They tell of Adam;
How frightened he must have been when, for the first time, he saw the sun disappear, ending the light of day!
It was Adam's first darkness... How could he understand the night, when he had never seen a dawn?
After the splendor of the sun, how astonishinly dark the darkness was; how desperate the long terror of the first fall of night... until Adam learned that day would come again;
that there is order in the universe.
And then Adam could begin to see how much light remains in the sky at night: the stars, and their enduring promise of the sun...
the returnining star of day.
Adam learned the night is never wholly dark, and no night is endless... even as each of us must learn it in our own times of trouble and darkness.
The Light is never far.
On September 27, 2008, we will be participating in the 2008 Tulsa Walk to Cure Diabetes. We are humbled by the number of people who have donated their time and money to support our team the past two years. Thank you and may God bless you in ways you never imagined possible.
This year, "Carter's Crew" has expanded. Our dear friend's baby was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as well. So, "Carter's Crew & Forest's Too" will be raising walking to support those who are deeply affected and suffer from this horrible disease. If you care to donate financially, please visit this link http://walk.jdrf.org/walker.cfm?id=87057623 to join our team.
If you'd like to order a 2008 version of our annual team T-shirts... please send an email to Laura at robertsonlaurac@cableone.net. Please include the sizes you need. Adult shirts are $15 and chirldren's sizes are $12. If there is a need to ship, we will need to add that to the cost.
Our team verse this year is: 2 Corinthians 1:7 (New International Version)
And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
