Take the breaks you need,
but don't 'tune out' on God
He dribbles down the floor
on a fat break. It is an overtime
game and his team is down by
two. He pulls up for the three-
point jumper, and it is....
The Oscar for the Best picture
of the Year goes to...
Some wild weather on the
horizon! Stay tuned because
we're in for some...
Such was the story of my life
once upon a time. For this was
the state of affairs with my old
finicky television set with the
temperamental picture tube.
The television set worked won-
ders until it got just so hot.
Then with no warning at all,
kablam! And on most occasions
it seemed to happen at the
worst possible time.
As most of us make our way
through a season full of reli-
gious meaning, and as we now
enjoy a well-earned vacation, it
seems to me that we are a great
deal like that TV. None of us
can go forever. No matter how
robust or hard-nosed we may
be, we must take a break at
some point or another. And for
many of us, this break comes

and Life

precisely during this week -
Easter vacation.
The break does not have to
mean a vacation from our God,
however. In fact, many of the
most enriching experiences we
may know as God's people
come when we least expect it -
in the off hours, on vacation,
quiet, away, alone.
With the Easter bunny having
returned to green pastures and
with the rush ‘of the busy sea-
son behind us, may we all "tune
out” from our normal routines
and "tune into" the God of
grace. Though we will not over-
heat, the warmth of a relation-
ship with the Almighty will be
ours.

THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD

WORSHIP 60D
In the last century, it must have been inconceivable that there would be an invisible power
which would visualize the inner workings of the human body. The only source of such infor-
mation was the dreaded prospect of surgery. Yet, today, body scanning is routine, saving
needless pain and suffering.
There is yet another power, one which has existed since the conception of the universe. That
power is God. He not only has the power to influence the inner workings of our bodies. He
our thoughts and our desires
. ‘even Qufi80uls. The philosopher, Angelo, Patri, stated
it well when he observed, “Spiritual POWes is a hidden power, locked in the silence of the
soul.”
God is waiting for the opportunity to save us from needless pain and suffering. Go to Him in
worship this Sabbath. Get the inside story.
