Pastor Lane speaking….
|
I usually drive Highway
76 home since they have resurfaced it. It is nice
and smooth except in Caledonia. I like to think it
is easier on my car parts which suffer from my
driving habits bad enough. The scenery is familiar
to the point that I sometimes hardly notice it. (I
of course keep my eyes on the road!) Then all of a
sudden there is something different and I think when
did that happen? It is as if God makes me rethink
and examine the countryside once more.
The Gospels are a good
example of this. Many of us can recite stories of
Jesus from the Gospels. Often though we combine the
story from each gospel into one. For example, The
Christmas story: in our manger display we have Jesus
in the manger, Mary and Joseph, The Wise men, the
star, and animals. Only in Luke is there no room in
the Inn and Jesus, Mary and Joseph end up in the
stable. The Wise men are in the Gospel of Matthew as
is the star. When I notice these things I ask myself
"Why did God want it written this way?" It opens new
area of awareness and thought of how God is working.

Construction of this beautiful church was started
in 1863, the rock quarried from the adjacent hills. The work
was stopped during the Civil War, but the church was
completed in 1866 at a cost of $4,385. It was dedicated to
the glory of God in the same year. Desirous of maintaining
complete harmony, this church is located in Houston and
Sheldon townships, the township line
running up the center aisle of the church.
