The Second Mile
We often hear the phrase "going the Second Mile" in our modern conversation, but it actually has its roots in first century Palestine.During Bible times, the Romans had conquered much of the known world and ruled with an iron hand. A Roman soldier could compel a subject of one of the conquered lands to carry his backpack, or "load," for him one mile, but only one mile. When Jesus spoke to His followers in the Sermon on the Mount, He said to them..."If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles" (Matthew 5:41 NIV).The choice to go the second mile is the key that unlocks the secret of joy in difficult circustances. It has the power to transform a tiresome, menial walk into a joyful act of giving; to infuse a contentious relationship with a new spirit of kindness and generosity; and to change an individual's self-perception from that of a victim to a victor.The Second Mile represents a much higher law - the law of kindness, generosity and love.

Winter Stillness
by Carrin Mahmood
We walk through the winter stillness
Amazed by sight and sound
Awed by the snowflakes whisper
Gathering on the ground
We stand on a glorious sunrise
Awash in the promise of day
Daring not to move a muscle
fearing twill slip away
We glide crackling through the forest
In wonder our thoughts are lost
Guarded by ancient soldiers
Covered by moody hoar frost.
We crunch through laers of frosting
Too heavy to stay aloft
Remembering days of our childhood
When walking came to us soft
We bask in wae of the sunset Ablaze with purples and blues
Reflecting on all the days offered
Bathed in Crystalline hues.
