CYBER COLUMN:
Where would we be without Easter?By John Duncan
I’m sitting here under the old oak tree, watching the clouds pour the rain on mother earth. Drip, drip, drip. The poet Percy Shelley wrote about them in his poem, The Cloud: “I bring fresh showers for thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams… .” Today as I think of dreary clouds, I think of the sun behind the clouds. Forecasters say the sun will shine tomorrow.
John Duncan I dedicate this column to pastors awaiting the sunlight of Easter in the clouds of ministry.
