1 2 In college, a student was asked to prepare a lesson to teach his speech class. He was to be graded on creativity and ability to drive home a point in a memorable way. The title of his talk was The Law of the Pendulum. He spent twenty minutes carefully teaching the physical principle that governs a swinging pendulum. The law of the pendulum is: A pendulum can never return to a point higher than the point from which it was released. Because of friction and gravity, when the pendulum returns, it will fall short of its original release point. Each time it swings it makes less and less of an arc, until finally it is at rest. This point of rest is called the state of equilibrium, where all forces acting on the pendulum are equal. The student attached a three-foot string to a child s toy top and secured it to the top the blackboard with a thumbtack. He pulled the top to one side and made a mark on the blackboard where he let it go. Each time it swung back he made a new mark. It took less than a minute for the top to complete its swinging and come to rest. When he finished the demonstration, the markings on the blackboard proved the law of the pendulum. The student then asked how many people in the room believed the law of the pendulum was true. All of his classmates raised their hands and so did the teacher. The teacher started to walk to the front of the room thinking the class was over. In reality it had only begun. Hanging from the steel beams in the middle of the room was a large, crude but functional pendulum made from 250 pounds of metal weights tied to four strands of 500-pound test parachute cord. The student invited the instructor to climb up on a table and sit in a chair with the back of his head against a cement wall. Then the student brought the 250 pounds of metal up to the teachers nose. Holding the huge pendulum just a fraction of an inch from the teacher s face, the student once again explained the law of the pendulum the teacher had applauded only moments before, If the law of the pendulum is true, Jeff Hendricks, Pastor Home # jhen@walnutmemorial.org Eugene Howard, Associate Pastor Home # fehoward@walnutmemorial.org Brian Elliott, Worship Pastor Home # Brian@walnutmemorial.org Gene O Bryan, Senior Adult Pastor Home # gene@walnutmemorial.org How to Reach Us Church Office then when I release this mass of metal, it will swing across the room and return short of the release point. Your nose will be in no danger. After that final restatement of this law, the student looked his teacher in the eye and asked, Sir, do you believe this law is true? There was a long pause. Huge beads of sweat formed on his upper lip and then weakly he nodded and whispered, Yes. The student released the pendulum. It made a swishing sound as it arced across the room. At the far end of its swing, it paused momentarily and started back. The student later testified that he had never seen a man move so fast in his entire life as the teacher literally dove from the table. It was easy for this teacher to believe in the law of the pendulum when it was all theoretical. But when his life literally depended on the law of the pendulum, he showed that his belief was only theoretical. How easy it is for us to believe in God s sufficiency in church on Sunday morning or in a Bible Study. But in the real world where our lives are on the line, too many of us demonstrate that our belief was only theoretical. Colossians 2:5-7 says: For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Faith in action will allow us to trust what the Word of God teaches and enable us take on the challenges of life, even when the weight of our circumstances are bearing down on us.

3 For those who have enjoyed Karen Kingsbury s Baxter family series. We now have the first book in the BAILEY FLANNIGAN SERIES - LEAVING. Bailey Flanagan leaves Bloomington after winning an audition for the ensemble of a Broadway musical in New York City. Cody takes a coaching job in a small community outside Indianapolis in order to be closer to his mother in jail. But new friends, distance and circumstances expose cracks in his relationship with Bailey. All of your favorite people are in this book as Bailey makes this journey. Wanda Brunstetter has a new series called KENTUCKY BROTHERS SERIES, and we have the first book, THE JOURNEY. This book is a continuation of THE DAUGHTERS OF LANCASTER COUNTY SERIES. Titus Fisher has often made poor choices. When he lived in Pennsylvania, he chose the wrong girl who broke his heart. When he moves to Kentucky, he finally discovers that he possesses woodworking skills. Will he stick with it or return to the old comforts of his life in Lancaster? Suzanne Yoder s talents don t lie in the traditional Amish kitchen, but she suppresses talents that are frowned on by those in her community who believe a woman s place is in the home. Will Titus be impressed or upset when he learns the secrets she hides? These are two of our most popular authors of Christian Fiction. I know you will want to read these. WMBC Family, We stand in awe of our Lord s grace and faithfulness. Thank you for rejoicing with us for Brady s GREAT test results. Thank you for your continued prayers on behalf of our family.
