My answer to this gentleman is I haven’t seen many Democrats in recent years that were worth patting on the back. My other comment is, kind sir, the Party no longer has a leader worth following. And trust, I have issues with some Republicans as well.

Stepping it back, let’s just look at a few Democratic leaders and Democrats the Party holds in high esteem.

Remember when Donna Brazil gave Hillary Clinton the questions to be asked in a presidential debate? (She had the questions in advance as a moderator.)

Bill Clinton, a well respected Democratic leader, just happened to meet with an attorney general while his wife was under investigation. Just one of his many indiscretions.

Barack Obama, a sitting president, accused of wiretapping a presidential candidate of the opposing party in the primary.

Then there’s James Comey, the former FBI Director (a closet Democrat), who handed out immunity to persons in a criminal investigation.

And let’s not forget Adam Schiff. I’ll let that one stand on its own, as well as AOC, Pelosi and Schumer.

I could go on and on, but let’s move on. Give me one

Gabbard did qualify for the upcoming debate, but missed out on the last one.

In an August interview with Tucker Carlson she said, “Really what they (the voters) see is a small group of really powerful political elites in the establishment making decisions that serve their interests and maintaining their power while the rest of us are left outside.

The American people are left behind.”

New tool available from SAFE to link assault victims to resources Seek Then Speak, a new tool to support sexual assault victims, is now available as a free resource f or B on d , Fay e tt e , Effingham, Clinton, Marion, Clay, Washington, J e f f e r s o n , Wa y n e , Hamilton and White counties. It is part of a new initiative brought to the community by SAFE. Seek Then Speak helps assault victims engage with local recovery and reporting resources. This web, phone, or mobile app helps survivors gather information, explore options, and take action when they’re ready.

Seek Then Speak is available in many languages to increase victim access. If they choose, victims can begin the process of reporting the crime directly to law enforcement and can request

supportive services from victim advocacy. The program helps close gaps in service delivery and promotes justice and healing.

“As few as one in five sexual assault victims report the crime,” said Lisa Metcalf, Medical/ Legal Advocate for SAFE. “To help victims recover and support their participation in the criminal justice process, we need to make it easier for them to reach out for help. Seek Then Speak links victims to the professionals who stand ready to serve them.”

Seek Then Speak was developed to help end the silence for sexual assault victims. Victims and their support people connect to Seek Then Speak by web, phone, or mobile app. The program engages them

with gradual, supportive dialogue prompts, using an intelligent communication platform. The process helps survivors better understand what happened and explore their options, while remaining anonymous until they choose to make direct contact with law enforcement or victim advocates.

“Through Seek Then Speak, survivors have a safe way to make sense of their experience and decide what their next steps will be,” Lisa said.

“They learn they are not alone, and that help is available. Then they can reach out for that help if they choose, but only if and when they are ready.”

This new tool works in partnership with an agency platform called Victim Link, which was co-developed by Voice

and End Violence Against Women International (EVAWI). Victim Link combines technology and education to improve community responses to sexual assault. The programs also coordinate with Start by Believing, the campaign that prepares friends and family members to respond appropriately to a sexual assault disclosure.

SAFE is a sexual assault center, serving Bond, Clay, Clinton, Effingham, Fay e t t e , Ha m i l t o n , Jef ferson, Marion, Washington, Wayne and White Counties. This non-profit agency provides services for sexual assault victims and their families regardless of their age, race, sex, or sexual preference. SAFE’s website is:www.safecrisiscenter. org

Red Ribbon Week is October 23 – 31, 2019 The Red Ribbon Campaign® is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation, reaching millions of young people during Red Ribbon Week®, October 23 – October 31 each year.

Red Ribbon Week is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs.

Show your personal commitment to a drug-free lifestyle through the symbol of the Red Ribbon, October 23 - 31st.

The Red Ribbon Campaign® was started when drug traffickers in Mexico City murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena in 1985. This began the continuing tradition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance

towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign® is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG - FREE AMERICA. National Family Partnership is the sponsor of the National Red Ribbon Week® Celebration. NFP created the first National Red Ribbon Campaign in 1988 and continues to do so each year. A theme slogan, selected from submissions from students and families across the US, unifies each year’s campaign and helps to broadcast one message, creating a tipping point to change behavior. This year’s theme is “Send A Message. Stay Drug Free.”

Ways to talk with your child about alcohol and other drugs Conversations are one of the most powerful tools parents can use to connect with — and protect — their kids.

But, when tackling some of life’s tougher topics, especially those about drugs and alcohol, just figuring out what to say can be a challenge. Here are some tips to remember: • Always keep conversations open and honest.

• Come from a place of love, even when you’re having tough conversations.

• Balance positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement.

• Keep in mind that teachable moments come up all of the time — be mindful of natural places for the conversation to go in order to broach the topic of drugs and alcohol.

Talk to your kids about the drug-related messages they receive through advertisements, the news media and entertainment sources. Ask your kids how they feel about the things they’ve heard — you’ll learn a great deal about what they’re thinking. Help children separate reality from fantasy. Watch TV and movies with them and ask lots of questions to reinforce the distinction between the two.

Remember to include advertising in your discussions, as those messages are especially powerful.

Keep your discussions about substances focused on the present — long-term consequences are sometimes too distant to have any meaning. Talk about the differences between the medicinal uses and illegal uses of drugs, and

how drugs can negatively impact the families and friends of people who use them.

Set clear rules and explain the reasons for your rules.

If you use tobacco or alcohol, be mindful of the message you are sending to your children. Make sure your child knows your rules — and that you’ll enforce the consequences if rules are broken. Research shows that kids are less likely to use tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs if their parents have established a pattern of setting clear rules and consequences for breaking those rules. Kids who are not regularly monitored by their parents are four times more likely to use drugs. Kids who don’t know what to say when someone offers them drugs are more likely to give in to peer pressure. Let her know that she can always use you as an excuse and say: “No, my mom [or dad, aunt, etc.] will kill me if I smoke a cigarette.”

Work on problem solving: Help them find long-lasting solutions to homework trouble, a fight with a friend, or in dealing with a bully. Be sure to point out that quick fixes are not long-term solutions. Give your kids the power to escape from situations that make them feel bad. Make sure they know that they shouldn’t stay in a place that makes them feel uncomfortable or bad about themselves.

Also let them know that they don’t need to stick with friends who don’t support them.

Feelings of insecurity, doubt and pressure may creep in during puberty. Offset those feelings with a lot of posi-

tive comments about who he is as an individual — and not just when he brings home an A. Show interest in and discuss your child’s daily ups and downs. You’ll earn your child’s trust, learn how to talk to each other, and won’t take your child by surprise when you voice a strong point of view about drugs.

Preteens and many teens aren’t concerned with future problems that might result from experimentation with tobacco, alcohol or other drugs, but they are concerned about their appearance — sometimes to the point of obsession. Remind them about the negative effects alcohol, tobacco and other drugs have on physical appearance.

Get to know your child’s friends — and their friends’ parents. Check in by phone or a visit once in awhile to make sure they are on the same page with prohibiting drug or alcohol use, particularly when their home is to be used for a party or sleepover.

SPONSORED BY:

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A changing situation calls for a change in plans. Although you might prefer the schedule you had already worked up, you could do better by agreeing to make the needed adjustments.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That once seemingly rock-solid proposition you favored might be hiding some serious flaws. Take time to check it more carefully and question anything that seems out of kilter.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Finish up those lingering tasks so that you can then arrange to spend some time in quiet reflection. This will go a long way in restoring both your physical and spiritual energies.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A family situation could heat up and boil over unless you deal with it as soon as possible. Try to persuade other family members to work with you to help cool things down.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Cheer up, Kitty Cat! That low feeling will begin to ebb by midweek, and you should be back in the social swirl in time for the weekend. A long-postponed deal could be starting up again.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Going too fast and too far on too little knowledge could be risky. Best to slow down and check for any gaps in your information. It’s what you don’t know that could hurt you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Trying to make peace among quarreling family members, friends or

colleagues can be tough. Expect some resistance, maybe even some expressions of resentment. But stay with it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Changing your mind doesn’t have to be a problem once you realize that you might have good and sufficient cause to do so. Make your explanations clear and complete. Good luck.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) An unkept promise can be irksome and easily raise the Archer’s ire. But instead of getting into a confrontation, take time to check why someone you relied on came up short.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A new workplace distraction creates an unnecessary delay. The sooner you deal with it, the better for all concerned. A personal matter also should be attended to as soon as possible.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Once again, the Aquarian’s gift for applying both practical and creative methods to resolve a situation makes all the difference. Personal relationships thrive during the weekend.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A relationship appears to be losing its once-strong appeal for reasons that might be different from what you think. An open and honest talk could lead to some surprising revelations.

The Blessings of Obedience Recently on Facebook, I saw this statement, “God has a habit of picking nobodies and making them somebodies without consulting anybody.” When Israel clamored to have a king like the nations around them, God relented and raised up an obscure nobody by the name of Saul and made him a somebody — the first king of Israel.

God greatly blessed Saul and gave him many victories. Unfortunately, Saul began to disobey and rebel against God’s Word. God sent Saul and his army against the Amalekites and instructed Saul to completely destroy them and all of their livestock. But Saul disobeyed God and kept the best of the sheep for himself. God sent the prophet Samuel to confront Saul. Saul’s excuse was that he kept the best of the sheep to offer animal sacrifices in worship to God. Samuel said, “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is

better than sacrifice and to heed than the fat of rams.

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he also has rejected you from being king.” (I Samuel 15:22-23) Saul lost the blessing and favor of God because of disobedience and rebellion.

Samuel’s word to King Saul is referenced at least ten times in scripture concerning how to please God. Jesus lived in obedience to the Father and made the ultimate sacrifice on the cross. (Hebrews 10:5-10) Consider some of the blessings of obedience to God. OBEDIENCE IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF WORSHIP. King Saul claimed that he kept back the sheep and oxen to worship God with. But God says, “Obedience is better than sacrifice.” (I Samuel 15:22-23) At one time Lucifer led the angelic host in worship. But his rebellion expelled him from the presence of God. God seeks those who will worship him in “spirit and truth.” (John 4:23-24) OBEDIENCE RESULTS

IN INTIMACY WITH GOD. “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears you have opened.”

(Psalm 40:6-8; 51:16-17) Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice and will not follow a stranger.” (John 10:4-5) Obedience makes you a friend of God. (John 15:14; Revelation 3:20) OBEDIENCE ASSURES YOU OF GOD’S PRESENCE. “Terror will grip them, for God is with those who obey him.” (Psalm 14:5 NLT) Even if you are thrown in a fiery furnace, God will be with you like he was with the three

Hebrew children who refused to worship another God. OBEDIENCE QUALIFIES YOU FOR THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. “But Peter said, ‘We ought to obey God rather than men . . . so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.’”

(Acts 5:26-32) Faith and obedience will release the Holy Spirit to work through your life.

OBEDIENCE IS A TESTIMONY TO THE WORLD. “For your obedience has become known to all.” (Romans 16:19) When

7 one “walks the talk” and practices what they preach, it becomes an undeniable and powerful testimony to the world.

OBEDIENCE BRINGS PROSPERIT Y AND HEALING. “If you be willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land.” (Isaiah 1:11-20) I prayed for a man who had back problems. A few days later he called me and said, “Pastor, after I obeyed the Lord in a certain situation, my back was totally healed.”

Jesus put a mud pack on a blind man’s eye and told him to go and wash in the pool of Siloam. As the man

obeyed, he came back seeing. Obedience to God will bring prosperity and healing.

Experience the blessings in obedience. The old hymn reminds us “Trust and obey. For there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, than to trust and obey.”

Look to Jesus, who, in obedience to his heavenly Father, willingly laid down his life on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.

LOOKING FOR A CHURCH HOME? YOU’VE FOUND IT WITH US. Sermon Summary: October 13, 2019 Sermon Title: “When The Ox Stumbles”

See 2 Samuel 6: 2-7 The ox represents the flesh and the ark represents the Holy Spirit.

There was a delicate balance between the Ox and the Ark. And when it looked like that balance was being tilted, Uzzah stuck his hands where they did not belong.

We are faced with that same challenge. There is a delicate balance between the flesh and the Holy Spirit, and we have to be careful when we operating in the realm of the Holy Spirit.

But the real problem in this story started over 20 years prior. In 1 Samuel chapter 4, starting with verse 3 we read where the Israelite’s, under King Saul rule, were losing a battle with the Philistines. So they decided to go get the Ark of the Covenant and take it out onto the battlefield.

They were basically using the Ark as a good luck charm.

They got this idea from when Joshua took the Ark into the battle of Jericho. However, GOD told Joshua to take the Ark into battle. These elders just decided on their own to do so.

And when they mis-used the presence of God, God allowed them to be defeated. But, also in the process the Ark was taken captive. In essence, they lost the Holy Spirit of God!

Halloween Treats

Centralia American Legion 117 S. Poplar Centralia, Illinois

Make sure your family and friends get plenty of treats this Halloween. Below are some of my family favorites.

s ’ y f f e t SSpectacular 99th

6 medium apples 2 cups sugar 1 cup water

Candied Apples

6 wooden skewers or sticks 2/3 cup light corn syrup Red food coloring

Wash and dry apples. Remove stem from each and insert a wooden skewer securely in its place. In a small heavy saucepan, dissolve sugar and corn syrup in water over medium heat. Raise heat and boil rapidly until syrup reaches 300° on a candy thermometer — the hard crack stage. (No thermometer? Drop a little of the mixture into very cold water; when removed, it will crack when tapped sharply.) Remove from heat and stir in enough food coloring to give a bright rosy color. Place saucepan in a large pan of hot water. Holding each apple by its skewer, dip into syrup until completely coated; place on a greased tray or cookie sheet to harden. Makes 6 candied apples.

Popcorn Balls

Combine corn syrup and sugar in a large heavy saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring.

Remove from heat and add gelatin, stirring until dissolved. Stir in peanuts and popcorn and mix well. When cool enough to handle, shape into balls with lightly buttered hands. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and tie with orange ribbon or yard. Makes 12 popcorn balls.

Goblin Cookies

1 cup butter 1 egg 1¾ cups flour 1 tsp. salt 3 cups quick-cooking oats (uncooked)

STORE HOURS MON. - FRI. 9 A.M. TO 5:30 P.M. SATURDAYS 9 A.M. - 5 P.M.

Cream butter until soft; gradually add brown sugar, beating until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together; gradually stir into egg mixture.

Stir in milk and oatmeal: mix well and chill for a few hours. Roll out dough on a sheet of waxed paper until a little less than 1/4 inch thick. With a jack-o'-lantern cutter, cut out cookies and place about 1 inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Use raisins to make eyes, nose and mouth on each cookie. Bake in a preheated 375° oven 10 minutes. Makes about 40 cookies.

NOTE: Not all of the cookies need be shaped as jack-o'-lanterns. Try a variety of cookie cutters to bring out all the goblins, cats, witches and ghosts.

1 cup coarsely chopped peanuts 3 quarts popped popcorn (about 3/4 cup unpopped)

Heat oil to 375° in a large saucepan or deep skillet. Drop batter into oil by scant teaspoonfuls - do not overcrowd.
