Witness A college student, having become a Christian, wanted to witness, and yet felt inade- quate in speech. He decided to express his faith by carrying his Bible with him. A big hus- ky football hero heckled and derided him unmercifully for this. The student made every attempt to keep calm, but fi- nally he turned to the "hero" and said, "You think I'm yel- low, a sissy, because I carry a Bible around the campus, don't you? Well, here, you car- ry it tomorrow." Because He Lives.

Thankfulness as a Moral Theraputic "In this world of corruption there is real danger that the earnest Christian may over- react in his resistance to evil and become a victim of the re- ligious occupational disease, cynicism. As a cure for the sour, faultfinding attitude I recommend the cultivation of the habit of thankfulness. The heart that is constantly over- flowing with gratitude will be safe from those attacks of re- sentfulness and gloom that bother so many religious per- sons. A thankful heart cannot be cynical. We should never take any blessing for grant- ed, but accept everything as a gift from the Father of Lights. We could begin with our cre- ation and tell God how grateful we are that He ever thought of us and brought us into being out of the empty void of noth- ingness. And when we had sinned, He remembered us still and sent His Son to die for us. He gave us the Bible and His blessed Spirit to teach us inwardly to understand it. We could go on to tell Him how glad we are for the Church, for good spiritual teachers, for faithful pastors and hymnists who have made the services of the Church each Sunday such a helpful and precious thing. In trying to count our many blessings the difficulty is not to find things to count, but to find time to enumerate them all"—A.W. Tozer.

"Jesus often withdrew to lonely laces and prayed" (Luke 5:16 NIV ). Jesus regularly withdrew from his disciples to pray and be alone with God. If even Je- sus, who was the son of God, found it necessary to have pe- riods of solitude. How much more do we need it with all the digital noise constantly around us? Following Jesus' example by making time to be alone to think or pray or simple be still can re-energize us and help us live life fully.

SR 56 Bowman 812-582-8896 Sunday worship 9 a.m.; Sun- day school 10 :15 a.m. We are exploring the words in Philippians 4:4-9 and how they can help us thrive in chaos. So many trials come into our lives and along with the busi- ness of life. These things can easily choke out the Life of God in us. But praise God, "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). What things will be add- ed? God's order back into our lives—a peace that passes all un- derstanding—He is in control. Facebook: White River Chap- el UMC, Jeff Pinney.
