From the Lighthouse Keeper 6.02
August 9th, 2006
Greetings, saints!
I am finding out more information about both the lighted cross and the name “Lighthouse on the Hill,” thanks to your responses. Nothing solid yet, but working on it. I will surely let you know when I find out!
I have several things to share with you today. At the moment I’m listening to a lovely rendition of “In the Garden”. It goes quite nicely with a quotation from John Wesley I was going to share with you today: On this date in 1765 John Wesley wrote in a letter: “You have but one Pattern; follow Him inwardly and outwardly. If other believers will go step for step with you, well; but if not, follow Him!”
As the song goes, He walks with me and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own. Jesus walks with us; let us therefore do our best to walk with him, inwardly and outwardly.
I would ask your prayers for several people, if you are willing. Pastor Fred, my first United Methodist pastor, is having surgery today. It’s the first time he’ll be on the other end of a hospital visit. He asked if people would remember him today by doing a “random act of kindness”, as well as keeping him in prayer.
I have several sisters-in-law who are facing different medical issues; K is having gall-bladder surgery today; and D and J are finding out that their cancers are not responding well to treatments.
I lift before you Catherine W, who I just found out is having some stitches removed today, after a fall last week. Also recovering from a fall is Dorothy K, whom I visited on Monday.
Thank you, friends, for your prayers. They bind our body together and unify our spirits.
Peace –
Pastor Kerry
