I MAKE a point of reading your Saturday Message column. I like the forthright way Rev Kevin Logan expresses things. The Message on June 5 touched a spring in my heart -- the stark reality of our limited life. We all have a time span known to God alone.

I liked the "chatting with God" but as another way of saying we pray. Cutting out all flowery language and getting down to basics.

"O God, I need You today to get my priorities right -- help me to see that in every dark day there is a chink of light from above and cushioning me are the prayers of Your People."
