Lightning strike takes out Gibson Co. 911 Central Control

BY LORI CATHEY Two lightning strikes in the past 30 days on Gibson County’s 911 emergency communications system have caused an undetermined amount of damage.

Lightning struck the Gibson County 911 Center Control tower located in Dyer around 9 a.m. during a brief thunderstorm Monday morning on July 1st. Gibson County dispatcher Gail Wallace was on the phone at the time of the strike and she heard a loud boom right before the communications system crashed. The lightning strike knocked out telephone lines and radio systems within the center preventing it from receiving emergency calls.

The communication consoles that the dispatchers were sitting at also lost radio contact with EMS, police and fire units, though dispatchers were able to speak with units in the field using portable radios, Wallace said.

After the lightning hit, 911 operations manager Bob Moore said his dispatchers activated a system that re-routed emergency incoming calls to 911 centers in nearby Weakly County. Information was then relayed back to Gibson County 911 to their cell phones. “We called Gibson County Emergency Management, and they brought over their mobile command center and parked it see page 3

Dyer native joins Goodwill Industry at workshop Significant changes in Tennessee workers’ compensation law will go into effect on July 1, 2014 according to James (J.V.) Thompson, an attorney with Rainey, Kizer, Reviere & Bell PLC. Thompson is the son of Walton and Betty Rose Thompson of Dyer.

He graduated from Gibson County High School in 1995.

His remarks came at a Jackson workshop hosted

by Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee and Rainey Kizer to help employers begin planning for these changes. At the event Goodwill executives also outlined their programs to help disabled employees return to the workplace.

Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee operates a Career Solutions Center at 1430 South First Street in Union City. “These are sweeping changes, with many facets of the new law still to be fleshed out,� Thompson explained. “A new administrative agency and new appointed judges will begin to hear workers’ compensation cases, instead of the local trial courts. New administrative regulations, which have not yet been issued, may control how the new law is interpreted and executed. There also will be new standards and formulas to determine the availability and amount of workers’ compensation benefits. An ombudsman program will also be see page 3

Insight & Opinion Dress the way you want to feel

Clayburn Peeples reports: As just about everyone knows, and as I have mentioned in this column a number of times, what a person wears has an enormous influence on what other people think about him or her, sometimes in obvious ways, but sometimes in an unknown subtle fashion. A new study done with men’s T-shirts illustrates this. A group of women were shown several photographs of men wearing three different T-shirts and were asked to rate each man according to attractiveness, health and intelligence.

The three different shirts were identical except that one set had a large “T” emblazoned across the front of it, another had an inverted “T” across it and the third set was plain.

So what do you think? If you guessed that the men were judged to be more attractive when wearing the shirts with the large, upright

masculinity) more attractive than others, and a large “T” across the chest would exaggerate, or negate that image, depending on which way it was turned.

You are, to a great extent, what you wear, at least in the eyes of other people.

Study after study has shown that people size you up very, very quickly. Indeed, all of us, whether we are conscious of it or not, make snap judgments about people according to the clothes they wear. We may not know why, but within three minutes of meeting someone, according to people who study such things, we have already decided who, and what, they are.

How do we come to such rash decisions about people?

Their physical appearance, hugely influenced by what they wear, accounts for 87% of our impressions; their body language accounts for another eight percent, and what they say, and how they say it, only comes in at only fivepercent.

Can you change a negative first impression?

Yes, but it takes a full 20 minutes to undo a bad initial impression. In today’s world, you will seldom get that much time.

Furthermore, what we wear not only affects everyone else’s opinion of each of us, it also affects

“T”s on them, you were correct. They were judged to be 12% more attractive than the same men wearing plain shirts, and those wearing shirts with the inverted “T” were judged to be 12% less attractive.

Those wearing the upright “T” were also evaluated as 12% healthier than those wearing plain shirts, and again, those wearing the inverted “T” were guessed to be 12% unhealthier.

The attractiveness/healthy perceptions of the upright “T” had the greatest effect on men whose body shapes indicated they were “out of shape.” Oddly, all three groups were adjudged to have the same degree of intelligence.

Same men - different Tshirts and different results.

The reason for these results, the researchers concluded, is that women find men with a v-shaped torso (supposedly a sign of

what we think of ourselves.

Researchers have identified a phenomenon called “enclothed cognition.”

It means “the systematic influence that a person’s clothing has on the wearer’s psychological processes,” meaning, what your clothes say to you, rather than about you. In one study, researchers had participants put on white coats and then take tests. When told the coats were “doctors’ coats” the participants scored significantly higher and made fewer errors on exams they were then given than they did when told the coats were “painters’ coats.”

My mother, no psychologist, but who knew a great deal about psychology, knew this intuitively. Once an aunt who lived in Memphis went into a deep depression, and my mother announced one night that she was going to

get on the train to Memphis the next morning to “take care of Evelyn.”

“What do you think you can do for her,” my dad sneered?

“I’m going to make her dress up and go shopping with me, and while we’re out, we’re going to get her hair fixed,” replied my mother.

My dad hooted at that, but guess what. A few days later my mother returned in triumph. It seems that when she got all fancied up, Aunt Evelyn saw herself in a new light, and for the rest of her life she credited my mom with “curing me of that horrible depression I had that summer.”

When people dress differently, they shift their internal selves. Novelist Harper Lee once said that when she met Gregory Peck she “knew” he was all wrong for the part of Atticus Finch.

Too sallow, too casual, but she said that when he put on Atticus’s clothing and glasses he was suddenly transformed. He “became” Atticus Finch. Many, many actors have said that this happens to them when they don costumes for their parts.

So the enclothed cognition people tell us not to dress the way we feel, but to dress the way we want to feel, to wear clothes that make us feel powerful, wealthy or whatever else it is we want to be.

Clothes matter, even if you are only wearing a Tshirt, as I mentioned earlier, and by the way, I’ve been thinking about that study.

Do you think it’s possible that the women in the study preferred the guys wearing the large, upright “T”s because they thought they were UT men?

No? Well, Go Vols anyway.

Lowrance Chapel Greetings from the Lowrance Chapel church of Christ. We ask that you continue to pray for Mark Paschall as he continues to recover from the injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

We also ask that you continue to remember James White, Max Betts, Jean Bell, Modeen Pierce, Jean Harris, Carlene Meadows, Carlene’s sister Ann, and Ann Tidwell. If you have any questions or comments concerning any of the articles or would like for someone to be added to the prayer list, please email me at brandon.clenney@gmail. com.

The past several weeks, we have dealt with Matthew chapter 24 and have looked at the two questions posed to Jesus there in that chapter.

Last week, we ended with Jesus telling his disciples that no man on earth will know the day nor the hour of His return.

We also noticed this could not be in regards to the first question posed concerning the destruction of Jerusalem because Jesus knew about that event.

In fact, He gave them

warning signs of when that event would occur in AD 70, and He told them to flee when they saw them. The remainder of chapter 24 and all of chapter 25 are the assurances of Jesus of the sudden, unannounced coming of the Son of Man. He says, It is going to come so suddenly that it’s going to be like two men in the field where one is taken and the other left and like two women at the mill where one is taken and one left.

People like to use verses 40 and 41 to talk about a “rapture.” The saying here indicates that some are going to be ready at the return of Christ and others will not be because of the suddenness. That’s it.

Let’s not read anymore into it than what’s there. Some will be ready. Some will not.

And there will be no more time for us to get ready when it happens. Jesus’ simple illustration is showing what that unexpected time is going to be like.

He uses verse 37 there to talk about the days of Noah: It says, “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” We are told how in Noah’s day

to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you?

- unless indeed you are disqualified” Often examination brings us back to the same place. If our approach is based upon Scripture and sound reason, we will come to the same conclusions. At other times, we discover that we are in a rut that is taking us nowhere in particular, or even in the wrong direction.

Take for instance, the American railroad.

The U.S. standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is four feet, eight-and-onehalf inches. Why such an odd number? Because that’s the way they built them in England, and American railroads were built by British expatriates.

Why did the English adopt that particular gauge?

Because the people who built the pre-railroad tramways used that gauge. They in turn were locked into that

they were continuing to eat, drink, and be merry; they were marrying one another; and they were living their lives as normally right up until the time of that first drop of rain. So what Jesus is trying to get through to us is that life is going to be going on as normal when he returns. That’s it.

Then He goes on and says it’s going to be like a thief in the night in verse 43. We don’t know when. It’s going to be as the unexpected return of the land owner who finds some of his servants faithful while others think their lord has delayed his coming and so they are unfaithful (verses 45-51). His message here is simple: He says, “therefore be ye also ready for as such an hour as you think not, the son of man cometh.”

The important message for us in Matthew chapter 24 is not in the signs of Christ’s coming because no one knows. We are not going to have any signs nor are we going to have any warnings.

So it is imperative that we be prepared for it right now and always.

Are you ready?

By Jerry Bell gauge because the people who built the tramways used the same standards and tools they had used for building wagons, which were set on a gauge of four feet, eight-and–one-half inches. Why were wagons built to that scale? Because with any other size, the wheels did not match the old wheel ruts on the roads.

So who built these old rutted roads? The first long-distance highways in Europe were built by Imperial Rome for the benefit of their legions.

The roads have been in use ever since. The ruts were first made by Roman war chariots. Four feet, eightand-one-half inches was the width a chariot needed to be to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses.

Maybe “that’s the way it’s always been” isn’t the great excuse some people believe it to be. If you are “in a rut”, whose fault is it?

Probably your own.

From the Preacher’s Desk My wife, Jean and I have just returned from a trip to Vernal, Utah to visit very special friends we have known for some time.

We had an enjoyable trip without any problems or incidents. When we crossed over the Tennessee River Bridge into Tennessee we exclaimed; “It’s good to back home.”

This article written by Clark Cothem, was in our church bulletin last week and I wanted to pass some excerpts along to my readers. I thought that the message was much needed.

It is entitled “In a rut.

Have you ever felt like that you are in a rut and can’t escape it? Sometimes individuals “need to get out of the rut”. Why do we do what we are doing? Is it working? Is it with regards to God’s Word? Is it wise?

The Apostle Paul tells us that self-examination is good for individuals! In 2 Corinthians 13:5 he says; “Examine yourselves as

Sunday School for Shut-Ins By Mary King When you’re ready please read 2 Kings 10:26-27.

Our story reminds me of my testimony I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior, I would have stayed on the side with Jeroboam, where it looked more comfortable and safe. I would have judged the situation on appearance.

I would have decided based on how Jeroboam would take care of me. I wouldn’t have listened to God. I’d say, “But I didn’t want to go with that bunch of religious people. They’ll want to talk about God and God’s only Son. I don’t want to hear about God.” We can also see that when I choose to stay on this side with Jeroboam, all the evil that follows him will soon be chasing me.

I wonder if the people who

followed Jeroboam realized that they were making him their God. Their idolatry set them all in danger. God Almighty is the only living God and the God of Abraham, Isacc and Israel. God’s first commandment: “Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me” Exodus 20:3(KJV).

We’ve seen how Jeroboam caused Israel to sin with golden cows. Jeroboam said anyone could be a priest. He ignored God’s laws and made his own. Jeroboam taught the people to ignore God’s laws and to make their own.

Reverence of God and the Lord’s day because jokes in Jeroboam’s house.

Now in Second Kings 10:28 we see the conclusion of Jehu. He appointed 80 men to carry out his orders to destroy Baal worship in Israel.

He didn’t do everything right, but God liked the one thing he did. God’s mercy is available to all. Jehu the king had torn down the worship centers of Baal and even the temple of Baal.

God blessed his family with power and position for that act of mercy toward the heart of God. Jehu had taken an unpopular stand, before a powerful group of evil people. Why didn’t God just destroy the temple of Baal?

Why didn’t God just do it?

Why does the Creator of the universe involve mere man to be partakers with Him? Jehu had taken a stand for God and God was showing him what He could do for those who takes a stand for Him especially in fear and trembling, in the midst of conflict.

Community Living

Bethpage By Joyce Brown It surely has been a busy summer with farmers getting crops harvested and other fields planted, families taking vacations, baseball tournaments, mission trips and the list goes on. We are thankful for God’s protection in all these ventures.

Bro. Jeff wanted me to pass along his thoughts on the recent passing of Mike Greene so here are his thoughts. What a privilege it was to have a part in the home going service of Bro. Mike Greene. I am happy to say he professed Jesus Christ as savior and Lord. Mike, even though he was very sick, never failed to encourage me. I was happy to have known Mike in the last few months. His address has changed and now by his own testimony is with the Lord. When you die and your obituary is read will the preacher be able to talk about you like I am talking about Mike. He knew the only way to Heaven was Jesus Christ and he lived every day to the fullest.

What a day we had a Bethpage Sunday!

God showed up in a big way and lots of folks followed creating a spirit of worship in our little country church.

Tina and Janice began with a beautiful medley of hymns on the instruments. Our call to worship was “Jesus, Something about That Name.�

The welcome song was the Baptist Anthem “Victory in Jesus.� There were a couple of pews of Preacher’s Pals and Bro Jeff talked to them about the love of their parents and the even greater love that God has for them. The offertory was “Give Thanks� and Logan had the special music “Beulah Land.� Bro. Jeff preached a powerful sermon titled “We Must Obey God Rather Than Man� using Acts 5:28-32 as his main scripture.

Following the message, he & the deacons served the Lord’s Supper. When we dismissed, we could all say we had been to church. Bro Jeff’s night message was “Reward for Obedience� with the text being Psa 19:7-11.

We were really happy to have Steve Littleton and his family visiting from Iowa.

Ricky Littleton had a birthday and he must be a hundred as he gave a dollar when he came forward for birthday time. I guess he must feel that since he & Janice became grandparents on June 30.

Todd & Kristin announce the arrival of Miss Malone Grace Littleton. Big wide smiles around all the Littleton family as this sweet little one entered into this sweet Christian family. Congratulations on this wonderful event.

The Preacher’s Pals will be making a trip to the Zoo in Memphis on July 17th. If you have a child in this group and plan to attend, please let Christy Griggs know in advance so transportation can be arranged. Don’t you know this will be a fun trip? Hope they don’t keep the preacher.

Prayers go out to a mission team from Second Baptist, Union City who are in El Salvador ministering in orphanages there. Catelyn Cochran & Keri Lannon are with this group and I’m sure they will have many experiences to share when they return. God bless them for serving.

Are your freezers full like mine is? All the corn, green beans and blackberries are adding up, but there will be some good eating this winter.

The Bible says “If you don’t work, you shouldn’t eat� and I love to eat so therefore, I have been working. This old body is getting tired so maybe I’ll rest a day or two and read the Tri City. Have a great week.

New Hope News By Shirley Hooper Wednesday evening, July 3 we attended Dyer Station Celebration’s 29th annual 4th of July Community-wide church service at Dyer First Baptist Church. New Hope’s own Brother Corey Meggs brought the message from II Chronicles 15:3-7 on the state of our nation. As always he did a fantastic job. Many from New Hope attended. What has happened to ‘One nation under God?’ We have lost the title of a Christian nation.

This problem did not happen overnight. When a nation ceases to be good it ceases to be great. Each seems to desire to do their own thing. The service was concluded with a lovely candle light vigil.

Sunday morning we welcomed Ms. Vicki as she played piano for us. Special music was “Somebody’s praying� sung by Brother Terry Owens.

Brother Corey’s message, “Don’t tune God out: or “The call of wisdom� was from Proverbs, first chapter. We live in an age of perpetual noise. All kinds of stuff goes on around us. Sometimes we let it overshadow God’s

leading. This scripture gives prudence to the simple, those who are full of pride, boastful, scorners and those who must get past themselves to get to God. When is the last time you were near God? How long has it been? God has much to say to us. He is speaking, are you listening?

Sunday evening we enjoyed a praise service.

Patrick and Scarlett Spencer gave their testimony and blessed us. The McEwens, New Hope’s own singing missioners, also blessed us with their singing.

On July 16 at 6 p.m. there will be a pool party at Rutherford Swimming Pool.

Everyone is invited. July 19 Vacation Bible School decoration party is at 7 p.m.

Our Vacation Bible School is July 22 through 25, family night will be July 28. Help is still needed.

Remember the many on our prayer list and our friends in the nursing home.

A preacher ask young boy, “The clergy gets paid to be good, the rest of us are good for nothing.�

The Grapevine By Sarah Skinner I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July holiday.

It was a long weekend for some. We had a happy 4th and had a very happy week before the 4th. Rodney, Lil Sarah and Susan Alford, my daughterin-law, Michelle, James and I vacationed in Las Vegas, NV. We stayed at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, which was located on the strip.

We could see the Bellagio water show, which was a beautiful sight to see, from James and my room.

We visited the Madarne Tussauds Wax Museum, the Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, attended a show, Ka

by Cirque du Soleil at MGM Grand, went shopping and it was a trip of a life time for me.

James and I traveled to Charles and Laura Warren’s home in Wingo for their 4th of July cookout they have every year. Steve and George Bailey, Dennis and Wilma Ball, Bobby and Shirley Hill, Tyrone and his family were among the many that were there. Enroute home James and I stopped in Greenfield at Helen and James Bear home and visited with his family.

Julia Faye, Daphane, Merrisa and her friend from Lansing, MI were there along with

John and Rose Mitchell and several others.

Harold and Pearl Banks and children, John and Minnie Mays and Patricia Porter spear headed the Mays family Reunion Saturday at the Kenton Youth Center.

There were family members present from all over. They had a wonderful gathering.

We had a wonderful service at St. Paul Sunday morning, although our attendance was down. The Lord says as long as there are two or three gathered in my name on one accord He would be in the midst of them. Rev. Michelle Skinner delivered the message. Her topic “The New Man: was found in Colossians 3:1-4, 9&10.

The mass choir provided the music. Communion was administered.

Rev and Mrs. Willie Pounds were in vacation, they attended a family reunion in Nashville among other things. Hope they got some much needed rest.

Love and sympathy is extended to the Nathan Wilkins family. His funeral was held Saturday at Brown Chapel AME Church in Union City.

God bless and have a good week.

Pharmacy & Your Health What to do About Nighttime Leg Cramps Muscle cramps are caused by a strong, sudden tightening of body muscles, most commonly being the leg calf muscles. Certain conditions such as peripheral arterial disease, kidney disease, thyroid disease, pregnancy, and multiple sclerosis have been linked to leg cramps that occur during sleep. Leg cramps may occur more often in people who do not have enough water, calcium, potassium, and magnesium in their body. Certain blood pressure-lowering (Coreg, Cozaar, Zestril), cholesterol-lowering (Lipitor), and mood-stablizing (Abilify) medications may also cause nighttime leg cramps.

There are daily activities that can help ease the pain of leg cramps. Regular stretching before bedtime and untucking of the bedroom sheets may be helpful. When a leg cramp does occur, a quick muscle massage, flexing of the foot, a brisk walk, a cold pack, a heating pad, or a warm bath may help reduce the intensity of the pain.

Staying hydrated with water and sports drinks can provide the nutrients your body needs to help prevent the cramping sensation. Over-the-counter pain medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve) can help relieve leg pain.

A physician should be consulted if leg cramps are severe and occur frequently.

Rutherford 1st Baptist

By Katherine Blankenship How about the weather last week? I don’t remember another fourth with temps like it.

Bob and I had something else to celebrate last week too, our 50th anniversary. We celebrated with our loved ones at Larry and Wanda’s.

Our great granddaughter entertained us.

There were several out Sunday morning, but we still had a good crowd.

During Brother Jason’s children’s time, he asked them how many made a list everyday of things to do, and what would be on it.

Some of the answers were play video games, eat, do what your mom tells you, shopping. Jesus says we have something to do, one

thing, do what Jesus asks you to do.

The sermon for us was “Love Your People� from Romans 9:1-5. Sunday evening we started on Genesis I. Cottage prayer meeting will be a Broeck Horner’s house this week. Vacation Bible School starts next week. This is always a fun time for the kids.

We want to remember Dora Walker, Arlan Emerson, and others who are having health problems.

Those having birthdays this week: Mike McCullar, George Boucher, Laurie White and Doris Davidson.

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come, today is gift that’s why it’s

Cloras Chapel By Robin McNeil Greetings from the Cloras Chapel Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Dyer. The Fourth of July was an exciting holiday for each of us. We thank God for blessing us and keeping us safe in His care. We are in prayer for the Wilkins family and the Bowers family in their time of bereavement. We must remember that our God is an awesome God and He knows just how much we can bear. Though the load sometimes gets so heavy, we are never left alone to bear it all. Families just ask for strength and keep on toiling.

Pastor Myles and Mrs. Myles attended the Myles/ Seals Family Reunion held at North Parkway Magnet School in Jackson. The dates were July 6 and 7th, They reported having a good time and were blessed to see a lot of their family, even ones they did not know were family.

Pat, Teresa, and Valerie, members of Cloras Chapel were in attendance also.

Everything went well. Cloras Chapel had wonderful service on Sunday. Sunday School was great and Rev. Jeremy Myles brought the morning message. His title taught about how faith can work in our lives. We must trust and believe in God. Prayer is the key, but faith unlocks the door.

Please continue to pray for our sick and shut in. On third Sunday, Cloras Chapel will journey to Brown’s Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Jackson. The entire church is invited to go and dinner will be served.

We are so thankful for all of our members and we pray that God will continue to bless us. Please Keep us in your prayers.

Cloras Chapel says: Thank You Lord, You been better to us than we have been to ourselves. Thank You Lord!

Have a good week!

birthday on July 4th with an array of activities here and around the nation. Locally, an eager crowd enjoyed the many entries in the annual parade, street dance, 5K run, yard sales, fireworks, etc. Mother Nature blessed us with unseasonably cool temperatures in which to enjoy all the activities.

Ms. Duncan, a lab technician for Ocoma Foods and Tyson Foods in Humboldt and active member of the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Humboldt for over sixty three years, passed away on Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at the Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.

Ms. Duncan grew up near Rutherford and graduated from Rutherford High School.

She was preceded in death by her husbands Roy Woods and Paris Duncan.

Ms. Duncan is survived by two sons, Roy “Pat� Patton Woods (Susan) of Paris, TN and Terry Nelson Woods (Susan) of Brandon, MS; a grandson, Christopher Nelson Woods (Valerie); and two great grandchildren, Irie Woods and Will Woods.

ANNETTE BARRON-MAYS Clarksville - Ms. Annette Barron-Mays, 50, of Clarksville, TN passed from this life after a lengthy illness on July 3, 2013 at her mother’s home in Rutherford. A memorial service will be held on July 13, 2013 at 2 p.m. at Laneview Baptist Church in Kenton.

Ms. Barron-Mays was born on December 6, 1962 in Gibson County; the daughter of Connie and Ruth Barron Miller and the late Roy Cecil Barron. Ms. Barron-Mays formerly lived 20 years in Virginia Beach, VA and worked in Civil Service on various Naval Bases. She was an avid genealogist, quilter and crafter.

She is survived by her fiancĂŠ, Claude St. Amant, a daughter, Allyssa Mays, one granddaughter, Jayme Elizabeth Mays, her mother and stepfather, Ruth and Connie Miller, a sister, Royce Ann Barron Reynolds and spouse, Wayne Reynolds, a niece, Sydney Reynolds, and step sister, Anita Bryant and step brother, Mark Miller and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

Sixteen Golden Agers met July 3 in the FLC of Dyer FBC for an enjoyable brunch that preceded Dyer FBC’s Pastor DeWayne Goodgine’s devotional that stirred patriotism in the hearts of his listeners. He began his talk by challenging everyone to read Psalms 33 and 34. Contained in the verses were praises to our creator God and deliverance from difficulties of life following the direction of David. How really poignant is verse 12 of Ps. 33, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord!�

The individual responsibility lies in each of us. We have been privileged to have the pattern of our forefathers who were thankful to God and felt His guidance as they formulated our document of freedom, “the Constitution of the United States!�

Beginning with the Pilgrims, many settlers have come to America because of religious freedom’s oppression in other places

The Bible and its precepts were all important for our founding fathers as the Congress of the U.S. appropriated $300,000 in 1777 for Bibles to be placed in all schools. By 1782 all schools contained a Bible.

The first colleges were established for the education of ministers and all but two of the first 100 colleges were Christian.

Now in our time of difficulty, God is still open to the prayers of his people and actions are available to us if we strive to correct problems as we open to the prayers of his people and actions are available to us if we strive to correct problems as we cherish the positives of our great nation.

Remembered in prayer were our own Brother Jerry Legg and Shirley Shull, Carol Groce, Jean Shanklin Bynum, the upcoming mission trip, and families of Jerry Patterson, Gene Clark and Edna Faye Alford.
