Not Broken!

Hurricanes have stumbled upon us, earthquakes have shaken our very souls, and fires have burned our hopes. In a time of brokenness and pain, we frantically search for something to hold on to, something to grasp. We are all hanging by threads that become more and more fragile the more we cling to them. Above the uproar of waves of frantic people, and under the terrible skies of darkness and devastation, we still cling to faith, we hope against hope, we triumphantly get up when we fear we have no strength left. We rebuild our walls even if they have been torn down hundreds of times. We persevere even when we can't see our goal. This is the true spirit of faith, hope, and the undying flame of unquenchable joy.

Although many of us have suffered many burdensome losses, we know it is not the end. With renewed vigor we will press on, and with help form the One above, we will keep running the good race! We may be shaken, but we are not broken.


Keep up the faith!

As Frederick approached the corner of Muldeick Street he was stopped by the sound of approaching steps. With precise swiftness he hid behind a mailbox. A shadow stopped inches away from him. “Fred?” A shaky voice asked. Frederick slowly showed himself and gave a sigh of relief. “Thank Heaven it’s you Smith.” He said. “Who were you expecting?” The lad asked looking around suspiciously. “I best not tell you. Now quick, on with the message.” Frederick said turning around making sure nobody was around. He turned to Smith and nodded. Slowly the young man pulled a sheet of paper that glowed in the moonlight. Burgough snatched it and read it with a grunt. Taking a match out of his pocket he burnt it and let the ashes fly in the night breeze. “That bad?” Smith asked. “As I said...

Müller’s Mystery

Müller’s Mystery Part III The wind was howling through the trees as Jack and Lindsey walked through the dark forest. “Do you even know where you’re going?” Lindsey asked. “Of course I do. Remember the Old Lady who lives in the small hut at the end of our property? Well, she is the oldest person around here, I bet we can get out information out of her.” “But how do you even know her?” Lindsey asked. “Well, when our parents died there was a lot of time to explore around here. You were just a baby. I guess I was lonely. Anyway, I once found her hut and she became my friend. I call her Aunt Sally.” “How come you never visit her any more?” “Well, one day Uncle Theodore caught me walking towards her house, and he forbid me to go there again.” “Sneaky.” Lindsey whispered. “Yeah, that’s why I think Aunt Sally might now something about this will business.” After a long and silent trek through the thick shrubbery and noisy leaves, Jack and Lindsey final...
