And a fabulous good day to you!<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Don't know that I've ever heard of a TGIW day, but there\nmust be one.<\/span>  Right<\/span><\/span>?<\/span>  After all,\ntoday is Wednesday, and we've got lots to be thankful for!<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Monday's Coffee Break apparently hit a nerve with a few\nfolks, so let me begin by saying that it was not my intention to offend any of\nmy Russian Orthodox friends or readers by my remarks.<\/span>  Guess<\/span> maybe I need to clarify myself.<\/span> \nI have lots of friends who are Russian Orthodox -- good friends, in fact -- and\nthey understand that my position or statements come from a spiritual\nperspective and are not intended to be personal slams against them, their\nmanner of worship or traditions.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

I've no quarrel with the gorgeous music in the Russian\nOrthodox church.<\/span>  I don't even mind if folks\nwant to retain some of the form or the pomp and ceremony.<\/span> \nI'm not here to judge folks who want to retain pomp and ceremony.<\/span> \nThat's between them and the Lord.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Where I take issue with Orthodoxy is when priests and\nministers who are supposed to represent the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus\nChrist (along with the power and authority, and the<\/span> <\/span>agape<\/span><\/i> love and faith which are characteristic of Jesus Christ) trade\nthat life for pomp, ceremony and traditions of men, and leave out the weightier\nmatters of love, faith, power, and the authority of the believer in Christ.<\/span>  That's when Christianity becomes a religion\ninstead of a personal relationship with the Lord.<\/span> \nThat's when it becomes death warmed over instead of having the power to change\nand transform lives into living examples of Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

There is nothing religious about the Lord.<\/span>  There<\/span> is nothing religious about a personal\nrelationship with Him.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Tradition and ceremony are one thing.<\/span> \nThey just don't happen to be life-giving in a spiritual sense.<\/span> \nThey may well please people's soul and flesh, but that isn't what Christianity\nis about.<\/span>  There is no communication of the\npower of God in ceremony, tradition, pomp and circumstance.<\/span> \nThere is no life-changing power in ceremony.<\/span> \nThere is no life-giving agape love in traditions established by men -- no\nmatter how esthetically beautiful or eye-pleasing (or ear-pleasing) it may be.<\/span>  Jesus was\/is NEVER about tradition: He is about\ntransforming us and restoring us to the image in which He created us before the\nfall.<\/span>  He is out to have for Himself a family\nof folks who are just like Him.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

OK?  Are we clear?<\/span> \nHave traditions, if you like.<\/span>  Have ceremony,\nif you like.<\/span>  Have all the pomp and\ncircumstance that tickles your fancy.<\/span>  Just\ndon't leave out the real life that comes in a personal love-relationship with\nJesus Christ, along with the attendant demonstrations of His life and power.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

As you will see in the unfolding story of Saint Paul\nIsland, despite the opposition, the religious persecution, the all-out efforts\nto literally steal the land out from under my folks, their home and the church\nthey built, the testimony they left behind and the ministry they poured out\nthrough their lives in 35 years of labor there (21 for Dad before he went to be\nwith the Lord) brought change to the community, a lasting tribute to them, and\nsalvation and transformation in the lives of every Russian Orthodox priest who\nserved on the island during their years.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Let me begin by saying that Della and I absolutely love\nSaint Paul Island.<\/span>  We<\/span>\nlove the people there.<\/span>  If the Lord had called\nus to that island, we'd be there in a heartbeat!<\/span> \nWe count many of the islanders as personal friends -- family, if you will.<\/span>  The Lord did a bonding together for us with\nthose folks that has never left.<\/span>  To us, Saint\nPaul Island is like Hawaii without the trees and warm tradewinds.<\/span> \nBut, wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Christmas morning, 1965, should have begun like any other\nSaint Paul morning.<\/span>  It didn't.<\/span> \nVery strong winds -- hurricane force winds, in fact -- had been blowing in from\nthe east.<\/span>  The waters off Saint Paul Island are\ndeep.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Before I continue, let me provide you with a bit of\nperspective.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

In Monday's post, I told you that Saint Paul Island is\nlocated in the Bering Sea some 350 miles north of Cold Bay in the Aleutians,\nand approximately 500 miles from Dillingham in Bristol Bay on the mainland (or\na thousand miles, give or take, from Anchorage).  Being<\/span>\nsituated in the Bering Sea (one could call that the northernmost waters of the\nPacific or the southernmost waters of the Arctic Ocean) puts it right where the\nmajority of North America's storms have their origins.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Now, if you happen to be a meteorologist and take issue\nwith that remark, I'll forgive you.<\/span>  Meteorologically<\/span>, there may be other factors\ninvolved, but if you've ever lived out in the <\/span>Bering Sea<\/span><\/st1:place>, you know\nexactly what I'm talking about!<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

The Discovery Channel (and its counterpart, the Travel\nChannel) airs weekly programs that refer to the Pribil of<\/span>\nIsland waters as the most dangerous place to fish in the entire world.<\/span>  An average of 17 people lose their lives in\nthose waters every single year.<\/span>  Our oldest\nson, Chris, served as a fishing vessel's chief engineer for one season in those\nwaters and decided the risks weren't worth it.<\/span> \nThe same vessel he served on went down without a trace with all hands on board\nthe year after he quit, and he lost some of his close friends from Saint Paul\nIsland.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

OK.  I've<\/span> said all that to\nlay a foundation for Christmas morning, 1965.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Dad and Mom awoke to hear a very peculiar sound.<\/span>  It<\/span> almost (?)\nsounded like they were on a houseboat, with waves lapping at the side.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Dad got out of bed, put his britches on and went to open\nthe front door.<\/span>  300 - 500 yards in any\ndirection was nothing but ocean.<\/span>  It actually\nlooked (and felt) like the house had been floated out to sea.<\/span> \nIn fact, the house was still securely anchored to the land.<\/span> \nDad had built the place at Saint Paul just like he had built in Barrow,\nWainwright and Point Hope, positioning the house on posts driven into the\nground with about three feet of space between the floor joists and the ground.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Good thing!<\/span>  Had he built\nany lower, the house would have been flooded and might well have floated away.<\/span>  As it was, the water level was right up to the\nlevel of the floor joists.<\/span>  The strong east\nwinds had brought the water level up to the point where the lagoon had flooded\nand the tide had come in, swamping everything on the lower parts of the island.<\/span>  The southern tip of the island was a hill\nwhere most of the island's residents had their homes.<\/span> \nThose homes were cut off from the rest of the island by the water which had\noverflowed the low-lying peninsula where Dad had built.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Dad found himself once again (remember 1944?) speaking to\nthe storm and the seas and commanding peace.<\/span>  I\ndo not remember how many hours they had to wait for the waters to subside, but\nthe damage to their place was relatively minor.<\/span> \nOther houses built during the days of the Russian fur traders broke apart and\nfloated away, but the community took everything pretty much in stride.<\/span>  They did live, after all, in one of the most\nconsistently windy parts of the world where there are only an average of seven\ndays a year when the wind does not blow at least 15 knots (17 mph).<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Realizing that although this might be a freak situation,\nit was still a potentially deadly location in the event of future storms of\ngreater intensity, and he applied to the Bureau of Fisheries for a change in\nhis land grant -- a change that would move him to somewhat higher ground.<\/span>  The following summer, he jacked the house up\nby hand and moved it to a new location some three hundred yards to the west --\nbut not before hauling gravel and scoria from nearby Black Diamond Hill and\nraising the ground level by some three-to-four feet first.<\/span> \nIn a way it was reminiscent of Barrow and having to fill in swampy ground with\nall those truck loads of gravel before he could begin construction of the\nchurch there.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Saint Paul Island differed from every other place where\nDad had gone to build and to establish the Gospel.<\/span> \nSure, there were some pre-existing churches in the communities before we\narrived, but mostly (at least at first) he was welcomed and made to feel\ndesired in the community.<\/span>  Saint Paul was not\nthat at all.<\/span>  Hostility was the order of the day.<\/span>  Dad and Mom were interlopers.<\/span> \nAfter all, who did they think they were coming to bring some new religion into\ntown when what they had was just fine?<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

And therein lay the issue.<\/span> \nThey weren't there to bring in some new religion.<\/span> \nIn fact, they were there to do the complete opposite.<\/span> \nJesus is about as un-religious as you can possibly get!<\/span> \nNope.<\/span>  They weren't there to bring another\nreligion, they were there to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Jesus had put it this way (see Luke 4:18-19),<\/span> <\/span>"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed\nme to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,\nto preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to\nset at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the\nLord."<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Saint Paul Island was an island of the "poor" in\njust about ever sense of the word.<\/span> \nDon't<\/span> get me wrong.<\/span>  There were some\nrighteous folk there.<\/span>  There were people on the\nisland who had experienced a genuine salvation experience with Jesus Christ.<\/span>  There were a few even who were unashamed to\nspeak of their walk with the Lord.<\/span>  They were\nin such a minority, however, that they were pretty much intimidated into\nkeeping silence.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

The Orthodox priest ruled the island with an iron fist.<\/span>  His<\/span> word was law.<\/span>  Whatever he said went -- no matter what anyone\nelse had to say about it.<\/span>  Even in cases where\ncrimes had been committed and Alaska State Troopers had been sent to\ninvestigate, when the priest commanded silence concerning the issue so as to\nprotect the guilty, people with knowledge of the crime would remain silent and\nnot speak out.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

The result was that Saint Paul Island was a literal\ngarbage disposal.<\/span>  The<\/span>\nassistant priest was sleeping with women in the community and getting them\npregnant, and having children by them whom he wouldn't support.<\/span> \nThe Alaska Department of Social Services couldn't get any cooperation in\nforcing him to pay child support because the senior priest commanded silence in\nthe community.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

The lay reader in the Russian Orthodox church<\/span>\nwas a falling down drunk who persistently beat his wife and children, sometimes\nto the point of breaking bones and causing severe injury.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

When some of these same people began to come to the church\nservices Dad and Mom held, heard the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for\nthe first time in their lives and made a commitment to the Lord resulting in\ndramatic change in their lives, the priest issued an edict to the community.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

"If you go to the Capeners<\/span>'\nchurch and die, you will not be buried in the city cemetery.<\/span>  You<\/span> will be buried in the cemetery reserved for\nsinners."<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

You may laugh at the absurdity of the edict, but to those\npeople it meant either going to Heaven or Hell.<\/span>  Out<\/span> of fear, some folks recanted their profession of salvation.<\/span>  For awhile it had a measurable effect on\nthe number of people who dared to come to the worship services.<\/span> \nThe non-native population of the island couldn't have cared less about the\nedict since most of them were not Russian Orthodox; and they became the core of\nthe church for years to come.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

In the 1960's and early 70's, Saint Paul Island's\nnon-native population consisted of U.S. Coast Guard personnel, U.S. Weather\nBureau personnel, Bureau of Fisheries people whose primary home was often in\nAnchorage or Seattle, or somewhere on the west coast, and Department of\nEducation folks -- the Superintendent of Schools for the Pribilof<\/span>\nIslands (also including Saint George Island), the local school principals and\nsome non-local school teacher families.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

For a time, the two churches -- the Russian Orthodox, and\nthe Assembly of God Church -- represented a picture in racial division with\nmostly White, and a few Black and Hispanic folks attending Dad & Mom's\nservices and Aleuts attending the Russian Orthodox services..<\/span><\/span>  It was an unintentional consequence of the\nthreats leveled by the priest against the longtime residents of the community.<\/span>  Things<\/span> were not\ngoing to continue that way, however.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Mom made it her business to get out and mingle in the community.<\/span>  Her<\/span> flair for\nsocializing and creating public dinners, teas and the like (And, Brother,\nyou've never seen a cook or a baker like Mom!<\/span> \nThat lady could put together culinary concoctions that were the envy of every\ncommunity in which she ever lived.) drew women who were sick of staying at\nhome, doing nothing, or being abused by their husbands.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Let's take just one lady as an example.<\/span>  We'll<\/span> refer to her as "Ludy."<\/span> \nShe was hardly the picture of an abused woman.<\/span>  For<\/span> appearance and mannerisms, Ludy<\/span>\nmight as well have been a Czarina.<\/span>  She had\nboth a commanding personality and carried herself like royalty.<\/span> \nLudy<\/span> was a woman of influence in the Russian Orthodox\nchurch, and her voice carried a lot of clout among the ladies on the island.<\/span>  She and Mom hit it off together and became\nfast friends.<\/span>  Their friendship lasted through\nmore than 30 years before both died in 2000.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

A day came when during the course of a normal, everyday\nconversation, Mom asked Ludy<\/span> if she had ever made\nJesus Christ Lord of her life.<\/span>  Ludy<\/span> had always professed to be a Christian, but this was\nnot something she was familiar with.<\/span>  When Mom\nexplained what she was talking about, Ludy<\/span> bowed her\nhead right then and invited Jesus Christ to become both Lord and Savior of her life.<\/span>  It would be a turning point of sorts in the community.<\/span>  The joy that began to be exhibited in Ludy's<\/span> life was infectious, and other women began to check\nthings out.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Mom, being the entertaining-type anyway, was in her element.<\/span>  It was made to order for her.<\/span>  The apostle Paul, in letters to Timothy and\nTitus, makes reference to a bishop being<\/span> <\/span>"a lover of\nhospitality"<\/span><\/i><\/b>\n<\/span>or<\/span>\n<\/span>"given to hospitality."<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b>  The apostle Peter, in his letters, instructs folks to<\/span> <\/span>"use hospitality one to another."<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b>  (<\/span><\/span>see I Timothy\n3:2, Titus 1:8, and I Peter 4:9)  I personally can't think of any person\nwho better exhibited this trait than my mother.<\/span> \nShe "used hospitality" to minister the Gospel in ways she must have\ninvented at the direction of the Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

One thing about it: when women begin to get excited about\nsomething, their husbands always want to check things out.<\/span>  No<\/span> matter how retiring a guy might be, if his wife\ngets turned on about something, and her excitement lasts more than a few\nminutes, a few days or a few weeks, he's going to get curious.<\/span> \nAleut (the pronunciation, incidentally, is: al'.<\/b>leh.<\/b>oot<\/span>)\nmen are just like everyone else in this respect.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Ludy's<\/span><\/span> husband decides to check things out -- but not the way you'd think.<\/span>  It seems that Ludy<\/span>\nand her husband had a daughter who lived in Seattle (it may have been\nAnchorage, but memory says Seattle).<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Guess I missed telling you something important, and this\nis the place to stick it in.<\/span> \nI've<\/span> already told you in a previous Coffee Break that Dad had passed his\ntests and received his General Class Ham license while in Point Hope.<\/span>  He was assigned the call letters,\nKL7-EGE.  One of the things he'd done was to rebuild an ancient linear\namplifier capable of putting out a kilowatt of power.<\/span> \nHe linked that to a Swan 500.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

The Coast Guard station had abandoned a three hundred-foot\ntower in favor of a newer, more durable 600-foot tower.<\/span> \nThe old tower was lowered to the ground with some assistance, and the Coast\nGuard commander gave it to Dad to do with whatever he wanted.<\/span> \nHe disassembled most of the tower, but kept a 60-foot portion to put up a\n40-meter quad antenna, along with some directional inverted dipoles at other\ncommonly used frequencies.<\/span>  (You Ham radio\naficionados know what I'm talking about.)<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

This gave him some wonderful and very reliable radio\ncommunications which allowed him to link up with people world-wide.<\/span>  It also gave him just about the only means of\nreliable communications on the island with the outside world.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

I've said all that to say this: Ludy's<\/span>\nhusband (we'll refer to him as "Prokoff<\/span>")\nwanted to make contact with their daughter, and apparently there was some\nfamily emergency involved.<\/span>  He came by the\nhouse one morning to ask Dad if it was possible to get a message through to\ntheir daughter.<\/span>  Dad dropped what he was doing\nand immediately went to the radio.<\/span>  Within\nminutes, he had established a link with a Ham radio operator in Seattle who\nlinked up with the phone system and made the call to the daughter.<\/span> \nProkoff<\/span> was able to resolve some critical issues in a\nmatter of minutes.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

After the phone patch was disconnected, Prokoff<\/span> hung around for a few minutes to talk.<\/span>  He<\/span> obviously had a\nspiritual burden he was carrying that he had not been able to deal with and\nchose that moment to unload on Dad.<\/span>  Dad\nquietly listened, then asked if they could pray together.<\/span> \nIt was a made-to-order opportunity.<\/span>  Before the\nmorning ended Prokoff<\/span> had accepted Jesus Christ as\nhis personal Lord and Savior.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

I've run out of day, so let's pick this up on Friday.<\/span>  See<\/span> you then.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

God NEVER calls His people to do the possible.<\/span> \n"Possible" is only the rational mind's way of dealing with human capabilities.<\/span>  God ALWAYS calls His people to do and\nperform the impossible.<\/span>  "Impossible"\nonly exists in rational thinking.<\/span> \n"Impossible" is ALWAYS "probable" and\n"accomplished" when seen through the eyes of faith.<\/span><\/i><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n

Bless you.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n
