The Thumbs-Up Man Roger Ellsworth

He would be driving to his work in his old pickup truck and I would be driving to my study. I used to tease him about that truck. It had so many holes in it that I dubbed it a "see-through" truck. What I most remember about those meetings is not the sight of his beat-up pickup. It is rather what Pete would do when he spotted me. He would smile and give me the thumbs-up sign. I never felt like I needed an explanation. I took his thumbs-up sign to mean: "Be encouraged! Everything is going to be okay!"

Enjoy these easy-to-read short devotions by Roger, Sylvia, Martyn, and Tim--and a good cup of coffee at the same time!
