Introduction
Is life just a random walk? Some ana-lysts think so about the stock markets.
Perhaps this bias is a spillover from their take on life. Who knows?
Others, myself among them, say life follows a natural order. It is predictable.
While history may not repeat in an exact pattern as to place or time, the present often is a rhyme to past events.
What do you think?
If you have a strong desire to find a better, more direct way to God, read on. The truth you seek may be at your fingertips.

Is Life a Random Walk?
I was in the post office when a father entered with his young daughter. The tod-dler started to run back and forth in the lobby, clutching a key.
When I went to my box for the mail, the little girl followed and watched with an intent gaze as I put a key into the lock and unlocked it. She seemed fascinated by the process. It was apparent she had tried her key in several boxes without success.
Key of Opportunity
She stood and stared as I relocked my mailbox. By then her dad had finished his business and was ready to leave.
Scooping up his little girl, he made for the door, then turned back and said, “When 3
you’re that age and you’ve got a key, the whole world is a lock.”
I thought about it, trying to learn the spiritual message. It is this: The whole world is a grand opportunity, a mystery for a child, something to unlock with a key, to discover what’s there.
Do you have such a key? How does it work?

What God Is Like
During the mass destruction of Hurri-cane Andrew in August 1992, many people in southern Florida lost their homes and all belongings. Some ECKists also felt the bite of its destruction. One such ECK family accepted shelter with another family until money from the insurance company let them set up housing again.
Their hosts told a story about their four-year-old girl and a brand-new baby in the family. Soon after bringing the newborn home from the hospital, the hosts’ little girl made a request. Could she please spend a few moments alone with the baby? At first the parents felt reluctance. Afraid of sibling rivalry, they wondered if she might harm the infant. But the four-year-old kept begging them to leave the nursery and let her stay with the newborn.
The parents gave in, but only after turning up the volume on the nursery inter-com.
(Trust in God, but turn up the inter-com.)

They listened from another room, pre-pared to rush back in if needed. Instead of distressed cries, however, they heard their daughter’s soft voice address the infant.
Her words were like a prayer.
“Baby,” she said, “help me remember what God is like. I’m beginning to forget.”
Many children do, in fact, remember what God is like—at least until they enter school at age three, four, or five. Then the memory begins to cloud over. Good school-ing teaches them to be responsible adults in society, of course. Yet at the same time a priceless gift is lost—a child’s understand-ing of God.
