 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;" Psalm 33:12
LIFE IN DEATH VALLEY
Two hundred miles northeast of Los Angeles is a baked-out gorge called Death Valley--the lowest place in the United States, dropping 276 feet below sea level. It is also the hottest place in the country, with an official recording of 134 degrees. Streams flow into Death Valley only to disappear, and a scant two and a half inches of rain falls on the barren wasteland each year.
But, sometime ago, an amazing thing happened. For nineteen straight days rain fell onto the bone-dry earth. Suddenly all kinds of seed, dormant for years, burst into bloom. In a valley of death there was life!
That is the Easter message. A desert becomes a garden. Beauty transcends the ugly. Love outwits and outlasts hatred. A tomb is emptied. The grim and haunting outline of a cross disappears in the glow of Easter morn.
The Better Way Singers will be at Old Rugged Cross Baptist in Maynardville on June 6th at 6:00 p.m. Everyone is invited.
ATTENTION - NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS!!!!!
