MIDDELPORT — Middleport
Council passed a public health
measure and received good news
on a major sewer project during
its most recent meeting.
Working with the Meigs County
Health Department (MCHD),
Middleport passed an ordinance
prohibiting alcohol, tobacco, and
illicit drugs from the village’s four
parks and marina.
Laura Cleland of the MCHD
also circulated an information
sheet to council featuring details
of Middleport’s splash park.
The Meigs branch of the Creat-

ing Healthy Communities coalition helped bring grant funds to
Middleport last summer for the
child centered rec area. Cleland
said the ﬂyer was a ﬁnal step of
the grant process, to review and
highlight successes.
Village Administrator Joe Woodall reviewed ﬁnancial details of
a major sewer project, including
$2,312,351 awarded by the Ohio
EPA for Phase I. Per Woodall, the
two phase project will eliminate
an ongoing issue of ﬂooding basements, and separate runoff out of
an abandoned mine from the village’s water system, substantially
reducing the burden on that infrastructure.

“Due to Joe’s hard work, (Phase
I) is 100 percent paid for by the
Ohio EPA,” said Fiscal Ofﬁcer Sue
Baker.
Without the grant, “$2.3 million would be $8 a month increase
for the next 30 years, for every
Middleport customer.”
In council business, Trick-orTreat was set for Thursday, Oct.
26 from 6-7 p.m.; a “Kids Playing”
sign was approved from Lagoon
Road; and outstanding ﬁnes for
overgrown grass were waived for a
new property owner. Mayor Sandy
Iannarelli also asked pool owners
to be vigilant cleaning in the fall,

Trouble
From page 3

Nobody likes to wait. It’s
not enjoyable. It appears to
be a waste of time. But catch
this: the wait is never a waste
of time. Sometimes, God
must teach us patience before
He shows us an answer.
Your patient, persistent
presence leads to revelation.
God has recently shown me
a beautiful passage of Scripture in Matthew.
“Then Jesus left Galilee
and went north to the region
of Tyre and Sidon. A Gentile
woman who lived there came
to him, pleading, ‘Have mercy
on me, O Lord, Son of David!
For my daughter is possessed
by a demon that torments her
severely.’
But Jesus gave her no reply,
not even a word. Then, his
disciples urged him to send
her away. ‘Tell her to go
away,’ they said. ‘She is bothering us with all her begging.’
Then Jesus said to the
woman, ‘I was sent only to
help God’s lost sheep—the
people of Israel.’
But she came and worshiped him, pleading again,
‘Lord, help me!’
Jesus responded, ‘It isn’t
right to take food from the
children and throw it to the
dogs.’
She replied, ‘That’s true,
Lord, but even dogs are
allowed to eat the scraps that
fall beneath their masters’
table.’
‘Dear woman,’ Jesus said
to her, ‘your faith is great.
Your request is granted.’ And
her daughter was instantly
healed” (Matthew 15:21-28
NLT).
Do you have the faith to
wait?
This woman may have felt
ignored (v. 23), unwelcomed
(v. 23), rejected (v. 24), and
insulted (v. 26). But she was
patient enough—persistent
enough—to stay. And God
gave her perspective. She
received her request.
Will you stick around when
you don’t hear a reply? Will
you stick around when others
put you down?

Maybe Jesus would say
something if you only stuck
around long enough to hear
it. Maybe God is “ignoring”
you because He’s testing your
persistence.
The third word is “quietly.”
Last week, I wrote about
the importance of listening to
God. Sometimes, we can tune
Him out. Maybe we talk too
much. Maybe we have preconceived ideas and wishes on
the situation.
When’s the last time you
gave God an opportunity to
speak during your prayer?
If you’re anything like me,
you often say your part, close
with an “amen,” and sleep.
What if God has something
to say?
There’s “…a time to be quiet
and a time to speak” (Ecclesiastes 3:7 NLT).
Lastly, “hope.”
We all need hope. What do
we have to look forward to
when life seems hopeless?
Jesus.
“And so, dear brothers and
sisters, we can boldly enter
heaven’s Most Holy Place
because of the blood of Jesus.
By his death, Jesus opened
a new and life-giving way
through the curtain into the
Most Holy Place. And since
we have a great High Priest
who rules over God’s house,
let us go right into the presence of God with sincere
hearts fully trusting him. For
our guilty consciences have
been sprinkled with Christ’s
blood to make us clean, and
our bodies have been washed
with pure water. Let us hold
tightly without wavering to
the hope we afﬁrm, for God
can be trusted to keep his
promise” (Hebrews 10:19-23
NLT).
Because of what Jesus has
done for us on the cross,
there’s nothing that can
separate us from God. Nothing can separate us from His
hope. So walk into His presence, trusting Him to fulﬁll
His promises.
“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope
is in him” (Psalm 62:5 NLT).

wind up ﬂying inadvertently
headlong into the judgment of
God by simply disregarding
His presence.
What makes this so suggestive to me involves observations I make of people locally
and our nation at large. Locally, people seem to recognize
the blessings of God, but have
no compulsion whatsoever
that faithful worship of Him is
the right response. Nationally,
I observe people consumed
with sports and manifold luxuries that occupy times which
have been Scripturally set for
worship. It used to be that
sports participations for kids
were never set for Wednesdays or Sundays, but, because
that has changed, so has it
changed for church participations.
We ﬂy to the feeders that
ALMIGHTY GOD!! has graciously provided. Then we act
as though He is not worthy of
worship recognition. What I
believe is that these national
natural disasters and these
man-made national tragedies
are ways God is trying to get
our attention to prioritize
Him in our national conscience.
One more thing: the birds
that ﬂy into our house usually
become snacks for Shasta, our
cat. The comparison is obvious: do we want to spiritually
become a judgment snack
ourselves? It might help if we
start ﬂying better spiritually.

Jesus said once, concerning
the poor, that we would have

any such thing as some sort

deceiving or being deceived.
The problem with all these
false prophets that keep claiming this date or that date is

a false sense of complacency.

another, we need to be ready
for that eventuality.
So, let us resolve to stop
seeking after signs and just get
on with the business of doing
what God wants so that we
will be ready each and every
day.
If you are not sure exactly
what you need to do to be
ready, but would like to learn,
the church of Christ invites
you to study and worship with
us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio. Likewise, if you
have any questions, please
share them with us through
our website: chapelhillchurchofchrist.org.

When He acts to
redeem us from our sin
and the hopelessness
that characterizes a life
that is bound to it, no
one can reverse it. As we
turn to Him, we come to
the one place that truly
is safe no matter the
howling gales of trouble
and cruelty. As we walk
with Him through faith
in Jesus Christ, abiding in the center of His
will, we ﬁnd that we are
also in the center of His
mercy and are the recipients of wellsprings of
His grace.
“He who dwells in the
secret place of the Most
High will rest in the
shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD,
‘He is my refuge and
my fortress, my God, in
Whom I trust…. If only I
will pay attention to His
commands, my peace
will be like a river, my
righteousness like the
waves of the sea’” (from

us, lead us, and purify
us, we’ll ﬁnally actually begin living in the
freedom with which God
desires to wrap us.
“Bring out the people
who are blind, yet have
eyes, who are deaf, yet
have ears!… ‘You are My
witnesses,’ declares the
LORD, ‘and My servant
whom I have chosen,
that you may know and
believe Me and understand that I am He.
Before Me no god was
formed, nor shall there
be any after Me. I, I am
the LORD, and besides
Me there is no savior. I
declared and saved and
proclaimed, when there
was no strange god
among you; and you are
My witnesses,’ declares
the LORD, ‘and I am
God. Also henceforth
I am He; there is none
who can deliver from My
hand; I work, and who
can turn it back?” (Isaiah 43:8, 10-13 ESV).

our hurt, His heart aching from the pain that
we bear.
“When Jesus saw her
weeping, and the Jews
who had come with
her also weeping, He
was deeply moved in
His spirit and greatly
troubled…. Jesus wept”
(from John 11:33, 35).
The fact that our basic
nature is not in harmony
with His is deeply troubling to God. And when
the awful fruits of our
“independence” from
Him ripen, yielding us a
feast of trouble and grief
that we cannot swallow,
the compassion of God
is stirred up and His
Spirit reaches out to
ours with an invitation
to repent and turn to
Him. And if in spite of
our spiritual blindness
and deafness, we can
ﬁnally discern the truth
that we truly DO need

Second, when people get their
hopes up, and then those
hopes are dashed, they stop
taking the whole business
seriously. But just because
it hasn’t come doesn’t mean
there won’t be an end, and we
should be ready for that eventuality. If for no other reason,
one day we will die, and then
this world will have ended for
us.
Concerning the end of time,
the Bible tells us that it will
come as “a thief in the night.”
(2 Peter 3:10; cf. Matthew
24:43-44) Which is another
way of saying there won’t be
any signs or warnings.

Local golfers
fall shy of state,
season ends
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@aimmediamidwest.com

WILLIAMSPORT, Ohio — Unfortunately, the
third time was not the state charm for Meigs
senior Levi Chapman.
Nor was the ﬁrst time for Meigs junior Wyatt
Nicholson or Gallia Academy senior Kaden
Thomas.
With that, the Ohio Valley Publishing area’s
ofﬁcial golf season came to an end on Wednesday, as none of those three individuals advanced
out of the Division II boys district tournament,
which took place at Crown Hill Golf Club in
Pickaway County.
Chapman, Nicholson and Thomas all
advanced to the district competition as individual qualiﬁers, as Chapman made his third
consecutive — and ﬁnal — appearance.
Wednesday was Nicholson’s and Thomas’ ﬁrst
trip to the district round, as Thomas played his
ﬁnal match for GAHS.
Chapman did come quite close to qualifying
for the state tournament, as he ﬁred an 81 for
18 holes.
He had a 41 on the Crown Hill front nine and
a 40 on the back, but ultimately ended up two
strokes shy of a potential playoff.
Chapman ﬁnished tied for eighth with two
other golfers, as the ﬁnal two state qualiﬁers
were Waverly’s tandem of Talon Osborne and
Conner Heffner.
Both Tigers shot identical 79s, as Logan Reed
of Rock Hill decimated the 59-man ﬁeld and
recorded a stunning 69 for the match medalist
and individual state qualifying honors.
Reed’s 38 on the front was followed by a ﬁery
31 on the back.
Chapman’s Marauder teammate, Nicholson,
notched a 43 on the front side and a 41 on the
back for an 84.
Nicholson ﬁnished tied for 12th overall, while
Thomas tallied a 92 and tied for 31st.
He posted a 47 on the front and a 45 for the
back.

Steelers star Antonio Brown
apologizes for ‘all the noise’

OH-70002611

60730473

PITTSBURGH (AP)
— Antonio Brown is
nearly getting as much
practice at saying “I’m
sorry” as he is at catching touchdowns.
The Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver
apologized via Twitter
on Wednesday for his
sideline outburst early
in his team’s victory in
Baltimore last Sunday.
Brown broke free on
Pittsburgh’s second possession and was wide
open down the left sideline.
Quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger didn’t see
Brown and instead threw
the ball short. Brown
brieﬂy lost his cool

afterward, taking out his
frustration on a Gatorade
cooler in the process.
“Apologize for all the
noise and the distractions Steeler nation let’s
stay focus,” the All-Pro
posted.
Roethlisberger
described Brown’s
actions as a “temper tantrum” during the quarterback’s weekly radio show
and coach Mike Tomlin
encouraged Brown to be
“professional,” though
it hardly seemed to create any sort of rift in the
team’s locker room.
Defensive end Cam
Heyward joked it’s not as
if Brown acted like former Indiana basketball

coach Bob Knight, who
once famously threw a
chair across the ﬂoor in
the middle of a game.
“He got mad one play,
so what?” Heyward said.
“He’s not Bob Knight.
He’s not throwing a chair
on the court, saying this
and that, cursing out
everybody. It’s sports.
You’re supposed to be
competitive. You’re supposed to be mad sometimes.”
This isn’t the ﬁrst time
the highly productive
but occasionally pouty
Brown has drawn attention for something other
than being one of the
most dynamic receivers
in the league.
