Allen Advocate Matt Littrell, a former

US Marine began his 6 to 8 month trip from Camp Lejeune, NC, to Camp Pendleton, CA in an effort to raise support and about $7 million for wounded warriors through the Semper Fi Fund, a journey that some people call crazy.

On Wednesday, his long trip stopped in Allen and through the kindness of William and Melinda Haney, they were provided a nice place to stay and rest for the night plus a home-cooked meal and a place for their horses to graze and rest for the long trip ahead. Minutes after an appeal on Facebook for a place for the group to stay for the night, the Haney’s answered the call. Littrell funded the ride with money from his own pocket, but now he’s depending on the donations and kind gestures of people he meets along the way.

He believes this is just the kind of attention wounded veterans need work through their toughest moments.

“Some guy is sitting there with a pistol on the table one night and maybe he’s going to see this and he’s going to say if that son of a gun can ride across the country then I can see what tomorrow looks like,” Littrell said. “That’s the main goal...for them to

know we’re still fighting for them.”

The most important part of this trip is to raise awareness for the Semper Fi Fund. The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit set up to provide immediate financial support for injured and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. We direct urgently needed resources to post 9-11 Marines and Sailors, as well as members

of the Army, Air Force or Coast Guard who serve in support of Marine forces. The Semper Fi Fund (SFF) provides relief for financial needs that arise during hospitalization and recovery as well as assistance for those with perpetuating needs

It’s a fight Littrell’s horses helped carry him through as well. The trip began May 1st and is not certain exactly his arrival date in California. “We’ll get there when we get

there, and they come first,” Littrell said about the safety of his horses along they way. “We’re just on top of them, so...without them we cant do it.”

“They were kinda my spirit guide. These guys carried me through some dark times and now they’re going to carry me across the country,” Littrell said.

The i r r ou t e t h rough Oklahoma will take them through Talihina, McAlester, Ada, Pauls Valley, Fort Sill,

Altus, and Hollis before they cross into the Panhandle of Texas “We’ll get there when we get there, and they come first,” Littrell said about the safety of his horses along they way. “We’re just on top of them, so...without them we cant do it.”

One of the most interesting articles I have read in a long time appeared in Aeon Magazine. The title of the article was . . .

The pull of the moonThe moon’s phases affect all sorts of animals, says Cam-

eron Walker, and that includes usThe eagle owls began to call at dusk, right around the

time the full moon started to rise in the east. Watching and listening were the ecologist Vincenzo Penteriani and his crew. They would be up all night, trying to learn more about the behaviour of these owls, Europe’s largest, with wings that could spread across a king-size bed.

On this particular full-moon night, Penteriani realised that there would be a lunar eclipse. As soon as the shadow of the Earth covered the Moon, the owls fell silent.

Scientists had long thought that nocturnal animals primarily used sound to communicate. But several years ago, Penteriani caught sight of a male owl through his binoculars, just after sunset. With each call, a previously hidden patch of white feathers flashed along the owl’s throat: a visual cue, the researcher later found, that was key to the species’ mating strategy. And on nights of brightest moonlight, these calls and flashes increase.

Nearly a third of vertebrates, and more than 60 per cent of invertebrates, are active at night; the full moon is the brightest object for most of their waking hours. About two weeks after the Moon’s brightest phase, the new moon will rise at sunrise and set with the Sun, leaving the entire night starlit. The whole cycle runs about 29.5 days from new moon to new moon, and ecologists such as Penteriani, who works at the Doñana biological station in Andalusia, want to know how this shifting pattern of lunar light and darkness shapes animals’ lives.

In our world of street lights and headlamps and blinding motion sensors, we – at least, I – no longer rely on the Moon. Often, I don’t even remember that it’s up there: it seems to surprise me appearing from behind a tree, its

light a shock when I wake from a dream.

Yet the Moon has always been in our stories, whether nursery rhymes or darker tales. Clouds unfurl from the face of the full moon and a man becomes a were-wolf. Vampires lurk, magic potions burble, bats take wing. Given these tales of night terrors, we might think that predators prefer the full moon’s light to stalk their prey. But when the ecolo-gists Laura Prugh (Univer-sity of Alaska Fairbanks) and Christopher Golden (Harvard) surveyed the behaviour of 59 nocturnal mammals, they found that most carnivores and insec-tivores became less active under the brightest Moon phases. Primates seemed to be the only group that was consistently more active under the full moon.

Without electric lighting, that applies to us, too. A few centuries ago, anyone who wanted to move about at night depended on the phase of the Moon. By the 17th century, those in cit-ies relied on almanacs to plan their night-time jour-neys, writes the historian A Roger Ekirch in At Day’s Close: Night in Times Past (2005). In autumn, farmers used the bounty of light from the harvest moon to reap the season’s crops late into the night. Thieves and other human predators sometimes refused to work nights when the ‘tattler’ in the sky might give them away.

For millennia, humans have wondered if the Moon pulls at us with something more than its reflected light.

Pliny the Elder observed that, in combination with the Sun, the Moon draws up the tides. Pliny and his compatriots also argued that this lunar force – now known as gravity – pulls on the moisture in our bodies, within our watery brains. The full moon’s drag was thought to cause everything from epilepsy to ‘lunacy’. These days, a few studies have linked human health and behaviour with the full moon, but more have refuted the connection – and gravity’s effect on us is known to be so tiny that it wouldn’t sway our aquatic

inner reaches.Although we might be

drawn to the showy shine of a full moon, the vanish-ing of this light as it starts to wane could be just as powerful. At the full moon, the Earth stands between the Moon and the Sun, and the view of our long-time companion is that of a brightly lit coin. During the following nights, as the Moon circles back toward the Sun, that coin slowly shrinks, yet the sky seems much darker than just the dwindling light would al-low. And it is: the Moon rises about 50 minutes later each evening, carving a

channel of darkness be-tween the Sun dropping below the horizon and the Moon appearing.

About seven days after the full moon, it becomes a semicircle of light called the third quarter moon. This moon rises close to midnight, too late for many daytime creatures to see. The stars take over. Another week, and we can no longer see its illumination, even if we stay up all night.

When the Moon passes through our sky during the daytime, rising at sun-rise and setting at sunset, some cultures call it the dark moon, others the new moon. In some calendars, the new moon is when the first slice of returning crescent is seen. Whatever the name, when the Moon passes between us and the Sun, these nights of lowest light allow other creatures to appear.

The waters of the Phil-ippines are central to the Coral Triangle, a region of the western Pacific with hundreds of coral reefs and thousands of species of reef fish. Traditional fishermen on Samal Island bring the catch home from the surrounding waters: with 31 fishing villages on the island’s coast, it can be difficult for marine biolo-gists such as Arthur Bos to find out how many are being caught from which species.

Over a period of two years, Bos and a colleague made more than 100 visits to Peña Plata, the island’s largest fish market, where small stalls display every-thing from red snapper to mangoes, and customers wheedle the vendors for an extra fillet. At first, Bos simply recorded which spe-cies appeared at the market in hopes of learning more about the Davao Gulf.

But soon he noticed a pat-tern: during the full moon and the days that followed, reef fish were difficult, even impossible, to find. During the new moon, you could buy plenty of snappers, groupers, parrotfish, and other coral reef species – more than 80 per cent of the stalls sold reef fish.

The dark nights around the new moon cue noctur-nal fish to leave their shel-ters among the reef, says Bos, now at the American University in Cairo. Under cover of darkness, these fish are less likely to be seen by aquatic predators – and the fishermen use this to their advantage, stalking the fish with spears and, sometimes, with flashlights.

During a new moon in other parts of the world, coyotes howl as a group. European badgers pee more. Bad weather and eclipses serve as transient dark moons; one species of nightjar has been seen to stop its moonlight for-aging when heavy clouds blanketed the moon. And

then, just as the night seems as if it will never brighten, a glimpse of a crescent ap-pears in the west just after the sun goes down.

Oh, the full moon. It seems to bring so much light and we give it so much more to bear sym-bolically. We sing about the romance of moondances, and worry that the full moon might make us, or the world around, crazy. Even Penteriani calls his re-search, which has involved more than eight years and thousands of hours chasing animals in the darkness, ‘lunatic’. Under the full moon, the young eagle owls he studies start to leave their home nests, using the light to seek out new ter-ritory and potential prey. Older eagle owls emit their haunting hoots, flashing their white throats at each other from high perches.

The full moon’s link to romance, at least of the in-vertebrate kind, is evident along Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, where re-searchers and divers flock each austral spring to see the symphony of corals releasing their gametes at once, a few days after the full moon. The spectacle, people say, looks like drift-ing underwater snow, pink and yellow and white.

When researchers looked more closely, they found that a gene encoding a coral cryptochrome – a protein that’s sensitive to blue light – begins expressing itself much more on full-moon nights. Five days later, the corals begin to spawn. The lunar cycle cues corals to release their gametes at the same time, making suc-cessful reproduction more likely. In other species, the Moon ties into other envi-ronmental cues that aid in creating the next generation – whether cues about food availability, as for the dark-hatching whip-poor-will, or about the tides.

Researchers have even started to find animals that continue to find food, and each other, in time with the Moon’s phases, even when they can’t see its light. This circalunar clock might be ticking in co-ordination with an animal’s 24-hour circadian timepiece to help it survive.

Galápagos marine igua-nas travel from their resting spots, leaving as much as four hours ahead of time, to arrive at the shoreline to graze for algae at low tide; the ones that arrive the earliest fare the best. They do this even when they can’t see the ocean and when their dark/light cycles are interrupted, sug-gesting to biologists that an interior clock, based on the tides and the underlying lunar cycle guides these iguanas.

Other marine species, too, seem to be able to track the Moon’s phases even without its light. The

gonads of the marine bristle worm Platynereis dumerilii mature in time with the lunar cycle; it performs its mating dance and releases gametes around the new moon. Worms raised in the lab under a mimicked lunar cycle mature and reproduce in synchrony with this cycle, even once the light treatment stopped, suggesting that the Moon’s light locks in the clock’s rhythm, which can then run even without the Moon in sight.

Many of us live in places where it’s hard to see the light of the Moon, and many of the connections between ourselves and the Moon that have been passed down through generations have been discounted, or at least called into question. So when a group of chronobi-ologists in Switzerland sat at a riverside bar in Basel one full-moon night, and started wondering if the Moon might affect people’s sleep, the idea was a bit of a joke.

They’d done a study sev-eral years earlier, in which 17 young and 16 older volunteers had come into the sleep lab for more than three days at a time. They were completely sealed off from any cues about light, dark and time of day. Everything from the vol-unteers’ brainwave activity to their levels of melatonin was measured.

At the time, they were trying to find out more about how age affected sleep. Now, under the full moon, they started thinking that they might take another look at their data to see if people’s sleep and other biological rhythms were af-fected by the lunar cycle.

When volunteers in their study, whether old or young, stayed in the lab during the three or four days around the full moon, they spent five minutes longer trying to fall asleep than those who stayed in the lab during other times of the lunar month. Their full-moon sleep was 20 minutes shorter, they felt less rested, and slept 30 per cent less deeply than those who visited the lab during other times. They couldn’t see the Moon, and the researchers hadn’t even

noted the Moon phase at the time.

Is there anything else that would make someone sleep this poorly? ‘It’s called growing old,’ says Anna Wirz-Justice, a chronobi-ologist.

Wirz-Justice and her col-leagues are still waiting for other labs to replicate their results so that they feel

Mul t ip le b io log ica l clocks could be governing our waking and sleeping lives, in ways we haven’t yet determined. For every study that negates the link between the Moon and birth, a midwife or obstetri-cian will swear that they’ve seen more babies born dur-ing the Moon’s brightest phase. My friend who’s an emergency room nurse – my most rational, depend-able friend – steels herself for full-moon nights of

accidents, injuries, people in distress.

Maybe our stories of the Moon run too deep. In the past, many of us were more connected to the Moon: maybe we still carry this cultural history with us, even if evidence of bio-logical effects has faded. Or these clocks might be quietly counting the hours somewhere beneath our our screens and lamps, our false moons.

Or maybe it’s just easier to believe in the event-ful moonlit nights that we accumulate throughout our own lives. No matter whether other researchers confirm the results from Basel, I will still blame my restless nights on the Moon, because otherwise this rest-lessness might mean I am growing old.

Having More Retirement Accounts is Not the Same as Having More Money.When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees.

I was in a restaurant re-cently and heard my name called. I went over to one of the tables and greeted the person who had called to me. She laughingly began a story that had happened to her when I had a photog-raphy studio. She told me about the baby pictures of her I had taken. We began to talk about how many years

ago that was. Then I came across an

email I had received from a friend and she wrote that she had just realized that she was in the winter of her life and how quickly it had caught her by surprise. That is seemed just yesterday that she was young, just newly

married and embarking on a new life. That in a way it seemed just yesterday and where did her youth go. That she had just realized that her friends were retir-ing and getting grey; that they moved slower; that they were now the older folks that she had thought were years away from her. She just realized that she was there.

Yes, life and time have a way of moving on. I have lived and experienced so many things over the years. Recently I have been gath-ering files of the many organizations I have been a part of and I am putting them in a file cabinet at the school museum so they will be a part of the history of all those organizations and will

not be lost. I have files when I was

a member of the zoning committee that zoned the town. Bill Wilson and I were asked by the Chamber of Commerce to head the committee to raise funds for street lights for our Main Street.

I have records of meet-ings when I was on the committee to raise funds for our library building. I was a charter member and an now a sixty year member of the Epsilon Sigma Sorority that raised money for grade school playground equip-ment and many other things for the community. I was on the first municipal beautifi-cation committee. We saw the need to buy supplies

the city could not furnish. A town meeting was called and Healdton Beautiful was organized in 1974. I am still the Service Chairman and Treasurer. I was on the com-mittee that helped research and helped bring the Indus-trial Authority to our com-munity. I wrote the grants for money to restore Sunset School as the Museum it now is. I worked for a year to check with owners of business buildings with an area Optometrist to locale a business in our community. And so much more.

Yes, I agreed with that friend that I am now in the winter of my life. I have lived and experienced so much and I will continue to live as well as I know how. And that is my wish for you.

LARGE & SMALL ANIMALS

Time to guard your pets against fleas and ticks

Tim Costner, D.V.M

I had just finished reading a story in Na-tional Geographic writ-ten by an old boy from up North about his re-cent drive through the rural south. He visited several areas that had been racial hotspots 40 or 50 years ago and did a pretty good essay on economics down there. My impressions of his writing were that the south never got over the civil war, it is a bigoted part of America which is getting the poverty it probably deserves. County seat towns are pictured as drying up to the point that one has problems locating a mo-tel that is still open. And when he does it will be a flea bag. Economi-cally and culturally, he implies that the South is just rotting away. It was

depressing. Recently my cousin,

James Bullard of Bir-mingham, Alabama of-fered my family the use of his beach-side condo. Being the cheapskates that we are we accepted the offer and drove down for a week of pleasant weather, beach walking, swimming and relaxing. Enough seafood was consumed during this period to cause whole-sale prices to jump a bit and I’m sure that now we are gone the market is still de-stabilized. We had a great time on Dauphin Island and say a big thanks to Cousin Jimmy.

We visited other kin in Brewton and Birming-ham before coming back

to Allen. Meanwhile, you can be sure I was keeping my eyes peeled for the decadence, big-ots and southern pover-ty. It was pretty elusive. In fact my driving in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee didn’t show any of what National Geographic spoke so much about. Well, Ten-nessee looked pretty bad but that isn’t really in the Confederacy is it?

Another article in this month’s National Geo-graphic is called: “Hun-ger in America.” The magazine states that about 35% of Ameri-can’s go to bed hungry every night. Children are so hungry that they can’t concentrate on their studies thus grow-ing up ignorant. The ar-ticle attempts to go into a sort of contorted study of why most of these “starving” people are also overweight. They are overweight because “we” don’t make good fresh food available to them and the processed foods they are “allowed” to have trick their bodies into getting fat with-out getting nourished. Half of the hungry are in rural slum-areas of America but not once did I note any mention of the widespread use of drugs in all these areas.

“Functioning Drug Addicts” is a sort of new title to me. I heard it recently and think it applies to more people (parents) than we like to admit. Function-ing means they are still able to go to work and get a check but instead of what we would call normal recreation they use drugs for their pur-suit of happiness. Child neglect and abuse are a

very common side ef-fects of having parents matching this defini-tion.

Getting back to obe-sity, I think our druggy culture, an overabun-dance of food and food stamps and even money is to blame. More ex-ercise in schools? You bet. But the kids that really need this physical fitness routine nearly always wiggle out of it with a note from a parent excusing them. Proper nutrition in the lunch rooms is passed

by in favor of pizza and pop. Michelle Obama had a good idea there for our lunch rooms (every dog has her day) but it just ain’t working.

Speaking of school, be careful driving around the school zones. Those kids may be a little fat but we love ‘em any-way. And school starts the 21st in Allen. Be sure and go to Church Sunday.

On Monday, July 14, 2014, the General Synod of the Church of England voted to allow females to become bishops in their denomination by a vote of 351 in favor and 72 opposed. Albert Mohler stated, “Virtually every major media outlet in Britain acknowledged that the vote reversed 2,000 years of Christians tradition.”

Considering that the Church of England has initiated a change in practice that is directly opposed to its practice in years past, one must ask, “Was the church in error in the past, failing to practice the will of God, OR have they now departed from God’s will and thus they are now in error?” Since both positions are diametrically

opposed to each other, the church had to be wrong one time – unless it was wrong both times.

The Bible clearly, in no ambiguous terms, states that bishops are to be males, and each one is to be “husband of one wife” who “rules his own house well.” (1 Timothy 3:2-4) Did God’s will change at the moment a two-thirds majority was reached by the General Synod of the Church of England?

As Christians, we must ask ourselves who we are going to follow. Will we accept the word of God as found in the inspired Bible as our authority to govern the church and our lives OR will we put our finger in the wind and move whichever way the cultural wind happens to be blowing at the time. Jesus said (Matthew 15:8-9), “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. In vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”

Need Your House Roofed?Call Me

Early August is such an in-between time of the year. It is still summer with swimming pools, picnics, home-made ice-cream, and watermelon calling our names. Yet, it’s almost back-to-school time. School supplies and school clothing sales play starring roles in newspaper ads, and some of the items are even tax free if you buy them on the right day. Are we excited about gearing up for the new school year or regretful that summer will soon fade? Well, both of course. It’s just that, like ice-cream and bacon, the two thoughts don’t blend very well.

We were honored to open the worship services this Sunday with a baptism service. Joyce Searcy sang “On my Father’s Side,” which beautifully illustrated the difference between the earthly and divine points of view. The lyrics point out that at the time He was questioned in the temple, Jesus was 12 years old on his mother’s side, but on his

Father’s side he had always been. On his mother’s side he was from Bethlehem, but on his Father’s side he was from New Jerusalem. On his mother’s side he would die by crucifixion, but on his Father’s side he would arise 3 days later to sit at his Father’s side.

Rev. Karch’s sermon was based in the 11th chapter of Hebrews. Of all the kinds of faith we could list, faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior is the greatest and the most important. It is the kind of faith that believes that Jesus is who he said he is, and that he is alive today and is doing all that he said he would do.

Nature inspires faith that God exists. Our universe, our planet with all its magnificent plants and animals, and we ourselves have been created by God. The more we learn about any of these and how each relates to the rest of God’s creation the more we marvel at the preciseness, the wonders, and the magnificence of it

all. The author of Hebrews

notes that Enoch pleased God. As a result Enoch did not see death “and was not found because God had translated him.” The author then points out that it is impossible to please God without faith. He goes on to explain that those who come to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of all who diligently seek him.

Noah, Abraham, and Moses are also named as examples of men in the Old Testament who had faith in God. Since then Jesus has fulfilled the law of the Old Testament, was all the prophets said he would be, and did all they said he would do.

Romans 3:28 says that [now] we are justified by faith in Jesus the Christ. Ephesians 2:8 adds that we are saved by grace through faith. It is the gift of God.

So have faith. Jesus is who he said he is and will deliver us into heaven. He will not fail us.

Atwood FBC News

Sunday we were blessed with many, many children in our services. I know they enjoyed the breakfast and learning about God’s love for them. They are looking forward to school starting so they can see their friends.

Murphy McDaniel sang our special “ Amazing Grace Medley.” We always enjoy hearing her sing.

Bro. Larry’s message was taken from Matthew 14:22-31 and entitled “Why do we Struggle with Doubt?”

We ’ r e s o m e t i m e s exhausted a the end of a long day. This had been quite a day. The miracles were

over and now they were back pulling on the oars. They were undoubtedly tired. Satan often waits until we are tired, weak and exhausted to do his work. We sometimes feed our fears rather than our faith. Exhausted and weary they were now seeing ghosts.

We sometimes fail to see Jesus in our current situation. Jesus was back there where they lef t him. They could not yet comprehend that he was always with them. Jesus always knows where we are and what we are going through. Peter is beginning to pick up on the “living by

Atwood Nazarenefaith” idea. Unfortunately for him, his circumstances are still stronger than his faith. Peter was out of the boat, walking toward Jesus when he took another look at the wind.

We take our eyes off Jesus. Faith comes as we learn to keep our eyes on Jesus, not on our problems. It’s not that unusual. Peter did it. Most likely we have too. Faith means that we keep walking, even if we don’t understand how we do it. We forget that faith is a process that takes time. It would take the disciples years to become “world-changers.” It all began for them on the day they heard and answered Jesus’ call. They became a “work in progress” until the day they were called home. These men of “little faith” eventually become the giants of the faith by keeping at it.

Pray for our children, teachers, and the schools as they return . They face many difficulties they we cannot always understand. Give them your support.
