Tberefore, as Congress wres-

displaced workers need retrain-

Young people need education,
training, and jobs. Roads,
bridges, and sewers need re-

needs to be built. Good trans-

our na don remains a first class

LU. 189 luI. SIO U X CITY, IA. -In December an

If at any fust l';lanee, thiS great couo tr y of ours
does o't appt.:ar 10 b~ .I ChnstHUI one, a second
glance ..... 111 surely make II o bVIOUS we arc J. mono
atheistic nation. And In the S3me breath hom
which comes the word monotheism, also comes
the Image of .. n .all·powerful , all·merc lful , all·
lOVing. smgle being eX.lstmg somewhere in a mor~
d!vme realm from whence He governs a ll. Though
the doctnnes of such a belief may not al ways he
fully understood, II IS rt asonab le to assume Ihey
arc aI Ieas l fair to our su bconscIOus because th ey
so eaSily fit Into our bves Fill e vcn when such
doctnnes are practiced shallowly, they seem 10
gwc purpOSe: and meamng. I dare s"y, however,
...·i t cessing them practiced to their fullest potenual
IS mostly ~ rare oceaSlon . Even the beSt of us a rc:
tou wdlmg to bend m the duccllon uf hypocnsy
We swear by Oot: Cod. And though m painting
an Image 01 the God of our heans each and eyery
one of us strokes ea ch hue differen tl y into t he
can vas. the Ccnd resuh is suB a portra it of sup rem e
love and mercy- an a ll· k now ing l u d~e whose e ve ry
act IS a ccep t ed as wi ll bccause no t hi ng but fa i r
ba laDce fo r our deeds could be passed a s hiS ludg·
ment We creale thiS Cod of our hearts h om ou r
own mmds with thl!' fibe l of c:verythlng that IS
good ;,IRd btaulaful; and He becomes easy to love.
Somc:times ....·e don 't qUite feel that love for Hlm
an ourheartsi but we let Ills rulm& hand still gUide
us anyway- thIs nme by a deep, warnmg fear thai
pomts light back to HIS exact ludgment.
Throughout our lives wc arc lold, if not by our
learn ing t hen certain ly by ou r heans, that thiS God
of ou r!> has but one mess3ge: Iuye. We ale la ught
that from HIS love all CrCatlOn came and to HIS
love all crcJ. t ion 15 retumtng. Wc are taugbt that
each and every one of us has wlthm ourselves that
d iVine sparkle that comcs from God HlmseU Ihat
makes all mankind One equal expression of HIS
creativity . Throughout hIe we arc: lold that loving
dec:ds from us lo ward God and toward aU hvrng
men .lire the Uitlln2te measure and purchase ()f 2
return ticket to HIS klR~dom . We a rc taught that
all virtue IS bu t a diffe rent colo r of lovel and love
is. but another name for God.
When t he chips Me down, wc reach for His lund
even if it 's been a whlle slRee we've offered Him
our own. Sometimes when tbmgs are rollmg our
way, we find it In our hearts to thank Him, though
admtttedly no( o lten en o ugh. It 's a beaunfulthlDg.

 REFLE T
Once Upon A Time, 'Twas Easler!
Once upon a time,
'Twas o n Easte r morn ,
M ary reached the lomb
Not find ing Ihe Son she'd born e!
What a morn that was!
Excitemenl was all around ;
Searching for our Savior,
But nowhere could He be fou nd !
Mary Magdelene sa w a man
At first she d idn 't recognize ;
Then He spoke her name and
She looked into the Savior's eyes!
O ur Savio r had arisen !
He' d arisen fro m the dead !
Then He ascended into Heaven
Ful filling wha t He'd said !
And nowa l Eastertime ,
Let all our voices soa r
Prai sing o ur Heave nl y Fath er,
Praisin g Hi s Son w e adore !

The Electrical Supervisor
It's a job , you see, and one Ihal is
fun.
I've got a crew of fine people
That I' m learn in g to run .
They are human ; Ihey are different ,
And each one has needs.
At times my job se ms like
A gardener o ul p lanting seeds.
Now the tone of my voice
O r Ihe look in my eye
Has caused more than o nce
An employee to sigh !
I find il tough 10 be fair
As I organize eac h day;
Especially when I hear Ihal
So me people d on' t like whal I say.
M y crew appears most happy
When I arrive wilh the cheq ues .
For the res t of the w ee k most wish
That I' d get off Iheir nEtcks!
Yel when the job gets going
And the work needs 10 be done,
Everyon e roll s up their sleeves
And we begin to work as one.
I fi nd that I mu sl ba lance Carlsbad Caverns
Each day I hal is new A famous cave rn vast and wide
By varying t he lasks
Is fo und in Ih e weslern
Thai each person mu st do. co un trys id e.
The time sheets and repo rt s
This grotto far beneath the earth
Use up my spare time. Del igh ls the eye with scen ic worlh .
I find that is difficult to have
CoHee wi lh COlleagues of mi ne. We took a trip across the states,
But working with people is My loving mate and I,
The best job that I' ve had; To see Ihe sighl thai so elates
Working with my electrical crew The lourists slopping by.
Makes me feel glad . Arriving at the enlrance 10
A superviso r I am , This marvel o f the Wesl ,
And it's the job fo r me. We met with forest range rs who
Take a look at my crew, W ere there to mee l Ihe guests.
And I'm sure you 'll agree.
W e can'l do the job They told uS we were on our own ;
Unless we are one . A new ru le had been made .
And I'm p ro ud of the work Though we would have to go
And what we have done! alone,
We need no l be afraid .

Toronto, Onto
Into the deep abyss ,
Where bats arrayed in wilches'
gowns
My Lineman
Flew out Ihe o rifice .
He climbs from bed, p ulls on hi s The stillness fell and beauty seen
jeans , Within this hallowed shrine
Hi s boots are on the floo r ; Have lingered in the years
It doesn' t lake a second , between ,
And he's heading fo r the door. When straying though l s op ine.

He' s qui et as a mouse; Loc.JI 4 11, Kot~ Cil r, Mo.
It's sure a strange o le feeli ng
All alone in o ur big house.
M y hu sband is a li nema n ,
And he's ca ll ed o ul al night;
As I sta nd by th e window,
It's not a pretty sight.
The ice and wind are blowin'
roun d;
The slee t is in the air;
The peop le wan t thei r power o n ;
There's havoc everywhere.
Each time he leaves I alway think
This l ime could be Ihe end ;
He risks hi s life bUl doesn 'l
complain-
