KEEPING THE FAITH

The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stung with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart. Remember, the next time your little hut is burning to the ground - - it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

Just when you don't think you can't take anymore ... the Lord steps in. (I'm sure everyone has their own personal testimony)

May God bless you and keep you.

We're getting a little bit of rain here in SW Oklahoma this morning. There was a little bit of thunder so I had to unplug the computer and the phone line for a few minutes.

OU and OSU won their games yesterday. However one of the OU offensive rushers suffered a collar-bone injury and is most likely out for the rest of the season.
