Getting Past Your Past
In his 1994 Oscar-winning performance, Tom Hanks played the role of the seemingly simple-minded yet complex character of Forrest Gump. Throughout his life, Forrest was intertwined by two other characters.

“Behold, I have told you.” He had come all the way from heaven. His arrival had ushered in a great earthquake. He was on a mission. He was to roll back the stone from the door of the tomb in which the crucified Christ was laid. He sat upon it like General Douglas [...]

My cheesy and ripped-off title comes from a thought I had while reading in the book of Numbers. “Eleazar son of Aaron the priest will be responsible for the oil of the lampstand, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil.

It was bikers’ week at the Philema Road Baptist Church this past Sunday. I didn’t count the motorcycles but there looked to be about 30. One of them was mine. Some of the riders look the part. They’ve got the ZZ Top beards and some have a variety of tattoos. I have neither. [...]
