I have just returned from a week at Youth Camp in the Sierra Mountains. Our youth group bunked in an old chapel with a stained glass window... Christ's Image As lantern glares Off mystic swirls From icy chill Of nightfall's scorned... At moonlight hour With solemn prayer As night-bird sings Of early morn... From mountain road Down forest path To secluded glade Of chapel worn... Up barren aisle Past dusty pew Toward sacred shrine Of days forlorn... While shadow falls In subtle light As a new day Of life's reborn... A spectra shines On hallowed ground From stained-glass pane Of Christ adorned. -Robert E.

You are aptly named, Sir, and the children that are mentored by you are the true benefactors. God bless. Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |
