I can vouch for the stories and th~ songs about the storms and rains of Georgia, too. As someone with a fear of storms can attest to. being in a pl<tce like Georgia can be terribly frightening. All of my life, I was afraid of storms and the ways people tried to soothe me . only magnified the fear. They would tell me that God and His ·angels were bowling or changing o.ut appliances, emptying Hi s ice trays (which exRiained th e baseball sized hat)) or angry with all the inhabitants of the Earth for being bad. Well . needless to say those stories did nothing to soothe my fears. and most certainly changed my perception of God is .good to God is Bully. Though my perception of God began to change when I was ifi the tirst grade, my fear of storms grew worse . I still ran into 'a closet, no matter where I was at. In public places such as schools, restaurants, hospitals or offices, I ran for cover under tables, desks or cloakrooms. I screamed and cried and quoted Psalms 23 repeatedly, always pleading with God. People in the community who knew and loved me would sometimes take me to their homes or offices to calm me down. They would notify my parents that I was safe with them. I had no idea when I moved to Georgia in the mid'80s that those seeds of love that had been sown in my bean as a child would start developing. God decided it was time for me to give up the fears of storms. In 1992, my children and I went to accompanied another family to sec the laser show on Stone Mountain.

So much seemed to be hap"pening while we were 500 miles away, waiting for someone to die so . he could have a liver to go on living. It is sad to know when you are wait· ing with such excited ·anticipation that it will be bringing another family great sorrow. · We ·alsq have green with tiny colored flowers 'to represent the fields of hay and farmland we left l:lehind to stay in the big city to wait, so far from home . We were lucky that we had family to stay with when we were not in the hospital. There was a lake nearby, a the short walk from the house with a 'small wooden bridge , ducks and fish. There were always friendly, smiling people there walking their dogs and children strplling along as I relaxed and reflected with God about my day, my hopes and my dreams.

Remembering like lives, no two are the same,. but they're unique combinations 'are beautiful, warm. and strong, just like our Lord and Savior. The yellow represents the glorious sound of the pager going off, just like a ray of sunshine, telling us to come to the hospital for a new liver and a chance at a new life. But that ray of hope came three· times that did not work out. It was just not meant to be, something was wrong. God know best. But we kept our' faith remembering that God knows best.

All of my life, I was afraid of storms and the ways people tried to soothe me . only magnified the fear. They would tell me that God and His ·angels were bowling or changing o.ut appliances, emptying Hi s ice trays (which exRiained th e baseball sized hat)) or angry with all the inhabitants of the Earth for being bad. Well . needless to say those stories did nothing to soothe my fears. and most certainly changed my perception of God is .good to God is Bully. Though my perception of God began to change when I was ifi the tirst grade, my fear of storms grew worse . I still ran into 'a closet, no matter where I was at. In public places such as schools, restaurants, hospitals or offices, I ran for cover under tables, desks or cloakrooms. I screamed and cried and quoted Psalms 23 repeatedly, always pleading with God. People in the community who knew and loved me would sometimes take me to their homes or offices to calm me down. They would notify my parents that I was safe with them. I had no idea when I moved to Georgia in the mid'80s that those seeds of love that had been sown in my bean as a child would start developing. God decided it was time for me to give up the fears of storms. In 1992, my children and I went to accompanied another family to sec the laser show on Stone Mountain.

One lovely section of this quilt · tells of the illness of my husband. The blue swatches represent the·sadness we felt as we missed events in our children and grandchildren's lives. So much seemed to be hap"pening while we were 500 miles away, waiting for someone to die so . he could have a liver to go on living. It is sad to know when you are wait· ing with such excited ·anticipation that it will be bringing another family great sorrow. · We ·alsq have green with tiny colored flowers 'to represent the fields of hay and farmland we left l:lehind to stay in the big city to wait, so far from home . We were lucky that we had family to stay with when we were not in the hospital. There was a lake nearby, a the short walk from the house with a 'small wooden bridge , ducks and fish. There were always friendly, smiling people there walking their dogs and children strplling along as I relaxed and reflected with God about my day, my hopes and my dreams. This was my time to talk with my Lord and Savior, my time td listen, renew !]lY strength and trudge ahead, putting everything in His hands . The red represents the blood shed by my Savior for me, and the blood, · that seemed like gallons, spilling out every time we would he would have a GI bleed. No time to clean up, just rush to the hospital so they could get it stopped before all tlle blood was gone from his body. They would transfuse new blood in as fast as it would come out, never knowing if this would be the time we wouldn ' t make it, but still keep-· ing faith, putting my trust in God to get me through whatever he decides. Remembering like lives, no two are the same,. but they're unique combinations 'are beautiful, warm. and strong, just like our Lord and Savior. The yellow represents the glorious sound of the pager going off, just like a ray of sunshine, telling us to come to the hospital for a new liver and a chance at a new life. But that ray of hope came three· times that did not work out. It was just not meant to be, something was wrong. God know best. But we kept our' faith remembering that God knows best. Whatever God works out will be right. · There must be a strip of black to represent the memory of the "problem" that came during the transplant when they stopped, stapled him shut, and sent him home to die.

The woman on my left put her head into her husband's chest as we couldn't run because the lightning rods were striking everywhere : An inner peace that I had never experienced during a storm came over me. I noted aloud how it seemed like God was entertaining us: not ·sc.olding or scaring us. Finally, the woman exclaimed, "Honey I think she's ri!!ht.

He was admitted to another hospital to be evaluated for a liver transpl~nt, even though he was so ill and weak that he could not even stand. Finally the right liver came and the transplant was a success. God was there carrying us all ·the way. ·In our minds, we pieced these memories together like cotton swatches in our crazy quilt. Family and friends coming together to make something beautiful. Only through God were we able to withstand all the ups and downs those 14 month s away from home brought. · Then the white that represents the light we had to follow all the way. The white encircles all the edges, just like God's loving arms are enoircling all of us in our lives . He gives U& choices to make in our life. We have to keep our hearts and minds (')pen, attuned to Him, to be able to hear Him over the noise of the world. This section of our crazy quilt of memories was only two years ago. . Since then, sharing sections of our crazy quilt of memories has brought us comfort. During our fourteen months away, and during the past two years. our family has ker.t warm, wrapped together by this qutlt of memories, and held tight in the loving arms of our Lord.

We then proceeded to check out and had a happy conclusion to the eve n1ng's endeavors. Meanwhile, the mteresting comment that my former coworker had made lingered in my mind. . "Everyone's lost but you ." Yes, I thought, it's possible to be very lost, and yet not know it. As far as the Christmas story goes, the book of Matthew in the Bible records a very poor. wretched "king" who was tragicall y lost and yet could not see the hope of grace even when it stood in front of him. "Atter Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi (Wi se Men) from the east came to Jerusalem and asked', 'Where is the One Who has been born king of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.' When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him" (Matthew 2:1 -3 NIV). Being disturbed, of course, _.means being unsettled. Folks usually don't like the feeling of being unsettled because it means being thrust from that which is comfortable. lt also means that whatever illusions of safety and secunty that ·they may ha ve are in danger of being dtspelled. Herod and his friends were disturbed because the tall shadow of a king worthy of worship was being cast over the1r petty mle. Too bad for Herod that he missed the opportunity of grace that had been extended to him. See, being "disturPed" isn't always a bad thing. It can rouse us to our need or the needs of others and cause us to mobilize our energies and resources to things that require action. Herod had enough "faith." so to speak, in spiritual things to take the Word of God seriously (via the report of the chief priests and teachers of the Law in Fellowship Apostouc Chu.-ch of Jnu~~' Christ Aj)t)Stullc VHnZandt and Ward Rd , P11s1or Jamr-~ verses 4-6). yet he registers no real faith at all in the God Who spoke those Words. So enamored is he wtth his own supposed greatness 311d so accustomed is he with "eli nunatmg threats" that instead of genumely seeking out the Lord so that he 'could worship H1m in spirit and in truth (see Joh n 4:23-24), he merel y le igns submission so that he may sabotage God's plan and murder the little Kmg of kings. But for' all his guile, strength, and (i.magined) glory, Herod's efforts prove frut tless and the plan of God marches on, undeterred and unhindered by man's pride and se lf-wt!L Ev.en though Herod may have been thmking in his heart, "Everyone's lost but me; I know where I am and am happy with what I am," he was lost. And for all the shock value that news of the newborn King inflicted upon htm, he would not allow the Prince of Peace to heal his disturbed and dt seased heart. seeking only to restore the small and petty happmesses that he thought that he had secured for himself. This is a good time of year to allow those things that we find "disturbing" to have the effect of aiming us to Jesus Christ. Instead of ignoring the Word of God, wnting oii the accountability prescribed by it and shmgging oft' the promises of love and peace )lroclaimed by it, we must each subject ourselves to it. The central theme of the Christmas story ts that Holy God sent His Son, His Love encased in human flesh. to earth in order to disturb us, shaking us tree from the bondage of sin and death ... a feat on! y made posstble in the 'life, death and resurrection of this amazing King Who once Jay in a pile of hay in a crude stable. Of course, any time is a good time of year to respond to the grace of God. As the Lord shakes you, striving to awaken you from spiritual sleep, and you find yourself "dtsturbed," remember that it may be that God is loving you into being "found." If so, let the light of His love lead you to this King so that you too may worshtp Htm. (Thorn Mollohan and his family have ministered in southern Ohio the past 12112 years.

Joe and Mary had ex penenced more than thetr share of dt ffi cul tles that vear. Because of Mary's iliness, the doctor bill s were eating into their small salary with precious littl e left over for the necessnies - much less the luxuries ltke Christmas. But there was the child to consider: little Joey was only three, yet surely he deserved some sort of Christmas. Mary scrimped on the grocery budget and managed to save a tiny sum . Together she and Joe went downtown to the variety store lt was filled to overflowin g with doll s, games, trucks and cars. Little Joey's eyes sparkled as they pushed him up and down the ai sles. Then he saw itthe item that captured hi s heart. It was a small red cowboy hat. Mary's own heart leaped lor joy 1 It only cost 98 cents. They could atlord the hat, plus a set of toy guns, and sttll have two dollars left to buy a tree. After all , a little boy needs a tree even 1f he is only two. Joe and Mary hurried over to the Christmas tree lot. Silently Mary prayed. "Please God, let us find a tree for only two dollars."

We then proceeded to check out and had a happy conclusion to the eve n1ng's endeavors. Meanwhile, the mteresting comment that my former coworker had made lingered in my mind. . "Everyone's lost but you ." Yes, I thought, it's possible to be very lost, and yet not know it. As far as the Christmas story goes, the book of Matthew in the Bible records a very poor. wretched "king" who was tragicall y lost and yet could not see the hope of grace even when it stood in front of him. "Atter Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi (Wi se Men) from the east came to Jerusalem and asked', 'Where is the One Who has been born king of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.' When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him" (Matthew 2:1 -3 NIV). Being disturbed, of course, _.means being unsettled. Folks usually don't like the feeling of being unsettled because it means being thrust from that which is comfortable. lt also means that whatever illusions of safety and secunty that ·they may ha ve are in danger of being dtspelled. Herod and his friends were disturbed because the tall shadow of a king worthy of worship was being cast over the1r petty mle. Too bad for Herod that he missed the opportunity of grace that had been extended to him. See, being "disturPed" isn't always a bad thing. It can rouse us to our need or the needs of others and cause us to mobilize our energies and resources to things that require action. Herod had enough "faith." so to speak, in spiritual things to take the Word of God seriously (via the report of the chief priests and teachers of the Law in Fellowship Apostouc Chu.-ch of Jnu~~' Christ Aj)t)Stullc VHnZandt and Ward Rd , P11s1or Jamr-~ verses 4-6). yet he registers no real faith at all in the God Who spoke those Words. So enamored is he wtth his own supposed greatness 311d so accustomed is he with "eli nunatmg threats" that instead of genumely seeking out the Lord so that he 'could worship H1m in spirit and in truth (see Joh n 4:23-24), he merel y le igns submission so that he may sabotage God's plan and murder the little Kmg of kings. But for' all his guile, strength, and (i.magined) glory, Herod's efforts prove frut tless and the plan of God marches on, undeterred and unhindered by man's pride and se lf-wt!L Ev.en though Herod may have been thmking in his heart, "Everyone's lost but me; I know where I am and am happy with what I am," he was lost. And for all the shock value that news of the newborn King inflicted upon htm, he would not allow the Prince of Peace to heal his disturbed and dt seased heart. seeking only to restore the small and petty happmesses that he thought that he had secured for himself. This is a good time of year to allow those things that we find "disturbing" to have the effect of aiming us to Jesus Christ. Instead of ignoring the Word of God, wnting oii the accountability prescribed by it and shmgging oft' the promises of love and peace )lroclaimed by it, we must each subject ourselves to it. The central theme of the Christmas story ts that Holy God sent His Son, His Love encased in human flesh. to earth in order to disturb us, shaking us tree from the bondage of sin and death ... a feat on! y made posstble in the 'life, death and resurrection of this amazing King Who once Jay in a pile of hay in a crude stable. Of course, any time is a good time of year to respond to the grace of God. As the Lord shakes you, striving to awaken you from spiritual sleep, and you find yourself "dtsturbed," remember that it may be that God is loving you into being "found." If so, let the light of His love lead you to this King so that you too may worshtp Htm. (Thorn Mollohan and his family have ministered in southern Ohio the past 12112 years.

Lenny Dykslra and Rafael Palmeini were among nine players accu,ed of doping by former m<uor league pitcher Jason Grim sley in a federal agent's affidavit unsealed Thursday. Ruger Clemen s wasn't one of them, despite a published report last year 1hat sing led him out. He was, however, prominently mentioned in last week's Mitchell Reporl on doping, but has denied ever using performance. enhancing drugs. Grimsley accused Canseco, Dykstra, Glenallen Hill and Geronimo Berroa of taking steroids. He also accused Chuck Knoblauch of using human growth hormone ; David Segui and Allen Walson of using performance-enhancing drugs; and Palmeiro and Pete lncaviglia of taking amphetamines , according to IRS Special Agent Jeff . Novitzky's sworn statement. All but Incaviglia, Berroa and Walson were mentioned last week in the Mitchell Reporl . At the request of federal prusec u10rs, a judge in Phoenix unsealed the 20page affidav il signed by Novitzky in May 2006 used to obtain a search warrant for Grimsley's home in Scousdale. Ariz. When the affidavil first was released in June 2006, players· names were blacked out. The As>ucialed Pre ss asked a federal magistrate judge to make the complele statement public, but the requesl was denied this July. In October 2006, the Los Angeles Times reported the names of Clemens , Andy Peuiue, Miguel Tejada, Brian Roberts and Jay Gibbons were among lhose blacked out. Tejada's name was mentioned when Grimsley described a conversation he had with Baltimore Orioles leammates Tejada. Palmeiro and Sammy Sosa about how they would play after baseball banned amphetamin'es. Segui said last year that hi s name was in the affidavit. Just after · the newspaper's report was published, Kevin Ryan. then the U.S. Attorney in San Francisco, said it contained "significant inacc uracies." On Thursday, the Times said it would run a correction in Friday's paper. "We ack nowl edge the inaccuracies of the . reporl and deeply regret the mistake'," Times spokesman Stephan Pechdimaldji said.

Lenny Dykslra and Rafael Palmeini were among nine players accu,ed of doping by former m<uor league pitcher Jason Grim sley in a federal agent's affidavit unsealed Thursday. Ruger Clemen s wasn't one of them, despite a published report last year 1hat sing led him out. He was, however, prominently mentioned in last week's Mitchell Reporl on doping, but has denied ever using performance. enhancing drugs. Grimsley accused Canseco, Dykstra, Glenallen Hill and Geronimo Berroa of taking steroids. He also accused Chuck Knoblauch of using human growth hormone ; David Segui and Allen Walson of using performance-enhancing drugs; and Palmeiro and Pete lncaviglia of taking amphetamines , according to IRS Special Agent Jeff . Novitzky's sworn statement. All but Incaviglia, Berroa and Walson were mentioned last week in the Mitchell Reporl . At the request of federal prusec u10rs, a judge in Phoenix unsealed the 20page affidav il signed by Novitzky in May 2006 used to obtain a search warrant for Grimsley's home in Scousdale. Ariz. When the affidavil first was released in June 2006, players· names were blacked out. The As>ucialed Pre ss asked a federal magistrate judge to make the complele statement public, but the requesl was denied this July. In October 2006, the Los Angeles Times reported the names of Clemens , Andy Peuiue, Miguel Tejada, Brian Roberts and Jay Gibbons were among lhose blacked out. Tejada's name was mentioned when Grimsley described a conversation he had with Baltimore Orioles leammates Tejada. Palmeiro and Sammy Sosa about how they would play after baseball banned amphetamin'es. Segui said last year that hi s name was in the affidavit. Just after · the newspaper's report was published, Kevin Ryan. then the U.S. Attorney in San Francisco, said it contained "significant inacc uracies." On Thursday, the Times said it would run a correction in Friday's paper. "We ack nowl edge the inaccuracies of the . reporl and deeply regret the mistake'," Times spokesman Stephan Pechdimaldji said.

The trained eye can still see greatness from a difficult shot that Woods can make look easy. Perhaps his most impressive round of golf was Saturday al the U.S. Open when he hit the firsJ 17 greens in regulation at Oakmont (and had to settie for a 69 ): And there is no denying the results. Woods again dwarfed the competition · this year with seven PGA Tour vic10ries. his 13th career major. skipping the opening playoff event and still laking the drama out of the FedEx Cup, and collecting two more World Golf ·championships to make him 14-of-25 against the world's best. But where was the spectacular shot that defines a special year'! One exercise to wrap up a season is to ask the major champions for the shot that people remember aboul their victory, and a shot that might get overlooked but was meaningful to them. Two years ago, 'it was Woods' chip-in for birdie on the 16th hole atlhe Masters, which made a U-t urn and hung on lhe lip before falling. Last year was a 4- · iron he holed out for eagle on the 14th hole at Royal ·Liverpool. What will people remember about his victory lqis in the PGA year Championship? "Hmmm," Woods said, contemplating almost long enough to grow a goatee. He settled on a shot he missed, a 15-fool birdie putt on the 18th hole of the second round at Southern Hills that spun 270 degrees out of the cup and forced him to settle for a 63, tying a major championship record. "If you think aboul il, I had a chance to break a record," he said. "Otherwise, I didn' t do anything the entire week that sto.od out, except to be consistent. But I think the nature of the course lent itself to that." As for the best shol, Woods didn't hesitate. "The drive on 16," he said. "I just flushed it."

The trained eye can still see greatness from a difficult shot that Woods can make look easy. Perhaps his most impressive round of golf was Saturday al the U.S. Open when he hit the firsJ 17 greens in regulation at Oakmont (and had to settie for a 69 ): And there is no denying the results.

But where was the spectacular shot that defines a special year'! One exercise to wrap up a season is to ask the major champions for the shot that people remember aboul their victory, and a shot that might get overlooked but was meaningful to them. Two years ago, 'it was Woods' chip-in for birdie on the 16th hole atlhe Masters, which made a U-t urn and hung on lhe lip before falling. Last year was a 4- · iron he holed out for eagle on the 14th hole at Royal ·Liverpool. What will people remember about his victory lqis in the PGA year Championship? "Hmmm," Woods said, contemplating almost long enough to grow a goatee. He settled on a shot he missed, a 15-fool birdie putt on the 18th hole of the second round at Southern Hills that spun 270 degrees out of the cup and forced him to settle for a 63, tying a major championship record. "If you think aboul il, I had a chance to break a record," he said. "Otherwise, I didn' t do anything the entire week that sto.od out, except to be consistent. But I think the nature of the course lent itself to that." As for the best shol, Woods didn't hesitate. "The drive on 16," he said. "I just flushed it."
