Dear Ken and Family,
There were two things that routinely called us away from farming. They were the two social mixers in our lives and they were school and church – one about our lives now and how we live them. The other, which is the basis for how we live our lives now: the history of our world, especially how it started. That deserves a brief comment:
One of the teachings taught in public schools, is evolution. Yet it has no explainable or logical starting point and little evidence in the physical world. Possibly the most glaring “missing link” is the absence of missing links from so called simple life forms to the more complex – US ! Even the simplest life form, the cell, is unexplainably complex! Darwin said that if this were so, his theory would fail to explain our beginnings. (He had no way to study microscopic cell structure or physiology.} The many scientists who believe in evolution try to define a starting point in different ways which can be lumped into one silly, but needed term, “The Big Bang”. The other teaching is based on the only history which has proven itself true in too many ways to be discussed here: the Bible. Most churches have tried to meld Christianity with evolutionary theory, but Jesus never did (nor the apostles}, and without Him there is no Christianity. Archeology constantly finds more evidence for the history written in the Bible. Our family was blessed by celebrating creation with a 24 hour rest every Sabbath as in the creation week of Genesis and as practiced by Jesus and the apostles throughout New Testament times.
It was while in the sixth grade with Mrs. Stoddard (where we memorized three of Robert Frost’s poems) that I first entered the Glidden home on North Maine Street. Diane was a gifted honor society student and I was fortunate to be able to study with her in their welcoming home. We were the best of friends. How many people can boast of knowing a family of twelve children? - A family that was well ordered and cared for by a virtuous lady who was never vacant from her post, and a hard-working father who fought in World War II. In a sense they had a “farm” of their own, keeping the children close at home helping with duties the same as we were kept home doing chores
After High School we all scattered for jobs, college, and other choices. In our eagerness to be adults we left the magic days of childhood. In December of 1971, Sandra and I rekindled our friendship in the maternity ward of the Claremont Hospital. It was New Year’s Eve and I was so happy that she won the prizes for the first area baby of 1972!
The ”valley of our youth” was green, thanks to our twelve years of free education and many churches with open arms to teach us about God’s love. There are three questions of life that we each need to answer:
1. Where did I come from –creation or evolution?
2. What am I here for? Is it all about me, or about serving God with His help?
3. Where am I going after this life?
And there are three things that our all-knowing God has never seen:
1. A person who has never sinned. Romans 3:23
2. A person He could not forgive. Romans 5:8
3. A person that He would not want to save. Romans 6:23
Today we are blessed with the gift of life and God is calling us all through His Holy Spirit and His Word – the Bible. He’s calling us to turn off our TV’s and computers and take time to “Seek first the kingdom of Heaven”.
Howard and I are so impressed with the deep love we continue to see in the Glidden clan. The losses and tragedies that your family has endured have strengthened your lives. Ken is a “patriarch,” using his skills and talents in caring for his siblings. We are proud to be friends of this family!
A prayer: “Dear God, we thank you for our lives, for our every breath is from you. We thank you for Bibles and freedom to read them and follow in your will for us. We thank you for forgiving our sins and inviting us to be your sons and daughters. As we choose to follow your will for our lives, your promise of resurrection is as sure as the resurrection of your Son, Jesus. We thank you for the gift of Sandra and for the love that has bound us together. For all of this we give thanks in the name of your Son. Amen”
With love, sympathy and fond memories,
Rosemary (Heath) and Howard Sprague
