The
1960’s was an era that was confusing
and disorderly
with a quantum shift in values that was deeply disturbing to Bill and
Gloria. They had begun to wonder if God hadn’t given up on the
world.

THE
FOLLOWING ISSUES WERE REALLY BOTHERING THEM:
FOLLOWING ISSUES WERE REALLY BOTHERING THEM:
-
The
educational system was being penetrated with the “God is dead”
idea.
-
Drug
use and racial tension were increasing.
-
The
older generation felt that the country’s best days were behind
them and their children (now baby boomers) agreed.
-
They
discovered that they had a baby on the way. It was wonderful news,
yet it also concerned them. Was it really a wise thing to bring a
baby into such a world?
One
sunny day in early spring of 1970, Gloria saw a tiny blade of grass
that had pushed aside layers of dirt, rock and concrete to reach the
sunshine of the world above. It had such a strong will to live; it
had overcome all the odds to fulfill its destiny.

that was shaped by the resurrection of Jesus and the birth of her

WORDS
FROM THE HYMN
FROM THE HYMN
“God
sent His Son, they called Him Jesus; He came to love, heal and
forgive. He lived and died to buy my pardon; An empty grave is there
to prove my Savior lives. … How sweet to hold a newborn baby; and
feel the pride and joy he gives; but greater still, the calm
assurance: This child can face uncertain days because He lives. …
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is
gone. Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the
living just because He lives!”
