“Love is Made Visible”
by Bob Perks
.
“Who is responsible for this?” the pastor asked.
“I can’t believe that no one has taken care of it.
I have been getting phone calls for two days.
I didn’t know what to tell them.”
.
For longer than anyone can remember the old Gospel
Church atop the hill in Reddington Valley served as a
beacon for those who were lost. Not just spiritually
but even as a land mark for giving directions.
.
“Turn down Main Street and head toward the brightest
star in the sky. You can’t miss it,” a traveler
would hear.
.
You see, on top of the old church steeple was a big
bright star. It was all one piece and lighted by a
huge light bulb. They actually had placed it up there
as part of a Christmas
display and never took it down.
.
But two days ago the bulb burned out. The entire town
was lost without it. It seemed that the locals were all
turned about at night. The confusion started when
someone passing through happened to stop the mayor to
ask for directions.
.
“I looked up and pointed to the star. It wasn’t there.
Thinking I was facing the wrong way, I turned around
looking for it but couldn’t find it,” he said.
“I think that guy is still riding around town.”
.
Soon the phone started ringing at the old Gospel
Church. People wanted to know what happened. The
problem was even the Pastor didn’t know. That star
was just always there. He had no idea who kept it
lit or where the light bulbs were. That is until
the phone rang late that afternoon.
.
“Pastor. I’m hoping you can help us,” the man said.
“This is Chief Robertson. We just got back from the
Delaney house. We found old Jim Delaney dead. It seems
he’s been dead about two days.”
.
“I’m sorry. I must tell you that I’m not familiar with the
man,” the Pastor said.
.
“No one seems to be,” the Chief replied. “There are no
known relatives or friends available.”
.
“Well, if it’s a burial service you are looking for, I’d
be pleased to do it,” said the Pastor.
.
“That would be great. But there is something else.
I’d like for you to come by in about an hour if you can.
The house is up the dirt road on Bishop’s Hill across the
valley from your church.”
.
“I’ll be there,” he replied.
.
The Pastor arrived just as Chief Robertson pulled in.
“What is it you wanted me to see, Chief?”
.
“Come inside. I think you’ll need this stuff.”
.
As they entered the home you could see stacks of unopened
mail along with various books scattered about.
.
“Over here, Pastor. I believe this is for you.”
.
There on the mantle of the fireplace was a box with a small
white envelope attached. It said “From the star keeper to
The Gospel Church”
.
The note inside it read:
.
“To whom it may concern:
