Stepping Stones...

By REV. ROBIN WENTWORTH APP Since I have an offbeat way of looking at things, I occasionally find television news fat more entertaining than sitcoms, and often more insightful than psycho-dramas. For instance: As you undoubtedly recall, the excessive amount of precipitation we have recently received in our area has qualified the weather and its consequences as more than usually newsworthy. So

ROBIN APP one night while trying to stay awake long enough to glean the day’s highlights, I watched a clip about a road closed due to high water. It was magnificent...hats off to the camera operator responsible for this segment: First there was a shot of the road completely immersed in flood water. Then the camera panned back to reveal several signs in front of the water with warnings such as: “ROAD CLOSED,” “HIGH WATER,” “DANGER,” blocking the path. Now keep in mind here that at the point where the signs were located, the water was in full, ominous view. The next shot showed a car (a cute, little, red, American-made economy car) slowly, steadily, stubbornly, weaving THROUGH the signs and heading straight toward the water. THEN the final scene revealed the same car, stalled in the middle of the flooded road, with water well above the wheels and creeping rapidly toward the hood. Now, the visual impact of the story sent peales of laughter through me. And yet, I’ve seldom seen a more poignant, vivid life illustration. Tell me, are you ignoring the warning signs in your life and heading for high water? Single parents: Does your “significant other” love your children as if they were his/her own? If not, under-

Lion lines... The Nappanee Lions Club meeting was held October 24, with the president, Wayne Miller, presiding. There were 19 Lions and three guests present. North Wood High School Basketball Coach Kern Bough was the guest speaker. He has an optimistic outlook about this year’s teams. The coach reported that he got more of the boys to do their homework practice during the summer, and stated that he thinks there is a possibility of some good players this year. There will be jusl one meeting in November and one in December. Members should also pay their dues. Roman Mast, reporter.

The Eta Zeta Chapter of Psi lota Xi recently presented a specially-commissioned oil painting of the Nappanee fire station to the local Smokey Stovers.

Help for the Humps and Hollows of Life

sutiiu uuu as uic uanger sign u is. 11 you continue in that relationship you will find yourself in high water. Husbands: Is your wife depressed? Does she tell you you never talk to her? That you’re gone too much? That there’s never enough family time? Has she asked you to go see a counselor with her? Pay close attention. If you choose to ignpre the warning signs you may find your marriage irreversibly stalled with its engine flooded. Moms and dads: Is your youngster having trouble adjusting in school. Does she claim nobody likes her? Does his teacher say his work’s not up to potential? Is she constantly complaining about vague, indefinable, ailments? Take heed, this is not just a stage. If you travel blindly through the warning signs you risk the dangers of high waters. Girls, does your boyfriend have a “bad temper?” Does he sometimes get a little physical when he ’ s angry? Don’t kid yourself that he’ll “outgrow” it. That’s a warning sign with “danger” in big red letters. You’re headed for water so deep and currents so strong you may very well not survive them. When the reporter interviewed the driver of the car featured on the news spot and asked why he ignored the signs, he replied, “We’re not very familiar with the roads around here, and we didn’t know another way to go.” Which is probably exactly the same reason most of you disregard the warning signs in your life...you don’t know another way to go. Well, at the risk of sounding unsympathetic-find one. Get a ‘map’...ask someone who’s familiar with the territ-ory-experiment with a different route. If you get lost, back up and try Service note Marine Lance Cpl. Jack L. Smith, son of Robert E. Harter and Betty J. Smith of 553 East John Street, Nappanee, recently returned from deployment to Okinawa, Japan, while serving witli the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. During the six-month deployment, Smith participated in cold weather and live fire exercises in Okaido, Japan and Zambalcs, Republic of the Philippines.

yet another way. It is destructive, self-defeating, and totally inconsistent with any understanding of health and well-being to plow ahead with no regard to warning signs alerting you to current and potential problems. There are plenty of times we CAN’T forsee problems...plenty of times when we’re caught by ‘flash floods’ of life and simply have to ford through as best we can. All the more reason to count it a special blessing when we IX) have warning signs and respond accordingly.
