[Faith-talk] 10/28/16 Quotes, Announcement of Radio Show and One News Tidbit

[Paul Smith]

Hello and greetings to you all on this last day of the traditional 
workweek here in the U.S.  Of course this may differ in other 
countries.  Hope your day is going well, by God's matchless grace and 
His providential care.

Here are today's two quotes for your consideration, pondering and reflection.

Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education 
is when you read the fine print, and experience is what you get when 
you don't.  Pete Seeger, American folk singer and activist, 1919-2014 
(quote compiler's comment:  Those of us who have been gainfully 
employed for a long time can attest to the fact that on-the-job 
training in a particular field of work shows the mettle that the 
prospective employee is made of).

The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until 
the dark hours.  author unknown

And that will do it for the quotes, but a reminder is in store that, if 
you read this message in time and are interested, the undersigned will 
be doing his radio show from 9-10 AM today eastern time over the 
facilities of the Radio Reading Network of Maryland, accessible at
http://www.radioreadingnetwork.org.
We have two articles to share with you, one being the post from 
yesterday about the leaf and the wind and a story by William Trevor 
about a happy family.  Well, I'll leave it up to you to judge whether 
the family is not.  Thanks in advance for listening, even if you can 
only hear part of our God-led efforts.

And now to the one news tidbit, but one that I found very exciting.  It 
seems that in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem that 
workers were doing some excavation when they found within the walls of 
the edifice a cave believed to be the true burial site of Christ.  
There was an article about it in yesterday's New York Times, but I have 
to go to NFB Newsline to get a more complete picture of the story.  
Here is something I didn't know about one of the holiest sites in 
Christendom, and that is that the AP mentioned that six Christian 
groups use this site for worship.  Now I know the Catholic Church, 
Greek Orthodox and Armenian Churches have particular jurisdiction over 
this site, but what the other three are not.  The present Church of the 
Holy Sepulcher is a 12th-century building over yet a 4th-century 
structure.  Just wanted you all to know this, in case it has escaped 
your attention.

And that will do for today.  Until later when, Lord willing you hear 
the golden tones of the voice of the undersigned or until even later 
when hopefully another timely article will be posted, I am your 
obedient servant of the One who lived an earthly existence, died to pay 
for your sins and mine, and now lives forever to bring us His salvation 
and peace, Oil of Gladness.
