Ernest Davis (June 7, 1914 - August 23, 1947)

Ernest Davis W hen the gust of wind from the back of the open plane slaps your face, and you are contemplating the impossible, you have only seconds to decide to jump and face all your fears. Of course, alternatively, the choice remains to slink gingerly back to the awaiting bench, where the ground is reached by pilot effort and not from a single second of bravado - or perhaps stupidity. To the jumper, it is a leap of faith that the chute will open when the ripcord gets pulled. However, when a jumper is 10,000 feet in the air, regardless of its attachment to the body, it becomes difficult to have faith in the invisible or unfelt -- the parachute whose single purpose is to glide you to the ground safely after touring it from the skies above.   In many ways, God is our daily parachute. We cannot feel him unless we meditate upon his existence. He is invisible to our eyes. And it requires a leap of faith to rely upon his promises. When our feet are planted firmly on the ground, it

So metimes, I question God's purposes and plans. However, they are something I have always believed in. Every week, as I am flipping through our television channels, inevitably flashed before me is a televangelist preaching from his camera-lit pulpit. For the most part, the thematic summation of the sermons is that if you pray hard enough, live totally without sin, and, of course, tithe, you will see the pearly gates of heaven. It usually emphasizes that if you follow those three simple instructions (especially to tithe), you will be rewarded with peace and prosperity here on Earth. Of course, their belief system is hugely flawed. Skimmed over are the verses within the white pages of the Bible that express that none of us are without sin and that only God's child, Jesus, is perfect and flawless. They ignore the stories within the Bible foretelling the trials and tribulations endured by God's apostles and others merely to fulfill God's purpose, God's plan. In
