January is the month that many folks decide to start an exercise program (I am not among those). Mark Lowry shared his thoughts on exercise . . . “Who invented exercise? Why do our bodies need it? Mine has done just fine without it for over thirty years. I know our bodies are the temples of the Lord, but show me where Jesus ever jogged. We have no record of the Lord doing sit-ups. None whatsoever. Everywhere in the Bible that it talks about the Lord’s mode of transportation, it says He either walked or rode a donkey. Jesus didn’t run on the water. He walked on the water. Paul said that physical exercise profiteth little. I agree with him. Every time I’ve ever exercised, it profited very little. All right, I’ll admit it. I did try jogging once. I went all out too. I bought some very expensive sweats. I spent ten to fifteen dollars on the tennis shoes alone. I even bought a sweatband for my head. What I needed was a sweatband for my body. I hate to sweat. That fateful morning, I put on my sweats, tromped outside, and tried to jog around the block. I did okay for the first forty-five seconds. Then my heart started racing. My heart hadn’t felt like that since I ran the thirty-six-minute mile in high school. (That was probably the Guinness Book of World Records entry for the event. By the time I came in from that race, all the other kids had showered, shaved, and were halfway home.) Still, I was but there – jogging. Blisters were forming inside those ten-dollar sneakers, and I figured my heart was supposed to feel like it was pumping blood for the whole county. By the time I’d gotten to the third house down from mine, my sweatpants, sweatshirt, and sweatband were totally soaked with sweat. All I needed was a bar of soap, and I could’ve skipped the shower. Then my side started feeling like someone had snuck up behind me and stuck a hot poker into it. I doubled over somewhere near house number four.
Through my legs, I saw some little kids waiting on the school bus. There was one little snotty-nosed kid smacking his lips. He was pointing at me, saying, “Hey, maybe that guy’ll drop dead, and we can try out the CPR we learned yesterday at school!” I gave him the dirtiest look I could muster, the same one I’d been giving everything since I left my house. When I finally got back home, I put my tennis shoes away. I haven’t seen them since. I threw my sweatpants in the corner of my closet. They’re still standing there. My sweatband has crystallized and is making a nice salt block for the neighbor’s cat. I haven’t totally given up on exercise. My dad’s always said he was gonna start jogging just as soon as he passes a jogger with a smile on his face. I’ve seen those beautiful bodies on the talk shows. And I must admit those people look really good. But when they’re asked how any hours a day they spend in the gym, the answer is always two to three hours every single day! W ho has two to three hours a day to spend in the gym? I certainly don’t. Instead, I just tuck that extra fat roll deeper into my pants. It may be getting harder and harder to hold in
my stomach, but it doesn’t take two or three hours a day. Yet. The last time I was part of an exercise program was in Ft. Ord, California. I didn’t enjoy it then and have no desire to start one now. Enough of this about exercise, in fact it has made me hungry. It is time for a Pepsi, cheeseburger and Snickers. —CC— Speaking of exercise . . . Cliff Young was not your typical marathon runner. A scrawny, 61-year-old Australian potato farmer who still lived with his mom, Young didn’t even own a pair of running shoes. So, in 1983 when he signed up to compete in one of the world’s most grueling ultramarathons – a weeklong 544-mile footrace from Sydney to Melbourne – people just laughed. Young, after all, was a running punchline. H e trained by chasing cows around his farm. He jogged in rubber boots and went without teeth because his dentures rattled too much. When race day came, he lined up with 10 young, world-class marathoners – many of whom had corporate sponsors embla-
zoned across their chest. Sponsorless, Young wore a cheap pair of sneakers – his first – and ratty wind pants with holes cut in them for ventilation. W hen the starting gun fired, the pack left the old man in the dust. He shuffled at a turtle’s pace and his hands drooped awkwardly by his hips. Onlookers were afraid he would collapse. But Young had a secret – he didn’t need to sleep. Decades of herding sheep by foot had not only given him insane running endurance, but it had also conditioned him to stay awake for nights on end. When Young’s competitors caught a few winks that night, the slow and steady farmer napped for a measly two hours before quietly shuffling to the top of the leaderboard – and he never looked back. In just two days, Young slept three hours and ran 200 miles. When he crossed the finish line, he had beaten the course record by about two days. The closest runner lagged 10 hours behind him. The sexagenarian was awarded a $10,000 cash prize, but he was never in it for the money. Instead, he gave every penny to the next five competitors to cross the line.

Devotion of the Week
SEEDS OF HOPE
Everyone looks forward to a New Year and the hope it represents. “Well wishers” come at us from every direction wanting us to reap a harvest of joy and happiness, peace and prosperity. A “good new year” is a universal desire that everyone seeks. But how can we assure ourselves of having a Happy New Year? The answer comes from Isaiah 41:10. First, we must honor the two “nots”—do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Fear and dismay will disturb our minds, trouble our souls and destroy our health. Only as we place our faith in the goodness and grace of God will our fears evaporate and dismay vanish. Second, add the two “I ams”—I am with you and I am your God. Our God is always with us and we are never beyond His reach. When problems arise He wants to solve them. When needs arise He will meet them. When foes would destroy us He will conquer them. When storms appear He will calm them. Third, we need to mix them with the three “I wills.” I will strengthen you. He has all the strength we need with some to spare. I will help you. Here is help that is seeking us and is sufficient for every situation. I will uphold you. With what? The very same hands that hold the universe together! If we want 2016 to be a Happy New Year we must begin every day of every week of every month of the year reading God’s Word and spending time in prayer.
Smile of the Week
Say, Bill” a man said to his pal, “How do you like your new job?” “It’s the worst job I ever had.” “How long have you been there?” “About three months.” “Why don’t you quit?” “No way. This is the first time in 20 years that I’ve looked forward to going home.”

Grant Rowsey to Present at Symposium THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JANUARY 28, 2016 -PAGE 3
Allen High School graduate Tyler Grant Rowsey has always possessed a love for sciences, but developed an appreciation for research while serving as an intern at the Dean McGee Eye Institute in Oklahoma City last summer. His research experience and findings will be shared at the Fourth Annual Dr. Raniyah C. Ramadan Neuroscience Symposium on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 1 p.m. in ECU’s Foundation Hall of the Chickasaw Business and Conference Center. T he Ramadan Symposium, which is free and open to the public, is named in honor of the late Dr. Raniyah Ramadan, who was a research scientist in neuro-ophthalmology. The symposium will feature three other speakers from the neuroscience field and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center - Dr. Anne Kasus-Jacobi, Dr. Darren Lee and Dr. Phillip Coburn, along with Dr. David Weir, director of the Dr. Raniyah C. Ramadan Center for Undergraduate
Research and Learning on the ECU campus. An ECU senior and recipient of the Raniyah Ramadan Scholarship generously given by the Ramadan family, Rowsey is gearing up for graduation this spring and is headed to medical school at the OU health and Sciences Center in the fall. He is part of ECU’s Presidential Leadership Program and McNair Scholars Programs and majors in both biology and chemistry with a minor in mathematics. Working under Dr. Dimitrios Karamichos at the Dean McGee Eye Institute, Rowsey’s research centered on corneal diabetes. “Our investigation consisted of IGF-1 and IGF-2 on healthy corneal fibroblasts,” said Rowsey. “It’s a relatively new field and there’s not a lot known about it.” IGF-1 and IGF-2 refer to the insulin growth factors in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, according to Rowsey, who will share his findings at the symposium.

on the Board of the local school for the past six years. Many improvements to the campus have been made and several projects are underway that he hopes to see to completion. “This is my hometown and my school, I want only the best for both and look forward to another term serving the people of the area.”
“ I’m pretty excited. I like to give oral presentations and have presented research at the Oklahoma Academy of Science,” Rowsey said. “I think it is fun to get up and tell about something you like to do. Dr. Karamichos is really smart, young and brilliant. He was great to work under and I learned a ton. He taught me a bunch of research techniques and how to be a successful researcher.” R owsey says Karamichos took him under his wing to the point of learning everything about the lab as well as having opportunities to shadow other researchers and get exposed to many types of
research. Rowsey has also worked on a research project for the McNair Scholars Program with Dr. Charles Biles, professor in ECU’s Biology Department. Their project consists of the altered expression of isozymes on different species of fungal cells through treatment NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). He has served as president of Tri-Beta (National Biological Honor Society), officer in the Chemistry Club and held office in the Sigma Tau Gamma for two years at ECU. Rowsey played basketball, football and golf while running track at
Allen High School and was part of FFA as well as being involved in different leadership organizations. Dr. Tawfik Z. Ramadan, the father of the late Raniyah Ramadan, and his family sponsor the event to honor their daughter, who was a research scientist in neuro-ophthalmology. “Our daughter had a belief in promoting science and research, especially in the neuroscience field,” said Tawfik Ramadan. “We do this because we feel that we belong to ECU.” Following are brief biographies for the scheduled speakers for the symposium:

Threads of Life by Cleo LeVally
I do not own a cat, however, cats come into my back yard on a regular basis. I think they come into my yard to watch the birds. I have never seen them catch one but occasionally I have seen feathers in the yard that would indicate that a bird has been killed. One day this week I started to open my back door and saw a cat stretched out on the deck, seemingly enjoying the sun but I think that it was also watching the birds. There is a gray one that I see sleeping on my deck on a regular basis. Some
mornings I also see a black cat asleep on top of the bird feeder box. Other days there is a brindle one that sleeps on one of the rails of the deck. Some of these cats that come into my yard may be strays but there are three that come into my yard on a regular basis that have collars on. I think they come into my yard because of the birds that come in to feed. This week the brindle one was there. As I watched

In the winter they may wander around in the snow without a warm scarf, a hat or mittens and they wear no galoshes on their feet. I never see a sick cat. It may be because I have

One Pharmacist’s View Seems like the last few weeks have been marked by a lot of crime in Oklahoma. When the crime rates go up for certain crimes, the citizens will turn to lawmakers for relief. Thus the clamor for new laws is frequent and loud. Never mind it’s often already illegal to commit those crimes. For instance, jillions of wrecks caused by drivers texting and using their cell phones caused the legislature to pass a law against cell phones. But wait! It’s already against the law to do anything that distracts the driver from his driving. Distracted driving would for sure include texting, and using the phone to talk. Tuning your radio is already unlawful (while driving) as is reading a book or eating your hamburger. But we go ahead and pass more laws anyway.
There ought to be a law
Stealing has always been unlawful but when the automobile became common fare on our roads thieves also found them attractive. In fact, stealing cars became so common it replaced “horse theft” as a most hated crime. It wasn’t long after automobiles suddenly became a common sight that legislatures had not only figured out ways to tax the automobile by making drivers buy a tag, larceny of an automobile soon became the subject of new and sometimes redundant laws on the books. Stealing my car is now worse than stealing my horse--except they don’t hang you for it--not to mention the fact I don’t own a horse Crimes against livestock stealing would be a hanging offense now if livestock farmers had their

Do you have faith in God? Do you really trust God and demonstrate your faith in Him by doing as He commands? Before you answer, consider this imaginary story. A man fell off a cliff, but managed to grab a tree limb on the way down. So he prayed, “Is anyone up there?” A voice replied, “I am here. I am the Lord. Do you believe me?” The man replied, “Yes, Lord, I believe. I really believe, but I can’t hang on much longer. The Lord said, “That’s all right, if you really have faith in me, you have nothing to worry about. I will save you. Just let go of the branch.” There was a pause and finally the man said, “Is anyone else up there?” It is so easy for us to claim to have faith in God, but it is most difficult to prove that our claim is genuine by doing what He commands. Like the man in this imaginary story, we want to be saved on our terms rather than by doing as God commands. God ask Abraham to prove his faith by offering his son, Isaac as a sacrifice.

This is local preacher Keith Warren’s first book. Keith gives numerous biblical examples of God’s grace and the faith of his people. This is a plainspoken and heartfelt examination of God’s Word that gives the readers a straightforward insight into how our Salvation and very existence is evidence of God’s grace and reminds us that faith is the proper response to his greatest gift to us, Jesus Christ. Keith is currently an elder and preacher at the Atwood church of Christ. Books are for sale at Emily’s Hair Saloon for $10.

By sweeping the field, the Lady Mustangs added that title to crowns from the Pontotoc Conference tournament and the Moss Invitational tournament. Allen also moved up from No. 9 to No. 8 in the latest Class 2A state rankings. Life is GOOD right now for the fans of the Lady Mustang program. However, there are still important goals on the ‘To Do’

Mustangs earn consolation title in tournament THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JANUARY 28, 2016 - PAGE 11
Allen comes back to down Macomb and Wetumka
By HERMAN BROWN Allen correspondent T he Allen Mustangs earned the consolation championship last week at the Pott County Tournament. The six-day event was staged at North Rock Creek High School near Shawnee. Coach Greg Mills’ Allen team lost to the Wellston Tigers in the opening round on Tuesday. However, the Mustangs bounced back to defeat the Macomb Hornets on Friday and took down the Wetumka Chieftain on Saturday. In the opener, Allen led 18-12 in the first quarter and 26-25 at the half. But the Wellston Tigers rallied in the second half, including a 25-14 advantage in the fourth quarter. The result was a 69-59 loss by Allen. Three players scored in double digits, including Logan George with 18 points and Josiah Jones and Christian Henry with 10 points each. The balanced attack also featured Tommy Peay with 8 points, Ty Brown with 7, Hunter Simpson with 4 and Drew Back with 2. The loss by the Mustangs dropped AHS into Friday’s consolation finals. The opponent in the must-win game was the
Macomb Hornets. Allen fought to a 2823 advantage going into halftime. Then, in the third quarter, the Mustangs erupted for 29 points while limiting the Hornets to only three points. The surge carried Allen into the fourth quarter with a 57-26 lead. They were narrowly outscored (11-9) down the stretch but still won by 29 points at 6637. Once again, three players soared into the double-digit scoring plateau. Logan George was tops again with a 19-point showing. Josiah Jones and Ty Brown added 13 points. Tommy Peay just missed double digits with 9 points. Brendan McClure was next with 6 points. Tadyn Walker and Drew Back added 2 points and Tucker Elliott and Hunter Simpson added 1 point each. F riday’s victory sent Allen into the consolation finals. The Mustangs were joined by the Wetumka Chieftain. The drama of the showdown evaporated quickly with a strong start by the Mustangs. Allen led 22-11 in the first quarter and 4014 halftime cushion. A HS went on to outscore the Chieftains 12-7 in the third quarter and 1413 in the fourth. When the clock wound down at the
Atwood Baptist Church This was one of those Sundays when attendance is down, and those who are here feel a bit like the proverbial “remnant.” ‘Tis the after Christmas season when colds, flu, and the feelin’ poorly “blahs” set in. David McMahan’s father passed away January 21st. For many years after he retired from his job, Mr. McMahan did volunteer work with a Southern Baptist group who worked on church building and repair project. He was well into his 90s and in ill health before he retired from this volunteer work. Mr. McMahan was a remarkable gentleman, and we extend our sympathy to his family. It doesn’t tie in with anything else in the church news, but a conversation about getting a tractor out of the mud bog brought question to mind. According to the ancient Sabbath laws, would the Pharisees think a stuck-in-the-mud tractor is equivalent to an ox stuck in the ditch? Even if they did, though, the rest of us couldn’t drag chairs out to watch them get that tractor out of the bog because that would be committing the sin of plowing on the Sabbath. Tom Spillman sang “Peace in the Valley” this Sunday. Trusting that Jesus has your back brings peace. However, your awareness of His presence in the midst of trying times brings a distinctive kind of peace, the kind that passes all understanding. Bro. Derek Miller was our guest speaker this week, and his text was Ephesians 6:10-20. He pointed out that the entire Bible is about the gospel. As we read it or hear sermons from it, the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin and the need to return to a right relationship with God. Jesus came to earth to go to the cross to make that full restoration possible. Along the way He was the greatest of teachers, and one of the things He said was that “No man comes to the Father except through Me.” We get back to God through Jesus (our High Priest). The Bible covers any and all aspects of living. Brother Derek read scriptures on temptation, comfort, and evangelism as examples. We should read the Word, study it, and memorize verses. We’re having this knowledge at hand so that we can successfully meet the challenges of each day.
end, Wetumka was sitting on a 66-34 lead. Tommy Peay was the leading scorer for the Mustangs with 14 points. Josiah Jones was second on the squad with 10 points. Brendan McClure was one point off the double-figure level with his 9-point game. The other scoring featured Christian Henry and Ty Brown with 6 points, Logan George and Drew Back with 5 points each. Tadyn Walker and Jordan Stick scored 3 points each and Shane Rinehart and Hunter Simpson added 2 points each to round out the scoring. The consolation championship squad will return to action twice this week. The early game was at Asher on Jan. 26 and will be at Sasakwa on Jan. 28.

Sunday was cold, but not nearly as cold as in the northern states. We thank God that we didn’t get the snow that they did. As we hear the news, there are many that need to be prayed for. Killings are all around us and we pray for the families. Our special this morning , “Amazing Grace,” was sung by Sharon and Wayne. We want to remind everyone about our Fifth Sunday singing this Sunday night beginning at 6:00. Several church will be with us and there should be some great music. Following the singing, we will have refreshments in the fellowship hall. Bro Larry’s sermon was taken from 1 Corinthians 12: 12-31 and entitled “We are the Body of Christ.” Each member is different from every other member. There is a place of service for each member. Our gifts, talents and abilities will affect our calling. We must each perform our function within the church. There is a place of service that only you can fulfill. E ach member of the church is to be devoted to the best interests of every other member. In the spiritual world the good of others must come first. Christ came to teach us the lessons of self-sacrifice and self-giving love. In self-giving and selfsacrifice we receive our greatest rewards. We need each other for mutual encouragement and mutual service. Christ created us and organized us so that we have continual need of one another. There is work to do within and without the body.
