The Compass

Hey Y'all! We have made a new account called "Together in Christ"! This page is all about uniting together as followers of Jesus Christ in the central Texas area. This art piece was made by youth from our congregations. They each painted their own piece, then they put their pieces together to make Jesus Christ! Just like this painting we hope that our small pieces of uplifting messages can help us all join "Together in Christ"! Follow us at https://www.facebook.com/share/1AzTYq67Xp/

An old man, going a lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast and deep and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again must pass this way;
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide—
Why build you the bridge at the eventide?”
The builder lifted his old gray head:
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.”
