann Lamont and her great little book </span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic;">Help ...
Thanks ... Wow</span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">“Prayer is talking to something or anything with which we seek union, even
if we are bitter or insane or broken. (In fact, these are probably the best
possible conditions under which to pray.) Prayer is taking a chance that
against all odds and past history, we are loved and chosen, and do not have
to get it together before we show up. The opposite may be true. We may
not be able to get it together until after we show up in such miserable
shape.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">You see, in my 73 years of living, I have rarely had it all together. I’ve had
moments of brilliant spiritual living, and I’ve had the dogdays and months
and perhaps years of missing the mark, falling short, stepping out of line,
</span></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 3">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">and wanting my own way. And all through the good and the bad, God never
stopped loving me. He never, to my knowledge, got mad at me, and he
never caused a bad thing to happen to bring me back into line.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">I’ve caused bad things to happen because of my choices. I’ve acted
foolishly, said the wrong thing at the wrong time, and treated others with
less than grace and love, but never has God gotten mad at me.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">I’ve disappointed God. Oh my, don’t let me count the ways.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">And His love keeps on flowing down to me. His grace and mercy are ever
present and abundant in my life.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">Are you wanting to blame somebody for the bad that happens in your life?
Don’t blame God. Blame Joe, my neighbor. He’s not doing anything
worthwhile. He cusses, he goes to places he shouldn’t, and he drives like a
mad man. Blame Joe. He’s not doing anything.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">Look at this amazing verse:
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: 700;">“See what great love the Father has lavished on us; that we
should<br />
be called children of God! And that is what we are!<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">I John 3:1
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14pt;">Again, the question: Is God mad at me?
Not in a million years.<br />
But He does love you with furious love!

</span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">not the $3000 I originally quoted.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">We are happy to offer you this position at a starting salary of $123,000 per
year. How about that?
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">You’re pregnant. Congratulations.
You’re not pregnant. Congratulations.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Good news comes in all kinds of word wrappings, doesn’t it? And my, </span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">how
we love to receive good news.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">In the Christmas story, the Angels proclaimed this “good news” to the
</span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">shepherds on the hillside. Hope had come. The birth of a Savior was,
indeed, good news.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Mary received some good news when the Angel came to her and told her
</span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">about her coming pregnancy. This bit of good news said, “For with God,
nothing is impossible.”
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Joseph received some good news in Matthew’s gospel. The angel appeared
</span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">to him and said,
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Good news abounds in the Christmas story. Hope is there, as is peace, and
joy, a</span><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">nd of course LOVE! Oh, don’t forget about love.

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Little Is Much
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Large acts are good, or can be. Some people are destined to great acts,
great feats of physical strength or mental agility and can do the seemingly
impossible.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But what about those small acts? The acts that go unnoticed except by a
few, perhaps even only by one or two. Do those acts matter also?
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Take heart, for I believe they do matter. And not all of these ‘acts’ are of the
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">spiritual nature.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Twenty-two years ago, I was an insurance salesman. My friend John
reminded me of selling him a policy for his new-born daughter. It was a
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">small life policy and was what we called in those days a “twenty</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">-</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">pay” policy,
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">meaning John would pay for the policy for twenty years and then it would
be paid in full, yet the benefits would last for the life of his daughter. In the
grand scheme of things, that policy was one of the smaller ones I sold that
year and yet, twenty-two years later he remembered, and wrote to thank me
for giving his daughter this gift he passed on to her for her future portfolio.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">A small, $10,000 life insurance policy was remembered. It was one small
act. It was enough at that moment in time.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">In the late 70’s and early 80’s I served as a music minister in a church in
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Seattle. On a particular Sunday night, I asked a small girl named Sadie to
sing a solo. Years later, her father thanked me profusely for that one
moment in time, for you see, Sadie died as a young teen and Loren still held
that memory of her performance. It was a small thing for me to schedule
her to sing on that particular night. It was a huge memory for Loren thirty-
five years later.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Little is much.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Do you feel as if you have a small contribution to offer? Take heart, give it
to God and allow Him to add to your gift in whatever measure He desires.
</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I’ve directed large choirs and orchestras. I’ve sang some great solos and
duets. I’ve written nearly one</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">-thousand blogs and produced 80 podcasts.
Some are my personal favorites and, I feel, have lasting significance.
However, no one remembers the greatness of those moments and creative
sparks.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But they remember how some of those moments made them feel at that
moment in time.

</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Tuesday, March 16, 2021
Internet Church
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">In what situation do you find yourself today? No matter where you are,
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">God’s arms can reach you and lift you up.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">This is ONE strong and encouraging thought.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">~Are you soaking in an alcoholic stupor? God can reach you.<br />
~</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Are you so in debt you can’t f</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">ind a way out? Call out to God.<br />
~Are you in relationship conflict with someone? Let God help you with a
remedy.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Regardless of the human predicament in which we find ourselves, God is
still able to reach out to us and bring deliverance and help in our time of
need.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I was reminded of this verse last week when a close friend of ours came for
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">a visit. Leanne had been studying this particular verse in her women’s
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Bible Study group.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 700;">And the Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 700;">Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-weight: 700;">you.” </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Numbers 11:23
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">This concept of God is a strong part of my own personal God-concept.
However, remember this important part of the equation. We have to call
out to God for help and we have our own part to play in this work of
deliverance.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">That is, perhaps, the part we sometimes want to skip over, and yet it is true.
Are you and I willing to do our part along with God reaching down to do
His part?
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">At present, I am recovering from having my toes amputated on my left foot.
At the seven-week mark I am doing well, and it is because God is reaching
out to me AND I am doing the smart thing of eating better, bringing my
</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">medical numbers down into proper range, losing weight and moving about
as my scars and body allows. No one can do that for me except me.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I’ve recovered from divorce. Of course I felt God’s presence with me </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">in
those dark moments, however, I had to do my part and do the acts of
recover from those painful experiences. I had to read books, talk with
trusted advisors, and set my mind on a future with hope in the middle of
the pit in which I found myself. And Go</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">d’s arms were continually reaching
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">down to me and pulling me along.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I hope you are finding God’s arms to be long enough for whatever
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">predicament you face in these days.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">He truly does have strong and long arms!

<p><br /></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Sometimes we think God is sick. I read differing news feeds and social
media posts and I sense fear and angst, despair and a great lack of hope. It
is as if we have come to believe in the fallibility of God.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I suppose I hear voices that cry out ...
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">God, are you sick?<br />
Are you on your death bed?<br />
Can you still work in this day and time?
Do you care about us?
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Are you still in the miracle business?
Are you with us, still?
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">My word for all of us today ...<br />
Don’t despair.<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Have faith.<br />
He (God) neither slumbers nor sleeps.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">He may not answer our prayers, our calls and our cries of desperation the
very minute we cry out, but take heart, He hears and sees every need, every
situation and every crisis that rears its ugly head all over this planet.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">God, in His time, will act in ways that are in keeping with his nature and
His timing. Remember, He is master of the MASTER CLOCK.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The greatest Bible verse I could ever offer is this:
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700;">“Be not afraid nor dismayed,
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700;">for I the Lord your God
will be with you
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700;">wherever you go.”
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Remember, this is a promise, not for deliverance from, but sustainability
through all circumstances.
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Let your faith find its footing in this promise.

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">My Dear Child:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">
I have ten words of encouragement for you today.<br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">~I will never leave you nor forsake you.

<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">~I can do all things through Him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">~I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not
be shaken. Psalm 16:8
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">~The Lord is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The Lord is the
stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1

<p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">~If God is for us, who can be against us. Romans 8:31
</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">~I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. Take heart. I have overcome the world. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">~God is faithful. He will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I Corinthians 10:12</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Georgia'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">~Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God's sight. Know his - even the hairs of your heard are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Dear Child:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">I can read your thoughts. You fear that you’ve changed and that I may be mad at you. Let me tell you about some others who have changed down through the ages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">David was one of my choice ones. He was striking actually. I destined him for a royal position.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">He served me well for a time. But then lust got in his way. He looked at a beautiful woman and turned his heart from me. He even had her husband killed so he could have her all to himself. But he came back around. He changed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Seems he was in a constant state of changing; song writer, king, failure, murderer, and then back to my arms of love and forgiveness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Here’s another one for you: Peter. He was strong; a man’s man some might say. Peter would fight at the drop of a hat. He would proudly boast of what he intended to do and usually follow through. On most days, he was proud to know me, but one day he turned on me. He denied that he even knew me. He said, <i>“I never knew this man.”</i> He betrayed me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14pt;">And he changed. He came back and became one of my strongest promoters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I know the thoughts you think. You constantly compare yourself to others and I hear your chatter.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The world has a different agenda from my agenda. I see you through eyes of pure love. I made you. I created every gene, DNA speck and every molecule in your body. I made you perfectly. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When you see others, you only see the surface. You can’t see what I see. They have aches, pains, and disappointments.

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As I think about God, I picture him exactly like this sign that was posted on St. Clements Church, Leigh-on-the-sea, in Essex, England. It captures the heart and the grace of God for all mankind.<br /><br /><i>“We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, widowed, gay, confused, filthy rich, comfortable, or dirt poor.<br /><br />We extend a special welcome to those who are crying new-borns, skinny as a rake or could afford to lose a few pounds.<br /><br />You’re welcome if you are Old Leigh, New Leigh, Not Leigh, or just passing by.<br /><br />We welcome you if you can sing like Pavarotti or can’t carry a note in a bucket.<br /><br />You’re welcome here if you’re ‘just browsing,’ just woke up or just got out of prison. We don’t care if you’re more Christian than the Archbishop of Canterbury, or haven’t been in church since little Jack’s christening.<br /><br />We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome keep-fit mums, football dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters.<br /><br />We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems or you’re down in the dumps or if you don’t like ‘organized religion.’ We’ve been there too!<br /><br />If you blew all your money on the horses, you’re welcome here. We offer a welcome to those who think the earth is flat, ‘work too hard,’ don’t work, can’t spell, or because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.<br /><br />We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid or got lost on the London Road and wound up here by mistake. We welcome tourists, seekers and doubters, bleeding hearts… and you!”<br /></i><br />Did you read this as if from God? Go back and picture God saying these things to you. It might just blow your mind.</span><br /> <br /><br /><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
