There is a question that has plagued mankind through the ages
and continues to trouble us today: if God who is all-good made the
world, why is there so much evil in life. One answer was formulated
by a persian philosopher and religious leader who lived about 600
years before the time of Christ. His name was Zoroaster or
Zarathustra). He taught that there was a continuous struggle
between two independent cosmic forces: 1) Ahura Mazda - Lord of
wisdom, who made the material world which is good; 2) Angra
Mainya, which meams "all death" who is the spirit of evil. Thus
there was a dualism, a constant struggle between the good god and
the evil god. This dualism has had great effect since his time.
Both Christianity and Judaism have rejected this dualism but have
recognized the existence of Satan or the devil as a spirit of evil
leading people away from God. Today, many people dismiss the
devil as a superstition, but this is not the teaching of the church.
Jesus in the parable of the wheat and the tares (Mt. 13:24-) speaks
of the devil as the cause of much harm in the church. There are
some who would exclude allsinners from the People of God.
I remember an incident from years ago. I was talking to this
preacher and he said that they throw all sinners our of their church.
I answered that the older I get, the harder it is for me to say who is
the saint and who is the sinner, since there is something of both in
all of us. How can you have a perfect church made up of imperfect
people? Shouldn't we leave the matter of judging who is the saint
and who is the sinner in the hands of God? He can do a much
better job.

A Prayer For Rain
Almighty God, we are in need of
rain. We realize now, looking up
into the clear, blue sky above,
what a marvel even the least
drop of rain really is. To think
that so much water can fall out of
the sky, which now is empty and
clear! We place our trust in You.
We are sure that You know our
needs. But You want us to ask
You anyway, to show You that we
know we are dependent on You.
Look on our dry hills and fields,
dear God, and bless them with
the living blessing of soft rain.
Then the land will rejoice, and the
rivers wil sing Your praises, and
the hearts of men will be made
glad. Amen.

LIONS
SIGHT RESEARCH FOUNDATION
MOBILE EYE SCREENING UNIT
The Mobile Eye Screening Unit (MESU) is available to the residents of 21 South Texas Counties. Each
visit of the unit is sponsored by a Lions Club from District 2-A2. There are 76 clubs in a region that
extends South from San Antonio to Laredo, then westward along the border to Del Rio and loops
Eastward through the hill country through Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Boeme and back to San Antonio
The screenings conducted on the MESU are not medical examinations. They are designed to alert
individuals to potential problems with their eyesight or the health of their eyes and then refer them to an
eye care professional in their community. The MESU is not a mobile clime and will not dispense
medicine or glasses. There will be no charge for the screenings.
In addition to conducting Visual Acuity, Glaucoma and Blood Pressure screenings, the MESU is
configured to serve as a portable research platform in support of Sight Research Programs conducted by
Medical Research Personnel from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
For more information, contact your local Lions Club or call 210-820-3992.
