Bath Farmers’ Market opens for 5th season

By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

The Bath Farmers’ Market opened for the fifth season last Friday under sunny skies and a warm breeze with new and seasoned vendors offering goods to market goers.

The Bath Farmers’ Market is one of the few in the Valley that offers a relaxing park setting complete with a grill and picnic benches.

For the opening of this monumental season, the Northampton County 4-H came out with some of their prize-winning farm animals including alpacas, chickens, goats, a rabbit and sheep ready for sheering. The organization demonstrated how to sheer a sheep in the grassy park. George Biaer was on hand playing guitar and singing for the opening of the market.

A Natural Alternative Soaps, just one of the vendors at the market, offers handcrafted soaps and toiletries inspired by nature and free of preservatives. They returned this year with new products including handmade local soap dishes and unique handcrafted soaps. In addition to A Natural Alternative, nearly a dozen vendors will be on hand each Friday with their local produce and locally produced items including; Terra Fauna Farm, Twin Maple Farms, Graver Farmstead, Covered Bridge Farm, Scholl’s Orchard, Hereford Country Store, Leigh’s Jams, Jellies, and Goodies, The Pie Shop of Nazareth, The Popcorn Pit, Point Phillips Perennials and Daily Grind. The Market promises shoppers locally produced items beneContinued on page 9

Four students who participated in the Northampton Area Public Library “Library of the Future” contest received awards for their winning ideas on Monday. The presentations were made

by NAPL Director Melissa Hawk at a meeting of the Northampton Area School Board.

In addition, six teachers who are retiring were present. Recognized by Mrs. Jeanette Gilliland were Maureen S. Sproul, Adelaide Heist, Tim Caffrey, Emily Moon, Jane Hoh, and Susan Toulan.

The students and teachers were publicly thanked for their efforts and shook hands with each of the school directors. NASD Supt. Joseph Kovalchik said the teachers represent 195 years of service and do other extra things as well for the school district.

Winners of the library contest were William King, 1st place on the elementary level, for his ideas about 10,000 books on demand from a computer and also robots, and Madelyn Gilmore, 2nd place. Both are students at George Wolf Elem. School in Bath. King is in 4th grade and Gilmore is in 6th grade. Lukas Zweifel, from Northampton, 1st place on the middle school level and Alexandra Horvath, of Cherryville, 2nd

place for her project idea.

Both made Power Point presentations.

Judges for the contest were Elizabeth Schisler, Beth Krempa and Irene Urban.

Mrs. Hawk said the youths are looking for more programs for older teens, the library has iPads, and they are looking into having refreshments. She said, “It’s the same library, but we’re bringing new technology,” as she thanked Friends of the Northampton Area Public Library for their support.

Kovalchik noted test days,

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip It was nice to see all the participants in last week’s paper who were in the 5K race/walk that the Bath Business & Community Partnership sponsored. They all had lots of smiles, so it showed they had a great time. . . .The farmers market, also a BBCP product, had their opening down at the park along Green & Race Streets on Friday.

Looks like they’ll have plenty to offer again this spring and summer. . . .No mention of the solar systems at two local schools on Monday night’s school board meeting, so I reckon they’ll be glad to get the savings on electricity for 20 years once it happens that solar panels are installed. . . .

Hats off to Tim Herd for winning an award from the Pennsylvania Outdoor Writers for his new book on tapping silver maple trees for syrup. . . .

There was an interesting article in the paper on honey, too.

Herb Silfies would appreciate that, finding out that honey has its benefits. . . . Tuesday was primary election day, and there were lots of races for school director, county executive, county council, judge, mayors, town council people and township supervisors.

Hopefully, there was a good turn-out of voters. . . .Looking over the sports page, I see that the Northampton County Junior Conservation School is signing up kids 14-17 years old to be students this July 14 to 21. They’ve been putting on an excellent program over the years, I’m told, so Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, sign ‘em up!! . . . . Kreidersville Covered Bridge folks are looking forward to another big family celebration come Saturday, June 1st that includes

educating people about watersheds, plus vendors with food and other good things.

It starts at 11:00 o’clock in the morning and lasts until 4:00 in the afternoon. They have a real nice park there in Allen Township. . . . I see signs are up for the Great Nazareth Carnival that will be held in mid-June. . . . Work continues on the renovations at the Town & Country. Haven’t heard yet when they’ll be reopening. . . . State Police and Hanover Township (Lehigh County) Target store had a free car seat check event on Tuesday in honor of Click It or Ticket and to help save kiddies’ lives. . . . Didya see all the pictures on TV about the destruction caused by the Midwest tornados? Nature is good, but also powerful. . . .

There will be a lot of Memorial Day programs this weekend. Try to attend as many as you can. Those who have served in the Armed Forces deserve to be honored.. . . .

Gotta do some hoeing in my garden. Have a nice week.

Grow Ur Biz “Shark Weak”

By CAROL RITTER

If you own a business, I insist you watch Shark Tank on Friday night at 8 p.m. This amazing show hosts the worlds most famous investors. Barbara Corcoran, a real-estate mogul, Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Robert Herjavec, founder of 125 million dollar technology company, Daymon John, creator of global fashion brand FUBU, Lori Greiner, the Queen of QVC, and the villain Kevin O’Leary, chairman of O’Leary Funds.

The purpose of the show is to help struggling entrepreneurs with money, connections and mentorship. Each week a number of wannabe’s show up for their once in a lifetime opportunity to “GROW UR BIZ.” The wanna-be’s walk, run, jump into the ‘tank’ and present their pizzazz. The SHARKS begin the drill, how many have you sold, what is your market, how much does it cost you to make, is there a patent pending and how much money of your own have you invested. Their answers have everything to do with whether or not they will get a deal.

How about you? Are you SHARK STRONG or SHARK WEAK? Can you answer the questions above and would these SHARKS be interested in your biz? What’s your pizzazz, your WOW factor?

As a small business owner recently said to me, “business is so slow.” I offered suggestions, he had little response.

Summer is approaching, the SHARKS are ready to attack, if your biz is SHARK WEAK you may want to consider a jump into the SHARK TANK Take more time to network, get out of the office Hold events at your biz -

bring people in Hold customer appreciation days - give something away Promote your pizzaz, up your marketing 50% Join a “Mastermind Group” for idea sharing and problem solving BTW, Lori Greiner, QVC, recently paid $150,000 for 65% stake in ReadeRest, a magnetic reading-glasses holder.

The end of the story is 3.5 million in sales on QVC and climbing.

This wanna-be entrepreneur is now SHARK STRONG, how about you?

Comment On Sports

By Pete Fritchie

FOOTBALL✷ ✷ ✷

As spring football practice games come to an end one has been impressed with the popularity of so many games-not conference games, only practice games.

While we were seeing Major League baseball games-not practice games--being played before stadiums perhaps a tenth full we were seeing practice football games

played before packed stadiums.That raises the question whether professional football should schedule a greater number of games per season.

To do that, attention would need to be given to the large number of serious injuries-some attention is already being devoted to this.

Instead of the regular season lasting from September to the end of the year would fans (and owners) like the regular season to last through January? There’s no baseball until April, and this would leave enough time for the playoffs and Superbowl. It would bring in even more money, some of which could be used to treat injuries over long periods.

Trophies presented at 59th annual Suburban Dart league banquet

Team and individual trophies were presented this past Wednesday, May 15 at the 59th annual awards banquet of the Suburban Inter-Church Dart Baseball League. It was held at Dryland United Church of Christ in Newburg, Lower Nazareth Township.

Receiving the 2012-13 championship trophy was St. Paul’s UCC of Northampton.

The John F. Harron trophy was accepted by manager Kevin Gross.

Ebenezer Bible Fellowship Church in Bethlehem took second place, and The Home News trophy was presented by editor Bill Halbfoerster, Jr. to manager Carl R. Fraley.

Dryland-Trinity Lutheran Church, Hecktown, came in third and the Walt Hoffert, Sr. memorial trophy was accepted by manager Rich Durn.

Salem U.C.C. Church in Moorestown finished the season in fourth place and Larry Bush received the RMK Entertainment trophy in behalf of manager Rodney Remaley.

The Chad Wagner Memorial trophy went to fifth place

St. John’s Lutheran Church of Bath and it was accepted

by Doug Moser in behalf of manager Lee Creyer.

St. Stephen’s Lutheran of Bethlehem came in sixth and the Doggie Depot trophy was accepted by manager Greg Buczynski.

Individual Honors Trophies also were awarded to these individuals who excelled: Harold Wambold of Trinity Lutheran, Bangor, 35 bunts; Ron Wagner and Dan DalCin, both of Christ UCC, Bath, tied with 42 singles; Rich Kern of St. Paul’s UCC, Northampton, 134 doubles, 134 hits, 75 RBI’s; Joe Hunsicker of Christ UCC, 34 triples; Leroy Wilcox of Ebenezer, Bethlehem, 14 home runs; Kyle Taylor of Salem Lutheran, Bethlehem, .410 batting average.

Other Awards The All-Star trophy was won this year by Suburban over the Bethlehem City League. St. Paul’s beat Fritz Wesleyan of Bethlehem in the Lehigh Valley Championship series, 4 games to 1. The Don Miller Memorial plaque went

Wunderler’s Market Vintner’s Wine Kits

to Jason Gross of St. Paul’s.

The Walter ”Whitey” Weaver Memorial plaque was given to Rich Kern of St. Paul’s for the most hits.

A special plaque was awarded by Bill Hoke, Jr. to Wilbur Hoffert from Salem Lutheran, who has played for 58 years. The Elmer Barron Sportsmanship Award went to Ed Wychock of St. Stephen’s in Bethlehem.

Gary Buczynski served as master of ceremonies for the program. Maybel Smith gave the dinner invocation and pronounced the benediction.

(NOTE: Although a photo was taken of the top six team trophy winners, it was lost due to a camera card error. Congratualtions to the winners!)

Springtime Alert: Do Not Disturb Young Wildlife

The leaves are green, the flowers are in bloom and, once again, it’s that time of year when a new generation of wildlife is making its arrival.

And it’s almost a certainty that Pennsylvanians will encounter young wildlife, whether it be in their backyards or high on a mountain.

“Being outdoors in the spring is an enjoyable way to spend time and learn more about nature,” said Calvin W. DuBrock, who directs the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Bureau of Wildlife Management. “Whether enjoying your backyard or hiking in the woods, it is time for our annual message for Pennsylvanians to leave wildlife alone and in the wild, especially young of the year.”

DuBrock said that in the coming days and weeks, Pennsylvanians could find young deer, rabbits, birds, raccoons or other wildlife, some of which might appear to be abandoned.

“Rest assured that in most cases, the young animal is not an orphan or abandoned and the best thing you can do is to leave it alone,” DuBrock advised.

DuBrock noted adult animals often leave their young while the adults forage for food. Also, wildlife often relies on a natural defensive

www.HomeNewsPA.com sess wildlife from the wild.

Under state law, the penalty for such a violation is a fine of up to $1,500 per animal.

“Under no circumstances will anyone who illegally takes wildlife into captivity be allowed to keep that animal,” Palmer said. “While residents love to view wildlife and are very compassionate, they must enjoy wildlife from a distance and allow nature to run its course.”

Palmer also pointed out that, under a working agreement with state health officials, any “high risk” rabies vector species confiscated after human contact must be euthanized and tested; it cannot be returned to the wild.

Though any mammal may carry rabies, species identified in the agreement are: skunks, raccoons, foxes, bats, coyotes and groundhogs.

“Except for some species of bats, populations of all other rabies vector species are thriving,” Palmer said.

“Therefore, to protect public health and safety, it only makes sense to put down an animal for testing, rather than risk relocating a potentially rabid animal, and to answer the question of whether any people were exposed to the rabies virus.”

DuBrock said it is always wise to avoid wild animals and even unfamiliar domestic pets because of the potential rabies risk.

“Animals infected with rabies may not show obvious symptoms, but still may be able to transmit the disease,” DuBrock said.

People can get rabies from the saliva of a rabid animal if they are bitten or scratched, or if the saliva gets into the person’s eyes, mouth or a fresh wound. The last human rabies fatality in Pennsylvania was a 12‑year‑old Lycoming County boy who died in 1984.

Wildlife rehabilitators, who are licensed by the Game Commission, are the only ones who are permitted to care for injured or orphaned wildlife for the purposes of eventual release back into the wild. For those who find wildlife that truly is in need of assistance, a listing of licensed wildlife rehabilitators can be found on the Pennsylvania Association of Wildlife Rehabilitators website (www.pawr.com).

If you are unable to identify a wildlife rehabilitator in your area, contact the Game Commission region office that serves the county in which the animal is found so that you can be referred to the appropriate licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

tactic called the “hider strategy,” where young animals will remain motionless and “hide” in surrounding cover while adults draw the attention of potential predators or other intruders away from their young.

“While it may appear as if the adults are abandoning their young, in reality, this is just the animal using its natural instincts to protect its young,” DuBrock said. “Also, young animals often have camouflaging color patterns to avoid being detected by predators.

“Wild animals are not meant to be pets, and we must all resist our well-meaning and well-intentioned urge to want to care for wildlife. Taking wildlife from its natural settings and into your home may expose or transmit wildlife diseases to people or domestic animals. Wildlife also may carry parasites – such as fleas, ticks or lice – that you wouldn’t want infesting you, your family, your home or your pets.”

DuBrock noted that, each year, people ignore this advice by taking wildlife into their homes and then are urged to undergo treatment for possible exposure to various wildlife-borne diseases, such as rabies.

In addition to protecting public health, Game Commission Bureau of Wildlife Protection Director Rich Palmer said that the agency also is concerned with wildlife implications from humans handling wildlife.

“Habituating wildlife to humans is a serious concern, because if wildlife loses its natural fear of humans it can pose a public safety risk,” Palmer said. “For example, a few years ago, a yearling, six-point buck attacked and severely injured two people.

Our investigation revealed that a neighboring family had illegally taken the deer into their home and fed it as a fawn. This family continued to feed the deer right up until the time of the attack.

“This particular incident was the subject of numerous news stories around the state, and serves as a fitting example of the possible consequences that can stem from feeding or simply getting too close to wildlife.”

In addition, Palmer noted that it is illegal to take or pos-

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Council takes driveway Plan under advisement

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Although turned down earlier by the Northampton Zoning Hearing Board for an office to be located at 550 Howertown Road, Wayne Krapf of 2279 Yost Rd., Bath, appealed to Northampton Borough Council on Thursday for permission to have a turn-around driveway at the same location for residents there.

Council President John Yurish, after some discussion

by Council, said the issue will be taken under advisement and put it on the agenda for the June 6 meeting.

The problem? Howertown Road had been re-paved recently, and the borough doesn’t want it cut up, Boro Manager Gene Zarayko noted that this has happened in the past with UGI and newly paved Main Street.

Krapf said he would move the curb back, cut the blacktop and re-do the paving at his expense. Councilman Robert McHale said he should have consulted Public Works earlier because of all the money spent on the road re-paving.

Krapf said the turn-around driveway would be easier than backing vehicles out on the heavily traveled road.

Other Matters • Dave Ingram of 2156 Lincoln Ave. asked for permission to block off an alley near B.V.M. Church for a gradua-

tion party on June 9 from 3 to 9 p.m. It was approved.

• Donna Persing of Newport Ave. said an event is planned for July 13 and she was worried about dogs leaving behind excrement. Signs are being posted by the borough about dogs and no alcohol, open fires or grilles.

In addition, police patrol the park area.

• Richard Norman of Catasauqua asked for permission for a benefit motorcycle event that could take more than 300 motorcyclists over a route that starts at Tri-Boro Sportsmen, up Laubach Ave. and on Rt. 329 to Howertown Rd. Funds would be raised to help pay for the medical bills for one-year-old Mike Csencsits. Norman said this is the fourth year for such a family-oriented ride. Permission was given.

• The Quota Club was also okayed to have their annual yard sale on June 8 at Canal St. Park. The rain date is June 9.

Committee Reports Councilman Robert Coleman reported for administration and finance that the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce will feature Northampton Day at the IronPigs ball game on June 26. . . .The Chamber is scheduled to tour the Lafarge Cement plant today (May 23). . . .The Coplay/Northampton bridge reconstruction is scheduled to start in October

Public gives Architect their Ideas for new pool About 25 residents came to Nazareth Borough’s municipal Building this past week to offer some ideas on what they’d like to see when a new swimming pool is constructed in the next couple of years.

Wallover Architects, a firm from the Lancaster area that specializes in engineering and designs for swimming pools, has been hired by Nazareth Borough to do just that.

Ted and Susan Wallover gave the presentation, and listened as local residents listed some of the things they hope will be incorporated in the structure when a new pool will replace the 75-yearold pool that has been shut down because of cracks in the concrete, and a filtration system that no longer could be used, along with a bathhouse which also has problems.

Wallover first came to Council’s workshop meeting on May 3 and showed a large number of slides depicting how the WPA-built pool has outlived its usefulness, as well as not meeting today’s standardized codes for persons with disabilities. He also said the present pool is twice the size it should be for a town the size of Nazareth.

It’s estimated that a new pool and bathhouse will cost in the neighborhood of $5-million.

In this latest presentation the Wallovers asked for public input on the size of the pool, and what they believe would be most appropriate for young people to enjoy during the summertime.

Among ideas was a climbing wall, floatables, water cannons, and water slides, something like Wildwater Kingdom, and restoration of diving boards. A few residents even think the design should include some of Naz-

areth’s history, noting the significance of Martin Guitar in the borough.

A new filtration system is in storage, awaiting the new pool, since it was not possible to use with the old pipes.

There won’t be a pool for 2013 or 2014, most likely not until 2015, but in the meantime, meetings will be held to come up with designs that will make most residents happy and create good attendance during the summer months.

Mayor Reenock, Gene Zarayko Receive Golden Deed awards

Mayor Tom Reenock and Borough Manager Gene Zarayko were the 59th and 60th recipients of the Northampton Exchange Club Golden Deeds Award on May 15.

Both men have led exemplary lives, not only in and for the community of Northampton but also in helping others.

Joan Marinkovits recommended Mayor Reenock for the honor. She spoke highly of his willingness to help others without regard for recognition. Here is what she had to say: TOM REENOCK “I know every year you nominate someone for the Golden Deeds Award. My understanding is it is for someone who goes above and beyond what the average citizen would do. Thomas Reenock is one of those people.

He has been a godsend to my husband Walt and myself. Walt is now at Whitehall Manor. As you know, he has Parkinsonism and it has taken a toll on his body.

Walt’s buddy is Larry Miller who was a member of the Exchange at one time. Larry is legally blind. Tom has taken Larry to visit Walt to Whitehall Manor to visit my husband and brought him to our home as well when Walt was at home. These visits meant a lot to Walt and me. Larry Miller would have

been lost without Tom. . Tom has taken Larry to Wills Eye in Philadelphia and Doctors in the Poconos looking for any avenue to save his sight.

Recently Tom got a phone call from Larry’s sister who lives in New York. She was very concerned she could not reach Larry. Tom went to his house and found Larry on the floor. He had a stroke.

Al Recker, writer for the Northampton Press and member of the Exchange Club, has Tom to thank for his life as it is today. Al was having health problems and didn’t want to go to the doctor. Tom went ahead and made him an appointment and took him to the doctor.. He then took him to the hospital and got there just in time. Al was having a stroke. He got the medicine he needed and it thwarted off the stroke.

I know he has helped other people, but he doesn’t talk about it, he just does it. He was also involved with the Veterans Memorial through the planning stages down to the actual physical work. I am pretty sure the electrical work he did he did for free and he was doing this with two bad knees.

If anyone deserves the Golden Deed Award in 2013 it is Thomas Reenock. The things he does are not required of him as Mayor, they

come straight from the heart.”

GENE ZARAYKO LeRoy Brobst recommended Mr. Zarayko for the Golden Deed award, noting his love for the Borough of Northampton and his attention to detail that help make the Borough the great place is it. Here is what he had to say: “Gene Zarayko was hired as the Borough Manger of Northampton March 21, 1986. During that time he has brought the innovative style of his leadership to the forefront and the Borough has prospered and grown to be one of the lading communities in the Lehigh Valley.

His accomplishments have been made possible by a dynamic and progressive group of individuals who serve on Borough Council, but many of the idea and concepts that make him unique have come from a deep desire to see the Borough as an icon of local government. He is a very humble man and he is quick to praise others and share plaudits with them. No one would ever consider him to be self-serving.

During his tenure the Borough completely updated and modernized the wastewater treatment plant in 1991, began and completed construction of a new Public Works garage, a new Central Fire Station and a new Borough complex

and remodeled Police Station, including the acclaimed Atlas Cement Company Memorial Museum and Northampton Recreation Centre.

These, however, are not the things that make him remarkable. His love for the Borough of Northampton is a driving force. To call him a workaholic is not enough, for his door is always open, ready to listen to any and all. His workday does not end at 4:30 when the office closes. He travels the Borough in the evening, noting burned out streetlights, pot holes, poor conditions of parks, traffic patterns…. The list has no end. No detail is too small to be overlooked and he does not let his position as a leader keep him from remembering that he is also a servant.

Each of his predecessors has good and book qualities, but none had the tireless dedication that borders on an obsession with progress. As an example, the Public Works Department toyed with the idea of off-season street decorations.

Many managers would have scoffed at the concept as time consuming waste.

But Gene supported the project and now, Northampton is widely known as the town that is “well lit.” No leader is worth much if he turns a deaf ear to people who would offer input. Gene has been willing

to allow fresh thinking and it has come back to honor him and the people who are proud to work with him. His desire to succeed is contagious and the result is progress.

While he has worked to keep taxes in check, he has found it necessary on very few occasions, to ask Council for a tax increase. He constantly monitors expenses, not just the large expenditures, but all disbursements. When he first began one of his initial “savings” was by buying cheaper toilet paper. My first reaction was “BIG DEAL!” but I have since bought into this line of thinking. He recognized the responsibility of protecting the funds that are available and the results speak for themselves.

I do not lavish praise unless it is warranted. Gene allowed me the opportunity to move from the Public Works Department into the office and I will always be grateful. It has offered me a chance to expand my life and I try to mirror his example. I consider myself blessed by association and applaud his consideration as a recipient of the Golden Dees award.”

Brobst and Ed Pany were speakers at the banquet. The awards were presented by Exchange President Kim Belletti and Rep. Julie Harhart presented each with a citation from the Pa. House of Representatives.

Cool Summer Workout Tips From TOPS

Early summer weather can provide the ultimate motivation to get outside and be active. The sun is shining, nature is in full blossom, and coats and earmuffs are no longer essential. Summer can give people a certain zest for fitness, but sometimes temperatures can turn good intentions into a sweltering mess. Incorporating new habits and precautions into your warm weather workouts can keep you safe, motivated, and cool. TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, offers the following tips to make the most of your summer fitness plans: 1. Fill up on fruit Water-heavy fruits - like watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and grapes - are a great way to boost energy and replenish fluids lost after a workout. Containing more than 80 percent water, these fruits are easily digestible in the summer heat and are a tasty way to keep hydrated and satisfied. Eating them frozen also makes a refreshing summer treat.

2. Reroute for optimal shade If your usual running, walking, or cycling route makes you an easy target for sun exposure, opt for a shadier course. Road Runners Club of America features running routes around the country on their website,www.rrca.org.

Weather.com also offers local parks’ forecasts and a fitness comfort index by the hour ideal for determining the best time of day to exercise.

3. Take the path less paved Walking, running, or cycling on dirt or gravel paths can keep the body significantly cooler than paved paths. Asphalt and concrete tend to radiate heat and reflect the sun’s rays, making you feel hotter. Running near bodies of water also has a noticeable cooling effect.

News Sermonette Pastor Larry E. Pickar, Sr. Egypt Community Church, Whitehall

When Life Isn’t Fair Psalm 73:1-28

Many times, we as humans lose our perspective of reality and say to ourselves: Life isn’t fair. We look around and see many nonbelievers seem to experience more blessings than we do. In Psalm 73 we can see God’s playbook on what to do when we feel this way. This Psalm was written by a man named Asaph, who served as the worship leader in the temple and was the author of 12 different Psalms.

Yet he was ready to walk away from God because his perception was all mixed up and he felt like life wasn’t fair. He wraps up his theological conclusion in Vs. 1, “Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.” This is a premise he is stating for believers that no matter what happens God is good. If this is true shouldn’t we at least have more blessings than those who don’t care about God? To understand this we need to take a look at two perspectives.

First Is the Human Perspective. We see that in the first half of the Psalm Asaph is bothered by what he had been taught in Scripture because what he had experienced in life was radically different. He came close to losing his confidence in God’s goodness because of four things that he saw around him. In Vs. 1-16 he sees the prosperity of the wicked, the peace of the wicked, the pride of the wicked, and the self-pity of the righteous. Read these verses and you will see that Asaph was jealous of the wicked and wondered why would the wicked have everything that was promised only to God’s covenant people?

He tells us that the wicked are the very people who are many times the most prosperous and are the most arrogant because they think so highly of themselves. Their pride makes them look down on God and His people.

So, sometimes we wonder if it’s worth it to follow Christ.

Why should we live for Christ when others are doing alright without Him? He goes on to the end of Vs. 16 talking about how he may be wasting his life and has doubts that he keeps to himself.

Second Is The Heavenly Perspective. As we come to Vs. 17 we see a noticeable shift in Asaph’s paradigm as he goes through a reality check. This verse is the hinge point of the Psalm and says, “Till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood the whole picture.” It’s when we go into the presence of God that we can get the right perspective.

If we don’t gaze to God, we will default to our human perspective and end up becoming jealous and bitter. It’s only in the sanctuary of God that Asaph could understand the predicament of the wicked and the sweetness of God’s grace and mercy in his own life.

From Vs. 18 to the end of the Psalm we look at life through the eyes of eternity and will see four things. The ruin of the wicked, repentance of the righteous, the rewards of the righteous, and the responsibility of believers. When the judgment of God comes unbelievers will be wiped out. My friend’s judgment is real and we shouldn’t try to sugar coat the awful truth of eternal punishment. It’s when Asaph confesses that he was bitter, senseless, and ignorant that he immediately knows that God was always holding him up. The question we have to ask is: are we satisfied with God? He concludes the Psalm by fulfilling two key responsibilities that every believer should fulfill in Vs. 28, “But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge…” Stay near to God and tell others about God. My friends, once we see the destruction of the wicked we too will no longer be able to crave in but will speak out. Think of people that you know in your family, where you work, neighbors, and friends that don’t know Jesus. Are you attracted to their lifestyle? Want their toys?

Ask yourself this: Where will they be when the finality of God’s judgment lands on them with a thud? These are the ones we need to rescue.

Yes, life isn’t fair sometimes, but when our perspective is heavenly we won’t be able to be quiet. People need to know about Jesus……about the Good News…that Jesus died in our place, as our substitute on the Cross, so that we don’t have to pay the price for our sins by spending eternity in hell. So…don’t bail on God. Draw near to Him and allow Him to reframe your reality.

Know The Weather

Can you expect to be hearing thunder and lightning soon? Why do we seldom have thunderheads and thunderstorms in the winter? You will soon be hearing the familiar thunder and lightning of spring, if you have not already heard the first rumbles of thunder in the deep south.

The longer days of sunlight and greater heating result from the position of the earth. In the coming months this causes hot air to rise from thunderheads. The greater heat and greater volume of rising, warmed air causes higher clouds.

Thunder results from the transfer of electrical overcharges as the natural balance is restored by lightning strikes. Thunder is the roar created by these electrical discharges just as a big gun causes its own miniature thunder at the instance of firing.
