Boozman’s Veterans Day Message
U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) honors the selfless service and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans on Veterans Day. “I salute our veterans for their selfless commitment and immeasurable sacrifice to protect this nation and its ideals,” Boozman said in a video message. “Today is an important reminder that much needs to be done to honor our veterans for their service.” As a member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, Boozman is uniquely situated to help usher through legislation and implement policies that help our nation’s veterans. Improving healthcare, expanding educational opportunities and providing opportunities for long-term meaningful employment for our nation’s veterans are priorities for the senator as Congress continues its promise to the men and women who wear our nation’s uniform. Boozman will honor the service and sacrifice of Arkansas veterans at events in Little Rock on Veterans Day. Boozman will meet with the founder of Hot Springs Village based DAV K9 Assistance Dog Association and disabled veterans and their service dogs and attend the Arkansas Department of Veterans’ Affairs State Veterans Day Ceremony.

Feeling Forsaken? By Pastor Steve Ellison Human beings are social. We need loyal companions. Anytime that we begin to believe that we have been forsaken by those whom we trust we are headed for depression and despair. The Bible indicates that the ultimate horror that a human can experience is to be forsaken by God. Both Testaments describe God’s repeated promises to never leave or forsake His people. Only those who reject and forsake God will be forsaken by God. Anytime that God is described as leaving His people, it is always a temporary disciplinary action meant to crowd His people back to His loving arms. Hebrews 13:5-6 which is a quote of Deuteronomy 31:6-8 and Joshua 1:5 is just one among many examples of God’s promise to never leave us or forsake us. Hebrews 13:5-6 is God’s definitive statement on His promise not to leave us or forsake us. The writer of Hebrews strings five negatives together which does not translate into English very well. Putting two negatives together in English creates a positive. Putting negatives together in Greek is adding emphasis. The Amplified Bible
renders it this way, “God Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let you down or relax My hold on you! Assuredly not! So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm I will not fear or dread or be terrified. What can man do to me?” Kenneth Wuest, noted New Testament Greek scholar, translates it this way, “For He himself has said, and the statement is on record, I will not, I will not cease to sustain and uphold you. I will not, I will not, I will not let you down. So that, being of good courage, we are saying, The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What shall man do to me?” God wants us know without a shadow of a doubt that our relationship with Him is not dependent on our faithfulness but His faithfulness. We rebelled and forsook God but in a marvelous work of unimaginable grace, God made a way for us to be made everlastingly right with Him. Once we have trusted
Him and accepted His free gift our situation is up to Him. Another has been forsaken so that we do not have to be forsaken. Mark 15:34 and Matthew 27:46 record Jesus on the cross saying, “My God, My God, Why have you forsaken Me?” This is a direct quote from David and Psalm 22:1. The New Testament in multiple places clearly applies Psalm 22 to Jesus, so we know that this psalm is Messianic. However, we also know that it applies in some way to David but the context is not given to us. In any case we know that while Jesus really was forsaken, David only felt forsaken. Jesus was forsaken so that we do not have to be forsaken. Jesus had all our guilt poured out upon Him. Jesus bore the punishment for all our sins. As believers in Christ, we are never truly forsaken by God. Jesus bore that terrible punishment for us. So any time you feel forsaken, you can know that you really have not been forsaken, you only feel forsaken. Hebrews 13:5-6 cannot be clearer; as a believer in Christ, you are absolutely safe and secure in the arms of a loving God. .. …….. pastorsteve8800@gmail.com

Obituary Frazier shows Rotary Club the map of her cross-country bicycle trip
How many of us have a Bucket List, a list of things we want to do before it is too late? And if we have one, how many of those things on that list have we actually done? These were some of the thoughtprovoking questions Coreen Frasier, cross-country bicyclist from Little Rock, asked DeWitt Rotary Club members at their meeting October 29. Frasier, 71, bicycled across the United States from Portland, Oregon, to Washington, D.C. this summer, but what makes this feat even more extraordinary is the fact that she is a cancer survivor who was diagnosed with colon cancer twenty years ago at the age of 51. “I think I’ve done some things bicyclists only dream of and they never get to do. I get chocked up every time I say that because I am a cancer survivor, and I didn’t think I was going to have many years after 1995,” Frasier told the club. The trip, which was 4,500 miles, took Frasier 82 days to complete. She was literally “on the road” from June 2 to August 22. Although her schedule wasn’t carved in stone, she set a goal of completing her adventure by the end of August. Frasier, who usually camped outside for most of her trip, was up and riding the roads again as soon as it was light and biked, on average, 55 miles a day. Her daily journey would end around 5 p.m. when she would find a place to stay, set up camp, and enjoy an evening meal. Frasier said her story was really a “tale of two trips.” She set off on the first leg of her adventure June 2 with a fellow bicyclist and friend, Linda Schuck, 67, from Arkadelphia. Five weeks into the journey on a Sunday, Schuck took a tumble off of her bike literally in the middle of a Wyoming highway, which resulted in a cracked pelvis and marked the end of the journey for Schuck. After Schuck was okay and returned home to recover, Frasier decided to continue
on her adventure solo. She said she thought about it and realized she had already arranged to be gone for three months and therefore just decided, “I’m going to go on.” She and Schuck had registered for this cycling trip through Adventure Cycling and followed their TransAmerica Trail map those first five weeks. After Schuck’s mishap, Frasier’s first thought was to go ahead on the journey to Missouri where her daughter and her family lived. Her daughter convinced her to forego the TransAmerica route and the two of them, with the help of Google maps, would design Frasier’s own personal route of cycling. She collaborated with her daughter daily telling her where she was and asking about road conditions up ahead when she wasn’t sure. “That’s how I got to Washington, D.C. [from the Katy Trail in Missouri],” Fraiser said. “I don’t advise anyone doing what I did, but I’m glad I did it. I don’t really advise anyone just going off on the highway and forgetting your maps and doing your own thing,” Frasier told the group. Along the way, she kept a journal of her endeavors and saw a plethora of things most people only dream of seeing such as the Grand Teton, Yellowstone and the Continental Divide, which she actually crossed multiple times. No matter where she went, she said the regular breakfast crowd at road stops all along her route would always ask, “Where are you going? What are you doing?” And Frasier would always reply, “I rode all the way from Portland, Oregon, just to see you.” Her adventure was not always a walk in the park or smooth sailing though. She told the club that she hit severe weather in West Virginia while going over the Appalachians. She had no place to stay and was drenched when a lady took pity on her and told her that if she could wait until she got off from work, she would take her to
a motel. Frasier biked those 4500 miles on a Bike Friday which can be folded and packed into a suitcase. When you are traveling on two wheels, you don’t have a lot of room to take extra stuff along. She packed light with her entire load only weighing 72 pounds, bike included. One major item of necessity Frasier relied on incessantly and describes as a life saver was a rear view mirror. “I want to know if I am going to be hit,” Frasier joked. Among a few other items, she also took along a tiny hand-held stove, a sleeping bag, snacks, and surprisingly, only one spare tire with three tubes. Along the way, Frasier had five flat tires caused by what are known as “road snakes.” “Road snakes” are those wires left behind from steel belt radial truck tires. Despite the flats and the weather, her Bike Friday seemed to hold up to its end of the bargain. “It was very dependable,” she said. She was able to go the entire 4,500 miles with the same front tire and only had to purchase a new back tire when she reached St. Louis. A former physical education teacher, Frasier is not new to the athletic world and now teaches bicycle safety education in elementary schools around Little Rock and North Little Rock. When asked about the type and amount of training she does in preparation for a feat of this caliber, Frasier said that she commutes daily on her bike and only drives her car on Fridays. As far as races are concerned, she knows how to compete, but said, “I don’t feel the need to train for speed.” She would rather look around and enjoy the sights instead of always focusing on the bicycle tire in front of her. “I am a cancer survivor and I did get through that and now, man, I don’t stop for anything! I just keep going,” Frasier said.
James Ambrose Mr. James Edward Ambrose, 71, of Gillett, Arkansas, died Thursday suddenly and unexpectedly in an auto accident. Mr. Ambrose was born February 2, 1943, In Forrest City, and was the son of Hoyt Ambrose and Bessie Gately. He lived in the Helena area most of his life, was retired from the White River Drainage in Helena, was a Veteran of the Army National Guard, and was a member of the New Life Fellowship Church in DeWitt. Mr. Ambrose married Peggy Dossett Stotts in 1968, and she survives him along with one daughter, Kelley Ambrose Cariker of Gillett and one granddaughter, Emma Reese Cariker. He was preceded in death by one daughter, Lisa Kay Ambrose. Services for Mr. Ambrose were held Graveside, 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, at the Forrest Park Cemetery in Forrest City. Visitation was Tuesday, 10 a.m., until 12:00 noon at Stevens Funeral Home with Stevens Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. You may log on to stevensfuneralhome.net for the on-line register.

FAITH & RELIGION
A Thought By Michael P. Daniel Genesis 18 is a study of contrast in the reality we deal with on a daily basis. We have Abraham receiving three “men” (presumably strangers, at least in the beginning) not necessarily because there was anything apparently special about these men but because even in the ancient world, hospitality to strangers was a very big deal. Because of our New Testament lens, however, we read into Abraham’s reaction more than there may be initially because of his greeting; “My lord, if I find favor with you (NRSV) …” It follows that Abraham wants to give them respite as it was “in the heat of the day”. All is well as Abraham and Sarah go about preparing a meal and serving these men. Of course we know it follows there is clearly more to these “men” because Abraham is then told that Sarah (previously known as “barren” and now known as “old”) will conceive. Then these men set out from Abraham’s tent, the place of hospitality, and head toward Sodom, the place of extreme inhospitality, due to the “outcry that has come to Me” from those who suffer according to the “very grave sin”. The Scriptures open up the gap between the two in stating that The Lord’s determined judgment is not for Abraham is to be concerned with. Rather he and his seed are charged with “doing righteousness and justice” (vs 19). Yet Abraham, once he is aware of what Sodom is about to face, does make it his concern to intercede with The Lord on behalf of those who may get caught up in the judgment that is coming. Some have suggested Abraham was concerned only with Lot, his nephew. Though the text does not tell us this, we insert it into the context because, frankly, this would likely be our own concern! We would not care so much about those who may have it coming. We primarily concern ourselves with family and a few close friends. Though this is not in itself a bad thing, we fail to understand the importance of offering genuine hospitality to strangers, teaching our children of its importance. Though it is written in Hebrews that these strangers might be angels (13:2), we miss the greater point in hospitality that serves for its own sake rather than for what we hope to personally gain from our hospitality. Watching Abraham open his tent to these men, we see the ideal of a nation called forth; a nation charged with the privilege and responsibility of “doing righteousness and justice” which involves receiving strangers, and a “priestly” nation that will provide intercession between Heaven and earth on behalf of those who suffer from a lack of “righteousness and justice”. Sometimes our intercession involves prayer when we realize the limits of our capacity, but most times (I think) this intercession will necessarily involve our “doing” righteousness and justice with our own hands – not just for kin but also for neighbors whom we do not know. Some suggest we cannot always know our limits. I submit, however, that we often fail to test our limits in a willingness to go out on a limb for those we do not know and especially for those we do not like. Yet we see our ancestor Abraham daring to go to extreme limits in trying to make a deal with The Lord for strangers he does not know; and this after he has given up his free time in favor of these men who showed up in the middle of the day. In all things, the Divine Ideal is pushing self aside to serve The Lord and “neighbor” – with hands and with prayers. Though this may not be who we actually are, it is the manifestation of what we are called to be: a “priesthood of believers” charged with serving The Lord and our neighbor in the name of The Lord. We must not question who is worthy of our favor because the Ideal expressed by Messiah Jesus went to the cross “while we were sinners”; completely unworthy of such consideration. This service to one another will not always be easy, but it is always necessary. It is the Ideal which was in the beginning and will be in the world to come. Today we decide where we want to fit in. “Choose this day whom you will serve”. We must choose wisely ... and choose daily. Blessings, Michael
Post-Election Reflections By Tom Smith The results say more about us than them. Well, the midterm elections are over with and analysts are trying to figure out what messages were sent by the voters. While some see the Republicans’ regaining control of the Senate as a referendum on President Obama’s leadership, the fact remains that voters voted according to their personal preferences and worldview. Think about it: Those who enjoy smoking a joint or two voted for the legalization of medical marijuana in Oregon and Washington D.C. even though the Governor of Colorado warned against it after his state legalized it two years ago. Likewise, those who enjoy “free sex” without the worry of its consequences voted for policies that ensure access to birth control and abortion. Without a doubt, lesbians and gay men were far more likely to oppose discrimination based on sexual orientation that those who believe in traditional marriage and monogamy. Immigrants also favored liberal immigration policies as opposed to historic, letter-of-thelaw policies. Why is that? Simply because we vote based on what will benefit us most. When it comes to ideologies and values, few of us vote according to abstract principles or rational thought, i.e., “what’s right or best for the whole.” Instead, we cast our ballot on “what’s best for me” or “what’s in it for me.” Thus, it’s a self-propagating, vicious cycle. And, sadly, the more urban our society becomes, the more liberal it’ll become. Studies have shown that those who live in rural areas are much more conservative than those who live in cities. Thus, we shouldn’t be surprised that the basic values our nation was founded upon will continue to erode away in the coming years. For sure, political parties will continue to play an important part in the elections. But, as we saw in last week’s elections, there’s still a strong, conservative element in our nation that’s tired of liberal views and

values. Even so, our nation is still polarized and divided. We’re still a nation that’s lost her bearings and, like the ancient Roman Empire, is suffering from a moral malaise far deadlier than Ebola or any other disease. Sadly, the Church— which should be the “salt and light” in society—has been more transformed by culture than vice-versa. In an attempt to build biggerand-better buildings, have larger budgets and draw larger crowds, the Church has focused more on entertainment, programs, methodologies, etc., than she has her God-given Message and Ministry (II Corinthians 5:17-21). And, dear Reader, unless we do something, it’s only going to get worse. Studies have shown that three-quarters of young adults who went to church as children and teenagers don’t attend church in their 20s. And, consequently, they’re more apt to engage in the kinds of lifestyles—involving alcohol, recreational drugs, premarital sex, non-marital cohabitation, etc.—than they did when they were actively involved in church. That’s why it’s imperative for us to do what’s necessary to change the way we do church. The Message never changes, but the methodologies must. No longer can the pulpit be silent on moral and social issues, fearing lawsuits or lost membership. To do so is a violation of our calling and a negation of our witness. Therefore, here’s praying we’ll return to our roots and once again become the God-fearing, Bible-believing nation we were when we first began. Otherwise, the handwriting’s on the wall, which says “Doom, despair and agony on me.” May God help us. God bless you. (NOTE: If you’d like to contact Bro.

Senior Dragons Defeat Monticello Billies By Dawn Teer
The DeWitt Dragons played host to the Monticello Billies on Thursday, November 6, for the last game of the year. Prior to the game the Booster club honored the Sr. Players of the football team, the golf team, cheerleaders, and band members. The Sr. players all acted as captains for the game. Drew Boyd, Charles Dabner, Tyren Robinson, Shane Bitner, Tripp Wallace, Garrhett Wilbourn, Adam Hargrove, Chris Williams, Hunter Bisswanger, and Todd Grabert are the graduating seniors. The Billies won the toss and chose to receive the ball. They fumble and Shane Bitner recovers for the Dragons. On 3rd down, Jake Rieves keeps the ball and gets to the 20 yard line. After 2 rushing plays gaining a few yards, Jake Rieves again fakes the handoff and keeps the ball and runs in for a touchdown. The two point conversion is good. Score: Dragons 8, Billies 0 The Dragons again kick off to the Billies.The Dragons defense is fired up and refuse to let the Billies gain much yardage. They do manage to get a first down which only makes the Dragons defense dig in a little more. They hold them and the Billies punt . The Dragons received the ball and begin the drive at their own 36 yard line. After three trys they did not get a first down and on 4th down Charles Dabner took it to the 29 yard line of the Billies and made the first down. The Billies received a penalty for offsides which gave the Dragons a 1st down at the 19 yard line. On 4th and 12 the Billies got called for pass interference which brought the Dragons to the 10 yard line and a 4th and 2. Rieves next pass was intercepted by the Billies and returned to the 42 yard line. The Dragon Defense held the Billies to 2 yards on 3 plays so they punt to the Dragons. The Dragons begin this drive at their own 13 yard line. Rieves keeps the ball on 2nd down and takes it to the 46 yard line. They keep their focus and get to the 36 yard line
and a first down. Then a 10 yard penalty makes it 1st and 20. Another 5 yard penalty and a completed pass brings up 3rd and 15. Another intercepted pass by the Billies turns over the ball at their own 36 yard line. The Billies receive a 5 yard penalty for false start. The Defense is holding touch and sack the quarterback bringing up a 3rd and 21. They complete a pass but it is short of a 1st down. The Billies punt the ball again. Dragons take over on their own 16 yard line as the quarter comes to an end. After the teams switch sides of the field they begin on the 22 yard line. Jay Davis gets tackled for a loss and they face 3rd and 10. Rieves keeps the ball and gets the 1st down. A completed pass to Tavius Fowler who gets to the 46 yard line. Bradford fights for yardage to the Billie 47 yard line. Dabner over the right side makes the 1st down. On the 43 yard line, a loss of 2 brings them back to the 41 yard line. Rieves again keeps the ball and goes up the middle to the 36 line bringing up 3rd and 3. On 4th down Rieves keeps the ball and breaks tackles and gets the first down and more. Rieves gets to the 13 yard line. A 5 yard penalty against the Billies and the Dragons start from the 8 yard line. On 2nd and 5 Bradford goes up the middle to the 6 yard line. Brings up 3rd down and 2. Dabner takes the handoff and pushes his way into the endzone. The 2 point conversion is good. Score: Dragons 16, Billies 0. This reporter is finally seeing what she has felt the Dragons were capable of the whole season. Even after the two interceptions the team kept their focus and got the job done. They weren’t rattled as they have been in games past. Again, the Defense is holding like a solid brick wall. On 2nd and 12 a facemask penalty against the Dragons allows the Billies to get the 1st down. The Billies work their way across Dragon territory down to the 1 yard line and into the end zone. The 2 point conversion pass is knocked down by Jamari Gamble.
Offensive Player of the Week
Score: Dragons 16, Billies 6. The Dragons receive the ball after the kickoff and get into Billie territory. They get down to the 1 yard line and with one second left on the clock, a time out is called. Play resumes and the Dragons push in for a touchdown and a successful two point conversion. Score: Dragons 24, Billies 6. This ends the half. As the second half begins the Dragon offense is marching down the field. They get down to the Billie 16 yard line. On 4th and 6 the Billies receive a 5 yard penalty which moves the ball to the 11 yard line and 4th and 1. Dabner gets to the 8 yard line and a 1st down. A fumble on the next play is recovered by the Billies who take over.on their own 8 yard line. The Billies begin the drive with a renewed confidence. A personal foul facemask penalty against Charles Dabner helps the Billies. They are on the 36 yard line. A pass caught by Justin Berry of the Billies brings them to the Dragon 22 yard line with a flag on the play. A false start penalty brings it back to the 27 yard line. Then McCoy Sollars sacks the quarterback, Carmichael, for another loss. A 16 yard pick brings up 3rd and 8 for the Billies. The Billies go for the 4th down and do not get it. The ball is turned over on downs. The Dragon offense takes over and the Billie defense is holding allowing very little gains by the Dragons. On 4th and 15, the Dragons have to punt. Jacob Boyd comes on to punt the ball and a bad snap and the punt is not gotten away. The Billies start on the Dragon 2 yard line. On 2nd and goal the Billies run in for a touchdown. On the 2 point conversion the pass is intercepted by Drew Boyd. Score: Dragons 24, Billies 12. The Billies kick off an onside kick which is picked up by Dayne Van Camp. The ball is taken over at the 42 yard line of the Dragons. After three unsuccessful downs they have to punt the ball. Billies take over from the 35 yard line. Af-

A fumble on the play but flags are on the field. A fight broke out on the field and the referees are discussing what happened. Personal fouls against Charles Dabner and Drew Boyd, and three Billie players Justin Berry, Garrett Geppers and Joshua Watson cause them all to be ejected. Dragons take over on their own 7 yard line. The Billie defense holds them to little progress and they face a 4th and 5. They get a false start penalty and face 4th down and 9. The punt team comes on. Dragons take a safety making it a ten point game. Score: Dragons 24, Billies 14. The Dragons kick off to the Billies. The ball goes out of bounds and a flag is on the field. The Dragons rekick and the Billies start out on the Dragon 27 yard line. After two incomplete passes the Billies complete a pass and score a touchdown. The Billies extra point is no good. Score: Dragons 24, Billies 20. Dragons take over and get to the 40 yard line. On 3rd and 5 they pick up 2 and face 4th and 3 from the 47 yard line. They go for the first down and are unsuccessful. Billies take over inside the 50 yard line. A completed pass moves the Billies to the 10 yard line. 13 seconds left to go in the ballgame and the Dragon Defense digs in. A penalty for false start against the Billies moves them back. Another false start penalty move them back even more to the 20 yard line. Dragon coverage on the receivers is solid. One second left on the clock and it is 4th down for the Billies. Again coverage by the Defense is solid and the pass is incomplete and the Dragons end the season on a high note. Final score: Dragons 24, Billies 20.

32nd Annual Special Needs Fish Fry By Dawn Teer
Volunteer cooks Edward Dennis, Bill Weinrich, Jonathan Kennedy, and David Kennedy
Kids dancing to the band
November 6 at the Arkansas County fairgrounds the 32nd Annual Special Needs Fish Fry was held. Special needs students and adults were brought together for dancing and fellowship and served a meal. Sponsored by the St. Paul Lutheran Church of Gillett, St. Luke’s Lutheran Church of DeWitt, the communities of DeWitt and Gillett, and many volunteers from all over Arkansas, from Cabot, Gillett, Watson, Backgate, Dumas, DeWitt, Booneville, and Tillar. Over 425 special needs students, along with teachers and caregivers were served. The students came from Monticello, McGee, the Jenkins Center in Pine Bluff, the Jody Partridge Center in Dumas, the Job Center in Stuttgart,
DeWitt High School and DeWitt Middle School. The guests were entertained by the band known as the Red Rooster and the Wagon Wheels. The band only performs a few times a year for events such as this, consisted of Steven Stillwell, Larry Weathers, Robby Reid, Jimmy Black, R.J. Greenwood, Gerald Persons, and Eddie Griffie. Many of the band members had not performed together in several years, some as much as 13 years ago. The guests danced to the band for well over an hour. The students really enjoyed themselves listening to the band and dancing. Edward Dennis and wife, Norma, of Watson, were here for the first time and said, “We wanted to help because we
have a grandson who is 10 years old, that lives in California and has autism.” Jay Bednar, a student who works at the Grand Prairie Job Center in Stuttgart, said, “It was a lot of fun. I really liked dancing.” The cooks who volunteered their time were: Jonathan Kennedy, Haley Cooper Kennedy, Bill and Alberta Weinrich, Carroll Kennedy, David Kennedy, Garland Branham, and David Weinrich. Other volunteers who helped set up, serve, clean up, and anything else that was needed were: Marian and Leland Fuhrman, Mayor Jared and Joli Holzhauer, Edward and Norma Dennis, R. J. and Norma Greenwood, Johnny and Margie Holzhauer, Dawn Teer, Pastor
Chad and, Joni Phillip, Don Hubsch, Jane Hubsch, Nancy Greenwood, Steve Stillwell, Johnny Mommsen, Perry Pfaffenberger, Mary Kemp, Jody Holzhauer, and Gertrude Rogers. ts. In addition to the Fish, French Fries, hushpuppies, and dessert, each student received a snack with an apple and an orange to take home. Thrivent Financial for Lutherans donated the fish, apples and oranges, Gillett Gas and Goods supplied the french fries, Eddie Phillips of Tillar supplied the hushpuppies and meal, and Kathy and James Kendrick (Kathy’s Oasis in Gillett) also donated all the soft drinks and water for the students.

PCCUA Student of the Month Jinny Bivens has been named the Student of the Month for the Business Management Program at PCCUA, DeWitt Campus. She is married and has 4-year old twins, and she is also the General Manager at Sonic in DeWitt. She chose PCCUA, DeWitt because it is close to home and
that makes it easier to work around her crazy schedule of work and home. All of her instructors have been very helpful. Her biggest challenge has been making time between being a mom and working a (very) full time job and going to school.
