Basketball began for the

Skelton family when an independent girls team was formed for 7-year-olds in 1988. The team, started by

Laquita Johnson and assisted

by Lou Janda, learned the basics of split-court (6-on-6) basketball.

Amber joined the team with many of her classmates and thus began a very long and successful basketball run

The Skelton sisters have been stars on the AHS basketball court for the past 20+ years. Pictured (left to right) are Lacey Wofford, Amber Skelton, Beyla Skelton holding 11-month old Tinsley Wofford, and Lorissa King.

which ended Tuesday with Beyla’s 13-points and 11 rebounds over the Bowleg Bisons.

As daughter #1 progressed from the independent league to school teams, from 5th & 6th grade thru her senior year, she was followed in succession by sisters Lacey, Lorissa and Beyla.

Amber, who graduated in 1999, wore 00 for the Lady Mustangs; after that the sisters started another tradition with all three wearing the number 12: Lacey, a 2003 graduate and member of the state tournament qualifying team her senior year, Lorissa, Class of 2008, and Beyla, who will graduate this year with the Class of 2013.

From the start of the 199596 season, there has been only one year, between Lorissa and Beyla, that there wasn’t one of the girls on the varsity team and that year Beyla was putting the Skelton mark on the Junior High team.

Congratulation to Larry and Rhonda Skelton and thanks for your contribution to the AHS Lady Mustangs. Your girls have been a joy to watch but after 25 years of basketball, you deserve a break.

Now we’re waiting for your 11-month old granddaughter, Tinsley Wofford, to carry on the family tradition.

Question: What do you call a grown son who is grateful, respectful and never asks you for money?

Answer: A myth.

—CC— Speaking of sons, one our readers sent in the following . . .

“I hadn’t realized that my five-year-old son had overheard his mother and me discussing the new baby until my dad stopped by for a visit.

“Are you excited about a baby brother or sister coming?” he asked my son.

“I guess so, Grandpa. But I think the names Daddy has picked out are kind-of weird. He said if it’s a girl he would like to name her Elizabeth, and that’s okay, I suppose. But if it’s another boy, Daddy said they were definitely going to call it Quits.”

As a father of three sons, I can sure understand the Dad’s feelings.

—CC— Looking for the secret to domestic peace and tranquility? According to researchers writing in the Journal of Social Psychology, the answer could come from freshly baked bread.

Scientists at the University of Southern Brittany in France conducted experiments designed to test the theory that the smell of freshly baked bread can alter behavior in humans. Their findings, published in an October issue of the scientific journal, reveal that the aroma of baking bread triggers a rising sense of altruism, increased happiness and other beneficial effects.

—CC— I have always enjoyed “piddling.” When my children were at home, they would often come into the garage and asked me what I was doing. Often I would answer, “Just ‘piddling’ around.”

You don’t hear that word often anymore but when I do it grabs my attention.

“The obituary made me smile. Ellis Ray of Moundville passed away Saturday...he was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, who loved to fish and piddle. He will be greatly missed.

I mean no disrespect. Quite the contrary, I smiled because Ellis, whom I never met, is my brother, bound to me not by blood but by a shared habit. We are piddlers.

Or we were. Now I am left here, an earthbound piddler, to piddle alone. What is a piddler? It is hard to explain to begin with, because piddling is neither one thing or another, but something in between. It is not rest, not something that can be done with your feet on an ottoman or as you recline in a Posturepedic. But then neither is it work, something that one toils at, sweats at, something one needs a break from, for lunch, coffee. It is certainly not something for which one should ever be paid, and absolutely not something that one does while watching a clock.

The whole idea of piddling is to kill time, but without any great effort at all, or even really meaning to. If one piddles correctly, time just goes away, without regret on the part of the piddler, or even any particular notice. One does not march off to piddle. One meanders. And even when one heads off to do it, one may not go to piddling right away, because one might have to loafer a little first.

But loafering is another story.

A piddler does not fix a leaky washing machine, or a slipping transmission, or a hole in a roof. Such work is necessary, and the more necessary a labor is, the farther from piddling it becomes. A piddler may use tools, but only small, light ones, and only on things that are not needed right then. Changing out a car battery in the dead of winter is not piddling, because it is a necessity. But tinkering with a lawn mower in the middle of February is, especially if the grass is deader than Great-Aunt Minnie’s house cat and buried under a foot of snow. Doing a load of laundry is, of course, not piddling. Organizing one’s sock drawer by color and fiber is.

Fishing is not piddling. That is why Ellis Ray’s survivors made that distinction in his obit. But sharpening hooks and respooling line is, especially if the bass boat is covered in sheet ice. Going to a baseball game is not piddling. Retying the laces on your cleats is, but only if the only way you will ever again go fast down the firstbase line is if someone shoots you out of a cannon.

Some people have to retire to piddle. Dr. David Sloan, a venerated college professor who worked across the hall from me, seemed one of the least piddling men I ever knew. But he said he fully intended to spend at least some of his retirement piddling. I am not so disciplined.

I rearrange books, sharpen knives–the ones I am certain not to use–and change knobs on dressers and cabinets, but only if the ones I am replacing were perfectly fine.

I rearrange pictures on the wall, and re-rearrange them because my wife makes me. I spackle holes left from the first rearranging, but only the holes that are hidden by the paintings and do not really have to be spackled at all. To spackle a hole in plain sight would be necessary and therefore illegal under piddling guidelines.

My wife does not piddle, and this is how I know she is from another solar system. She reads, gardens (successfully), and uses her time wisely. No one, no one born on this planet, is purely piddle free. But when I try to interest her in my own piddling she looks at me with disdain and says she does not have time to waste.

Ellis Ray of Moundville was 68 when he died.

I bet he never wasted a second.”

— Rick Bragg Southern Living Magazine —CC— Quote of the Week . . . “A senior citizen is someone who can tell you where to buy cheap jogging suits but can’t tell you what jogging is.”

Threads of Life by Cleo Emerson LeValley E uropean trip home: We took the train back to Munich, Germany and spent one day there to see the city.

The schools were in session and some students were out for activity periods. The cricket courts had been flooded to make an ice rink; the students were skating and we also saw some on skis on the school grounds.

Not exactly skiing but just walking around on the skis.

We saw deer farms and the deer were in fenced fields just like our cows and horses in pastures. They were very small deer. Oh, yes, in the restaurants, what we would consider wild game, was listed on the menus.

O n the night we were there we wanted to see more of the city so we took a taxi down town and as this was still part of the Christmas activities, we wanted to see how that one fared with the one in Vienna. First we

Back in Munich Germany

wanted to go to a restaurant to eat and since Phylece had been studying German, she asked the taxi driver, in that language, to suggest a restaurant. In perfect English, he replied for us to just take that street down about a block and we would find places to eat. We got a good laugh about that one and conversed some with him, in English, of course. After eating we strolled along the square, just to see what we could see and experience.

In Munich, we stayed in the American Guest House at the U. S. Army base. Security was very tight. The announcement had already been made that this house was to be closed in July of 1992 and it was sad to realize that all of this would be soon closed. We observed a lot of students on the base.

They were perhaps children of Army personnel. We did not inquire.

O n our flight back, we flew from Germany across the Netherlands, across the

North Sea to England and Scotland, then over Greenland and Canada and the Great Lakes to Chicago.

Greenland was very beautiful but desolate. All we saw were mountains and snow.

Northern Canada was very barren also. The mountains looked like many layers of ice. We saw some isolated villages near some of the bays and a large settlement on the tip of the Hudson Bay. We flew 4079 nautical miles and 4691 statute miles for a total flying time of 10 hours and 4 minutes on the trip home. Our highest altitude was 35,000 feet.

We were delayed leaving Chicago due to a storm over Dallas and we were kept in Chicago until there was clearance to land in Dallas.

We flew to Dallas through storm clouds, rain and lightning. We picked up our car and arrived in Healdton at 3 a.m., 30 hours after leaving Munich.

We had jet lag for about 3 days. We would sleep about 2 hours and then be awake.

We would go back to bed, regardless of the time, sleep a few more hours and then do it all over again. There is a time difference of 7 hours from Healdton to Vienna.

They were ahead of us.

A fter only 10 days in Vienna, we felt we had absorbed a lot of the culture and lifestyle of that country.

It is easy to be sympathetic to the refugees who long for their homeland, no matter what country they are in.

Europe has so much history and Old World culture that those of us who live in cities and communities which only boost a 100 year history cannot begin to fathom the enormity of what it is like in other parts of the world.

One Pharmacist’s View THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, FEBUARY 7, 2013- PAGE 5

I remember many years ago (back in the ‘50s) being in New York City. I liked to walk around the towns I visited when I was in the Navy and take pictures — and I hoped NYC was a great place to take pictures.

But when I went walking in most parts of town it wasn’t so pretty. My trip over to Washington Square Park didn’t work out well either.

The famous gateway, so often pictured in movies and travel brochures (inspired by Paris’ Arc de Triomphe) was covered in liter, broken glass and graffiti — ugly words and racial slurs. I kept looking for a picture to take and I guess I didn’t take any since I don’t have any today.

Nearby Greenwich Village was sinking fast too.

This historic part of town housed artists and such but it had degenerated into a litter-strewn slum looking a lot like Guatemala City.

Not too many weeks earlier I had made a pilgrimage to Bunker Hill. My ship often tied up in Boston and the

Mayor Koch

Bunker Hill monument was in sight. But my trip failed.

Druggies were busy, thugs were everywhere and the historic monument was also covered in gang signs and other graffiti. No pictures.

I was back up there in New York City several years later and things were no better. In fact the place had gone broke and the federal government told the city to get lost as it refused to bail it out. Then the big power outages hit in the 70s and rioters looted out neighborhood stores before burning them to the ground. There was a bad feeling about the city. In January of 1958 a buddy and I were walking through Times Square when two loud booms sounded.

Gunfire! A masked man holding a pistol crumpled, dropping his money bag and the gun. He was dead. We ducked inside a nearby store for a few minutes. Such were conditions in the heart of New York City’s Times Square.

Light from God’s Word

Mark Legg, Allen church of Christ Tabloids, cable television and the dark side of the internet have found a lucrative market in “true confessions.”

Ironically, these are often fabricated, or, when true, they usually belong to the category that the Scripture describes as “a shame even to speak of.”

(Eph. 5:12) However, there is a place for “true confessions.”

In fact, God really likes true confessions. He notes them, and celebrates them. He wants every person to make one.

The “true confession” God desires is the one that the man from Ethiopia made years ago when he said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” (Acts 8:37) God desires that “every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

(Phil 2:10-11) God not only desires that we confess with the mouth that we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, but He wants us to be truly convicted in the heart that Jesus is God’s Son. “For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Rom 10:10) To be saved, is belief in Jesus as the Christ the only thing necessary or must we confess faith in Him? If we are ashamed to confess Him before men, how can we expect Jesus to save us? He said that if anyone was ashamed of Him and His words, he would be ashamed of him when He comes again.

(Luke 9:26) When Jesus was on earth in the flesh, some rulers believed in Him, but would not confess Him because they cared more about pleasing men than God. If we today refuse to confess faith in Jesus (either by mouth or by our lives) because we love the praise of men more than praise from God, should we expect Jesus to save us?

If you believe in God and in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior, how can you want to please people who dishonor God and “badmouth” the name of Jesus?

Gerty Bingo

The Gerty Community will be hosting their monthly Bingo Night on Saturday, February 9th, weather permitting.

Door open at 6:00 pm and the concession stand will be serving soup, crackers, cornbread, drinks and desserts.

Bingo begins at 7:00. Everyone is welcome to attend.

I guess the people up there finally got fed up. They elected a guy named Ed Koch as Mayor. They felt that he couldn’t do worse than the other Mayors. Koch was detested by the leftwing NY press and minority groups fought his every step. But the new Mayor cut expenses and spent tons of time out in the subways talking with people and bucking them up. He not only got the budget fixed by cutting out the political “Lard”, he did something that really caught people’s eye. He literally cleaned the town up.

He not only reduced crime by an astounding factor he got rid of liter. He attacked Washington Square and removed actual tons of broken glass and other liter on the grounds. He scrubbed the nasty subway clean and took all the obscene gang writings and “art” off its cars.

NYC today is clean. Not as squeaky clean as some foreign cities but it looks pretty darn good these days — a place you can take a picture. Greenwich Village and

Washington Square areas are once again tourist attractions and desirable addresses as its hardworking people stay busy keeping their hometown clean. Of course, the press and liberals finally defeated the Mayor and he was kicked out. Koch passed away last week but it’ll be a long time before the people of NYC forget the mayor that got rid of liter and once more made their hometown a great place to live — and

visit. Mayor Koch was 88.

There is a lesson here.

Allen needs to get busy too.

We need to clean up our own streets, parks and yards.

Let’s see if we too can return our hometown to a place we like to call the “greatest place on earth.”

Have a good weekend and be sure and go to church this Sunday.

Lady Mustangs eager for playoff action Allen girls to battle Roff or Maud on Saturday in the district championship game

By HERMAN BROWN school basketball playoffs Coach Jeremy Strong’s Lady the same site are the Roff Lady Allen correspondent this weekend at Maud High Mustangs are the top-seeded Tigers and the hosting Maud The Allen Lady Mustangs School. team in the 3-team field. Also at Lady Tigers. will open the Class A high Roff and Maud will square off at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the opening round of the district tournament. The loser of Friday’s game is eliminated from the playoffs. Meanwhile, the winner moves on to play Allen Saturday for the district championship.

Coach Strong believes his Lady Mustangs are anxious for playoff action. That included eight underclassmen on the roster that are new to high school basketball.

“We are focused and ready to go,” he said. “I am glad that we have the bye in the first round. It certainly takes away some of the pressure an elimination game would bring. We realize that whatever happens on Saturday that we’ll have the opportunity to play in the regional tournament.”

While Allen gets a free pass’ in the district opener, that fact doesn’t lessen the desire for victory.

“We are still on edge,” Coach Strong said. “We don’t like to lose. Even with a bye, we will play hard and try to avoid that first loss for as long as possible. I think that is a healthy approach. We’ll go in there on Saturday and try to come away with a win and the district championship.”

The regional tournament Cheyenne Nickell (#32) and Beyla Skelton in action during their last home will draw together “some game of their career on Tuesday night pretty good team,” adds Coach Strong. “It is a double-elimination situation. It’s very helpful to have a loss to play with and still stay in the playoffs.”

The Area II tournament will be staged in Cashe, north of Lawton. The state tournament is set for following weekend in the Oklahoma City area.

Last week, Allen played two games and split decisions with the opponents. The 113 W Broadway 815 Arlington Lady Mustangs prevailed in a Allen, OK 74825 Ada, OK 74820 home date with Wetumka on 1-888-275-5899 (580)332-6181 Tuesday. However, AHS fell in a road game at Davis on Thursday.

On Tuesday, Allen jumped out to a 14-1 lead on the Wetumka Lady Chieftains.

The Lady Mustangs lost some of the margin in the second quarter but still owed a 24-17 edge at intermission.

After the break, AHS went back to work to extend the cushion to 41-25 at the end of the third period. The Lady Mustangs were then outscored 13-10 in the fourth quarter but still captured a 51-38 victory.

in scoring with 12 points.

Kennedy Prentice was also in double figures with 10 points.

Hannah Heck followed with 8 while Cheyenne Nickell and Alison Sells provided 7 points each. Miranda Raney tallied 5 points and Sandra Howshar finished with 2.

“It was a nice win,” Coach Strong said. “We played pretty good defense. On offense, we were getting open shots early.

We also got to the free throw line with aggressive play. What we did not do was hit our free throws. We were only 6 of 18 at the line. Kennedy Prentice went 3 for 4 on free throws, but was the only one doing much from there. This is something we need to improve in the playoffs.”

On Thursday, the Allen girls battled hard before falling 5141 to the hosting Davis Lady Wolves.

The Lady Mustangs got off to a slow start. AHS fell behind 16-6 after one quarter and 15-8 in the second period. That sent the visitors to half-time trailing Davis 31-14.

Allen went on to outscore the Lady Wolves 27-20 in the second half. The effort whittled the final deficit down to 10 points in the 51-41 loss.

Alison Sells led the Allen scoring parade with a solid 11-point scoring performance.

Three others scored 6 points each, including Charlea Leonard, Hannah Heck and Miranda Raney. Other scoring includes Alycia Evans with 5 points, Beyla Skelton with 4 and Cheyenne Nickell with 3.

“We got into some foul trouble in the first half,” said Coach Strong. “We had to sit some people and were out of sync offensively. We suffered too many turnovers in the first half. We talked about it at halftime and the girls did a much better job in the second half.

We were able to break their press, their half-court trap. We began to get some confidence in breaking the trap. After that, we didn’t think about it, we just went out and played. We came back and finished strong. I feel a lot better about that.”

Allen was scheduled to wrap up the regular-season schedule Tuesday evening. AHS staged a senior night to honor the 12th-grade players, Cheyenne Nickell and Beyla Skelton.

The Bowlegs Lady Bison were coming to town to play in the finale’ at Allen High School.

Looking to this weekend, the Allen girls will be hoping to win the district title. If the accomplish that goal, they’ll move on to the regional tournament with two losses to go before seeing their season end.

“We hope to be playing for a while,” said Coach Strong.

Mustangs shine in victory over solid Wetumka squad Allen boys battle hard but falls short Thursday in road trip against Davis Wolves

By HERMAN BROWN Allen correspondent The Allen Mustangs were involved in a pair of double-digit decisions last week. Allen took down the Wetumka Chieftains on Tuesday and then lost at Davis on Thursday.

Coach Greg Mills watched his Mustangs outlast the Wetumka Chieftains 77-64 earlier in the week. The 13-point triumph came days after the Mustangs defeated the same Wetumka squad in the semi-finals of the Tri-County Basketball Tournament in Shawnee.

“That was one of the best games we played all year,” Coach Mills said. “The kids shared the ball and passed it around. We put up some points and beat a good team and a quality coach. For fans, it was a real good game to watch. I like that style of basketball and wish we could always play that way.”

Allen trailed 19-17 after one quarter. The Mustangs then battled to a 37-33 half-time advantage. After intermission, Allen took the 4-point lead and

turned it into the 58-47 cushion heading into the final period.

The Mustangs also outscored the Chieftains 19-17 down the stretch to lock up the 77-64 victory.

Jaret Holland led the scoring explosion with a nifty 23-point showing. Cole Young was also a force with 19 points. Lane Mills added 15 points for the winning team. Zayne Erickson just missed joining the others in double-digit scoring with 9 points. Conner Johnson tacked on 7 points. Joseph Hopper and Logan Dennis rounded out the scoring with 2 points each.

On Thursday, the Mustangs suffered a 73-62 loss at the hands of the hosting Davis Wolves. Allen trailed 35-24 at halftime. That 11-point deficit would stand up as both team scored 38 points in the second half. By matching the Mustangs in scoring, the Wolves came away with the 73-62 victory.

Four Allen players finished the night with double-digit scoring performances. Lane Mills was the leader with 17

points. Logan Dennis was just off the pace with 16 points.

Cole Young and Jaret Holland followed with 10 points apiece.

Zayne Erickson chipped in 7 points while Joseph Hopper managed 2 points.

Coach Mills had gone into the game knowing exactly what his team would face.

“It was a really, really physical game,” he said. “We struggled a little early and got down by 15 in the first half. But we came back in the second half and cut their lead. We had our chances to tie or go ahead two or three times. But the ball would go in and come back out. It was just one of those nights.”

The Mustangs were a little short-handed for the trip. Conner Johnson, a key member of the Allen lineup, was out with the flu.

“We didn’t have him at Davis,” said Coach Mills. “But he is doing better and he came back to practice on Monday.

I expect he’ll be much better by the time we play on Saturday.”

The Mustangs played on Tuesday against the Bowlegs Bison. It was the final home game of the season and the school has dedicated it as Senior Night. The senior players include Matt McCarn, Conner Johnson, Jaret Holland, Lane Mills, Cole Young and Logan Dennis.

Allen High School has been assigned to the district site at Maud. The teams that will compete in that 3-team tournament will be Allen, Maud and Roff.

“We got the bye in the first round,” said Coach Mills. “We will play on Saturday against the winner of Maud or Roff.

It is a real tough district as all three of our teams have winning records. It’s going to be a dogfight. There is not a soft team in the Maud district. But I expect us to be healthy and ready to go. We want a good, strong team effort. I am hoping we can avoid those early losses and that will get us a little further in the playoffs.”

The main regional site for Allen will be at Lindsay. However, Allen will open regional play in a sub-site at Roff High School. The action would Conner Johnson a four year starter for the Mus- then switch to the main site in tangs hopes to lead the Mustangs deep into the Lindsay for later action. playoffs

The Area II tournament will be staged in Cashe, north of Lawton. The Area II winner and runner-up teams in the girls and boys divisions will move on to the state tournament the following weekend in the Oklahoma City area.

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, FEBUARY 7, 2013- PAGE 8

TransCanada pipeline coming through into the United States through North Dakota, South Dakota to Steele City, Nebraska near the Kansas border. The pipeline then turns east again to Wood River and Patoka, Illinois.

This section was completed and began operation in June of 2010. It serves a refinery in Wood River and a tank farm in Patoka.

Phase 2 expanded the pipeline from Steele City, Nebraska to the nation’s largest oil hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, and began delivering Canadian oil to Oklahoma in February of 2011. Prescott explains that nearly every barrel of oil in the mid-west goes through either Patoka or Cushing, and he compares them to airport hubs, where oil instead of flights go to connect to other pipelines that will take it to its final destination.

The construction that is underway is called Phase 3 and will eventually extend the existing line from Cushing to refineries on the Gulf coast near Houston. Prescott explains that the 485-mile pipeline project is divided into three sections.

The portion that passes through Hughes County is part of the l t d h h

by Bob Melton It is no secret in Hughes County that the TransCanada Keystone Pipeline XL is under construction. For those that do not drive past the construction site that runs just east of town and south across the county, the trucks that pass through town hauling loads of the 30-inch pipe are a regular reminder.

Although Holdenville was the original choice for the pipe yard that serves this operation, an environmental issue at the airport site convinced TransCanada to move the operation to an existing yard in Prague instead. This is where the pipe is originally brought in for the project. Two sections are welded together before they are loaded onto trucks to be transported to where the right of way has been cleared. They will eventually all be welded together to form a line that directly transports oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.

According to project spokesperson Jim Prescott, Phase I begins in Hardesty, Alberta, Canada and travels east through Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada before turning south

195 miles south from Cushing to the other side of the Red River.

There are about 30 crews that deploy a total of about 850 workers across the state that work in an assembly line fashion. While one crew works to locate the right away, another clears the trees while another builds fence. After trucks drop the pipe off along the route another will weld it together, one will dig the trench and yet another will lower it into the ground. The pipe is covered with a protective layer, and a urethane “pillow” is placed in the trench before the pipe is lowered into the hole. The pipe is next padded before it is covered to keep the protective coating from being damage.

According to Prescott, the project is expected to be completed by this summer, and begin operation before the year ends. This pipeline will initially move 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day (with the ability to increase to 830,000 barrels per day) from Cushing to the Texas refineries located on the Gulf and on to the world market.

Phase 4 would be a more direct route from Hardesty, Canada to Steele City, Nebraska, where it would tie in to the existing line. Phase 4 suffered a setback when, after a series of public hearings, Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman called a special session that resulted in the passage of a couple of bills. One was a compromise with TransCanada to move the pipeline away from the Sandhills and the Ogallala Aquifer. This is a precaution to insure that any potential oil spill does not impact the aquifer, which supplies drinking water to many cities and ranches as well as irrigation water for the agriculture industry.

The second bill approves state funding for an environmental study for the new pipeline not to exceed $2 million.

The State Department and the President were aware of this concern and had already announced that they would delay making a decision until after the November 2012 elections so that a study could be completed. However, in December 2011 the US House of Representatives introduced a measure requiring the presi-

dent to make a decision on the pipeline within 60 days. The measure was included in an unrelated payroll tax cut bill in December.

On January 18, 2012 President Obama rejected a permit for Keystone XL Phase 4 to cross the Canadian border, saying more time was needed to study alternate routes. In March of 2012 the President approved Phase 3 from Cushing to the Gulf Coast.

On January 22, 2013 Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman informed the President that the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality has completed their study. They have determined that the revised route avoids many of the most sensitive areas and notes that potential spills in the Ogallala aquifer should be limited in impact and would be remedied by TransCanada.

The Governor has approved the pipeline across Nebraska.

A decision from the President is expected in the near future. If approved, the entire project, including the proposed northern extension, could be in service by late 2014 or early 2015.

JUST PASSING THROUGH – Truckloads of large pipe headed south is becoming a familiar sight on Main Street of Allen. This heavy traffic is due to the Oklahoma portion of the TransCanada Keystone Pipeline Project Phase 3, which is currently expanding from Cushing to the Red River and will eventually carry tar sands crude oil from western Canada to refineries in the Gulf area near Houston.

Atwood First Baptist Church News

Sunday School attendance was up again this week, and the men who cooked the First Sunday breakfast may be right if they’re wanting to take a lot of credit for it. They made “from scratch” biscuits, gravy, scrambled eggs, and pancakes and made it sound easy. They didn’t make any promises about providing all the food for the Super Bowl party after the Bible Study on Sunday evening. As the saying goes, though, it’s all good.

The Wednesday After-school Program is continuing to grow.

In fact, our church is in the market for a used bus in good condition if you know of one.

The chariot we have isn’t big enough to get the job done now.

Jake Hammonds sang “Jesus Is Holding my Hand” this Sunday. It’s been awhile since we’ve heard Jake sing so it was good to have him bring the

special music again.

Since this was the first Sunday in February it was a particularly appropriate time for Rev. Karch to bring a message about love. Yep, the Scripture passage was 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

The word “love” is used in many different ways, but the online dictionary defines it as a word meaning “unselfish, loyal, benevolent concern for another.” Extreme love is defined in John 3:16.

If you don’t love God, being in church doesn’t matter much.

If you don’t love people, it doesn’t matter much how hard you work to help them. Everything is different when it is done out of love. Your life is better all the way around if you serve God because you love him than if you serve because you have to.

Love never fails; it endures

Harmony Missionary News February 3rd service at the Harmony Missionary began with singing Abide With Me, I Choose Jesus, and I Know Whom I Have Believed. Church Trio sang The Love Of God, and I’d Rather Have Jesus.

Devotional was “Lonely at the Top”, Hebrews 13:7, 1517. Adult Lesson, “Take Responsibility”, was from I Samuel 121:1-9, 22:9-23.

Whatever happens, God’s people should be persons of high integrity. Accept personal responsibility by holding yourself accountable to God and to others. “None of us liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself.” Romans 14:7 Youth Lesson was “Responsible Citizen.” As Christians we are to obey both God’s word and our government. Romans 13:1, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God.” We were blessed to have Don, Corless, Damen, Denise, John and Jessika Steele in service. Denise helped us with Without Him and Ten Thousand Years.

Bro. David’s message was on “Worry”, Matthew 7:25-34.

Verse 25: “Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your bode, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?”

Harmony presented a wedding gift to Bro. David and Jenna.

They have been married for two weeks.

Pictures were taken of Bro. Marsh and his birthday cake. He will turn 96 on February 6th. Bro. David also had a cake, his birthday is February 4th.

We had our month fellowship luncheon and it was enjoyed by everyone. We pray you have a good week and may God bless you.

no matter what. Jesus did everything he came to do out of love, and Jesus’ love will never fail. He saved us completely, and he is with us all the way through this life and through eternity.

There comes a time when we have to grow up and deal with life as it comes, and it is also true that Christians need to grow up spiritually. It is childish to pray and expect what we want exactly when we want it.

God expects us to ask for what we really need and realize that He will provide it at the time that is best. God also expects us to provide help for others when it’s needed.

Faith, hope, and love are necessary for salvation. Since out of His love for us God gives us faith and hope, then love is the greatest of the three.

Our putting love for God and love for one another first leads to a well-lived life. We not only benefit the Kingdom of God and those around us, in the long run we benefit ourselves as well.

O ur children opened our Sunday School program this morning singing “This is the Day.� We enjoy their enthusiasm and love to see them singing for Jesus. They are our future and we need to encourage them whenever we can. This Valentine month is the perfect time to show our love for others through Christ.

A fter Sunday School we had our congregational songs and our quartet sang “How Great Thou Art.� Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and entitled “Playing to Win.� Playing to win demands a disciplined life. We need disciplined bodies and minds.
