Two teenagers and a dog

Howe resident Lynn Sasser wanted to commend two teenage boys who, in the Calder Street area, took in a white dog that had been following them Sasser stopped the young men and asked them why the dog wasn't in the back of their truck instead following behind They responded that they dog had been following them for two days She armed the young men with five dollars and told them to buy the dog some food

"People think teenagers are bad kids, but I'll take those boys over anyone " said Sasser "They were so nice and polite and I wish I knew who their mother was "

The news these days is so negative

Well, at least outside of our little bubble

Faith by Debbie Wallis

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in Heaven will enter,” Matthew 7:21

In Romans 10:9, Paul said that those who confess Jesus as Lord are saved but Jesus said that not everyone who calls Him Lord will enter His Kingdom One of Satan’s most devastating lies is the ones that convince people they are Christians when in fact they are not following Christ Many people say they are a Christian and don’t even know what Christ has said The heart of man is evidenced by what they do, not by what they say A person’s actions show evidence of what they truly believe A Christian’s actions should reflect the life and teachings of Christ First thing about a Christian should be the evidence of overwhelming love and gratefulness to Jesus for His sacrifice on the cross If you believe He died for your sins then you will agree with what He says is true on how to live I am never surprised by the actions of the unsaved but in the last oh, 20 years I’ve been more and more surprised by the church, the people that confess to be Christians, do and say they believe “You will recognize them by their fruits Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire Thus you will recognize them by their fruits,” Matthew 7:16-20 Our culture has turned “good works” into tolerance and accepting all sins Jesus always called out the sin because of how much He loved the people He is God and He knows that sin produces separation from Him and eternal death We need to love people in that Christ-like manner! Its unChrist like to agree with sin or to promote sin by aligning yourself with the world It is an oxymoron to be a Pro-Choice Christian That is against the nature and word of God It is an oxymoron to be a part of the break down of marriage and families That is against the nature and word of God The only way you can ever produce good fruit is to know God’s word, believe it is Him, and obey His word If you haven’t made Him Lord, you simply do not believe He is the all knowing, all present, all powerful God There are lots of gods that people have concocted but only one Who will remain on the throne at judgment God the Father said Jesus the Son is the ONLY way to Him and everlasting life It’s a choice to believe or disbelieve, to say you believe and not have a desire to know and do what He says is a contradiction “Jesus replied, ‘All who love Me will do what I say My Father will love them, and We will come and make Our home with each of them Anyone who doesn’t love Me will not obey Me And remember, My words are not My own What I am telling you is from the Father who sent Me,” John 14:23-24

Many people think because they are a Christian because of the family they are born into Many think because they are kind, give to the poor and leave others to their own business that that makes them a Christian Others think if they are a good person and go to church they are a Christian Many made a decision to follow Christ but went their own way They thought the decision itself made them a Christian But what makes you a Christian is that you follow Jesus, not with one decision, but with your daily decisions You follow His Word because you love Christ who saved you from this wicked world Before you decide if it is or is not right you check with the One you follow You live according to Jesus not according to actors, sports figures, musicians, politicians, polls or media Your decisions will never be in or out of touch with today because Jesus remains the same yesterday, today and tomorrow This sinful world is temporary to a Christian so allegiance with it is not a consideration A Christian a follower of Christ, will not deny His deity, His Lordship or question the absolute Truth of His Word “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?” Luke 6:46

The Bible is complete and gives us wisdom for life He created all people and loves all people “Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, because He wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost,” 2 Peter 3:8-9 Faith in Jesus, believing He is Who He says He is, and staying in His word is a Christians survival guide If you don’t have a Bible please contact me at sfadebbie@yahoo com You are blessed to be a blessing

Michael Hill

Recognizing that law enforcement recruiting is down nation wide, Hill said that if these kids get to see that appreciation for first responders it helps to understand their job firsthand instead of from the news media outlets that report a lot of bad police behavior

Howe Fire Chief Robert Maniet spoke about the same subject, "I think if these kids see the rewards instead of all the negativity, it'll help people want to give more back and encourange them to want to be first responders "

"It's long overdue to get the recognition they deserve and this was our little bit to say thank you "

Principal Clay Wilson We just felt this is something we needed to do "

First Responsders that were in attendance were:

Law Enforcement Officers

Michael Hill, Robert McCrom, Dusty Wainscott, Adam Bradshaw, Bruce Dawsey, Tonia Walker, Sarah Beghan, Kathy Aaron, Ricky Wheeler, Tony Bennie, Tom Watt, David Morris, Brandon Ozuna, Carl Hudman, and David Taylor EMTs present were Charlie Skaggs, Mary Jones, Robert Maniet, Ted Barker, Steven Cartinas, Scotty Harris, Dalton Harris and Marty Huff Howe ISD School Nurse Deb Smith was also recognized

The Alamo Pottery of San Antonio, Texas was in business from 1944 until 1951 Initially they were structured to produce sanitary wares, however they made art pottery and kitchen wares from mid-1945 until 1946 After that they concentrated on bathroom fixtures The Universal-Rundle Corporation purchased Alamo Pottery and continued to make utilitarian pottery

The majority of Alamo pieces were marked The first mark is a black ink stamp with the words Alamo Pottery, San Antonio, with a sketch of the Alamo The second mark is a blue ink stamp with the same words and sketch The third method of marking was a silver foil label Most Alamo pieces have a form/shape number impressed or ink stamped on the bottom Those items without the inked name and just the number probably had a foil label that was removed after purchase

If you are familiar with pottery makers in Texas, you will recognize some of the names of men associated with Alamo San Antonio Studio potter Harding Black produced about a half dozen prototype forms for Alamo Carlton Rowe was the Alamo plant manager, Bruce Blunt was engineer and plant manager, and Richard Potter was the plant’s ceramic engineer The latter three men went on to form the Gilmer Pottery in Gilmer, Texas

Richard Potter estimated that during Alamo’s production heyday between 5-7,000 pieces of pottery were produced per day The line consisted of vases, pitchers, planters, urns, and salt and pepper shakers

If you find a piece that you think is Alamo with just a shape number on the bottom, the following numbering codes might help Three digit shape numbers ran in the 700, 800, and 900 series. Fiftysix different shapes have been identified so far Colors produced were blue, lemon yellow, green, white, turquoise, beige, orchid, ink, coral, and wine

Alamo is not a highly collected pottery Pieces can still be found reasonably in the $6-$25 range It can be found throughout Texas, Oklahoma, the midwestern states, and California

So if you are looking for attractive, affordable pottery, Remember the Alamo!

Dr Georgia Caraway, former director of the Denton County Museums for 14 years, and her friends opened the Howe Mercantile at 107 East Haning Store hours are Thursday through Saturday noon until 8 p m She has written five Denton history books Her latest, North Texas State Fair and Rodeo, is available at Howe Mercantile She hopes her next book will be the history of Howe
