The path

Despite being born in 1987, one of my favorite television shows of all time is The Andy Griffith Show. The
fact is that I learned a lot of life lessons from that television show. Unlike the mindless junk that we are fed
today, those shows actually carried moral truth within them. For example, there was the episode where a man
named Rafe Hollister tried out and won a place in the local Mayberry Musicale. Barney Fife thought that he
was going to get that position and spent the episode singing around the courthouse. At one point, Rafe
Hollister heard Barney singing and his response was to ask Andy how long Barney had been ailing. If you
remember the episode, Andy asked Barney what he would do if he were asked to sing a capella? Deputy Fife
showed his ignorance by singing the words “a capella” to the tune of “La Cucaracha.” Makes you appreciate
Bill Tankersley, doesn’t it? Anyway...
Rafe Hollister was a simple farmer. He wore overalls and boots and was “as country as a butterbean.” But
he had a beautiful voice and was selected for the part. Well, long story short, Mayor Stoner and Mrs. Jeffries
just did not think that Rafe would be an appropriate choice for such a high class event in downtown Mayberry
(even as a boy I was able to catch the irony). They told Andy that Rafe absolutely could not sing. Andy
disagreed and decided that he would not go along with the mayor. In an effort to appease Mayor Stoner, Andy
had Rafe dress in a brand new suit and tie. That didn’t work well at all because Rafe felt so uncomfortable.
When the Mayor and the snobby Mrs. Jeffries agreed that Rafe could sing but that Andy must promise not to
let Rafe associate with any of the townspeople, Andy realized that it was nothing more than simple prejudice
and arrogance at work. So, he let Rafe sing in his regular clothing of boots and overalls. And the crowd loved
him.
It’s a simple lesson. We often get fixated on the outside when it is what is on the inside that matters. Rafe
Hollister was a kind and genuine person but some people could not see past his boots and overalls...
“But the LORD said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused
him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at
the heart.’” (1 Samuel 16.7 NKJV)
In Christ with love,
Trip

We have received thank you notes from:
Billy & JoEllen Haislip
& Anna Bolton.
Please stop and read.
******************
What can you do with $1.66? You can provide a lifetime of
clean drinking water for one person who doesn’t have it
through Healing Hands International’s clean water
well-drilling project. On Saturday, May 7 at 11:00 am, the
Praising Princesses will be walking 4 miles, the distance the
average woman or child in
developing countries
has to walk to collect water for their families, and it
isn’t even clean water. It’s deadly! In fact, a child dies
every 21 seconds from water related illnesses. So
please support the Praising
Princesses in their
effort to raise awareness and funds for this worthy
project!
***************
Our love and sympathy is extended to the family
of Mr. Billy Adams. He was the uncle of Talitha
Liggett & great uncle of Haley Hardison.
Also to the family of Mr. Willard Pyles. He was
the uncle of Billy Mac Sanders.
Both funerals were last week.
