Fundraiser for local ministry is a succsss

TRI-CITY REPORTER WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2013

BY CRYSTAL BURNS State Senator John Stevens rallied Gibson County Republicans, encouraging members to remain energized locally despite divides within the national GOP. Sen. Stevens, a Republican from Huntingdon, is in his first term representing District 24. He was the keynote speaker at the Gibson County Republican Party’s annual Reagan Dinner held last Thursday in Humboldt.

The rookie senator didn’t shy away from problems plaguing the national Republican Party but focused on unity within the county party. “We’ve got some public airing of dirty laundry going on within our party,� he said. “It’s important at the local level that we have a unified party. We don’t want to have these difficulties that they have in Washington.�

The senator touted the work legislators have done in the Tennessee General Assembly - helping Tennessee achieve the lowest debt ratio in the nation, setting state records for exporting, making the state fourth in the nation in job growth, and reducing sales tax on food.

The state is also making investments in education that should help further job growth, Stevens said. see page 3

Community Helpers’ Day held at Rutherford School

BY LORI CATHEY Students in grades kindergarten through eighth grade at Rutherford School have been busy learning about community helpers.

The students received visits from various community helpers at the school last week for Community Helpers’ Day. A community helper is anyone in the community who helps others by providing a service. The students had the opportunity to learn about the various services provided to the public and how they relate to their hometown. They also got to explore the emergency vehicles.

It is important for students to understand that there are people with different types of jobs that help the community in many ways.

For the past three years Keith Cardwell has organized the events for Community Helpers Day for Rutherford School. “It helps the first responders for the kids to see the equipment and to meet them in case of an emergency. Students are able to identify community workers and associate them with a vehicle,� said Cardwell.

Rutherford Fire Department let students looked inside a fire truck, and sit in the driver’s seat. Rutherford Assistant Chief Rob Rahm, Captain John Stafford and firefighter Timmy Taylor walked everyone around the truck and showed the important tools used by firefighters to save lives and see page 2

Safe Halloween

‘A Night of Hope,’ the celebration and fundraiser for Gibson County Christian Women’s Job Corp was held on Tuesday, October 15 at First Baptist Church, Trenton. The night included a fashion show, salad supper and silent auction.

Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the ministry opportunities that they could become a part of. Examples of those opportunities range from volunteering at the ministry’s thrift store, Twice Blessed, or donating money or items to the store, all the way to becoming a Bible study teacher or even mentoring a lady who is going through the CWJC program. Many were surprised to learn that the ministry can benefit see page 3

Newman named Dyer’s new city attorney Mayor Chris Younger has selected Newman and Webb as Dyer’s new city attorneys.

With the resignation of City Attorney Jennifer DeenMcEwen, Brandon Newman will take over as the city’s new attorney. Jimbo Webb attended the October 14th meeting and was introduced to the board during the meeting. It was announced at the last meeting that Jennifer Deen–McEwen had taken a job with the Attorney General’s office.

The October 14th meeting was her last meeting.

Those present for the meeting were Mayor Chris Younger, Alderpersons Judy Baker, Richard Reed, Belinda Oliver, Michael Barron, Robert Johnson, Bitsy Gilliland, Joe Gathings, and Marilyn Williamson.

City Attorney Webb and City Attorney Deen-McEwen were also present.

Younger announced that Capt. Knott Bailey has recently completed 15 years service with the city of Dyer. In recognition of this fact Mayor Younger presented Bailey with a plaque commemorating his years of service.

David McEwen was among the visitors attending the meeting. McEwen asked the board to consider an adjustment on his water bill for 141 Monroe. He stated that a long-term leak had caused his bills to be unusually high. Johnson made a motion to adjust McEwen’s bill by averaging three regular months. The motion was approved.

Hill Rogers reported to the board on behalf of the Friends of Gibson County and the West Tennessee Expo Center. The Expo Center has hosted several events in the last few months. Rogers reported more than $11,000 in contributions. More events are scheduled.

Insight & Opinion Lying takes more effort than the truth

Clayburn Peeples reports: “Did you think,” my lovely young wife said accusingly, “that I wouldn’t find out about you eating one of the Halloween candy bars in the living room?”

She didn’t know it, (or maybe she did) but she was using one of the classic interrogation techniques employed by criminal investigators when questioning suspects believed to be practicing deception.

It’s called the “Forced Response” technique, and it involves asking a suspect a question that appears, on its face, to have only two answers. In reality, however, alternate, innocent, responses are also available. The classic example of a Forced Response question is, “Have you stopped beating your husband?” No wait; I’ve got that backwards; it’s “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

The Forced Response question often exposes people practicing deception,

heavier. Lying, even though some people do it superbly, takes a lot of effort to do.

Because of that, a dishonest person is more likely than an honest one to hesitate before answering a Forced Response question.

Either that or to reflexively choose one of the proffered alternatives.

A truthful person, on the other hand, not suffering from cognitive overload, isn’t wrestling with all those inconsistencies the liar has to overcome. He or she is able to easily and quickly seek and find an alternative response that exposes the question for what it is and simply conveys facts. “I’ve never beaten my wife,” the innocent man might say.

That’s another characteristic of innocent people.

They deny accusations directly and promptly. If, for example, a man came home and his wife accused him of violating the house rules by, first, eating in the living room, and second, snacking before dinner, the innocent husband would respond at once with something like, “I didn’t eat a candy bar in the living room or anyplace else!”

A guilty man, on the other hand, would probably hesitate before answering, possibly clearing his throat, all the while calculating the danger involved in his

because when people are trying to deceive others, their mental plates are full to overflowing. This makes it very difficult for them to come up with a “safe” dishonest response to a new question about their suspected actions.

Think about it. When you are lying, you have to remember everything you’ve said about the subject under consideration and everything you failed to say as well. You have to monitor both your verbal and your nonverbal responses to all questions, and you also have to closely observe the person or persons to whom you are lying, to make sure they are buying your lies. Talk about cognitive overload.

So the mind, thus, of a lying person is usually operating at near, if not over, full capacity, particularly if the stakes are high, and when that person is asked a Forced Response question his or her load gets even

strategy, but what about a diversionary tactic, perhaps a little indignation at being accused, something like, “Do you actually think I would do something like that? I’m trying to lose weight.”

Perhaps, “Did it ever occur to you that one of our weekend guests might have. . . .” No, that won’t work for two reasons. First, anytime someone answers an accusation with “Did it ever occur to you . . . ” they are almost always lying, and second, at this point I haven’t figured out how she caught me. Did I leave the wrapper somewhere?

Crumbs on the couch? Did one of my darling angel babies fink on me? Better stick with, “Now why would I do something like

that?”

The problem now is, however, that I have taken so long to formulate a response that she says, “Well? What’s your answer?”

“Well,” I replied weakly, and was about to suggest that perhaps Stella, our black and white hybrid dog had somehow gotten up on the Halloween candy counter and stolen some of it when I was interrupted by my fiveyear-old daughter, Sarah, marching proudly into the kitchen, holding a wrapper high above her head.

“I accuse Daddy of committing the crime in the living room with the Kit-Kat bar,” she said triumphantly.

Rats! Busted by a fiveyear-old. I knew it was a mistake to teach them how to play Clue.

Community Helpers’ Day from page 1 put out fires.

Captain Stafford said, “The public needs to know how important it is for us to come and discuss fire safety to our youth.”

Gibson County Station 9 Rescue firefighters brought a rescue truck and a service company. GCFD Station 9 Chief John Baker, and firefighters Jeff Gray and Tim Haislip showed the students tools that are used to carry out rescues of people from traffic collisions or structural collapses. They carry an array of special equipment such as the Jaws of Life, cribbing, generators, winches, hi-lift jacks and other forms of heavy equipment unavailable on standard trucks.

Gibson County Emergency Management

Agency Director Ricky Graves talked about how the agencies coordinate the response to a disaster that overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities.

Rutherford Police and Gibson County Sheriff Department talked with the students about the importance of wearing their seat belts and the students also had the opportunity to see inside their patrol cars.

Rutherford Chief of Police Mike Hensley handed out books on tips to help stop bullying.

Gibson County EMS and Air Evac Lifeteam let the students walk into the ambulance and helicopter to look around at all the equipment and ask any questions they had. Central Control 911 Operators Anna Davis and Gail Wallace

talked to the student about when you should call 911. It is important that every person understands how and when to call for emergency services, regardless of age.

Nick Hellums and Matt Taylor of Mid-South Storm Chasers let the students look at all the special equipment inside their storm chaser car.

Mid-South Storm Chasers is a storm chasing team out of Memphis. The team gave a great presentation on tornado safety with the whole school.

Rutherford principle Jody Hinson said, “We had such a great time with these community helpers. We would like to thank all of our visitors for taking time out of their busy schedules to tell us what they do. Also, the students had a chance to meet our local heroes here in our community.”

response and the possibility of success he might have with some sort of deceptive, diversionary stratagem such as, “Well, I was in court over the lunch hour, and . . .”

No, any trained investigator will tell you that anytime someone begins an answer to a “yes or no” question with the word, “well,” the answer is probably going to be either dishonest or dissimulating.

Starting such an answer with the word, “well” usually means the answer is ultimately going to be that the answerer either didn’t do what he or she was supposed to or that they did something they shouldn’t have.

Even my infant daughters have figured that out, so I quickly discarded that

The last time these were purchased, they were about $150 each. Johnson made a motion to authorize $650 for the purchase of clamps.

The motion was approved with all in favor.

Tucker also stated that the city and gravel supply was very low. A motion was made by Reed to buy a load of sand and gravel at a price not to exceed $650. The motion was approved.

In the water and sewer department, Superintendent William Caton stated that after an examination of the manhole at Martha Phelan’s yard as well as smoke testing, he recommends raising the manhole and making spot repairs in the sewer main. A motion was made by Williamson to repair the Phelan manhole and holes in the yard at a cost not to exceed $1000.

The motion was approved with all in favor.

Caton advised that the new submersible pump should be here no later than eight weeks from now.

Water and sewer committee chairperson Williamson advised that with contingency money in the recently awarded water and sewer grant, a smoke machine could be purchased. Outside contractors charge as much as $.30 per foot, and the city of Dyer can purchase a

smoke machine for $1520.

Mayor Younger explained how smoke machines can be used in sewer line testing.

A motion was made by Williamson to purchase a smoke machine for $1520.

The motion was approved with al in favor. Williamson clarified that the smoke machine will be purchased after grant funds are received.

In the Public Safety committee report, Chairperson Baker stated that Fire Chief Roger Worrell is checking on prices of equipment to purchase using the funds donated by the Anderson’s.

In the water and sewer committee, Chairperson Williamson thanked the members of the street department and water and sewer department for the work recently completed at the Kinton house.

Finance and administration committee Chairperson Baker stated that Hunter Simmons has now worked for the city for 90 days and is eligible for state retirement. A motion was made by Baker to increase Simmons’s hourly pay to $7.96 an hour.

Mayor Younger stated that it is his intention to institute new committees in January. He asked for any recommendations or input from the board of mayor and aldermen.

Motions were made and approved to pay several

Fundraiser for local ministry is a success from page 1 from community members doing something as simple as bringing ink cartridges to the store to recycle.

It was emphasized that the Twice Blessed Thrift Store is not the entire ministry, but is a contact point.

Misconceptions like the idea that only ladies who are program participants may shop at Twice Blessed Thrift Store and that the store only sells women’s clothing were some of the myths that were burst.

“We need everyone to shop there! The money that the store takes in helps the ministry and, in turn, women right here in this community. This is a ministry that seeks to share hope through Jesus and to purposefully invest in women’s lives,” Candace Criswell, Advisory Board Chair, said.

Upwards of 150 people from several different denominations made up the crowd.

“Everyone who came out made this a blessed event. The

support of the community for this ministry has been overwhelming,” said CWJC Assistant Site Coordinator, Jennifer Cross.

Christy Skelton, Site Coordinator, added, “Thanks to everyone who had a part in our ‘Night of Hope.’ It wouldn’t have been so special without each person who attended.”

Skelton reported that the total amount raised was $3550.

The Gibson County CWJC leadership is exceedingly grateful, not only to those volunteers who put the night together and the ladies who provided an abundance of excellent food, but also to the very generous business people who donated to the silent auction and to those attendees who gave so freely to the ministry.

“It was an honor serving God alongside this amazing team,” Cross concluded.

Dyer School ‘Pink Out’ basketball game is Oct. 28

BY WILLIAM G. MCFARLAND A large number of Pink Out activities have been held during October, all for the purpose of raising money to help promote Breast Cancer Awareness.

We’ve seen these activities on the TV screen, in the news media, in t-shirts, in socks, in bracelets, in scarves. People have dressed in pink ranging from a ‘smidgen’ of pink to ‘all out’ pink attire.

The Dyer School Relay for Life team, Dyer School, coaches, players, and cheerleaders are hosting a Pink Out Basketball Game October 28 where pink will be the major dress.

The Dyer Eagles will be playing Medina; these games will be important for the schools, but more important will be the promotion of Breast Cancer Awareness.

Throughout the day students will be wearing t-shirts the relay team sold. Mingled with the excitement of the games will be the selling of pink scarves donated by Evelyn Rawdon, Hope and Faith

necklaces, and Hope and Faith bacelets.

Door prizes will be given away throughout the night as well as a Jiffy Clothes Steamer.

“That’s really everyone’s No. 1 issue.”

He noted that three of the counties he represents: Gibson, Carroll, and Weakley are in the top six counties in the state in unemployment rates.

“We’ve got our work to do,” he said.

Sen. Stevens grew up in Gallatin in Middle Tennessee. He went to school at the University of

Tennessee at Martin where he was a college Republican.

“It was slim in Weakley County at that time,” he recalled. “As Republicans, we’ve seen a lot of good things happen in the last 20 years.

We’ve had a lot of growth in the party. We can’t lose those values and principles of individual responsibility, fiscal conservatism, and social conservatism. We’re about ordered liberty and self-government.”

Stevens encouraged attendees to be as active in

a very important day in the history of Dyer School. Join the activities that night and be a part of three wins—two basketball games and the fight against breast cancer. You will be glad you did.

“It’s so critical that you remain energized for someone running for Register of Deeds or Court Clerk or Chancellor,” he said.

“You can help by remaining active.”

Mark Renfroe, Chairman of the Gibson County Republican Party, invited candidates in the 2014 elections to speak.

Rodney Wright, of Yorkville, announced his bid for the Gibson County Sheriff position. Lt. Wright is an investigator with the Newbern Police Dept. and is a Special Agent with the West Tennessee Drug Task Force.

2014 will mark the first time county Republicans have called for a primary for Sheriff, he said.

State Rep. Joe Carr, who represents the 48th District, is running for U.S. Senate. He also spoke to divisions in the national Republican Party.

“We let issues divide us, but principles will unite us,” he said. “What are your fundamental founding principles? What will you fight for? What appears to be in vain is never, ever, ever in vain when you are fighting for what’s right.”

Community Living The Grapevine By Sarah Skinner

Bethpage By Joyce Brown Have you turned your heat on yet? I finally had to on Saturday. It wasn’t my fault, my little dog was shivering. Good football weather and that proved true Friday night as our Pioneer players were fired up and played an awesome game coming out with a big win.

The band put on an exciting show as well.

Sunday service began with Janice and Tina playing a beautiful arrangement of ‘El Shaddai.’ Our call to worship was ‘Worthy of Worship’ and the welcome hymn was ‘Soon and Very Soon.’ Bro. Jeff talked to the Preacher’s Pals on the subject of ‘Wisdom.’ They are little folks but it is never too early to begin their instruction in Biblical truths. Charles had our special music singing an accapella version of Psalms 27.

Bro. Jeff continued his sermon series from the book of James. His main text was James 5:14,15 on the subject ‘What is the Church?’ He quoted eleven other references to emphasize his message.

He’s making real good Bible drillers out of us older folks.

His night sermon was from 2 Peter 1:16-21.

The Griggs and Selph families are excited to announce the arrival of little Miss Ava Jo on October

15. Mom and baby (also Daddy) are doing great.

Gary and Becky Jo say she is definitely worth the wait.

Congratulations to all.

Jo Griggs returned from her trip in time for the big event. She had met Brenda and Jo Ledsinger in New England for a Fall tour of the sites in that area.

We are also glad to have Dan and Jane Hardin back from their extended trip to the Western United States and Canada. They were gone about two months and I’m sure they missed all the gardening etc, especially the pea peeling!

Hey everybody! We will be having a bonfire, weinee roast, marshmallow burning and all the other good stuff at Bethpage next Sunday afternoon beginning at 5 p.m. Following the eating, the hay wagon will load up and go for a chilly ride.

It is always a ton of fun, so come join us. You can bring hot dogs, buns and other things to go with the chow. Oh, and also a big coat or blanket. The weather forecast shows low temps but the fire should warm everyone.

Quote from Sunday: Some churches think more of themselves than God thinks of them, according to the Scriptures. Think about it.

See you next week.

His topic: The God’s Minister was found in 2 Corinthians 6:3-7. The St. Paul male chorus provided the music. Lunch was served immediately after service.

At 3 p.m. Pastor Al Seward and Badget chapel C.P. Church of Rutherford were our special guest. Pastor Seward delivered a spirit filled message. His topic “Keep Preaching.� Spreading the good news was found in 2 Corinthians 7: 7-10, 18.

The senior choir provided the music. The spirit was high and we had wonderful fellowship.

Several visitors were present including some of Rev. Skinner’s college friends and family member. She was so grateful to Pastor Pounds, members of St. Paul visitors and friends for making her day special.

Regular service was held at St. Paul Sunday morning beginning with Sunday school.

Bro. Chris says we get to experience blessings all the time. So many people put in our way. New people sharing, singing, and a beautiful fall picture Elizabeth placed on our screen.

spoke on ways of growing from verses 1 through 3, the chief corner stone verses 4-8.

We are like living stones. The people of God are special people if we are Christians (verses 9 and 10).

October 27th is our Harvest Festival starting at 5 p.m. Finger foods, fun, and fellowship.

For their next mission project the Little Disciples will be collecting soft drink tabs.

These tabs are to go toward expenses incurred by the families of children who are patients at St. Jude. No family is charged for their lodging or meals while their child is in St. Jude. Places like the Ronald McDonald House and the Target House use these tabs to cover expenses. Start saving today.

Take care and go to church where you hear God’s word, find solutions for today’s living, develop your spiritual gifts, and form relationships that will strengthen and sustain you in the hard times.

White of Memphis, and Ladonna White and daughter worship with us. We were also glad to have Minister Jasmin Williams in service at St. Paul. She had not been in a while.

Love and sympathy is extended to the families of Phillip Bailey of Huntingdon, Katrina Vaughn of St. Louis Monday and will be buried at West Side Cemetery in Kenton Tuesday.

Lil Sarah stayed on campus this weekend, and she attended church service in Memphis with friends. As long as she’s in a Bible teaching, Jesus teaching church service, I’m satisfied.

Michelle Skinner worked in Reykyavik, Iceland last week. She was amazed at that part of the world. I thank God that He takes care of her in all of her traveling.

Those having birthdays this week are Rev. Timothy white, Penny Albea and Justin White. We wish them all a happy birthday.

Patricia Porter, Cathy Bailey, Paulette Mays, Mary Warren and others attended Revival at Pilgrim Rest M.B. Church in Union City where Pastor Tim Rogers was the Evangelist. They reported very good service and a packed house.

God bless and have a good week.

With her home donning the colorful fall decor throughout, Kaley Jo Barrett was honored with a party celebrating her 7th birthday last Saturday afternoon! Her parents, Jeff and Brooke Barrett hosted the party that was attended by several family and friends. Kaley and her guests enjoyed a delicious meal of salad, spaghetti, garlic bread, cake or cupcakes and ice cream. She was then showered with many lovely gifts that delighted the happy honoree! Happy belated birthday Kaley Jo! Going back to her spiritual roots, Cindy Lamar attended the Dyer Assembly of God Church with her friends, Faith Wigdor and Tiffany Thomason.

The church youth sponsored a fundraiser for Missions via a Soup and Chili Cookoff. Their eager diners tasted the offerings of each cook’s pot and voted on their favorites with their monetary donations. Winners were presented certificates and a gold or silver spoon or ladle for the greatest amount of donations for Missions.

The evening was a great success and Cindy was reacquainted with some old friends she attended church with over 35 years ago.

Golden Agers I don’t know where you were at 11 a.m. October 16 but you should have been at Dyer FBC to share in a feast with the Golden Agers. The entrée with the main course included good country food with succulent boneless, roasted pork chops submerged in savory, white gravy with mushrooms, purple hull peas, fluffy white potatoes, candied yams, a congealed frosted salad, fruit salad with cookies, angel food cake, and peach cobbler for dessert. Other dishes were a part of the morning’s fare in addition to homemade biscuits in abundance to fill “carry outs” of all things for those members unable to come.

Preceding our ‘big dinner’ we had good music and devotional. Kenny McEwen was available during his many music engagements to lead us in singing ‘Praise

By Alice Ernest

Him; Praise Him’ and ‘Make Me a Blessing’ and his solo was ‘Just a Closer Walk with Thee.’ Jeanne Baker sang ‘I’m Going to Live Forever’ as a solo.

Our group believes in prayer and we had many requests for the morning.

Two ministers of the gospel, Bro. Jerry Smith of Calvary Baptist Church and Bro. Charles Stribling of Rutherford Assembly of God, need the Lord’s touch for healing. Dyer FBC has designated Sunday October 20 as an outreach Sunday titled ”Friends’ Day” recognizing Awana members and featuring Spring and Charles Reed of “He Lives” Ministries “ leading both services. We prayed for the upcoming service and for others that need the Lord’s healing including Carol Groce, and Cindy East’s little grandson Braden.

From the Preacher’s Desk Jesus tells us “For this is the love of God, when we love God and keep His commandments; and His commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 John 5:1-5) In the days of chivalry in France, a citadel was besieged by the enemy and the outworks were destroyed. In order that none might escape under cover of night, the besiegers guarded every foot of the wall. They had the garrison in a net and only waited for the morrow to slaughter them.

No sound came from the beleaguered city. Those brave but unfortunate defenders seemed to wait in doom in silence. When the morning came, the enemy with swords drawn rushed in to find the citadel empty!

Their astonishment was great. “Where are our foes?” they demanded. Then an opening was found leading down into the sub-cellars, and from these a long subterranean passage led them out a long way from the citadel among green fields and the clear light of day.

It was plain from this passage, the doors of which stood open; their prey had escaped at night. It was a refuge of those besieged, provided for such a crisis.

What an encouragement to us in the hour of temptation to remember that there is always a way of escape that is provided for just such times of perils. (Read 1 Corinthians

10:13). The world is our enemy. By the world we are besieged. By the world we may be overcome and be forever lost. Or, it is entirely

We prayed for the family of Harvey McEwen, Jr., in their loss and for Betty Bogle, whose grandson passed away President Gary Baker brought the devotional of the morning and he selected verses 1 – 7 from Galatians 6 for our consideration.

The verses include warning signs for us all. Heeding those warnings is our decision for good or ill. A similar warning could be a warning that a seemingly shallow, water-covered road is not hazardous. But someone might be deceived by the initial observation of the road or of a temptation.

The first verse is key to our interrelations with each other in Paul’s reminding his readers to restore gently any brother found in a fault.

Verse 7 reaffirms that we will fail and what we sow we shall also reap. But God is forgiving.

By Jerry Bell possible, with God’s help, to overcome the world and be forever saved.

What is the World? We will discuss this next week.

New Hope News By Shirley Hooper Brother Corey Meggs presented the DNA of a healthy church. The basic building blocks are; commitment to follow God’s leading, build up believers in Christ, and reach the lost.

A survey revealed 72% of all people say they have a personal commitment to Christ, only 29% say they attend church regularly, pray and read the Bible, 16% claim to have faith in Christ.

A healthy church must have a clear compelling vision of work for Christ, a commitment to build up the body of Christ and outreach.

Sunday morning Patrick and Scarlett Spencer reported 18 youth participated in the lock-in Friday night. Brother Corey preached on “Saved to serve� from I Corinthians 12:12-22, Ephesians 4:11-13 and other scriptures. Every Christian has a spiritual gift.

They should be used to glorify God, to serve others and to build up the church which is the body of Christ. If

the gifts are not used we will loose them.

Sunday evening Brother Corey spoke on “The Triumphal Entry� from Mark 11:1-11. It was a demonstration of Jesus’ deity, revelation of Jesus deity and an examination of Jesus’ deity. The colt had never been ridden. Just days before Christ’s crucifixion the people put cloaks on the colt and on the road with palm branches and shouted “Hosanna, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.� This is from the prophecy in Psalms 118:26 and Zechariah 9:9.

We are beginning our food pantry, bring canned goods.

Saul loved the Lord; but then Saul turned to his own devices and figuring. God had given him a specific instruction to destroy an entire land because they would be the army could physically wipe our Israel.

God wanted them gone, even their animals which their enemies had sacrifice to their idols. Saul returned from that battle and met the prophet Samuel along the way. (It was no accidental meeting.)

Samuel asked Saul if he’d done as the Lord through the prophet had commanded.

Saul said, “Yes.� Saul lied to the man of God. Problem: Saul believed more in himself and his power as king, than in God and the power of God and the command of God. The prophet Samuel replied, “If you did, then how is that that I Hear those animals behind you?�

Saul was caught with his hand in the cookie jar; nut it was lots worse than that. God took Saul’s kingdom away from him, which God had given to him (1 Samuel 1516).

When you’re ready please read Isaiah 8:18. The story of Saul. “Look and see!� the prophets proclaims. Me and my children the Lord has given me are for signs (Isaiah 7:3, 8:1, 3) and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of Hosts, who dwells in mount Zion.� “When they (the Assyrians who infect your whole land) (Isaiah 8:7 -8) come to counsel you and say (as they try to give you advice make this your decree instead): saying such as “raise their hand and come back to God’s law and to the testimony. (For this is the truth about them all, they’ll try to give you their own advice.

However, if they don’t speak according to the declaration of the Lord, it’s simple). It’s because they don’t have the light of the Lord in them�

(Isaiah 8:19-20). (See Acts 26:18).

Isaiah is telling them they shouldn’t bend to their cause; nor bow to their words, nor turn to their teachings.

BY LORI CATHEY The Gibson County High School golf team successfully closed their 2013 season with a winning record of 41-9 and setting a school record for the lowest total team round with a 148.

Gibson County’s Austin Brewer, Austin Yergin, and Mason Chandler finished the season with a scoring average of less than 40 on nine holes.

During matches, teams consisted of five players who competed on nine holes, and the worst score was dropped, with the remaining four scores added up for the team’s total.

The squad defeated many local rivals including Trenton and South Gibson County.

Sophomore Mason Chandler finished second over all in the District tournament and advanced to the Region tournament. He finished fourth in the region and missed out on qualifying for the state tournament by 3 shots. Mason led the team with a scoring average of 39.4 during the season.

“He is a talented golfer but more importantly, he is a great student in the classroom, a high character young man who is always positive and a pleasure to coach,” said Gibson County golf coach Drew Gibson.

“Gibson County High School is well represented

by Mason Chandler,” added Coach Gibson.

Gibson County golf team under the direction of Coach Drew Gibson has finished with back-to-

back winning seasons. Last year GCHS golf team won 13-AA district title and an individual state tournament apperearance by Austin Yergin who also tied for the region title before losing in a playoff.
