OnE bo When my children were small, I always enjoyed reading to them before bedtime. We read lots of things, including the Bible and classic stories of the past. Through our bedtime reading, we met familiar characters like “Winnie the Pooh” and historical figures like “Abe Lincoln.” 1 also remember reading silly stories about a superhero known as “Captain Underpants.” Those were truly fun moments to share with my boys. Of course, many parents share this kind of bedtime ritual every night, and I recently heard of HR i another father who had a memo- rable experience with his little girl during one of those familiar bedtime rituals. This young dad was a law student, whose wife was working on her master’s degree while also working a full time job, which meant that dad and daughter spent much of the day together. Most of this young father’s law school reading had to be done after his little girl had gone to bed, which meant that he had to put in some long nights. When he had assignments that were due, he often suffered from CHURCH BRIEFS headaches because of his lack of sleep and long hours with his face in a book. Yet, he still looked forward to that bedtime ritual with his daughter, even though he knew that every minute he spent reading to his The Wings Mountain Herald they began their usual bedtime ritual, which included a pre-bed- time bath. While she was in the tub, the young father could see where the shots had gone into her thigh. There was some red- daughter would be a Jeff Hensley ness and swelling, and minute of sleep or work Meditation she pointed to the spot he would never get back. wmwsmmwmmsemees and said, “Owwee On this one particular daddy.” - Her little day, his little girl had been to the pediatrician for vaccinations, and they were making her feel terrible. When the evening came, voice broke her father’s heart, especially when it expressed pain. It was time for a bit of that fatherly magic, so the dad went Cornerstone Church of God, 202 Margrace Road, will have Vacation Bible School July 12-13 from 6-8 p.m. The theme is “By the Sea of Galilee.” There will be games, crafts and refreshments.

WEBSTERS From 1A ['ve been saying that I'm going to have a lie ulcer on my tongue after all of this,” she said, with a laugh. “We went thinking that we were going to have some type of church fellowship,” Mr. Webster said. “We were riding with our son to the church. But before we left the house we were looking for the keys and we couldn't find them,” Mrs. Webster said. “We were concerned about being late,” he added. “We got to the church about 10 minutes late and everybody was inside waiting for us. When we came in it was just a really big surprise,” she said. “It was great that we were honored like that.” “It was an undeserved occa- sion but we loved every minute of it,” Mr. Webster added. Mrs. Webster grew up in Oak Grove Baptist Church. At the age of 18, in that same church, they said “I do” and now they have, for 50 years, filled the walls of that church with joyous music. Around Christmas and Easter every year, they bring the church to life with musicals. Hundreds of traditional hymns, southern gospel, anthems, and even a few contemporary Christian tunes have filled the sanctuary from their hands and hearts over the years. Today, Mr. Webster leads an adult choir of about 30 members and Mrs. Webster continues to play the organ. “It’s been our life, Anne and I both have had a musical interest most all of our lives,” Mr. Webster said. “We are blessed with musical ability and it’s been good for us.” “They're a true blessing to us,” Lee said. Mrs. Webster played the piano at church, on some occasions, as a teenager, but never knew that bench would someday be her assigned seat in the sanctuary. They were both choral members when the ones leading the music in the church became ill and they felt the need to step up. “We had no idea that it would ever turn into anything like this,” Mrs. Webster said. She is retired from the school system and Mr. Webster, who is also retired, jokes about spend- ing the last 35 years of his life “selling pencils and paper clips.” He owned and operated Kings Mountain Office Supply in downtown. They spend a lot of their free time, now, seeing their family and, especially the grand- children.

With all the seriousness he could muster, he peeled off one of those stickers and stuck it where the shot had gone. “All better?” he asked, and she smiled. After getting into bed, dad told his daughter that he had a headache and they were not going to read that night. Instead, he climbed into bed with her and said, “Now you just close your eyes and rest.” The father then awoke suddenly, and looked at July 12, 2007 RE passed, so there was still time tof get some law work done, but he &- was surprised that his headache was gone.
