ANCHOR FOR THE SHOW
After more than forty years as the host of television game show Wheel of Fortune, Pat Sajak retired this month. Sajak (77), who began his career as a DJ and served in the army during Vietnam, went on to anchor Wheel of Fortune, taking over from original host Chuck Woolery in 1981. “I’ve always felt that the privilege [of hosting] came with a responsibility to keep this daily half hour a safe place for family fun,” Sajak said during his final episode. “No social issues, no politics, nothing embarrassing, I hope. Just a game. But gradually it became more than that: a place where kids learn their letters, where people from other countries hone their English skills, where families came together along with friends and neighbors and entire generations” Sajak will be replaced by Ryan Seacrest—and those letters will still be turned by long-time co-host Vanna White, for at least one more season.
ANCHOR FOR THE SOUL
In today’s text, the writer of Hebrews urges his readers to cling to God as the anchor for their souls. He stresses the unchangeable nature of God, the solid rock of their salvation. It is impossible for the Lord to shift or lie, and so the Christian’s hope is secure when it is affixed to these eternal truths.
