Parent Teacher Conference Dates Changed
The Allen Board of Education had a teleconference call with a representative of the firm of Kerry John Patten, C.P.A. to review the findings of the 2014-2015 audit. The review found the school to be in compliance with a substantial carry-over for the current school year. The Board met Thursday, February 11 th, for their monthly meeting. In attendance were the five board members, Cindy Davis, Robert Hammonds, Frayne Black, Chad Goodson and Jeff Maloy. Also present were administrators Bob Gragg and Michael James, board secretary Brenda Robertson, and a representative of Midwest Bus Sales. Administrative reports showed enrollment currently stands at 295 students in the elementary and 216 students in high and junior high school. T he superintendent’s report noted that Allen has been named a runner-up as a Class A Oklahoma Promise school. District basketball playoff assignments have been announced and Allen will be traveling to Wayne; then back to Wayne for first round regional competition with the second games to be held at Marlow Central. The area tournament will be held at Cache High School and state playoffs will be in Oklahoma City. Due to scheduling conflicts with softball and basketball playoffs, Parent/Teacher Conference will be changed from Thursday evening March 3rd to Monday and Tuesday of that week, to be held from 4:00 to 7:00 each evening. Improvements and repairs to the football stadium continues, and installation of the softball field lights should begin this next week. It was noted that information on acquiring a dressing room at the softball field is be-
ing gathered by Coach Byrnes. An after-prom event has been proposed by the high school student council. High school principal Michael James stated a bus will transfer Allen students to LazerZone in Ada for an 11:00 pm to 5:00 am night of unlimited bowling, lazer tag and mini golf with pizza and soft drinks being served to those attending. Cost of the after-prom party will be $18 per person. M r. James also complimented the basketball teams on their records, and noted the High School Powerlifting Meet held in Allen this past week had 22 schools competing. Allen earned first place in the high school competition and runner-up in the junior meet. Approval was given to the consent agenda items which included minutes of the January meetings, purchase orders/encumbrances, the treasurer’s and activity fund reports, a travel request submitted by Ashlan Anderson to attend the FACS Day at the Capital with expenses to be paid from the activity fund, and four fundraiser requests. The FCCLA requested permission to sell catalog items; the Allen Theater Club will present “Dinner and a Show” in April; FFA Horticulture plans to have a plant sale; and a high school/junior high entertainment package will be offered to raise money for class projects. Under action items the Board accepted a contract for school psychological services on an “as needed” basis; approved the purchase of a small multi-function activity bus to replace the school van; and gave approval for the Landrun Group to continue with construction management and engineering services. Following an executive session, the Board accepted Monty Johnson as golf coach for the 2016
season; approved a draft policy for payment of unused sick leave for retiring/resigning employ-
ees; approved letters of reasonable assurance to be delivered to employees; and the renewal of con-
tracts for administrators Greg Mills and Michael James for the upcoming year.

For many years my dad and I owned a dry cleaners. After I got married I was used to doing laundry and I did it without hesitation at home. I assumed I was in a small minority of husbands “in charge” of doing laundry, however, according to a recent survey there are a lot of men in charge of the laundry. Do Laundry Like A Man by Ellen Byron An epic change is happening inside American homes: Men are doing more laundry. Detergent and washing machine makers are taking aim at this growing group. While women still report doing most of the clothes washing, men now share more of the load. Tide is trying new scents it considers more masculine. Whirlpool added a cycle to keep colors from mixing because men don’t sort the laundry. Hero Clean detergent is geared for days-old stains because men tend to let dirty clothes sit around. Doing laundry, marketers say, involves more decisions than many other household chores and men and women do it differently. From consumer researcher Mintel’s annual laundry survey of approximately 2,000 consumers, split roughly evenly between women and men, researchers found that the jump is particularly stark with men, age 18 to 34,
with 67% saying they were “mainly responsible for the laundry” last year, up from 44% in 2013. Nearly 60% of men, age 35 to 54, are doing laundry. Among men aged 55 and older, just 35% claimed laundry responsibility last year, up one percentage point since 2013. Procter & Gamble Co., the biggest maker of detergent in the U.S., recently stopped calling the Tide consumer “she” in its internal discussions, upending a some 70-year practice. “Now, as habits change, we talk about him and her,” says Sundar Raman, P&G’s vice president of North American fabric care, which includes the Tide, Bounce, Gain and Downy brands. “It’s a fundamental shift in how we’re approaching the business.” To target men, P&G has considered a Tide for Men variety, but ultimately decided to make detergents like Tide Plus Febreze Sport in fragrances including “Victory Fresh.” Bounce for Men, intro-
duced in 2014. In ads, P&G deliberately portrays men as confident launderers. Coinciding with last weekend’s Super Bowl, P&G continued an online video campaign for Tide pods featuring smaller-statured NFL stars and other athletes along with a “small but powerful” advertising slogan. “Just like men are underestimated in doing their chores, pods are underestimated because they’re small,” Mr. Raman says. Many men have little choice. More men are single — 47% of the adult male population in the U.S., according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Married men now do 42% of all housework, more than double the amount they did 30 years ago, Mr. Raman says. The Sun Products Corp., maker of All detergent and Snuggle fabric softener, about three years ago started including male consumers in most research projects. “It used to be all women,” says Lora Van Velsor, Sun Products vice president of marketing. “Now we go for a 70-30 split of women and men.”
Sun Products researchers found that men report fewer laundry frustrations than women, except for one major complaint: sorting. “Men tend to do fewer loads and they tend to put everything together,” says Deep Bhandari, Sun Products’ vice president of consumer insights and strategy. “Sorting is a big problem for them, a significantly higher one than for women.” Whirlpool Corp. says it developed a “ColorLast” cycle on its washing machines to better accommodate men with an aversion to sorting. The cycle uses a combination of water temperature, time and movement to keep colors from fading. Men are much more likely than women to always use the “normal” cycle on their washers, and more likely to use the same cycle every time on their dryer, Whirlpool says. Women tend to prefer intricate sorting, careful selection of specialized settings and precise folding routines, a process Whirlpool calls “art.” Dean Rock, a stay-athome father of three chil-

Devotion of the Week
I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. Genesis 12:3a Nato, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is made up of 28 member nations with 37 other nations involved in NATO programs. NATO was formed in 1949 to defend its members against attacks by nonmembers. The basic idea of such a coalition is: Any attack on one is an attack on all. God’s covenant with Israel is similar. God will bless all nations who bless Israel and will curse any nation that curses Israel. The ancient nations that attacked Israel have long since been covered over by the sands of time. It is no coincidence that America has been the most blessed and prosperous nation on earth while being the chief ally and defender of Israel since her statehood in 1948. The promises of God regarding His relationship with Israel stand as a stark warning to any nation that chooses to be the enemy of Israel. It would behoove America and all nations to stand beside God’s chosen people and pray and act for the peace of Jerusalem. (Psalm 122:6) TURNING POINT I am proud of my part in the creation of this new state. Our Government was the first to recognize the State of Israel. President Harry Truman
Smile of the Week
The Sum of Her Parts Helen went in for a doctor’s appointment, and was told she should probably have her knee replaced. The news sent her into a tizzy. “What do you mean, have my knee replaced? I’ve already had both hips replaced, one knee replaced, and a heart valve replaced. Even my teeth have been replaced. Pretty soon, there will be nothing left of me! “Anything else you want to replace, Doctor, or will this do it?” As she got upset, Helen’s face got more and more red, and she began to sweat. “Well, while we’re on the subject, we might think about replacing some of those hormones . . .”

dren in Chappaqua, New York, describes laundry in his household as “a constant slog.” He separates clothes needing dry cleaning and his wife’s delicates from the rest of the family’s laundry and then “it all goes in,” he says. “If it gets clean and done, it works for me.” Josh Purdy, a 38-yearold public relations manager in Minneapolis, has done his own laundry since moving out of his parents’ home and over the years has carefully honed his technique. He regularly checks the back of his detergent bottle for measuring guidelines and often looks up stainfighting tips online. To keep his high-end jeans in good condition, Mr. Purdy reads each label for washing instructions and usually dries them on a low setting. “If I buy clothes, it’s an investment,” says Mr. Purdy. “If I don’t do it right, instead of 30-inch length jeans they’re 29, and then I can’t wear them anymore.” Mike Eaton believes men’s laundry needs are distinct. He founded Hero Clean, a company that sells cleaning products including detergent “built for men and their unique dirt, stains and odors.” The line, which launched in August, is sold online and in some Target stores. “I don’t use women’s deodorant, soap or shampoo,” says Mr. Eaton. “But I have to throw my clothes in detergent that’s been formulated and marketed to women. I realized there was a hole in the market.” Hero Clean’s detergent is formulated to fight stains that have been sitting for a while and meant to accommodate men’s laundry routine of “clean, delay, delay, delay then clean again,” Mr. Eaton says. “Clothes are going to sit in the hamper until a guy needs them again,” he says. The detergent formula targets stains and soils Mr. Eaton says are common to male lifestyles, including sweat, ketchup, mustard, beer, gasoline, grass, wine and axle grease. Future marketing will highlight Hero Clean’s ability to remove glitter and lipstick, he says. Brothers Erin and Leif Frey, recent college graduates, grew up doing their own laundry and were puzzled by the predominantly feminine fragrances that line the laundry aisle. Realizing other young men felt the same, they launched a crowd-funding effort and tapped their own savings to develop Frey detergent, which launched online last fall. “The world is pushing
for gender equality in the home and yet these household products just aren’t there,” says Leif Frey. To craft a sufficiently masculine fragrance, the brothers erected a chemistry set in their mother’s basement to tinker with the notes of top-selling colognes. After several months they found their favorite combination of oak, musk, leather, bergamot, sandalwood and frankincense. The company promises that it fights stains but is gentle enough to be “designerlabel safe.” Persil, the detergent made by Henkel AG , says laundry habits are determined by children more than gender dynamics. Last weekend, it aired its first Super Bowl ad, which starred a James Bond-style spokesman intended to appeal to both men and women. “It doesn’t matter if a male or female heads the household,” says Caroline LaBarre, director of marketing for Henkel’s U.S. premium laundry detergents. “We’re clear that children drive laundry volume.” —CC— An Alternative Black History Month You won’t be hearing about the rising black middle class or intact two-parent families of the 1950s. by Jason L. Riley Black History Month, which began as Negro History Week some 90 Februarys ago, was meant to be temporary. Its founder, historian Carter G. Woodson, envisioned a time when black history would be incorporated with American history and no longer require separate recognition. Woodson’s optimism was warranted. Americans today are led by a black president in the fourth year of his second term. Martin Luther King’s birthday is a national holiday. The likeness of Harriet Tubman or Rosa Parks might soon grace U.S. currency, if the majority of people surveyed prevails. And it has been decades since school curricula excluded black perspectives and accomplishments. Black History Month’s sunset might seem long overdue, but the celebration is too useful politically for that to happen anytime soon. Woodson died in 1950, a few years before the civilrights movement found its stride. In the post-1960s era, black leaders turned that movement into a lucrative industry, and Black History Month helps keep them relevant. February is not simply about highlighting the achievements of people like voting-
rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer or the Buffalo Soldiers who served in the Spanish-American War. It is also about using racial identity to advance groupthink and to discourage black individuality. It is about presenting the history of blacks as the history of their victimization by whites up to the present day—which explains racial disparities in areas ranging from school achievement and household income to rates of unemployment, incarceration and single-parent homes. The irony is that black history in the first half of the 20th century is a history of tremendous progress despite overwhelming odds. During a period of legal discrimination and violent hostility to their advancement, blacks managed to make unprecedented gains that have never been repeated. Black poverty fell to 47% from 87% between 1940 and 1960—before the implementation of Great Society programs that receive so much credit for poverty reduction. The percentage of black white-collar workers quadrupled between 1940 and 1970—before the implementation of affirmativeaction policies that supposedly produced today’s black middle class. In New York City, the earnings of black workers tripled between 1940 and 1950, and over the next decade the city saw a 55% increase in the number of black lawyers, a 56% increase in the number of black doctors and a 125% increase in the number of black teachers, accord-
ing to political scientist Michael Javen Fortner’s new book, “Black Silent Majority.” The number of black nurses, accountants and engineers grew at an even faster clip over the same period. “There are signs that the Negro has begun to develop a large, strong middle class,” wrote Time magazine in 1953. You don’t hear much about this black history during Black History Month (or any other month, for that matter) because it undercuts the dominant narrative pushed by the political left and accepted uncritically by the media. The Rev. Al Sharpton and the NAACP have no use for empirical evidence of significant black socioeconomic gains during the Jim Crow era, because they have spent decades insisting that blacks can’t advance until racism has been eliminated. If racism is no longer a significant barrier to black upward mobility and doesn’t explain today’s racial disparities, then blacks may have no use for Mr. Sharpton and the NAACP. The main priority of civilrights leaders today is self-preservation. Many factors could plausibly explain black progress in the first part of the 20th century. The postWorld War II economy was booming, and blacks were steadily increasing their years of education, which increased their levels of compensation. Mass migration from the South meant that more blacks had access to the higherpaying jobs in the North. The black family was also more stable during
this period. Every census from 1890 to 1940 shows the black marriage rate slightly higher than the white rate. In 1925 five out of six black children in New York City lived with both parents. Nationally, two out of three black children were being raised in two-parent homes as recently as the early 1960s. Today, more than 70% are not. Black nuclear families used to be the norm. Now they are the exception. Jim Crow did less damage to the black family than well-intentioned Great Society programs that discouraged work and marriage and promised more government checks for having more children. But that black history is also kept largely under wraps by those who have a vested interest in blaming the decimation of the black family on slavery and discrimination. Much of what ought to be studied, duplicated and celebrated in black history is often played down or willfully ignored. And so long as the media allow civil-rights activists and liberal politicians with their own agendas to speak for all blacks, that won’t change. Mr. Riley, a Manhattan Institute senior fellow and Wall Street Journal contributor, is the author of “Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed” (Encounter Books, 2014). —CC— And last of all, my favorite story of the week…. Approaching a passerby, a street person asked, “Sir, would you give me a hundred dollars for a cup of coffee?”

else. In the winter, I would go out with my brother’s gun and hunt rabbits. I picked up pecans and hickory nuts, brought them back home; dumped them out at the base of the cottonwood tree in our yard and on warm days would crack them and pick out the nuts. On cold days when I had to stay in, I would make molasses candy on the old coal stove and have the nuts to put in it. Leon and I grew up with memories like this and we stayed close all through the years. They were good years. One summer when he came for a visit, he spent some time at the computer and wrote out his memories of the years he was in the Navy. I have those that I will be able to share with other family members.
was fifteen, he saved his money and hitched a ride to Ada, eighteen miles from our hometown and bought a bicycle. Up to that time, he had never ridden a bicycle but after buying it that day, he rode it home. And there are a lot of hills on that highway, When Leon was in the eleventh grade, World War II was on and he joined the Navy. At war’s end, he came home, finished high school and then went to law school in California. He had always loved politics so he got involved in a governor’s race. His candidate won and then later this governor appointed him to the bench. He served many years as a Judge Growing up we had a cousin who had a Shetland
pony and he came out to our house every day in the summer and on weekends. With a couple of other neighborhood kids, we roamed the creek and pastures, taking turns riding the pony, riding willow trees to the ground, picking up hickory nuts and pecans in season and just being together. One summer we made rubber guns, chose up sides and had rubber gunfights. We made bulls eyes and shot at them with the BB guns. By ‘running’ with this neighborhood gang, I learned to shoot the BB gun with the best of them. As I got older, at Halloween functions at school carnivals, twice I won cases of motor oil by having more shots near the bull’s eye than anyone
It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Charles H. Owens. Charles was born on October 16, 1924, in Allen, Oklahoma to Francis “Frank” and Nancy Owens.

Growing up on the family farm, Charles entered the United States Navy at age 18 and served with distinction in World War II. After World War II, he moved to California, living in Fresno since 1946. Charles was a plastering
contractor until the early 1970’s, at which time he switched careers to become an insurance managing general agent. Being a devout Christian, Charles devoted his time to spreading the message of Jesus Christ. He was a member of the Peoples Church for over 40 years as well as being instrumental in the construction of many local churches as a volunteer. Until the summer of 2015, he was a regular at the Clovis Farmers market for two and a half years playing his “fiddle”, talking and singing for donations

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, FEBRUARY 18, 2016 -PAGE 5
One Pharmacist’s View U sually the summer plague of mosquitoes in Allen mostly spells misery for our little kids. Playing outside in a pair of shorts means a feast for the pests causing skin sores and even impetigo for our kids. But in recent years along came The West Nile Disease which probably should have caught more of our attention but didn’t. Mosquitoes ruled the night in Allen and much of the days last year--mostly unnoticed. Now here comes the Zika Virus. This nasty virus creates illness and birth defects and is causing panic in some South America countries. The virus is carried by mosquitoes who also enjoy hitching a ride on airplanes. Works good, too. We already have cases in the USA. Fighting the Zika means fighting off the mosquitoes. Local governments can fight mosquito populations by making sure ditches are draining properly and getting rid of standing water. Our residents should participate in this battle too by seeing that their gutters are cleaned out and draining. In Allen our biggest problem would be the pure amount of junk that lays around. These eyesores seem invisible to a lot of our residents but old tires, discarded appliances and junk cars provide a perfect haven for the breeding of mosquitoes. Besides transmitting Zika these mosquitoes carry West Nile, Dengue Fever, Chikunguma and Yellow
Zika, Dengue Fever & other summer
Fever as well as the common impetigo and other bacteria. While we know the remedy you would be wise to consider that the fear of mosquitoes has never been widespread in Allen and lots of people love their junk to the extreme so the rest of us might well be ready to protect ourselves. Remember first that mosquitoes don’t stray far from their birthplace. If you have mosquitoes they are probably bred close by so a good walkaround might clear your problems. If you or your kids are outside you can protect yourselves with insect repellant containing DEET. Working outside may require you to wear more clothing and keep your windows closed. Remember, electricity is still cheaper than antibiotics for impetigo and much better than having a baby with brain defects. Mosquito reduction not involving puddle draining and cleanup involves a rather expensive job of seeding with genetically altered male mosquitoes. Some areas reduced their mosquitoes population by 84% which is pretty impressive--and expensive. Spraying is often tried and if done properly can give a lot of relief to the clouds of mosquitoes that drive us out of our yards on a summer eve. Spraying in conjunction with cleanup and emptying birdbaths and the such can make a big difference. And it is
something any of us can do. I can assure you that genetically altering male mosquitoes is quite a bit out of anyone’s expertise that I know of. E ven if there weren’t things such as ZIKA out
there, cleaning up and getting rid and/or protecting ourselves from these bloodsucking pests is worthwhile and increases our quality of life. Here’s to a healthy springtime in Allen for you and your
kiddoes. And don’t forget to go to church Sunday. I don’t know that it will kill any mosquitoes but it has the possibility of greatly increasing your quality of life.

In Africa, the farmers must guard their corn fields because the baboons will destroy their corn. When the corn is ripe for roasting, an ole baboon will start at one end of a row, grab and break off an ear of corn and stuff it under his arm. He seemed excited to see so much good corn and hurries to the next ear, breaking it off and then stuffing it under the same arm. Of course, when he lifts his arm, the first ear falls to the ground. He repeats this process until he comes to the end of the row, but he ends up with only one ear of corn as each time he raised his arm to place the next ear under it, the previous ear fell to the ground. He could destroy a field of corn and end up with only one ear. Not too smart Uh? Does it not seem to you that many people are mak-
ing the same mistake as the baboon? Don’t we hurry through life chasing after possessions and pleasures? We see all the bright, shinning possessions of others and we rush to grab them also. We hear of some new comfort or pleasure and discard the old as we appropriate the new. Our days are filled with running here and there, slaving away to earn a living and to obtain the latest of products, pleasures and gadgets . . . until we come to the end of life and . . .what do we have? Like the baboon at the end of the row, we are left with nothing. The Apostle Paul wrote, “We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.” (1 Tim 6:7) Instead of putting our faith
in the physical to give us life, Paul wrote that “godliness with contentment is great gain.” And “having food and clothing, with these let us be content.” (1 Tim 6:6-8) The Wise Man wrote, “In all your getting, get understanding.” (Prov 4:7) We must not be without understanding, like the baboon. Instead, may we understand that nothing on the earth can give us life – none of the things we chase after – not food, clothing, comforts or pleasures. May God help us to understand that in order to have something at the end of life, we must chase after “denying ungodliness and worldly lusts” and living “soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.” (Titus 2:12)

Love is in the air. We had a wedding Saturday for Jennea and Butch Youngblood. Everything was decorated beautiful and we used it for our Valentine’s banquet Sunday night. The weather cooperated and we had a big crowd. Our special this Sunday “I Am Redeemed” was sung by Sara and Matt Chapman. We enjoy their musical talent. Bro. Larry’s text was taken from 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 and entitled “God’s Definition of Love.” Love is unconditional. Our basic human concept of
love is flawed. We tend to think it is about feelings and emotions. Our idea of love is focused on attraction, affection, and attention. The biblical idea of love is much deeper, more involved, and more demanding. Love is accepting others where they are. Love sees the ultimate worth of others. Love desires the highest good for others. Paul reminds us that love is about wanting only what is best for someone else. God continues to love us unconditionally. As His children we are challenged

to show that kind of love to others. Love will not fail. All too often we humans come to the end of our patience and even our love. The words: “I’ve had it!” are screamed in anger as the door slams. Paul simply says: “love never fails.” This way God loves is called agape love. We cannot express this kind of love unless we have received it. It is the selfsacrificing love Christ showed on the Cross. It is the kind of love that can change a life forever.

Mustangs Begin Playoffs Friday Night By HERMAN BROWN Allen correspondent
The Allen Mustangs suffered two different outcomes in the games they played last week. The Mustangs ran over the Bowlegs Bison in a one-side blowout win on Tuesday at Bowlegs. Then, on Friday, Allen was humbled in a 25-point loss on the road against the Vanoss Wolves. It’s the oldest adage in basketball - sometimes you’re the hunter and sometimes you’re the hunted. At Bowlegs, Allen was clearly the hunter. The Mustangs crushed the Bison 70-24. Allen sprinted to leads of 20-13 in the first quarter, 41-17 at the half and 5620 after three quarters. The Mustangs outscored the hosting Bowlegs team 14-4 down the stretch to finish off the win 70-24. It appears Coach Greg Mills was the only one on the Allen bench that didn’t score at Bowlegs, and he has bad knees. However, he had 14 players pick up the slack on his lack of scoring production. Christian Henry was the leader in scoring with 12 points. Josiah Jones was second on the team with 9 points while Tommy Peay and Brendan McClure chipped in 7 points each.
Fernando Medina and Hunter Simpson contributed 6 points and Tadyn Walker generated 5. Jose Medina scored 4 points while Drew Back and Kaden Mills added 3 points each. Four others scored 2 points each, including Tucker Elliott, Jensen Peay, Austin Bailey and Jordan Stick. Allen enjoyed a dominate cakewalk Tuesday. However, the story changed on Friday at Vanoss. The Wolves were the hunters and cut down the Mustangs on a 61-36 final score. Allen trailed 17-8 in the first quarter and 31-13 going into the half-time break. The Mustangs were also outscored in both quarters of the second half. Vanoss won the scoring total 11-7 in the third quarter and 1916 in the fourth. When the final score was recorded at 61-31, Allen was 35 points on the short side of the host team. A total of 10 Mustangs scored in the contest on Friday. Brendan McClure was the leader with 7 points and was followed by Tommy Peay with 5. Three Mustangs scored 4 points each, including Tadyn Walker, Josiah Jones and Ty Brown. The Allen players also
chipped in 3 points each, including Kaden Mills, Jose Medina and Hunter Simpson. Tucker Elliott scored 2 points and Drew Back added the final point. The final week of the regular season is at hand. In fact, Allen was due to visit the Wetumka Chieftains on Tuesday night. The Mustangs came into the game with an overall record of 14-7. The district tournament begins this weekend. Allen will take on Wayne in first round action Friday evening at 8:00 p.m. (Following the Wayne girls vs. Northeast OKC.) Coach Mills’ Mustangs will take a Friday night win to play in the district championship game at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, also at Wayne. The winner’s opponent will be
Northeast OKC. As previously announced, the next round of postseason action will start the regional sub-site at Wayne. Allen will go to Wayne for Thursday’s game. On Friday, the winner will move to the regional’s main site at Central High in Marlow for the remaining games. The area tournament the following weekend will be at Cache (near Lawton). Those who continue on to state the following weekend will play in the Oklahoma City area - finishing up at State Fair Arena in Oklahoma City.

Atwood First Baptist News
Am I the only one who gets mixed up on whether Valentine’s Day is considered a Christian holiday or not? One source listed by Google says that St. Valentine was a priest in the 3rd Century A.D. Roman Emperor Claudias issued an edict prohibiting marriages for young couples based on his opinion that unmarried men made better soldiers since they wouldn’t be worried about their families. Emperor Claudius did approve, though, of persecuting Christians. The society of that time was pretty relaxed about marriages and romantic relationships, so in its view the ban on marriage wasn’t a major problem. St. Valentine, however, continued to secretly perform marriages for Christian couples since Christians held that a marriage between a man and a woman was sacred. He was eventually caught, imprisoned, and executed for this. There is a story that Asterius, one the men who judged him, had a daughter who was blind. During the time Valentine was in prison he prayed with and healed the young girl. As a result Asterius himself became a Christian. Shortly before he was taken to his execution on February 14th, St. Valentine wrote a note to Asterius’s daughter and signed it, “from your Valentine.” Time to Service your Today, we’re still sending messages on Feb. 14th that end with a version of “from your Valentine.” How Cupid got involved in Valentine’s Day is mysterious enough to Furnace be fodder for another Google search. If they’ve ever failed to produce the obligatory Valentine card or gift, it isn’t so mysterious that husbands and boyfriends underfor a care-free winter stand a lot about how St. Valentine must have felt on that terrible February 14th in the hours before his excution. Our speaker this Sunday was Darius Emerson. His message titled “When Trials Come Blessings Follow” was based on Hosea 2:14, ZONES: SOUTHEAST 15 and Matthew 7:24-27. for week of February 14, 2016 The Bible doesn’t promise that a Christian will enjoy a life of ease.

Jesus spent time in the Judean desert before beginning his Brett, Danielle, Ryan, Ty & Ely O’Daniel ministry, and Paul was prepared for his ministry while he was in the Arabian Desert.

Personal pain, heartache, and heartbreak all qualify as desert experiences. How do we prepare for them?
