The Allen Board of Edu-cation met for their regular monthly meeting on Mon-day, March 10th. The meet-ing was held at the AHS Band Room, starting at 7:00 pm.

Following the recognition of guests and the reading of the Statement of Open Meet-ing, newly elected member Chad Goodson took his oath of office. At that time the Board was realigned.

Now serving as president is Robert Hammonds; vice president is Jeff Maloy and Cindy Davis will serve as clerk for the 2014-15 year. Other board members are

Goodson and Frayne Black. A motion was made, sec-onded and passed to approve the regular consent agenda items. The consent agenda includes minutes of the pre-vious meeting, purchase or-ders, payroll, the treasurer’s report and activity fund re-port.

Administrative reports were given by superintendent Ty Harman, and principals Chad Ward and Mary Pat Sappenfield. Items brought to the board’s attention in-cluded the completion of the elementary computer lab, progress on the installation of the intercom system, pur-

chase of a new lawnmower, and state testing.

The board then approved activity absentee waivers; re-newal of the OKTLE teacher evaluation system; open transfers for school year 2014-15; renewal of the audit contract with Kerry Patten, C.P.A.; and the re-sults from the February 11th school election.

After entering and return-ing from executive session where renewal of teacher contracts was discussed, the motion was made to rehire all career and probationary teachers. Those include

I want to start out with my wife’s favorite story of the week . . .

The waiter approached a table for two and said, “Wel-come, madam, and what would you like for dinner?”

“Filet mignon, medium rare.” “A wise choice, madam,” the waiter replied. “And for

your vegetable?” “He’ll have the same.”

—CC— In my lifetime profanity has gone from rare to regular

in almost every phase of life. The following article, writ-ten by Alex McFarland, is worth reading and sharing . . .

Magic Mountain, an amusement park in Southern California, is known for a roller coaster named X. Co-incidentally, I was there to speak at a youth event when I overheard an X-rated conversation—between churched teens no less. It prompted me to address the issue from stage. I asked, “How many of you struggle with using bad language?” Many hands went up. I followed up with questions we’ve all probably considered at some point: Is it wrong for a Christian to use curse words? If so, why? And what makes profanity, well, profane?

Entertainment is full of swear words, sexual innuendo and scatological slang. In a recent study of primetime TV, Parents Television Council identified more than 11,000 expletives – twice as many as were used a decade ago. Indeed, in our coarsening culture, some young people can’t recall a time when f-bombs weren’t part of “nor-

mal” discourse. Kids use it because they’ve grown up hearing profanity and having it reinforced by the media. And somehow it becomes a personal habit that even Christian teens may consider acceptable in certain situations.

I’ve heard people argue that words are just sounds to which we attach meaning but to deny the power of language, one must argue the point with what? With words. And those combina-tions of letters and sounds assume that meaning will

be conveyed, heard and grasped. You assume that your listener understands what you’re saying. We can’t get around the fact that words contain meaning.

Words also yield con-sequences. For proof that language matters, consider that we have an entire lexi-con associated with their misuse: fraud, slander, li-bel, perjury, harassment, defamation. For those who deny the objective nature of language, I suggest that they don’t test their position by publicly making a joke

about harming the president or jest about explosives while riding on an airplane. A U.S. Marshal will be summoned to quickly help the grasp that, yes, words have meaning. The ways people abuse words have social, legal and even spiri-tual implication.

All to Jesus I Surren-der

The Bible reminds us that our words should honor God and benefit others. Ephe-sians 4:29 says, “Do not let any unwholesome talk

come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up ac-cording to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” James 1:26 warns us to keep a tight rein on our tongues, while Colossians 3:8 says, “Rid yourselves of all things such as these: anger, rage, malice, slander and filthy language from your lips.”

Regarding the use of coarse language by believ-ers, some people contend that since Christ has made us free, how we say things doesn’t really matter. While salvation sets us free from the penalty of sin, freedom doesn’t equal license. In fact, the Bible makes it clear that Christians have an ob-ligation to pursue holiness (Ephesians 4:24; Titus 2; 1 Peter 1:5 and 2:24).

Indeed, God’s ownership of a believer extends even to the words we use. Ac-cording to 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 we’re mere stew-ards. Jesus Christ owns us, including our minds and mouths. Spiritual maturity requires that we yield ev-erything to God.

Judged by the Words We Use

Teens should submit their vocabularies to the lordship of Christ, in part because God is always listening. His grace is perfect, but if words didn’t matter Jesus wouldn’t have said, “I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every care-less word they have spo-ken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:36-37).

Profane means “unholy” or “unwholesome.” Some types of speech are literally unholy. Spouting certain four-letter words can hinder spiritual growth, harm re-lationships with others and undermine our credibility as bearers of Gospel truth.

Christians possess an ad-vantage by having a pure well of words from which to draw. Years ago, as a new believer working my way through college, a su-perior noticed that I didn’t

tell off-color jokes or use foul language like others in that workplace. Not only did this create a witness-ing opportunity, but I was promoted to a level that no 21-year-old had ever held in that company. My boss later told me that my habit of avoiding profanity led him to promote me.

Every communicator has thousands of words at his or her disposal. In the quest for individuality and self-expression, there’s no shortage of raw material. So talk! But do so only in ways that speak well of ourselves, of others and of the Savior.

—CC— And speaking of bad lan-

guage . . . Home from college at

semester break, a girl told her mother that she was go-ing to a movie that evening with other college students. Under questioning, she admitted that “the movie had some bad language, but they won’t hurt me.”

At that moment, the mother was making a tossed salad. With her daughter looking, on she quietly fished out a handful of gar-bage and dumped it into the salad.

Horrified, the girl ex-claimed, “Mother, why did you do that?”

Came the reply, “Since you don’t seem to mind fill-ing your mind with garbage, I thought you wouldn’t mind filling your stomach, too.”

—CC—Today In History . . .On March 13, 1939, the

oldest institution of higher learning in the United States was named for Puritan min-ister John Harvard, one of the school’s earliest and greatest benefactors.

Historians know little about John Harvard’s life. The son of a London butch-er, he was born in 1607 near the Surrey end of London Bridge, and as a young man he received his education at Emmanuel College, part of the University of Cam-

bridge. By the 1630s, his father and most of his fam-ily had died of the plague. His inheritance made him a well-to-do member of Eng-land’s middle class.

Faced with religious persecution, Harvard joined the wave of Puritans emi-grating to America for a better life and chance to worship freely. In 1637 he and his wife, Ann, arrived in New England and became inhabitants of Charlestown, Massachusetts. That same year, he became a teaching elder of the First Church of Charlestown, a posi-tion that required him to explain scripture and give sermons.

But John Harvard did not last long in the New World. A little more than a year after his arrival, he died of consumption. On his deathbed he bequeathed 779L (half his estate) and a collection of about four hun-dred books to a college that had been founded in 1636 in Newtown (now Cambridge, Massachusetts).

It was a generous gift, one that helped launch the fledgling college on its mis-sion to educate students in a classical curriculum and Puritan theology. In 1639 the Massachusetts General Court decided to name the school Harvard College in honor of the minister.

Today the name Harvard is a good reminder that many of this country’s finest uni-versities trace their roots to churches and clergymen who realized that without educated citizens, America could not thrive.

Other Highlights In History This Week . . .

1939—Harvard Col-lege is named for one of its first benefactors, clergyman John Harvard.

1868—The Senate be-gins the impeachment trial of President Andrew John-son.

1928—The St. Francis Dam gives way on a reser-voir 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles, killing at least 450 people.

1930—Clyde W. Tom-baugh and fellow astrono-mers at Lowell Observa-tory in Flagstaff, Arizona, announce the discovery of a ninth planet, later named Pluto.

Thought For The Week . . .

There are three kinds of givers – the flint, the sponge and the honeycomb. To get anything out of the FLINT you must hammer it. And then you get only chips and sparks.

To get water out of a SPONGE you must squeeze it, and the more pressure you use, the more you will get. But the HONEYCOMB

In the summer I am not bothered much with mice, however, when the weather gets cold they begin to come into the house to find a warmer place to stay. When I find evidence that mice have come into the house, some Peppermint Oil gets spread around. This

will keep them away. It is put on cotton pads and left near the doorways.

This fall I was cleaning out the cupboard where I store mostly canned goods and found that mice had been there. So out comes the Peppermint Oil. The next day there was a dead

mouse right out in the hall. Oil will keep the mice away so it is a good thing to put it out in storage buildings or cellars that will be gone into often. In addition to my closets, I have put it out in my darkroom for several years.

Well, I read that mice can get pregnant at four weeks of age, however, it is un-believably hard on them if they do. They should not have their first babies until they are at least two months old. They can be impreg-nated almost immediately after giving birth. So you can have a lot of mice in

your home during the win-ter months.

If your children have pet mice, the female and male should be separated so the female does not get pregnant too often. Since pregnancies are hard on a mouse, in order to have the pets awhile longer, keep the male and female apart most of the time

A mouse is beginning to be elderly at eight months of age. They can have a lot of babies during that time if they become pregnant soon after each time they give birth. Think what goes on in your house if you have

no control on how those mice get around. Just go buy some Peppermint Oil and use it.

Phylece had pet Gerbils when she was in grade school. They are very simi-lar to mice in my opinion. Once they got out of the cage and we searched the house over and over, try-ing to find them. I was especially anxious at night, I could just imagine them crawling in my bed. After about four days, we found them in one of the clothes closets. They had found a cache of peanuts and were very happy in the new nest they had made. I was very relieved to get them back in the cage.

Services for John Augus-tine Ashby, 82, of Allen, were 10:00 a.m. Monday, March 10th, at the Richmond Avenue Free Will Baptist Church, Rev. Buddy Drake officiated. Burial followed at Allen Cemetery.

Mr. Ashby died Wednes-day, March 5, 2014 at a McAlester hospital. He was born July 11, 1931 in Field Creek, Texas to Wil-liam Robert and Ella Coffee Ashby. He graduated from Atwood High School in 1948.

He married Carol Nadine Drum on October 16, 1958. She preceded him in death on February 23, 2008. Mr. Ashby worked for Solo

Cup Company and was a Diesel Mechanic for United Engines in Oklahoma City. He was also a member of the Richmond Avenue Free Will Baptist Church in Al-len. Mr. Ashby served in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict.

Survivors include a daughter, Diane Buelow and husband Keith of Ada; a son, Brent Ashby and wife Cathy of Allen; four grand-children, Tiffany Clifford, Justin Clifford, Jonathan Ashby, and Tanner Ashby; seven great grandchildren,

Dawson, Bryce, Treston, Maddy, Korbin, Kaden, and Remington.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, W. R. Ashby; and two sis-ters, Pauline Maddox and Lorene Storey.

Bearers were John Howry, Tanner Ashby, Jonathan Ashby, Justin Clifford, Tommy McFerran and Rob-ert Bullen.

Arrangements were under the direction of Criswell Funeral Home, Ada.

Pat’s older brother Don has been ailing down in Southern Alabama for a while now and thus her other brother, Fred, decided it was prudent for some Oklahoma fam-ily to go down there and check in on him. There are six siblings in that family—Don, Pat, Freda, Margaret, Carol and Fred. Fred and his wife Theda volunteered to take their comfy Chevrolet Van and Carol and Pat went along too. I thought about not going with this wing of the Ellis clan but thought better of it and jumped on board at the last mo-ment.

One reason I sort of wavered on the trip is that it’s so far. As best I can tell the trip to down near the Gulf Coast is 738 miles. It can be made in one day if you’re young and don’t have any blood pressure problems, blood clotting disorders, travel phobia or heart trouble. We took two days going and two days coming back. We spent three nights with Don and his ever-busy wife Cathy deep in the piney woods of far south Alabama enjoying the company, the southern food and great Alabama hospital-

ity. Don was happy to see us and us him. We spent a busy schedule with that couple and headed back home Sunday morning.

It was good for me to get to spend time with this guy again. I first met Don when I was about 10 years old when we were both kind of new in town. We became friends that day riding our bikes and got better acquainted on those soft summer days on the dirt streets of Stonewall. By that time I had already met my wife, Pat, and since I already knew who she was, I sort of knew who he was. We have been good buddies ever since—Don I mean, not my wife. Oh well, the wife and I are pretty good buddies too. Don grew up and had an illustrious career in the military. During his 27 years of service he served in the Navy, the Air Force and finished up serving his country as an officer in the Army.

Don served his country well in each branch but it was in the Army that he served two full tours in Vietnam. He wound

up over there on another short tour at the end of the war helping the Army get equipment shipped home, salvaging what he could and sometimes having to destroy it. Don saw combat in Vietnam and for his service received several awards, including the Bronze Star.

Don and others like him have been through a lot in their lives in service to their countries and many times we are unable to re-ally convey our gratitude for what these men and

women have done for our country. Words often fail us but a simple “Thank you for your service” works pretty well in that direction. And to Don just let me say this: “Thanks, Brother-in-law.”

It was, as always, great to get back home and it’s good to see that signs of spring have start-ed edging in. I’m very grateful for that. I hope your week is great and that you can go to Church this Sunday.

What are you looking for in a church? 1). Some people, following family and personal traditions, look for a church like the one their parents attended and familiar to them. 2). Some do not want to travel far, so they look for one near their home. 3). Desiring to feel welcome and wanted, some people look for a church with “friendly people.” 4). Some look for a big church, where they can get lost in the crowd. Others look for a small church, where they can quickly get to know everybody. 5). Some look for a church with a good “youth program” or “fam-ily center.” 6). Some want a church that is trying to “solve world problems” or committed to social reform and community improve-ment.

In the above list, did you notice that nothing is men-tioned about looking for a church that pleases God or worships and serves God according to His will? Many people are looking for a church that pleases them, rather than a church that pleases God. Jesus said, “In vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.” (Matt 15:9)

Wouldn’t it be better to look for the following in a church? 1). A church that respects the sovereignty of God and the authority of Jesus Christ. 2). A church that respects the Bible as the inspired Word of God, and the gospel of Christ as the power of God unto salvation. 3). A church that strives to be like the church established by Jesus Christ and described in the New Testament – in name, or-ganization, teaching, work and worship. 4) A church that places the emphasis on the spiritual need of man, on saving the lost and man’s eternal destiny. Shouldn’t our goal be to please God rather than ourselves?

Don was born and raised in Warren, Ohio. When he was only 17, he moved to California and that’s where he met Mom. They were married for more than 29 years. He was a great Dad and took my older brother and me on weekend fishing trips. We moved back to Oklahoma to care for my Grandma – and liked it so much we stayed. Dad worked for years in heating and air-conditioning and eventually opened his own successful business. He was intelligent, funny and loved to ride his Harley.Dad was hurt in a motorcycle accident, and he never recovered. It didn’t surprise any of us to find out that he signed up to be a donor. We miss his quiet strength and brilliant humor.

Sam recently showed his goat “Spike” in the 2014 Pon-totoc County Livestock Show and made it to the Premium Sale. He has also been on the Superintendent’s Honor Roll all of the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years.

Sam enjoys playing video games on his X-Box and hang-ing with his friends, and his service dog, Stella. Someday he wants to be a video game app creator.

His teachers say that, in addition to being a straight A student, he “has a positive outlook on everything. He’s always in a good mood and never complains even when it would be easy for him to do so. Sam is always very respectful.”

ELIZABETH THOMPSON, PA-C

In the lab where the magic happens!! What a terrific group of scientists! Dr. “B” is a terribly nice guy, passionate for finding a cure. Sam and his parents and Stella tour the lab where a cure is being created.

In June of 2000, Sam Brown started out life as a healthy, ornery, normal little boy. However, as time progressed and Sam grew, it slowly became apparent that something was possibly amiss. Sam began experi-encing increased falling, clumsiness, fatigue, and the slow loss of coordina-tion by the time he was in kindergarten. Two years of countless tests and numer-ous doctors could not pin-point what the root cause of his declining abilities was. By age 8 however, Sam was finally diagnosed with Frie-dreich’s Ataxia, or FA.

What is FA? It is a genet-ic, progressive, neuromus-cular disease. FA affects approximately 1 in 50,000 people or 15,000 world-wide. Even though it is categorized as a rare or or-phan disease, it is the most commonly diagnosed form of ataxia. While the most obvious effect of FA is the loss of walking and mo-bility, it also can cause scoliosis, Type 1 diabetes, slurred speech, eventual hearing and vision loss, and a severely enlarged heart in the late stages of the disease. FA has profoundly affected Sam in many of these areas in just the 6 short years that he’s been diagnosed. At present time, there is no approved treat-ment or cure for FA.

But.........there is HOPE on the horizon! Enter the formation of FARA, or the Friedreich’s Ataxia Re-search Alliance, in 1998 - a group that supports FA patients and the pursuit of treatments and a cure for FA. They work tirelessly to bring awareness to FA and to raise money for trials and research. Blood tests are now available that detects the faulty genetic code that

leads to a diagnosis of FA. At press time, 10 drugs are currently in various stages of development and clini-cal trials in people with FA around the world. An entire community of FA patients, their families, and busi-nesses are active fundrais-ing partners for FARA. The result of this relentless pur-suit for effective treatments has led science to move at an astonishingly fast pace towards a cure. And for so many affected by FA, get-ting closer to treatments and a cure for this awful disease no longer seems like just a mere wish, but an eventual reality.

It is a reality that Sam and his family cling to and hope to see in his fu-ture. To do their part in fundraising for research, the Brown’s are participat-ing in the 4th annual Dal-las RideAtaxia on March 29th at the UNT stadium in Denton (rideataxia.org/dal-las). RideAtaxia is a FARA sponsored bike riding event across the United States that has generated more than 2.5 million dollars for research since it began in 2007 by Kyle Bryant, who also has FA. Sam’s bike riding team, Sam’s Soldiers, hopes to be able to raise several thousand dollars for Friedriech’s research this year through various fundraisers such as tshirts, “Cookies for a Cure”, and the generous donations of their community.

Mario’s Mexican Restau-rant is excited to sponsor a night for Sam’s Soldiers bike team and for FA re-search this coming Satur-day, March 15th. A portion of the day’s proceeds will directly benefit FARA and RideAtaxia. The Brown family knows that without the support and commit-

ment of their community to pray, hope, and come alongside them, this would be a lonely uphill climb. They remain grateful for

every expression of support whether large or small, for it doesn’t benefit just Sam - it aids in keeping hope alive for so many others who are

living with the daily strug-gles of FA and desperately wanting a cure to appear on their horizon, too.

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Asher Indians own the richest tradition in the history of Oklahoma high school baseball. The Indians also own the most baseball state championships.

Allen High School coach Stephen Caldwell was well aware of the challenge fac-ing his Mustangs on Fri-day. That’s what made the outcome of Allen’s season opener so stunning.

“We went to their place and beat them on their own field,” said the elated AHS boss. “We beat the best baseball program in the state.”

Allen scored a 7-5 victory over the Indians. The con-test played out in a 7-inning showdown at the Murl Bo-wen Baseball Field at Asher High School. The legendary coach was on hand to see the Mustangs shoot down his beloved Asher baseball team.

“Mr. Bowen watched our game,” said Coach Caldwell. “It was really a special feeling for me to be there and see our team beat such a great baseball school. It was really some-

thing special for all of us to be a part of and to share.”

Asher took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first in-ning. The Indians carried the advantage until the top of the fifth inning.

Allen was scoreless and needing a spark as the fifth frame opened. The Mus-tangs managed to get Pat-rick Leonard and Little Sky Frazier on the bases. However, there were two away and hope was fading when Tommy Peay strolled to the plate. Peay worked the pitch count to 2-2 and then looked for something to drive. The Asher pitcher made the mistake of trying to throw a fastball by the Allen slugger. Peay took a might swing and deposited the baseball over the fence in left center field.

“It was a 400-foot shot,” said Coach Caldwell. “He got all of it and just crushed it.”

Peay’s 3-run blast erased the 2-0 deficit and replaced it with a 3-2 Allen lead.

“That home run was so huge for us,” the Allen coach said.

Asher fought back in the bottom of the fifth inning.

The Indians scored once to tie the game at 3-3.

Allen didn’t take the lead again until the top of the seventh inning. The Mus-tangs struck for 4 runs to the shock of the Asher fans. Peay had a hand in the late heroics with a 2-run single to finish the game with 5 RBI.

Asher came to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Indians needed 5 runs to win or 4 runs to tie. However, the home team managed only 2 runs before making the final out in a 7-5 loss to Allen.

The 8-hit Mustang offen-sive showing was led by Ty Brown. The freshman catcher was a team-best 3-for-4 and drove in 1 run. He and Peay were the only multiple-hit batters for Al-len.

Dakota Nickel l was 1-for-3 with a single and a sacrifice bunt. Nick Wallen was 1-for-4 with 1 RBI. Shawn Rolen rounded out the list with a 1-for-3 show-ing at the plate.

Coach Caldwell was hap-py with his hitters. How-ever, he also praised the performance by the two pitchers he pressed into service against Asher.

Nick Wallen was the opening-day starter. The junior right-hander pitched

4 innings. Wallen allowed 2 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks while striking out 1 batter.

Tommy Peay came on in relief and worked the final 3 innings. Peay earned the mound victory by allow-ing 3 runs on 3 hits and 1 walk.

“He had 2 strikeouts,” said Coach Caldwell. “The last one was for the final out in the bottom of the seventh inning. He ended the game with a strikeout and that was a great way to get it done.”

The Allen celebration was for good reason.

“This was huge for our

program and what we are trying to build here,” the coach said. “But it was not for the state championship. It was one win against a great opponent. Our goal for the season is to still be playing in May. We will be trying to get to the state tournament and play for something really big!”

The jubilant Mustangs celebrated the win over Asher with a post-game meal at McDonald’s.

On Tuesday, Allen was back on the home diamond. The Mustangs hosted the Wetumka Chieftains in a varsity baseball game.

“We won 16-3 and we had a really big crowd … a lot of fans … at the game,” said Coach Caldwell. “It was a good night for Allen baseball.”

The Mustangs led 3-0 af-ter one inning and 7-0 after the second inning. Both teams scored once in the third quarter, making it an 8-1 contest.

Wetumka scored twice in the top of the fourth frame to make it an 8-3 game. The Mustangs countered with an 8-run outbreak in the bot-tom of the fourth inning to seal the 16-3 win.

Little Sky Frazier man-aged only one hit in the game. However, the senior made the most of his base-knock. Frazier came to bat with the bases loaded. The lefty blistered a line-drive into the gap in right

Coach Caldwell thrilled with back to back victoriescenter. He rocketed around the bases for a grand slam inside-the-park home run to end the game.

“He’s our fastest player on the team,” said Coach Caldwell. “He sure looked like it when he scored that inside-the-park home run!”

Tommy Peay, Ty Brown and Shawn Rolen all feasted on Chieftain pitching. Peay was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate with a double, 2 triples and drove in 3 runs.

Ty Brown was also 3-for-3 with a double and drove in 1 run.

Shawn Rolen finished the game at 2-for-2 with a double and single.

Tommy Peay was the starting pitcher and earned the victory. Peay worked 3 and 1/3 innings and allowed 1 run. He recorded 7 strike-

outs en route to the win.Nick Wallen was insert-

ed to finish the game. He pitched 2/3 of an inning. He surrendered 2 runs and recorded 1 strikeout.

“They threw the ball well against Wetumka, but not as good as they had down at Asher,” the coach said. “But they hit their spots most of the time and we worked on some things like work-ing the count. Our defense played good behind them and that’s always good.”

Allen is off to a good start. However, the Mustangs will need strong leadership from the team’s two seniors – Shawn Rolen and Little Sky Frazier. The younger Mus-tangs are very talented and will get better as they get more varsity experience.

Looking ahead, the Mus-tangs will travel to Vanoss

to play in a 3-day festival event. Allen is the No. 1 seed in the field and will be paired with Wanette in the opener. The game starts at 1 p.m. at Vanoss High School.

Surely we’re on the downhill side of winter now. Of course we may be sliding down that hill on a sled, but still…

Please be in prayer for the Revival Meeting at our church scheduled for March 27-29. Rev. Clint Dawkins from Tecumseh will be the evangelist, and Rev. Speedy Briggs will lead the singing. We are looking forward to hearing their message, so please join us at 7:00 each evening of the revival.

Tom Spillman sang “On Hallelujah Square” during the worship service this

Sunday. Some day none will be blind or crippled, and we’ll all live forever on Hallelujah Square. As Tom sang, I’m sure we were all thinking of friends and family we’ll get to join on Hallelujah Square and sing praises to God. No wonder the songwriter called the song “Hallelujah Square!”

Rev. Karch’s message was from Matthew 5:17-24 and Matthew 6:38-42. Jesus said in his sermon on the mountain that he did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; he came to fulfill them. Everything

God says is going to happen in both the Old and New Testaments will happen.

Jesus said that the com-mandment that we not kill also applies to treating oth-ers in a way that kills them inside. The word “fool” is for those who are foolish enough to not accept Christ as their savior. It is not our job to judge people in this way.

Jesus says, too, that when we give an offering to God we should give it with a righteous heart that is free of conflict with others.

Adulterous thoughts and imaginations are still adul-

tery. If you know you will be tempted to sin, do what-ever it takes to avoid the situation.

Don’t demand an eye for an eye. Be a bigger person than that. Go “the extra mile” to be at peace with others. Love your enemies, bless those who hate you, persecute you, and despite-fully use you. What? No, Jesus certainly didn’t come to do away with the law. His way is the way to fulfill it.

Then Jesus gave us the

secret to success. The se-cret is that we must, before we proceed with anything, put God first in our lives and seek his will. If we do this, He will provide for us as only God can.

As we look around us, we can see that God creates an astoundingly beautiful and yet intricate world for us to live in. If he has done all this for us, he will take care of us, too.

Atwood Baptist Church News

Sunday our crowd came in slowly as many were getting used to the time change. I’m sure we will adjust but it takes a few days. These are busy days in the church with wed-dings, singings, and garage sales being planned. Sunday, March 30th we will have our Fifth Sunday Singing with snacks to follow in the fellowship hall. Other churches will be coming so we should have lots of good singing. April the 5th we will have our annual garage and bake sale for our youth. Put both of those dates on your calendars.

Sunday, Murphy sang “Amazing Grace Medley” for our special. Bro. Larry’s ser-mon was taken from 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 and entitled “All Things are made new in Christ.” We were once guilty of sin and bound for hell, but repentance allowed God to forgive our sins. We are empowered to live brand new lives. It began the day we accepted Christ as Savior. We may still make mistakes. The devil may try to convince us that nothing has changed, but we know we are not the same. God’s Spirit within us will never again allow us to be comfortable with sin.

The day we accept Christ we become children of God. God accepts us as His own. We are loved the way Christ is loved. As Children of God we have privileges. We are heirs to the kingdom of God. We have a future that is assured. As Children of God we have obligations. We must live honorable and holy lives and point others to the Way of Life.

T h e c h i l d r e n o f Charles W. Leewright along with Robinson Publish-ing Company are proud to announce the upcoming release of his second novel, The Buck Bush Patch – The story of a backward boy.

When Harley Verner whipped me that Saturday afternoon in the wagon yard of the Willow Grove Baptist Church, I suddenly realized what an immature wimp I really was. I had never seen Harley before, but we got acquainted mighty fast. He looked to be at least a year younger than I was, but he was wiry, and his fists were as hard as flint. His first punch did considerable damage to my face, but after that he kept on hitting me until my nose bled all over the bib of my Roundhouse overalls and my right eye was swollen shut. At first, I tried to defend myself, but in all my seventeen years, my parents had never al-lowed me to fight, so I was totally unprepared for his attack. I just stood there and took it.

The story of the Wheeler family is a fictional narrative, written from true

events from many family histories, using real and fictional people, and actual places.

Author Charles W. Leewright grew up in rural Hughes County Oklahoma. He graduated from Moss School in 1953 and studied at Oklahoma A & M and Amarillo College. Charles was a Specialist 4 in the U.S. Army, serving from 1954 to 1956. He spent 14 years in Texas and worked at Pantex Atomic Energy Plant.

After returning to Holdenville in 1973, he worked for Oklahoma Nat-ural Gas Company for 18 years, receiving commen-dation from Mayor Jack Barrett for outstanding ser-vice to the community.

Charles was active in the Holdenville Lion’s Club, serving one year as president. He has been a member of the Church of the Nazarene for 49 years.

After retirement from Oklahoma Natural Gas Company, he began seri-ously pursuing his dream of writing. His first novel, Rayben, was released in 2010 and has been given many outstanding reviews.

Charles and his wife, Beth live in Holdenville, Oklahoma. They have four children; Charles David Leewright, Diane Bennett, Dayna Robinson and Darla Craft; ten grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Copies are available

now at Robinson Publish-ing Co., 114 N. Broadway, Holdenville. You may order with credit or debit card by phone (405-379-5814), or by mailing your check or money order for $15.00 + $3.00 shipping to Robin-son Publishing Co., P.O. Box 30, Holdenville, OK 74848.
