Every life is a story.  Every story is different.  What is interesting to some is ordinary to others.

A few years ago, a friend from our church suffered a stroke.  While in rehab at the nursing home, I would sit with him and visit.  I watched as he took a child’s toy consisting of a bucket with a lid on it that had plastic cutouts of a star, a half moon, a plus sign, a circle, and a square.  His job was to take the objects of those shapes and put them in the correct hole on top of bucket.  He would do that exercise for hours at a time.

The chief offi cial gave them new names: to Daniel, the
name Belteshazzar, to Hananiah, Shadrack, to Mishael,
Meshach and to Azariah, Abendnego, (Daniel 1:7). The
Babylonian king had the Israelite captives’ names changed.
God will change our names as well. We pray to be faithful
till the end. Spencer Fair, Spencer, MA, Bill Brown. NYS
