  Friday Tale ~ Despair to Hope W hen you find yourself cocooned in isolation and despair and cannot find your way out of the darkness, remember that this is similar to the place where caterpillars go to grow their wings. Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.    In Psalm 42 we find David questioning unhappiness in his life. He feels that God has "cast him off". God had brought him through so many tough times and has caused him to rejoice in the middle of many terrible tragedies, yet now, he's discouraged and depressed and is questioning the reasons for it.   David recognizes that the answer is, prayer (verse 3) and praise (verse 4). In verse 5 he responds back to his discouragement, "Why are thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me?  HOPE IN GOD " (faith).   Are you feeling down and discouraged today? All it takes...

  Friday Tale ~ Look UP! THE BUZZARD     If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.    THE BAT      The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.    THE BUMBLEBEE      A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it die...
