Fifty one years out of high school and yes things have changed a lot. Bob Phillips writes . . .

When I bought my BlackBerry, I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees. I did it without a cell phone that plays music, takes pictures and videos, and communicates with Facebook and Twitter.

Under duress, I signed up for Twitter and Facebook so my seven kids, their spouses, my thirteen grandkids, and my two great-grandkids could communicate with me in a modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.

That was before one of my grandkids hooked my up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie, and Twittererific, Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message from every other texting program to my cell phone. My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I’m not ready to live like this. I now keep my phone in the garage in my golf bag.

The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going to the grocery store or library. I kept that in a box under my workbench with the Bluetooth (it’s red) phone I’m supposed to use when I drive. I wore the Bluetooth

device once while standing in line at Barnes & Noble, talking to my wife.

Everyone within 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and evidently I got a little loud.

The GPS looked pretty smart on my dashboard, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every ten minutes, she sarcastically said, “Re-calc-u-lat-ing.” You would think she could be nicer. She sounded as if she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead, well, it was not a good relationship.

When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets. She is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy the GPS Lady, but at least she loves me.

To be perfectly frank,

I’m still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We’ve had them for years, but I still haven’t figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have to run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings.

The world is just getting too complex for me—even when I go to the grocery store. You would think the checkers could make a simple decision, but this sudden “paper or plastic?” every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never remember to take them with me.

Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, “Paper or plastic,” I just say, “Doesn’t matter to me. I’m bi-sacksual.” Then it’s their turn to stare at me with a blank look.

I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a lot.”

—CC— Speaking of age . . .

This spring, a group of British scientists threw what was surely the world’s weirdest birthday bash. Roughly 3,000 British men and women, all of them turning 70, all of them strangers to one another, celebrated their special day at two enormous parties in London and Manchester.

The septuagenarians were the surviving members of one of the first and longest “cohort studies.” Seven decades before, British researchers had begun the process of tracking—through childhood, adolescence and adulthood—every single baby born in England, Scotland and Wales in a single week in March 1946. The original number, roughly 17,000, was soon culled down to a more manageable level, and death and attrition reduced it further over time. In “The Life Project,” Helen Pearson, a features editor for Nature, chronicles the research for the 1946 cohort and the four other mammoth studies that followed. All told, the studies have tracked The Allen AdvocATe

Devotion of the Week If you pick up a five-pound British note, you may see the image of one of England’s great heroes—Elizabeth Fry, a Christian reformer whose lifelong efforts on behalf of prisoners changed the laws of the land and the tone of prison ministry. Her heart went out to those behind bars, and she fought to give them humane treatment and dignity. For this she is remembered today with her image on British currency.

When Elizabeth was dying at the age of 65, she revealed the secret of her lifetime of service.

Speaking to one near her bed, she said, “My dear Rachel, I can say one thing—since my heart was touched at seventeen years old, I believe I have never awakened from sleep, in sickness or in health, by day or by night, without my first waking thought being how best I might serve my Lord.”

Whatever we’re facing today, we should say, as Paul did in Acts 9:6: “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Whatever circumstances we’re confronting, we can bathe them in prayer. God has a plan for us today.

It’s our joy to pray and proceed in obedience.

Smile of the Week We were in a restaurant, perusing the menu, when I let my husband know that he rarely paid attention to me when I spoke. Well, of course he disagreed, so we went back to reading our menus in chilly silence. After a few uncomfortable minutes, I said, “I think I’m getting a headache.”

He responded, “Go ahead, sweetheart; get whatever you want.”

Country Comments 70,000 people from the day they were born—in 1946, 1958, 1970, 1991 and 2001—until the present.

And what a mother lode of now-settled findings those studies revealed! The cohort studies spawned 6,000 papers and 40 books bringing to light, among much else, the dangers of drinking alcohol during pregnancy; the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome for babies sleeping on their stomachs; the long-term benefits for babies who are breastfed and for children who have regular bedtimes; pollution’s lasting effect on respiratory health; and smoking’s connection to cancer. As late as 1970, about 30% of pregnant women smoked, under the smiling supervision of doctors who believed that the habit helped them calm their nerves and keep their weight down. A tabloid headline about one of the cohort papers published in 1972—“Mum’s Cigs Killed 1,500 Babies”— changed prenatal advice and behavior for good.

“The Life Project” is in part an amiable narrative about the perseverance, inspired improvisation and political maneuvering behind modern scientific discovery. In the early cohorts, data was laboriously entered onto tens of thousands of punch cards.

A question about mothers’ smoking habits was added to the 1958 questionnaire only at the last minute, when a pediatrician remembered an “odd American study suggesting a link between smoking and birth weight.” Myopic politicians regularly threatened funding for projects whose payoff would come way past the next election.

But Ms. Pearson is well aware that the “”The Life Project” is also a very British story. The earlycohort scientists come across as mildly eccentric characters still possessed of wartime “keep calm and carry on” resolve.

Later ones showed a methodical, even obsessional,

style. Though they had no immediate plans for them, researchers designing the 1991 study decided to collect placentas after their subjects’ birth. When the hospital where the organs had been stored closed years later, a convoy of trucks transported 9,000 buckets with sloshing placentas to a chilled basement near Bristol, where, to this day, they wait to serve the cause of science.

From the first cohort, scientists were stuck by the effects of social class on life chances. Workingclass babies were more likely to get sick then their well-to-do peers. They were less well-nourished and grew more slowly.

Their early disadvantage continued into adulthood.

They were shorter in stature and had higher blood pressure and higher death rates from cardiovascular disease. The scientists concluded that the gap between socioeconomic groups could be traced all the way back to conditions in the womb. The findings spurred the newly created National Health Service to expand free prenatal and maternity care.

In fact, inequality remains a major theme— and disappointment—in the cohort literature. The first cohort study coincided with a new egalitarian spirit following the war. The 1944 Education Act had made education compulsory and free; the British government also introduced the “11-plus” test to locate promising kids at the end of elementary school. Yet the better-off children of the 1946 cohort still outachieved equally bright working-class peers. The 1958 cohort was no different. One researcher looked at the most disadvantaged children of that group—those living in over-crowded homes with a single parent or four or more siblings—and published a book called “Born to Fail.” Policy makers were duly alarmed and eventually increased funds for early childhood education.

In their efforts have created a more equal society, the cohort studies have yet to reveal it. Ms. Pearson observes that infant mortality has plunged and children are now healthier, yet class differences still take children down separate life paths. Performance gaps continue to emerge very early in life and even widen during the school years, a “trajectory of disadvantage” that American researchers have confirmed repeatedly.

In the 2001 cohort study, very young poor kids had smaller vocabularies than wealthier ones. By school age, they were more hyperactive and had more emotional and learning

problems. Despite the rise in living standards, over 30% of them faced at least one of the childhood risks discovered in earlier studies, like domestic violence and parental alcoholism or depression.

Still, the notion that low-income children are “born to fail” turns out to be false. Over and over again, the cohort studies found that parents with high aspirations for their children “offer the first strongest buffer against disadvantage,” as Ms. Pearson writes. Providing “a good ‘learning environment’ at home”—reading to a child, singing songs, teaching the alphabet and numbers—was more sig-

nificant than “parents’ job, education, or income.”

One comes away from “The Life Project” with mixed feelings. The cohort studies stand as a triumph of scientific gumption and progress while also reminding us that, in Ms. Pearson’s words, the “same old questions go round and round like clothes in a washing machine.”

Threads of Life ••• Betty White •••

by Cleo LeVally

Saturday evening I turned on the television and the program that came on was showing a group that had Betty White in it. I did not watch it long enough to determine if Betty White was one of the characters or just a guest on the program because I immediately got to thinking how long I have watched her on television.

I lived in Los Angeles in the late 1940’s. Television was new and the only family that had a television set at that time was a family that kept my son after school until I could get

in from work. They had three children and she kept other children. Her family bought the first television set that I ever saw. She would not turn it on until about three o’clock in the afternoon, and that is when the kids and usually a member of their family would be on hand to watch a show.

In 1948 only 0.4 percent of the population had television sets. In 1954, 55.7 percent of the population had sets and four years later, in 1958, the percentage of the population with television sets had grown

I lived in Los Angeles from 1945 until 1950 and saw my first television programs at that time.

to 83.3 percent. No other household technology, not even indoor plumbing, grew so fast.

There was an afternoon talk show and Betty White was a member of the cast of the first television program that I ever watched.

She was a very pretty, black haired young lady about twenty-five years old and a great comedian.

There were many laughs on that show. We enjoyed the commercials almost as much as the programs as it was a new experience for us. The car show commercials were among my favorites because there was so much competition and the announcers always seemed to talk so fast and so loud, they always

One Pharmacist’s View Last week (Sunday) was Father’s Day. No, it’s not a “real” holiday. It’s just something that perhaps was dreamed up by the greeting card companies.

Well, at least that’s one theory that has been floated around--probably by a disgruntled father who has a 38-year-old son that moved back home for the free meals and no rent that comes along with a bed in the basement. I mean, a computer or smart phone works about as good in the basement as it does upstairs. And that’s the important thing.

A movie that came out a few months ago (Failure to Launch) features a couple whose boy simply came home after college and resumed his childhood ways of enjoying free room and board. And according to the figures this “failure” is happening more and more in our society.

This is not all that bad I guess. The adult child probably has a job and in rare cases even contributes to the expenses of house-

hold bliss. But this is not ever going to happen to me. I have some empty bedrooms in my house but the occupancy taxes will be (are) pretty high. If the returnee wants a lower rent we can start with an electric meter dedicated just to his room. As far as meals go we can work out a deal there. I figure most kids will (or should) visit 14 days a year. I furnish free meals anyway for them when they vacation back home so I will continue to furnish food equivalent to that expense as close as Pat can figure it up. Restroom and showers will be a courtesy of the parents (us). Naturally a child should be able to furnish sundries for themselves and that would include toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hairsprays and especially their own deodorant and cakes of soap.

F athers expect their grown children to own

their cars and for these cars to be reasonably new and not a neighborhood eyesore. Such cars need to be garaged at night and during hail storms. The returning siblings should expect another fee if they expect to use one of the spaces in my garage for their auto and/or boat. I will have nothing parked on the grass. The garbage as well as water and sewer will be figured in your room rent. Cable TV as well as high speed WI-FI are expensive these days and the idea of any “piggy backing” will be greeted by laughter.

T he father will continue to provide security as needed from irate and unpaid dope dealers, former spouses and bill collectors. Bullets and security cameras cost a lot these days but costs can be put on a per incident basis. Repos fights can be expensive--so make your

Light from God’s Word

Mark Legg Allen Church of Christ

A little boy said to his mother, “I am seven feet tall.” She asked him how he knew that and he replied, “Because I just measured myself with my own little ruler.” Now we adults shouldn’t laugh because many of us have our own “rulers” by which we measures ourselves. In fact, “measuring ourselves by our own little rulers” may be the most prevalent and damnable sin of man!

For example, aren’t we tempted to determine good and evil by our own standards? Few people search God’s Word to find out what is “good and evil” and instead we judge those things that we like to be good and if we do not like something, it is evil.

An act that is thought to be fornication by some people may be considered love by the “little ruler” of others. By our own individual “little rulers” we can worship God as we like and God approves. As some say, “Worship at the church of your choice.”

By my “little ruler” I can be homosexual or straight and either one will please God. By my “little ruler” whatever belief or religion I like is acceptable to

God. Are we not like the Israelites of whom God said they called “evil good, and good evil?” God said to them, “Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” (Isaiah 5:20-21) Today, there isn’t much of anything that is considered evil. Everything is ok and acceptable by our “little rulers.” I’m ok. You’re ok.

We have attempted to remake God into our own

viewing the cards and stuff I might make you a better deal if you ever have to move back. I mean, I don’t even have a basement.

You might think I am just envious of women because they really do make out on mother’s day. Perish the though. I think Father’s Day is just as important to people as Mother’s Day. It just needs a little more work

payments on your Dodge Ram which is just one of many living requirements you will encounter. No smoking allowed. No pets in the house except my grandchildren (legit or other). No drinking of hard liquor and naturally your church attendance is mandatory at a place of worship of my choice.

I think that about covers it. And let me take this opportunity to thank my adult children for their gifts, cards, phone calls and kind words this past Father’s day. After re-

Friends, let’s not be deceived! God is not like us and the truth is not determined by our own “little ruler.”

Atwood Baptist Church News

THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JUNE 23, 2016 - PAGE 8

There are reasons that our church hasn’t had any news in the paper for several weeks, but even the condensed version of the story will take a while, so you can skip to paragraph four if you need to save time.

First, my computer and printer began having problems on a dark and stormy night when I wasn’t here to unplug things. Lightning took the opportunity to damage them and take out the tv and the antenna as well. Oddly enough, the old 1976 harvest gold refrigerator is still chugging happily along.

Next, my mother had a couple of health problems develop so I stayed in Mooreland with her until she was able to move to Holdenville. She is liking it there and has enjoyed getting acquainted with her new neighbors.

I returned home to Robert, a yard full of flowers, a newly mown yard, and a computer and printer still refusing to have anything to do with one another or with the internet.

As of this week we’re back online so, unless I manage to hit the wrong button and delete it all, our church should be back in the news again.

T he Atwood Baptist youth returned from Falls Creek this weekend with that back-from-camp glow that is more than the heat waves from their sunburns.

During the past week 406 people made professions of faith, and four people from the Atwood cabin made public their spiritual decisions.

J ames Hammonds reported that more churches from other states are bringing their young people to Falls Creek. Many came from the states bordering Oklahoma of course, but there were also churches from as far away as Tennessee and Ohio.

During the worship ser-

vice this Sunday Joyce Searcy sang “Daddy’s Hands” in honor of Father’s Day. As always, she sang beautifully and it is a song be all love. Still, it must be as difficult to sing that song without a few tears as it is for the rest of us to listen without tears as one memory quickly follows another.

K evin Duck was our guest speaker this morning. He preached on how America can be saved.

Basing his sermon on the 17th chapter of 1 Samuel, he contended that churches in America today are like the Army of Israel when they faced the Philistine’s and their most feared weapon, a giant named Goliath. Like them we have taken our eyes off God and are trusting only in what we see.

We are called to know Christ and make Him known to others, to make disciples, to minister to those in need, to be the City on a Hill. Indeed, we are to be the salt of the earth. If we made real sacrifices of our time, money, and effort to fulfill this calling what would our churches be like?

C hristians are ready to fight other denominations or those in our own churches. What if the people of Christ fought the devil instead of fighting one another?

David was a kid with faith and courage. Each Christian has that faith within themselves, too.

They just need to learn how to walk courageously in that faith. We don’t have to fight the devil according to his rules, and with the devil’s kind of weapons.

We have the Spirit of God within us and the Bible on our smart phones.

Be aware that, like Goliath, the devil isn’t afraid of us when we stand up.

It is when we step out in God’s plan that we can win the spiritual battles

we are called to fight.

Like Goliath, man’s ways can’t win when they come up against God. Goliath died by his own sword after he was felled by a stone from David’s sling. Those who use the devil’s tools, we will also be destroyed

by those tools.

God’s solutions do not lead us to become immobilized by huge problems.

If the churches seek God’s leadership they will often find that God is leading them, as He lead David, to find out-of-the box so-

lutions to the problem. It is then time to faithfully follow God’s plan and to approach the battle with courage and strong faith.

Charlotte turns 3

Charlotte Bullard turned three and was guest of honor at a birthday celebration this past Saturday.

Wayne and Pat Bullard drove to Oklahoma City that morning to help celebrate Charlotte Bullard’s third birthday. The big party was held in the home of Ron and Linda Smith, the maternal grandparents.

Expertly grilled hamburgers were served by her Grandpa and Grandma Smith which complimented a sumptuous buffet featuring a feast in the sort of things you wish you had to eat. Later, Miss Charlotte opened her “great haul” of presents before everyone gathered around the big special birthday cake, which was also delicious.

Those present to help Miss Charlotte celebrate included her parents, Steve and Courtney Bullard, her sister Francesca, and cousin Elli Smith. Also attending were Ron and Linda Smith, Tyler and Leslie Smith, Wayne and Pat Bullard, Dr. Renetta Reeves, Braden Bullard and Leigh Ann Smith.
