Moving Forward

We can never turn the clock back. I wish we could. We just said goodbye to Eleanor as she goes off to University. I’d gladly do it all again from 0-18, but we only can go into the future.
Ike Reighard says almost daily that “Our memories must never be bigger than our dreams.” Or we’ll try to live for the past. Wish it was the past and miss our future. Church folk like us need to keep that in mind often. Today is the here and now. New Hope, as summer ends and we move into the fall, let’s dream, pray, work and serve for a better tomorrow.
We are calling on the whole church to assemble on Sunday 9/11. The 10 year anniversary. On the Lord’s Day, the Resurrection Day, which is all about the future, you have to live in the present and plan to be present!
In Him,
He Will Not Drive You Away

London

I love London.
I went to college there,
Met Louise
Saw U2…twice,
Got engaged.
Been there every year the last 30.
It is a great city. My favorite. The home of democracy for a thousand years. Orders were given from London to defeat the Armada, Napoleon, Hitler.
It has been the home of Kings and Queens, Cromwell, Shakespeare, Raleigh, Wilberforce, Spurgeon, Churchill, Thatcher, Blair, The Beatles. Famously it survived the Blitz.
There have been recessions and riots before. But when Londoners way of life is been threatened, when small businesses, centers of community, are destroyed, any legitimacy of protest is gone. If you “protest too much”, you lose the argument. The enemy has ceased to be whatever issue was once at stake. All Londoners can unite against that which destroys. There was little that could be done about the Black Death or the Great Fire. But something can and must be done about this “5th Column” that has attacked a great City.
May London recapture the spirit of 1940.
In Him
