When my son began his sophomore year of high school, he also began  his second year of cross-country running. Steve started the year fighting for a spot on the varsity team, which was not an easy task.


It meant running miles and miles and miles. It meant lifting weights. It meant getting extra rest and eating  right (well, some of the time). And it meant running his heart out at races.

Cards. Hundreds and hundreds of cards. Our mail carrier must have thought we were going for a world record. They came by the stack – day after day after day.

Instead, the summer of 2002 began with tragedy. When our teenage daughter Melissa was killed in an automobile accident on the last day of school, our summer of hope turned into a nightmare.

Since 1988, I’ve enjoyed writing several Our Daily Bread each month. I’ve felt blessed to dig into Scripture, observe life, and provide spiritual help in this publication.


But on June 6, 2002, I found myself unable to offer help. On the last day of her junior year of high school, our 17-year-old daughter Melissa was killed in a car accident.

Prayer meetings can get you down. No matter how much you look forward to gathering with friends to pray, the requests can be disheartening. A missionary is having health problems. A child has cancer. A couple from your Sunday school class is getting a divorce. The missionary appointee is having difficulty raising financial support. The more requests you hear, the more weary you grow.

Prayer meetings can get you down. No matter how much you look forward to gathering with friends to pray, the requests can be disheartening. A missionary is having health problems. A child has cancer. A couple from your Sunday school class is getting a divorce. The missionary appointee is having difficulty raising financial support. The more requests you hear, the more weary you grow.

"As a white candle in a holy place, so is the beauty of an aged face." This line form a poem by Joseph Campbell applies to people who have served the Lord all their lives and are still bearing fruit in old age.
