Why mourn Whitney?
Whitney Houston burst on the music scene with a fresh face and a wholesome image. She possessed a pure voice that sprung from her deep gospel roots. The daughter of famed gospel singer Sissy Houston, cousin to Dionne Warwick, and the god-child of Aretha Franklin, it’s no wonder her voice was a powerhouse. People fell in love.

The pursuit of patience
By Stan Layton, Pastor
First Presbyterian Church of Picayune
Daniel Okrent and Steve Wulf tell an amusing story about a weak hitting, one-time major league catcher named Moe Berg. It was a hot Indian Summer day in 1934 and Berg was playing for the Washington Senators. As injuries continued to mount, manager Al Schacht was left with no other option than to call upon Berg to catch. Earl Whitehill was pitching for the Senators when Doc Cramer came to bat for the A’s (Philadelphia at the time). Cramer would step into the batter’s box, then step out again. Cramer would finally get set, then Whitehill would step off the pitcher’s rubber to massage the ball a bit more. On and on the routine went, Berg looking more like an angry elevator with each successive round. Finally, Berg calls time and umpire Bill McGowan asks him what he wants. Taking off his catcher’s equipment and laying it piece by piece on home plate, Berg finally turns to McGowan and says, “I’ll return when those two guys decide to play baseball. Right now I’m going to take a shower” (Baseball Anecdotes, 95-6).

Trying to go somewhere, I ended up nowhere
By Rev. James L. Snyder/Family of God Fellowship
It was one of those weeks where, if I accomplished anything that delicious slice of information has completely eluded the tiny gray cells floating in my cranium. It is not as if those little gray cells had anything else to do.
