    Gather ye rosebuds while ye

    may, Old Time is still a-yin:

    And this same ower that

    smiles today

    Tomorrow will be dying.

    From To the Virgins,

    Robert Herrick

    Life is short.

    Even in the most difcult

    times, we are never far from

    the realization that this life is

    very brief. As one of our pas-

    tors said to me this morning,

    the days are long, but the

    years are short. Time passes quickly, and because it does, we

    often get caught up in how fast we are moving such that we

    never stop to appreciate the moments and the memories.

    I nd God is always trying to remind me of that in His

    Word. We are implored to give thanks to be thankful to cul-tivate hearts of gratitude. Psalm 136 is but one example: Give

    thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever.

    Such an attitude allows us to never regret to never go back

    and wish, I should have appreciated that more Such an at-

    titude also changes our perspective. I spoke to a local inmate

    on the phone who had just been sentenced to life in prison, and

    she said, I am so grateful to the Lord Her words stopped me

    short. Even in the darkest of moments, gratitude can shape our

    perspective, and gratitude is born of faith, faith that the love of

    God DOES endure forever.

    So, as we give thanks this month, I thought I would share a

    few of the many things I am thankful for at this time

    I am thankful for my assistant, Paula Lindrum, whose

    husband, Frank went home to be with the Lord last spring,

    and who, even in her grief, has born witness to me of the love,

    strength and grace of God;

    I am thankful for my friend and our security guard, Leon

    Blackburn. I have missed Leon as he has battled a brain ma-

    lignancy; I have missed his contagious positive spirit, running

    from door to door to be sure that no staff person would ever

    have to open a door themselves;

    I am thankful for nurturing teachers and smiling children

    in our Weekday School, children who carry brightly colored

    bags with their names on them and eagerly tell their mothers

    about their day as they climb into their cars;

    I am thankful for David McCutcheon, one of Gods burning

    bushes to me, who sings today in a heavenly choir;

    I am thankful for a group of women who regularly go to

    a local jail and minister to women who are lonely, afraid, andoften scarred by their past; women who need to hear that God

    is not nished with them

    I am thankful for coffee, for the feel of a purely struck

    golf shot, for the sound of a basketball as it passes through

    the net

    I am thankful for men like Paul Ellis and Marvin Hardy

    who daily live out their faith in the work place; men who, by

    their humility, attract other men to the gospel of Jesus Christ

    I am thankful for Allison Reed who walks through the

    Sanctuary each Sunday after worship, row by row, seat by seat

    tidying pews and tearing off the pages of our visitor pads, work

    ing until long after everyone else has gone

    I am thankful that my wife still loves me even though I pu

    our children in a cab in Paris by themselves

    I am thankful for Cherry Pie, Lasagna, and Cheese Grits

    I am thankful for the way the sky looks at night as the sun

    goes down, almost as if its on re

    I am thankful for the little girl who made me cookies and

    the little girl who asked me to come out and play

    I am thankful for David Foust, the man who produces and

    creates our Genesis service, who works and sweats behind the

    scenes to help the rest of us worship the Lord

    I am thankful for a group of women, mostly young motherswho have been called to serve those with HIV and AIDS, women

    who take their time to serve lunch and talk and make those with

    HIV and AIDS feel as if they are almost human again

    I am thankful for my dear friend and brother, William An

    drews, and for his wife, Rosie. I am thankful God has called

    him and gifted him to serve on Mercy Drive, and I am thank

    ful for the way in which our churches have partnered in that

    endeavor.

    I am thankful for the way it sounds when my daughter calls

    me Daddy, when my son says something that doubles me over

    ON the WAYw D. Davd D. Swas

    with laughter, or when we slap box until

    we are laughing so hard we cannot con-

    tinue, or the way all ve of us still pile on

    our king-size bed to watch a movie

    I am thankful for Richard Swinson,

    our Technical Services Director, who has

    never once said, That cant be done

    He always nds a way

    I am thankful for great novels, long

    dinners and quiet Saturday mornings

    I am thankful for Allison Beck,

    Charlie Sternberg and Tad Smiththree

    among many volunteerswho lead our

    Jobs Partnership Classes and help so

    many learn about the gift of work

    I am thankful for children who are

    here today even when doctors said they

    probably wouldnt beand there are

    many

    I am thankful for the way my heart

    feels when the choir sings The Majestyand Glory or It Is Well With My Soul

    I am thankful for my wife, who daily

    witnesses Christs love to me by the quiet,

    humble manner in which she serves and

    loves me

    I am thankful for the ve men who

    get up in my business each week

    I am thankful that God would take a

    man like me and give me the great honor

    of standing in a pulpit each week to pro-

    claim His Word His Good News.

    And I am thankful for you, the

    men and women of First Presbyterian

    Church, who are bearing the fruit of the

    Holy Spirit all around this community,

    who faithfully serve and give and wor-

    ship each week, who love and accept me

    in spite of all my neuroses, and who de-

    sire to see this church, His bride, bring

    only honor and glory to Him.

    May God, by His Holy Spirit, teach us

    this month to be just a little more grate-

    ful, and in doing so, perhaps see things ina slightly different light.

    With joy and gratitude, I send

    All my love,

    David

    Winter StuDy for WomenS

    miniStry coming in JAnuAry!

    B L nda

    Womens Ministry is excited that we are mov-ing forward with The Amazing Collection Bible

    study, and will introduce The Kingdom Books

    mid-January.

    This study, based on the books of Joshua

    through 2 Kings, will confirm what we know from

    studying The Pentateuch; that God, our Creator

    (Genesis), Deliverer (Exodus), Law Giver (Levit-

    icus), the One who disciplines (Numbers) and

    the One who gives blessing for obedience and

    curses for disobedience (Deuteronomy) will be

    revealed as a Promise Keeper! We will discover

    that Abrahams descendants do indeed get to

    the Promised Land, but that journey to estab-

    lish a nation will not be an experience without

    adversity.

    Make plans now to continue your journey

    as these historical books give us a glimpse of the conquering of the

    land, the ruling of the judges, and the uniting and dividing of the Kingdom

    We will be introduced to men and women of great courage and faith and wi

    witness their struggles with God.

    Three class sessions will be offered: Thursday mornings from 9:30 11:30am

    with child care provisions; Monday mornings from 9:30 11:30am wit

    child care as well; and, then for working women, a Monday night series from6:30 8:30pm.

    The Thursday series begins January 15; and, due to the Martin Luther Kin

    Holiday on Monday, January 19 we are making an adjustment and ask tha

    you also adjust for the rst week and begin the study on Tuesday, January 20

    Thereafter, groups will meet on Thursdays and Mondays respectively.

    If you are currently engaged with The Pentateuch study, our hope an

    prayer would be that you would continue with this series and perhaps sta

    in the same small group. Registration begins in November for The Kingdom

    Books series and can be done online at www.fpco.org/register or by picking u

    a registration form in the lobby of the Edington Ministry Center. Cost for th

    study is $20.00 which includes the study guide and other materials.

    If you did not participate in The Pentateuch study you can still join in th

    study. That is one of the features the Womens Ministry Council has loved abou

    this series; they are done in segments. Although we would have loved for every

    one to begin with The Pentateuch, we know schedules might not have permitte

    this. Join the study in January and well get you assigned to a new group.

    If you have questions or need additional information, call Rev. Donna Mc

    Clellan on ext. 1488 or email [email protected] or Lori Needham on ex

    1463 or [email protected].

    This past season of study over three hundred women engaged in the study

    so we hope you will join us in this fourteen week session. We conclude Apr

    23 and 27 respectively. n

    When member Scott Lee thinks back to his rst few trips to

    the Orange County Jail as a volunteer, he recalls the Plexiglas

    windows on the cold, metal doors that lined the halls andmost

    vividlythe faces of the inmates behind them. Some of them

    glared, while others shouted hostile words. That is, until they

    found out why he came: To share the Gospel.

    One inmate walked up to me and said he had a Bible ques-

    tion, Lee says. I opened my Bible to answer it, and there were

    12 guys standing there when I looked up.

    Since then, Lee has visited more than 30 jails and prisons

    around the world as a ministry development ofcer for the Good

    News Jail and Prison Ministry, a non-prot organization that

    sends chaplains into prisons and jails to witness to inmates.

    Good News chaplains lead a four-month, optional program,

    held in Christian dorms on site at prisons and jails national-

    ly and internationally. Each week, participating inmates at-

    tend 10 to 15 worship services and complete eight written

    Bible studies. Lee got involved with the program after a

    close Christian friend of his was arrested and put in jail.

    The visitation process was so frustrating, he says.

    I couldnt take a Bible or a song book. But then I sawpeople coming in and bringing these things. I asked the

    guards about it and found out they were Good News

    chaplains.

    Lee felt compelled to get involved and made a dras-

    tic life change: In 2001, he sold his consulting business

    and, one month later, became a full-time Good News

    ministry development ofcer.

    God let me have the [consulting] business and I

    sensed [Him] saying, Give this to me or Ill take it away,

    Lee says. Within two months of sensing Gods will for his

    life, Lee sold his business and went into full-time ministry

    on staff with Good News.A liaison between donors in the community and the

    Good News chaplains, Lee says his job is to share how God

    can change lives behind bars. According to studies from the

    U.S. Department of Justice, nearly 70 percent of those in-

    carcerated and released are arrested again within three years.

    Among the inmates who participate in the Good News Jail and

    Prison Ministrys program, less than 20 percent return within

    three years, Lee says.

    After seeing the impact the ministry makes rst hand, Lee

    wanted to share the experience with his friends and family at

    FPCO. Through his involvement in the 11am Sunday Genesis

    service, the Crossroad Sunday School Class and the Mens Min

    istry Council, Lee spread the word about the prison ministry and

    encouraged others to experience it for themselves. He received

    a great response from other members who asked him questions

    about how they could get involved. He organized small volunteer

    groups and took them on short trips to the Orange County and

    Seminole County Jails, as well as on longer trips to prisons in

    Colorado and a jail in Nebraska.

    Its clear in the Scripture that were supposed to visit people

    behind bars, he says, in reference to Matthew 25, verse 31-46

    We go for two hours. Its like a two-hour mission trip.

    His wife, Amy, has also taken an active role in the prison

    ministry. Amy supports Lee by attending some of the volunteer

    trips and answering questions from those who have reservations

    about visiting a jail or prison. A stay at home mom, Amy cares

    for their 2-year-old daughter, Maggie, and their newborn as of

    Sept. 8, Anna Kate.

    Ill get [phone] calls like, What should I expect? Amy says

    [I tell them,] Yeah, youll be nervous, but its going to be great.

    No one has ever left and said, I regret doing that.

    Amy remembers being nervous the rst time she ministeredto offenders too. It was at the female detention center at the

    Orange County Corrections Department. But all of her prejudg

    ments were washed away when she saw the sincerity behind the

    womens worship service.

    I walked into this room of 70 women there to worship and

    hear a talk about God, she says. There was no [background]

    music, just singing. It was the most authentic worship service

    Women were singing at the top of their lungs.

    She was also surprised at how easy they were to talk to. They

    would open their Bibles and talk about their sweet little babies at

    home that they missed and show us pictures, she says. I walked

    away feeling like I had something in common with them that Ihad never imagined. Theyre just trying to make good decisions

    in a [tough] world.

    During each trip with volunteers, Lee usually teaches a Bi

    ble-based lesson and then divides the volunteers and inmates

    into groups, with one volunteer designated to facilitate the dis

    cussion.

    Its a powerful experience for both the [volunteer] and the

    offender, Lee says.

    Although Lee shares his knowledge of the Scripture when he

    visits the jails and prisons, he says his job is to learn more than

    it is to teach.

    Crown/EConomy of God

    TesTimonyBarbara and Tommy Beck took Howard Daytons frst Crown class in 1985 (ish). From there, they became teachers and

    Bill and I were in their frst group in their home. My girls were in 1st, 2nd and 4th grades. The Burchaks were in the same

    group. From there Bill and I taught with Barbara and Tommy until we burned out. Neely took the frst teen class in 1992 and

    Amy and Wes took Crown at their church in Franklin a ew years ago. The girls were brought up with Crown principals. At the

    age o 13 they opened their own checking and saving accounts. They were given allowances and were responsible or paying

    or many every day things rom that allowance like haircuts, clothes, and movies. Allowances were given on the 1st o every

    month and the girls had to manage their spending on a monthly not weekly basis. That was such an important part o the

    learning. At a very early age they learned how quickly money goes through our fngers and the importance o giving and saving

    I would say that the Crown principals, or raising our girls, were one o the most important gits we gave them.

    We took this class as a couple. Years ago the class was opened up to anyone that wanted to come. There were some

    cases where one spouse would come without the other. The way money is handled in a marriage partnership is one o the

    top reasons or turmoil. Money issues or husband and wie are huge. We know o several instances where couples split ate

    one took Crown. They no longer could relate on a fnancial level. I dont know how this class will be set up or how the Crown

    group is dealing with this now, but it is my prayer that couples take this as couples and that this be stressed very strongly.

    am glad I can share my thoughts with you. Thanks.

    eVerYONes JOb,

    eVerYONes JOY

    When was the last time you heard someone say, That i

    the ministers job, when referring to some aspect of ministry

    Ministry is not just the job (or, better yet, the opportunity) o

    the clergy. The opportunity and responsibility for doing min

    istry has been given to all Christians. The upcoming Stephe

    Ministry training class is a chance to be trained and equippe

    for doing ministry. Talk to any of our Stephen Ministers; the

    will tell you that it is a joyous privilege to share Christs lov

    with others.

    Here is what one Stephen Minister had to say about Ste

    phen Ministry:

    I was kind of sitting on the sidelines in our congrega

    tion. Oh, I came to church every Sunday, but the rest of th

    week I was focused on myself. Then Stephen Ministry cam

    along. When I said yes to Gods call to me for ministry, I sa

    a lot of changes in my life. Now Im committed to caring mor

    about others than I do about myself. And you know what? Im

    walking a lot closer with my Lord.

    Is this chance for ministry the one for you? Thin

    about it.

    You may see the same guy in prison for 20 years, leading

    a mature Christian life for the last 15 of those years, he says.

    For me to think Im going to teach him something is ridicu-

    lous. Im there to learn. Hes seen things I never have.

    Over the years, Lee has developed friendships with many

    of the inmates, some of whom have shared their personal sto-

    ries with him. Among these was a former Mexican maa mem-

    ber, who became a Christian after working under a Good News

    chaplain for several months.

    He started to tell his other gang members that he didnt

    want to be a part of it anymore, Lee says. As a result, the for-

    mer gang member was jumped outside the prison cafeteria

    and attacked by knife. Luckily, he survived, and Lee still keeps

    in touch with him today to encourage and support him in his

    decision.

    In prison, youre persecuted for being a Christian, Lee

    says. Everything you do is watched.

    Although making the choice to follow God isnt always

    easy, it can change a life for the better, Lee says. Hes witnessed

    this at the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility in Caon

    City, Colorado, where a former inmate went on to become apastor. But inmates never hear stories from those who have

    succeeded after their release, Lee says. They only hear from

    those who return to prison for breaking the law again. Lee de-

    cided to change that.

    He organized a visit from former inmate, Promise Lee,

    who was now a pastor at the Relevant Word Ministry in Colo-

    rado Springs, Colorado. Promise Lee had spent seven years in

    the facility after being convicted of murder at age 15.

    Hed been a pastor for 12 years and a leader in the com-

    munity, Lee says. But hed never been back to that prison.

    Twelve men there remembered him from when he served his

    time 20 years before.Seeing the change Promise Lee had made to turn his

    life around inspired other inmates to do the same, Lee says.

    In the middle of the story, one inmate says, Let me get this

    straight; you served [time] here and now youre a pastor? Lee

    recalls. For the rst time, these men had hope that they could

    become something besides an inmate. Thats the Gospel. That

    God could take a murderer and make him a pastor.

    The inmates who heard Promises testimony were just a

    few of the lives touched in the prison ministrys 47-year histo-

    ry. Lee says the number continues to grow, with 432 chaplains

    now ministering in 24 states within the U.S. and 21 foreign

    countries around the world.

    Although Lee says everyone should experience the prison

    ministry at least once, he knows its not for everyone. I would

    invite everyone to come for the experience, but for them to

    have involvement is a calling, he says. Whatever step they

    take next is between them and the Lord. For Lee, it was a call-

    ing from the start. But what he didnt know was that his life

    would change along with those of the people he ministered to.

    Its a reality check, he says. We need to go places and be

    around people with different experiences. They dont deserve

    a second chance, and neither do any of us. Im doing this be-

    cause Jesus gives second chances. n
