Emphasis Preaching Journal

How valuable is familiarity with the scriptures? Another man and I rowed a borrowed boat between the trees along the banks of a flooded river. We were searching for the bodies of two women and a baby girl, swept away by the roiling muddy water when their car missed a curve and plunged over the steep bank. After the remains of the two sisters had been found (and all hope was lost for the child), the mother and father of the women reacted differently to their grief. The father kept to himself and brooded, often with a glass of bourbon in hand.
