My First and Last Jobs
Mrs. McGaugh, teacher of the eighth grade advanced
English and Literature class of Angleton Junior High, asked if anyone wanted to
write a weekly article for the town newspaper informing the plebeians of the
good things happening in public school. Mine was the only hand that was lifted
in surrender to the challenge. Many more felt called to the ministry of
information when they found out there was pay for the work.
It was quite an
enterprise finding all the five-W’s- and- H’s, getting names spelled correctly,
writing it all out in long hand, and submitting it by deadline. I learned to
look forward to the end of the six-week grading periods because I got to submit
seventh and eighth grade honor rolls as news for my Junior High Highlights
column. And, since I got paid by the column inch, I always pulled for the
scholarly success of young people; especially those with compound given names
(Bobby Joe, Peggy Sue, Larry Wayne) and multi-syllabic
surnames.
My first regular paying job was to report good news.How about that? My last job is, too!

The Bible Says The Bible Is Alive
What the Bible says about the Bible is that it is
alive and powerful. Some people might interpret that as meaning that it
changes. They might say that “living” means it varies with the emotional flavor
of the day. What once was true may no longer be true.
At times folks fail to
recognize the life in the Word of God. I sometimes hear it said that a
particular preacher brings the scripture to life. Well, the preacher’s job is to
bring the scripture to light or into the line of sight. The Bible, according to the Bible, is alive … and
powerful … and sharper than a two-edged sword. That means that even after all
these millennia, the Word of God does not need to be brought to life. It is
alive ...
and able to chase you down.
