Last fall a young man who attended high school with my son asked if he could volunteer for our church. We run a Sunday evening program for children and youth that always needs help, so I was glad to welcome Sean to the team. As it happened he came a few times before Christmas and met Stephanie, our volunteer for 20+ years.
Stephanie graduated to heaven in January and I mentioned to Sean how grateful I am for his coming to help, and I am glad he met Stephanie so that when the children talk about her, he knows who they mean.
This past Sunday night we were especially short handed, with some workers out of town and one sick. Sean asked if his friend Sharise could help, and she was able to help my husband with the pre-schoolers. God provides!

a book I wrote
Friedrich Nietzsche said, “The essential thing ‘in heaven and earth’ is… that there should be long obedience in the same direction; there thereby results, and has always resulted in the long run, something which has made life worth living.” Eugene Peterson wrote a book entitled A Long Obedience in the Same Direction, and as someone who has served in the same city since 1982, I claim that as my something that makes life worth living.
