Half Time
Tragedy struck. The Buford's only son drowned. With it came a test of
character at the deepest levels. Bob Buford shares a simple, helpful
Quaker prayer he prayed the night after Ross' death
and often since (p. 58), it is well worth reading.

of engaging those born after 1962, Leonard Sweet's
dividing line between "immigrants" and "natives." Sweet
says, "Immigrants are word-based. Natives are
image-driven (p. 55)." [Digital E-Book: Microsoft

"Years ago a chaplain in the French
army used the Twenty-third Psalm to encourage soldiers
before battle. He would urge them to repeat the opening
clause of the psalm, ticking it off, one finger at
a time. The little finger represented the word, the;
the ring finger represented the word, LORD; the middle
finger, is; the index finger, my; and the thumb,
shepherd. Then he asked every soldier to write the
word on the palm of his hand and to repeat the verse
whenever he needed strength.
The chaplain placed special emphasis on the message of
the index finger--my. He reminded the soldiers that God
is a personal shepherd with a personal mission--to get
them home safely.
Did the chaplain's words find their mark? In the life
of one man they did. After a battle one of the
younger soldiers was found dead, his right hand
clutching the index finger of the left. "The LORD
is my shepherd . . ." *
I pray that your final hours will find you clutching
the same hope."

"Many of the places we may be led into will appear to us
as dark, deep, dangerous, and somewhat disagreeable.
But it simply must be remembered that He is there with
us in it. He is very much at work in the situation.
It is His energy, effort and strength expended on my
behalf that even in this deep, dark place is bound to
produce a benefit for me." W. Phillip Keller, p. 55,
