What to take out of fire
During March, I was privileged to spend five days
touring, and meeting personnel of a five mission pro-
aram of my denomination known as the Red Bird
Missionary Conference. Located in the Appalachian
coal mining region of Southeast Kentucky, it has
helped the people of the for over SO years
meeting personal, medical educational, social and spir-
itual needs. One of its programs, the Red Bird School,
has been a great benefactor of a program sponsored by
the Campbell's Soup Company in which the soup can
labels are used as premiums to buy school supplies and
equipment. Churches and individuals from all over the
nation have sent millions of labels which have been
used to purchase vans, cameras, refrigerators, tape
players, ete. If you are interested in donating soup la-
bels, give me a call
But I'm not writing to ask for labels. I want to relate
a true story that happened to a woman, her sister, and
her son who were traveling in acrented motor home to
visit the Red Bird Mission when they started having
mechanical problems. When they stopped along the
roadside, they realized immediately that the motor
home was on fire. In the panic, each grabbed what
they could as they quickly exited the vehicle. The sis-
ter grabbed her purse. The son took his "boom box"
and a couple of jackets. And the woman grabbed - be-
lieve it or not - a sack full of soup labels she was deliv-
ering for her church! the motor home was completely
destroyed with all its contents, but the soup labels
were delivered as promised.
This story made me think about what I would be
"hollers™
REFLECTIONS ON
RELIGION AND LIFE
Rev. Harold Schwantes
Pastor
Central United Methodist Church
sure to take with me if I were in a similar situation. As
I look around [I realize I have many possessions, yet in
an emergency very few are of much importance if |
must risk my life to save them. Besides my family, |
suppose Bootsie, our cat, would come next in impor-
tance (at least, on a good day) and after that it would
probably be whatever I grabbed on the way out.
Recently, this story has also helped me as 1 have
pondered over other life situations. For example, there
are many times when I have disagreed with my
teenagers about their choice of dress, hairstyle, diet,
and sometimes friends. But as they grow up and |
grow older, I find there are not that many disagree-
ments worth risking our relationship over. The same is
true in my church, our community, and our world.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not suggesting that some
things are not worth the risk. But I am trying to choose
those things more carefully now so, when I come out
of the fire, I'll have more than a sack of soup labels
with me!
