ANYONE CAN DO IT

(These thoughts are added to each day. Scroll down and read previous One A Days.)

Allow me to tell you a story about the great magician Houdini. As you most likely know this great escape artist claimed there was no jail in America that could hold him, and he always proved he was right.

Until, one day, he was locked in a jail in a small mid western town where everything went terribly wrong. It was very cold, below freezing really, and when the jail cell doors clanged shut he hoped he would be able to get out in record time because despite his self-discipline he was increasingly uncomfortable.

Left to himself, he extracted from a secret place in his belt a small piece of metal, strong and flexible. Then time lengthened and he could not pick the lock. He grew frantic. It was two hours and his fingers were stiff and no longer functioning very well. Soon he was bathed in sweat and feeling increasingly miserable but still the lock would not open. Finally in frustration he leaned against the door and as he did it swung open. It had never been locked.

That is the message of our faith.. Christ has come to the door of our souls and unlocked it. It doesn’t take any special magic to open it. All we have to do is open it ourselves and welcome Him in.
