The sun was sinking below the horizon when the sightseer approached the Grand Canyon’s North Rim. By the time she reached the overlook, night had fallen. Before her was one of the world’s most spectacular views, yet she couldn’t see it. When darkness closes in around us, we’re tempted to think we’re alone and nothing is left. But our senses can deceive us; for though we may see no trace of it, we just might be on the brink of something spectacular. Hang on to hope, “for we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7, NRSV). NewsletterNewsletter

God’s love and faithfulness are constant and trustworthy. Summer’s arrival feels positive to many people but may not be smooth for all. Families who rely on regular school meals for their children must stretch grocery dollars further. Heat poses risks for elderly people who lack air conditioning. Work can be difficult to find in the summer months, and uncertainty looms for recent graduates. Meanwhile, concerns such as wars, natural disasters and health problems don’t take a summer break. St. Teresa of Avila (1515–1582) prayed, “May you be blessed forever, Lord, for being constant and unchanging, amidst all the changes of the world.” Her prayer is as appropriate today as nearly 500 years ago. When all around us is unstable and unreliable, God’s love and faithfulness are constant and trustworthy.

When Ralph Waldo Emerson reflected on true success, he didn’t mention fame, fortune or social status. Ponder his thoughts — and your own definition of success: “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a redeemed social condition or a job well done; to know even one other life has breathed because you lived — this is to have succeeded.”          NewsletterNewsletter May 2012

A video from Operation Overboard: Vacation Bible School 2012 at Wedgwood Presbyterian. This was taken on the last day of VBS. The sound isn't great, but I thought it was pretty cute of the kids singing and doing the hand motions of the song.
