When I lost my daughter on Christmas day last year, I al- so asked why, and I am still grieving today. But all the while I still thank God for sending me such a blessing in this world. To lighten my life with her warmth and smile. I thank God for granting me the time to know such a beau- tiful person. I could not have asked for a better gift or bless- ing from my Father in Heav- en. "Man is like a breath, his days are like a passing shad- ow" (Psalms 144:4). Denny Wiscaver, Pastor David Sattler, Reporter more amazing, God is waiting for us to come to Him. What prayer request has you waiting on God?

MAIN STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 10th and Main Streets, Petersburg 812-354-6844 Sunday worship 10 :30 a.m. Come visit us, our doors are always open to you. What can you do? Paul Smith (1921-2007) dug deep to summon incred- ible gifts of creativity and perseverance. Born with se- vere cerebral palsy, he start- ed making art at age 11 on an old typewriter. Steadying one hand with the other so he could use one finger to make one deliberate keystroke at a time, he typed symbols, such as # and @, using a black or colored ribbon. In this pains- taking way, he "painted" stun- ningly detailed pictures. In a T V report from 2004 (search "Typewriter Artist" on YouTube), a friend says Smith found joy in being cre- ative, and saw that as his life's purpose. When someone would say, "I could never do that," the artist would answer, "What can you do? " Whatever our challenges, God has given us all gifts to share with the world. Perhaps you can't "paint" pictures with a typewriter … but what can you do? Do it! Office hours: 9 a.m.-noon, Monday-Friday. Amy Melhiser, Secretary OTWELL WESLEYAN CHURCH 2277 N.

Fifth Sunday sing at the Otwell U.M. church, Sunday, January 30 at 6:30 p.m. In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. He then hid himself and watched to see if anyone would move the boulder out of the way. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many peo- ple loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone out of the way. A peasant then came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boul- der, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to push the stone out of the road. A f- ter much pushing and strain- ing, he finally succeeded. A f- ter the peasant went back to pick up his vegetables, he no- ticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King explaining that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. Moral of the story: Every obstacle we come across in life gives us an opportunity to improve our circumstanc- es, and whilst the lazy com- plain, the others are creating opportunities through their kind hearts, generosity, and willingness to get things do- ne. We invite all of you to come and worship with us. Roy Stilwell, Pastor Pam Lemond, Reporter Independent Methodist Methodist Pentecostal Presbyterian Wesleyan Nazarene Rothman, worship leader.

Waiting for God's help in the midst of trouble is hard; it can be tempting to try to find your own solution first. The Israelites did just that; under threat from their enemies, they sought help from Egypt instead of turning to God (Isa- iah 30 :2). But God told them that if they would repent and put their trust in Him, they would find strength and sal- vation (v. 15). In fact, He add- ed, "the Lord longs to be gra- cious to you" (v. 18). Waiting for God takes faith and patiences. But when we see His answer at the end of it all, we'll realize it was worth it: "Blessed are all who wait for him" (v. 18).
