where yesterday & today meet by - the - sea Hello dear Sun Readers!

When nearing my final deadlines, I can’t help but ponder the thought of being an editor and the responsibility it carries. It’s a bit daunting to comprehend. So I honestly don’t focus on the size of my readership because I create the paper mostly alone... (but always in the presence of God... ) fully enjoying the gifts He’s given me to bless others. As I set out to work everyday, after my beautiful morning walks along the seawall, I realize it is this very expanse of sea, sun and sky that inspires The Sun... it talks to me... it says, ‘try to capture me, try to tap into my mystery.’ I paint it and photograph it, and tell stories that revolve around it because it has become a part of me spiritually. I acknowledge my part in it as a calling, even if I don’t entirely comprehend it. I only know that it requires that I work with a standard of excellence and sincerity. One particular morning, I read a devotion that featured a favorite childhood fable called The Wind and the Sun.It brings us to ask ourselves, when influencing or inspiring others, which approach works best? To blow harder and harder like the wind, or to shine brighter and brighter like the sun? The Fable: The wind and the sun decided to have a contest one day to see which of them was the strongest. When they saw a man walking down the street wearing a warm winter coat, they agreed that whoever could get the man’s coat off would truly be the strongest. The wind thought this would be a piece of cake, so he began to blow with all his might. But the harder he blew, the tighter the man held onto his coat. Eventually, the wind gave up, and the sun took a turn. The sun came out from behind a cloud and began to shine brighter and brighter. As the man got hotter and hotter, he finally took off the coat of his own accord. The wind had to concede that the sun was indeed stronger. So the moral of the story is obvious... we are to Shine! We were made for sunny days! Knowing every summer has its own story to tell, and how much we love telling stories, I can’t wait for you to enjoy your time by the sea reading this issue of The Sun. It has been created over the long fall and winter months for your reading pleasure... with rays of light and a touch of sea spray left on every page from those morning walks... because salt & light make the most beautiful combination.

“Shine like the Sun!”
