Sunday Nov. 2nd Ask The Blilnd Man He Saw It All

Our scripture reading for Sunday will be: Mark 10:52.  Have you ever thought about what it was like to be blind? I never will forget my first trip underground at the Majestic Mine. My grandfather took me and I remember his  turning off his bug light. The darkness was so dark you could almost feel it, your eyes are absolutely useless. Was I ever glad when he turned it back on.

            “I am blind and it is May,” I saw this sign hanging around the neck of a blind beggar, what a statement! We must realize that there is so much to see, to experience in this lovely world. To be blind physically is not to know the beauty of the sunrise, the beauty of the fall season, or the beauty of our children.

Louise Fletcher Tarkington wrote these words:

I wish there was some wonderful place called the Land of Beginning Again,

Where all of our mistakes and all of our heartaches, and all of our selfish griefs

Could be dropped at the door like a shabby coat, and never put on again.
