“OUR GOD IS EVERYWHERE PRESENT”

(No 5 in series: The Attributes of God) “ Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the wor d Matthew 28:20

com

We cannot go anywhere where God is not p r e s e n t T h i s i s c a l l e d O m n i p r e s e n c e ( E ve r y w h e r e p r e s e n t ) T h e P s a l m i s t a s ke d , “Where can I go from your Spir it? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the highest heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there If I r ise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me ” (Psalm 139:710)

God is with us dur ing good times and bad; happy times and sad times; on the mountain tops and in the valleys of life God never leaves our side; never gives up on us; never condemns us God is not that hard to find

We see God in worship, in reading God’s Word and ser ving in God’s kingdom We see God in the b e a u t y o f n a t u r e ; i n f l owe r s, q u i e t s t r e a m s, sunr ises, sunsets and in the stars at night We see God whenever a baby is bor n, a child is at play and whenever families gather I r e c e n t l y s aw G o d i n t h e s m i l e s o f o u r granddaughter, Ella Grace Minor, as she received her diploma from Marshall High School I saw God’s love in the eyes of our grandson, Jacob Starr, & his br ide, Lexi Starr, as they repeated their marr iage vows in front of me in the church he was baptized in

I saw God in the faces of two longtime fr iends whom I had the pleasure of uniting in marr iage I saw God in the witness of Coach Steve Long as he told his stor y of God’s faithfulness in his life in a recent Father’s Day Sunday worship ser vice Dur ing that same ser vice I saw God in the beautiful song which was sung by recent O H S graduate Madison Uramkin

In his book, entitled Who Needs God Rabbi Harold Kushner wrote, “Religion is not pr imar ily a set of beliefs, a collection of prayers, or a ser ies of r ituals Religion is first and foremost a way of seeing It can’t change the facts about the wor ld we live in, but it can change the way we see those facts and that in itself can make a real difference” (N Y : Summit Books, 1989; p 27) T h u s, t h e q u e s t i o n i s n o t w h e t h e r o r n o t God exists The question is whether or not we see Him

Prayer: Dear Lord, give us eyes of faith to see You in the wor ld around us In Your strong name Amen.

I DA R E YO U TO B E L OV E D . . .

When people listen, God speaks

When people obey, God acts When God acts, people are chang ed

Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall vows be perfor med O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come Amen Psalm 65:1-2

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death Romans 8:1-2 REFLECTION: The word condemnation has a ver y harsh tone to it It means vilification, damnation, or disapproval

No one I know likes being condemned Ever yone has a fear of being exposed for something we foolishly did and then condemned for it That fear seems to live in our souls forever The reason is, we are bor n with a sense of r ight from wrong, good from bad These instinctive laws of life must come from somewhere As a Chr istian, I accept the tr uth there is one God, Creator, who is sovereign over all of life As a confessing Chr istian, I also accept I am a sinner As I confess this reality it caused me a lot of discomfor t I ask you this question: Should I feel this way, guilty about hur ting others? Or should I just ignore it God’s Word tells me I should be uncomfor table I hur t others (sin against them) and I am mad at myself for it As a sinner, I find I am in a contest between what I know is r ight and my own flesh betraying me Tr uth is, we are constantly being attacked by sin It is a curse Then, one day I hear this message: “the Spir it who gives life has set (me) you free from the law of sin and death ” I stop and wonder could this really be tr ue! And that is the point of being a Chr istian We discover the mercy of God, He pardons us and forgives all our sins past, present, and future So, if you ever get sick and tired of being condemned, ask God for help He loves to regenerate our hear ts, minds, and souls to a new life in Chr ist Chr ist unleashes the power of the Holy Spir it which sets us free from the curse of death So find a Chr istian and ask them to tell you their stor y of life with God, I dare you

PRAYER TIME: Praise you, O God, of the heavenly city, for you continue to offer us your love and the miracle of new life in Chr ist Praise your Holy Name In Jesus’ Name, Amen

A D O P TA B L E Pet of the Week!

of the Lovable, huggable, and ADOPTABLE, it’s JAKE THE DOG!

Jake was brought into Wishbone s care as a lost dog who was never reclaimed This sweetie is always smiling He is ver y outgoing and fr iendly with people and other dogs! Jake is a go with the flow kind of guy who enjoys anything that gets him out of his kennel, but especially if there s a human involved like playing in the r uns or going for walks After a little exercise he loves snuggling and getting pets Jake could join a home that already includes other dogs and/or kids He gets along with most dogs and would love to have a doggie sibling If there is another dog in the home, a meet and greet will be scheduled to make sure they get along well Dog-savvy kids 8 years and older would be his best fit Jake would also be a good candidate for someone looking for an ESA

EWS

Welcome New Owners, Brandy & Jesse Blanchard!

I don't have the words to properly express the gratitude I have for you all in trusting me to supply you with your personalized shirts and awards

When I began this journey, I could never have imag ine d t he rel at ionships I wou ld build and the f riends I would make over the years. I am grateful for all of them.

When the pandemic hit and I had to close my do ors for 3 mont hs, I was wor r ie d w het her my business wou ld sur v ive and how I wou ld b e able to afford to ret ire

When we opened back up, the support we received was unimaginable and somewhat over whelming Your support afforded me t he opp or tunity to t hin k ab out t he next chapter of my life: RETIREMENT

This has been a difficult decision because I w i l l miss d ai ly interac t ions w it h our customers and f riends, but it is time and I have found t he r ig ht p e ople to t a ke B&C Trophy to the next level. My prayer is you will continue to support Brandy and Jess e Blanchard in the same manner you have supp or te d me. We are excite d for them to be taking over and know they will

continue to provide the same great ser vice and build relationships with all of you

To all the employees who worked for me over t he ye ars, I appre ci ate your cont r ibut ions to our success. To my husb and w ho has supp or te d me and worke d b eside me t he last fe w ye ars you have b e en my ro ck and I appre ci ate you more than words can say

To my d aug hter, Tera Kinnane – w ho sacrificed other opportunities, better pay, and a job with benefits – I could not have done t his w it hout you You have b e en a br ig ht smi le and happy p ers ona lity through it all and I will forever be grateful for the time we had running B&C Trophy together and I will miss working with you ever y day My success is your success The great news is, Tera will continue to be part of t he d ay-to-d ay op erat ions, st ay ing to help make a seamless transition and be a familiar face through the process

S o, ple as e stop in and s e e Brandy, Jess e and Tera for a l l your s cre en pr int ing, embroidering and engraving needs

- Sherr y S chumaker

We are s o honore d to continu e t he legac y that Sherr y and Tera have created. When you hear the name B&C Trophy in t h O ts ego/Pl ainwel l are a you t hin k munity Sher r y has b e en a fixture nd the counter for 40 years, not only r ing go o ds and s er v i ces, but itabl e ac ts as wel l We cou l d not b e e grateful to her tr usting us with the s, and are s o t han k fu l t hat Ter a has ed to stay on and work alongside us We absolutely could not do this without the support of both these ladies. Our goal is to offer many of t he s ame go o ds and ser vices that the y have provided all these years. We will also lo ok to put a ne w spin on t he d ay to d ay op er ati ons and ad d ad diti ona l offer ings to put our ow n imprint on the well loved and resp ected B&C Trophy brand our lo cal community has come to know.
