FROM. THE MINISTER'S STUDY
REV. MARVIN L. BARZ
BEREA.BY-THE-WATE R
LUTHERAN
It was just getting darn on the
streets of London, England,
and the lights in the lampposts
were just going on. k little girl
who had lost her way stood
crying on a street corner. >
She was sobbing her heart opt
when a . policeman found her.
Trying to help, he asked, "Do
you live near a big building of
any kind - a school, a firehouse,
a police station?"
"No," she replied, she didn't.
'Do you live near a park? A
playground?"
"No," not by a
playground either.
"Well," the policeman went
on, "do you live near a chur-
ch?"
Suddenly the tear -streaked
face lighted up.
"Yes, I live by the church
with the cross. Show me the
church with the cross, and I'll
know the way home." ,
The author of the booklet , in
which this little story was found
was unsure as to whether it
really happened or. not. In any
case, the story illustrates a
deep truth of human ex-
perience. There are times in
the lives of all of us when
darkness closes 4n, the way
grows dim, and we find our-
selves confused and lost. Old
familiar signs no longer 'see,m
to point the way.
When answers no longer
seem to answer,.,and solutions
no longer seem to solve, there is
a way 'in whin" we' can walk
with saf'ty and confidence.
"Show me the church with the
,cross and I'l,l know'. my way
home.
It is in the message of God's
redeeming love, seen on' the
cross where Jesus Christ died
that lost and confused humans
can find the way. Only ,there
where the Son of God gave His
life, a perfect and complete
sacrifice in our place, do the
park or
The way home
Him has received forgiveness
of sins," (Acts 10:42,43 NASB)
�r+
The Christ of the cross, and
the cross of the Christ were the
focus of life, and the way home
to God. And so they can be for
you and roe. When our eyes are
fixed on the cross, on Him who`
died there and rose again, then
we shall know the way, even
through darkness.
Like the little girl we will say
"Show me the church with the
cross, and Ill know my way
hone."
Too busy ? Too bad
The ancient Greeks believed
anyone who went about in. a
hurry was not quite civilized.
What barbarians they would
make of us as we scurry around
trying to keep up with the pace
of our modern age!
"I'm too•.busy', is -the alibi
we use to excuse ourselves.
Someone suggest to me that
"I'm too busy" is not an alibi
but a confession of weakness,
an attempt to cover up in-
capacity. •
Some people are even too'
busy to be friendly. Now, that is
too busy, period. Not much use
'of striving and training if the
end result, cuts us off from
friends and smiles.
Others seem to be too busy to
be courteous: What is so urgent -
that justifies 'one in being rude
to a custmer 9r brusque to ,a
salesperson • or cutting anyone
off who wants to•be•friendly?
Too busy to help someone? If
this is true, you're missing a
great deal. it was Henry
Drummond who said, "You will

your life that the moments that
stand out are the moments
when 'you have done things for
