Frank Lyman

... dramatic fall from grace in the mid-1980's, this calendar now stands as a witness to hypocrisy instead of virtue. It's not only televangelists who disillusion us, of course. It's anyone whose character does not match his or her calling. Think of the pain we feel when someone we respect lets us down. Doesn't a part of us die in that moment?

... loves sparrows so much that when one of them falls from the sky, God knows it. Then Jesus turned to his listeners and said, "You are many time more important to God than are the sparrows." How much are we worth? You and I would walk a little taller and feel a little more important if we knew just how much we are loved.

... to the multitudes of people. This is a rich world. We need not wring our hands in despair over the plight of the hungry of the world. Jesus challenges us, "You feed them!" And we can. We live in a rich world. And we are rich people. We may not feel very rich, but really we are.
