Most of the time we don't think much about it. Only when someone is born or someone dies do we ponder the reality of Life's Cycle. As Annie nurtures the newest member of our family we wonder what little Lily will face during her visit on this earth. Last June her
great-grandfather Lacey ended his visit here to receive his reward, and as I write and you read, Lily Ann's
great-great-grandmother Beaverson is fading into the shadows of this world getting ready for the next. Meanwhile runners continue to run until their legs give out, roofers continue to roof until they have completed the last one, preachers continue to preach until their voices fade, and postmen continue to deliver the mail until the last letter is mailed. Our time here on this earth is important, but not for the things we spend most of our time chasing after. The primary purpose for our days here is to prepare for the Next. As we search for this purpose during our Cycle, we may find that the Secret is in the Search. Meanwhile, we continue to run, roof, preach, and deliver mail, giving each task our very best effort
Nothing but the best for Amber and Taylor,
Freshmen runners on the Moberly, Missouri cross country team. Moberly took first place at the Hannibal Cross Country Invitational on October 13. Taylor (front row, right) took
first place and Amber (back row, left) came in
eighth. Since they are twins, they could switch numbers after the race and few would know the difference. They are following in the footsteps of their older sister, Katie, who runs for
William Woods University. She recently took the
American Midwest Conference individual championship title. She was also named MVP. It's in the genes, you know. Todd and Dawn are proud of their kids, and they should be! (I guess maybe I am a little proud also). Great work, girls. --Your gramps.
