When at mid-day, the sun beat down to drive sun-browned Bodies, not unwillingly, to a favorite place for swimming, An oasis — much more than just a hole in a creek. When, at the close of day everyone talked and laughed, And made plans often too ambitious for mere man, And stories were told to shiver spines and hold young eyes wide. And when it was time to sleep, The quiet often interrupted by a bark in the distance, There was a closeness present — a sense of security and peace. H ave you ever wondered why it is that you find yourself involved in so many things?

Writings of Charles Luther Robinson
Mama was a little upset with me when it got back to her, but when she told Daddy that Friday night when he came home, he just smiled and kept right on smoking his pipe. I am 48 years old, and tonight I find myself reflecting upon the fact that it is a miracle, or a series of them, that I am here at all. Is He really fulfilling a purpose by using me? But if I am, if God is using me, then I pray, earnestly, that I will be strong enough — that my faith will hold, and that my life will have been for good and in accordance with His will.
Nine years later and I still wonder, but I know that God does work His miracles sometimes in subtle ways through ordinary, average people like me.

She waited up for us. Sleep for her often interrupted, and sometimes almost none at all As children went through our childhood diseases, And for her we would often call. Then it seemed that when she knew each child was safe, Though we were quietly weeping She closed her eyes and with a smile She quietly went to sleep!
A h, a mecca in the desert — when days of summer sun sent us flying, barefooted through pastures and woods, over barbed-wire fences to our special place of water fun. It was a magnificent retreat. Cool water, swimming, diving, sliding, and laughing on the slippery rocks — and no bathing suits, The girls never went with the boys. We really never got close enough to see anything but our imaginations did.
Mama Era Robinson M ama was a clown at times, when the four then of us gave her an opportunity. She was always poking nonsense at one of us. It was Halloween night, as I recall, and we four kids had been to the Halloween Carnival at the school gym. On the way back, when we were all psyched up with goblins and spooks and stuff, we really had the scare of our lives, Mama decided to really test our strength and our faith in our legs. So, she wrapped herself in a big and Mama was big white sheet and waited for us in a gully near the path we would take from the road to the house. October 10, at pm.
