2005
At night across the mountains when
darkness falls,
And the winds sweep down out of the
hollows,
The
wild things with their shiny eyes come to the edge of the clearing.
At
such an hour, the house seems safe and warm.
An island of light and love in a sea of
darkness.
At such an hour the word home must have
come into being.
Dreamed up by some creature that never
knew a home.
In his yearning there must have come to
mind the vision
Of a mother’s face, a father’s deep
voice,
The
aroma of fresh baked bread,
Sunshine
in a window,
The muted sounds of rain on a roof ~
The sigh of death ~
The cry of a new born babe and voices
calling good night.
Home ~ an island,
a refuge, a haven of love.
~ Earl Hamner

"Home is where the longing ends, where the ache no longer exists,
where love and peace, and warmth are found in a smile or a word,
touch or a kiss."

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT…
Dearest World, I know how terribly you’re hurting right now, in
every way imaginable. It may appear that there is no hope of turning
it all around and experiencing the peace, morals and values of
innocence. But, in fact, the solution is a very easy one. The
answer, however, is not to be found in man, himself, in all his
genius and accomplishment, as man’s history has proven, but by
finally all recognizing, loving and honoring God, putting Him first
in our hearts and lives; by putting Him back on His rightful throne
of our hearts, as our Creator and King, of this earth and all else
that’s in existence. And the remedy of all our woes only comes at
the price of our love and devotion to Him. In all reality He has
never been deposed from His throne. It is only foolish man that
refuses to recognize his eternal existence and Divine Kingship.
God does not need us, but, nonetheless desires us with an infinite
love and longing. God made us for Himself, to share in His unbounded
joy and happiness for all eternity. Here and now is where we are to
make up our minds and decide whether or not to be with Him forever.
The choice is ours. He patiently invites us and wants to pour out
His love on all of us, but will never impose Himself on us or
interfere with our free will. He has manifested and revealed Himself
in the person of Jesus Christ. And, if you want to know just how
much He loves you and me, and to what great lengths He took to prove
His love, take a long hard look at a crucifix. Know this- that all
the sins of mankind put together do not equal one drop in the ocean
of God’s infinite love and mercy. My sins and your sins are no match
for God’s greatest attribute, His Infinite Mercy.
There is nothing that He wants more than for you and me to run and
jump into His loving arms and receive His infinite forgiveness,
healing, blessings, mercy and love. God is all goodness. Nothing
good exists outside of God. We are all born with an infinite God
sized hole within us. And absolutely nothing can or will ever fill
that hole except God. Haven’t we wandered in the desert long enough?
Isn’t it time we returned to our Father’s house?
If humans in all their glory can create space shuttles, computers,
automobiles, and artificial hearts, would it not, then, be the
pinnacle of arrogance to assume that we, as human beings, are merely
the result of chance; order arranged out of chaos. No one in their
right mind would suggest or believe in a notion that something as
intricately complicated as a computer, with all its myriad parts,
even given 10 million years, could ever be manifested or composed
without an objective designer or intelligence putting it all
together to function as we understand the word. We, as humans, are
vastly more complicated than anything that man has ever created. To
think that the former is impossible and yet say that no one created
man would be like saying that a tornado could blow through a junk
yard and assemble a Stealth bomber.
