Gordon Cranch f or everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: A time to be bom, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; —A_time to keep, and a time to throw away;------------------------------- A time to tear, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace. This famous passage from Ecclesiastes is a favourite for funerals, so I have spoken on it many times. Recently, I came across a reflection that I thought you might find helpful if you look back and reflect on the year gone by. 2013: What a year. I wonder... Who was born and who died this year? What good did I plant and what benefits did I reap? Who did I kill and did I restore anyone to health? VV hat evil did 1 tear down and what good did I build in its place? What brought tears to my eyes and what made me laugh? For whom did I mourn and what made me dance for joy? What stones did I toss away and were the stones I gathered any better? Who did I embrace and who did I shun? What was so valuable that I sought it and what great thing did I lose? What valuable lesson did I keep in my heart and did I discard? What fence did I break through and did 1 ever mend a fence? Was I ever silent and were the words I spoke ever appropriate? Whom did I love and whom did I hate? With whom did I wage war and from who did I seek to make peace? Each year we are given yet another chance to live life as Christ would have us live. Many years we repeat the errors of previous years, but each year we at least get the opportunity to improve the way we live. May 2014 be for you the year that sets your feet on the right path & God's blessing on your journey. See you in Church!

Angels don't wear halos anymore forget why, but scientists are working on it —Olive, age 9 Its not easy to become an angel! First, you die, Then you go to Heaven, and then there's still the flight training to go through. And then you got to agree to wear those angel clothes. --Matthew, age 9 Angels work for God and watch over kids when God has to go do something else. —Mitchell, age 7 My guardian angel helps me with math, but he's not much good for science. -Henry, age 8 Angels don't eat, but they do drink milk from Holy Cows. —Jack, age 6 Angels talk all the way while they're flying you up to heaven. The main subject is where you went wrong before you got dead —Daniel, age 9 When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and counts to en. And when he lets out his breath again, somewhere there's a tornado. —Reagan, age 10 Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his son, who's a very good carpenter. -Jared, age 8 All angels are girls because they gotta wear dresses and boys didn't go for it. -Antonio, age 9 My angel is my grandma who died last year. She got a big head start on helping me while she was still down here on earth. —Ashley ~ age 9 Some of the angels are in charge of helping heal sick animals and pets. And if they don't make the animals get better, they help the child get over it. —Vicki, age 8 What I don't get about angels is why, when someone is in love, hey shoot arrows at them. —Sarah, age 7 Real-Life Stories The Worst Part... My two daughters were discussing the less than desira­ble physical attributes they had inherited from their fa­ther. The older one: "I hate my freckles from Dad." Her unsympathetic younger sister: "At least you got his freckles. I got his eyebrow." Feared Meetings I was on my way out of the house to meet with a cantan- kerous client, andlwas, dreading it. The look on my face must have given me away because my four-year-old daughter asked what was wrong. "I’m going to meet a woman who always yells at Daddy," told her. "Oh," she said. "Say hi to Mom." Grandmother Approved... Even with a thousand games, dolls and crafts to choose rom, my customer at the toy store still couldn’t find a hing for her grandson. "Maybe a video or something educational?" I asked. "No, that’s not it," she said. We wandered the aisles until something caught her eye: a laser gun with flashing lights and 15 different high- pitched sounds. "This is perfect," she said, beaming. "My daughter-in-law will hate it." ■riority List... As she slid behind the wheel for her first driving lesson, my daughter couldn’t contain her excitement. "You need o make adjustments so the car is comfortable for you, ie driver," I began. "Now, what’s the first thing you should do?" "Change the radio station," she said.Limited Tickets at F.C.S.S.
