GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN HERE

WALTER RODGERS

Several Years Ago, I saw a bumper sticker on the car ahead of me proclaiming, "We found it!" It apparently announced the owner's evangelical Christian faith and belief in God.

Not long afterward, I saw a competing bumper sticker with a small Jewish Star of David announcing, "We never lost it."

Both stickers were telling, as well as amusing. They announced that the vehicle owners acknowledged God's presence in their lives. They also pointed out a basic truth that each of us has a one-on-one relationship to God.
