Today’s highlight in history: On June 11, 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that people who commit “hate crimes” motivated by bigotry may be sentenced to extra punishment. On this date: In 1509, England’s King Henry VIII married his ﬁrst wife, Catherine of Aragon. In 1770, Captain James Cook, commander of the British ship Endeavour, “discovered” the Great Barrier Reef off Australia by running onto it. In 1776, the Continental Congress formed a committee to draft a Declaration of Independence calling for freedom from Britain. In 1864, German composer Richard Strauss was born in Munich. In 1936, Kansas Gov. Alfred “Alf” Landon was nominated for president at the Republican national convention in Cleveland. In 1947, the government announced the end of sugar rationing for households and “institutional users” (e.g., restaurants and hotels) as of midnight. In 1955, in motor racing’s worst disaster, more than 80 people were killed during the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France when two of the cars collided and crashed into spectators. In 1962, three prisoners at Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay staged an escape, leaving the island on a makeshift raft; they were never found or heard from again. In 1985, Karen Ann Quinlan, the comatose patient whose case prompted a historic right-todie court decision, died in Morris Plains, New Jersey, at age 31. In 1986, the John Hughes comedy “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” starring Matthew Broderick, was released by Paramount Pictures. In 2001, Timothy McVeigh, 33, was executed by injection at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 people. In 2009, with swine ﬂu reported in more than 70 nations, the World Health Organization declared the ﬁrst global ﬂu pandemic in 41 years. Ten years ago: Rejecting calls by Democratic leaders for him to resign in a sexting scandal, Rep. Anthony Weiner instead announced he was seeking professional treatment and asking for a leave of absence from Congress. (Weiner ended up resigning.) Five years ago: Queen Elizabeth II and her family marked her ofﬁcial 90th birthday with a parade, a colorful military ceremony and an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony. One year ago: Louisville, Kentucky, banned the use of “noknock” warrants and named the new ordinance for Breonna Taylor, who’d been fatally shot by ofﬁcers who burst into her home. San Francisco’s mayor said city police ofﬁcers would stop responding to non-criminal activities such as disputes between neighbors and reports about homeless people; they would be replaced on those calls by trained, unarmed professionals. Army Gen. Mark Milley, the nation’s top military ofﬁcer, said he’d been wrong to walk in uniform with President Donald Trump past protesters who’d been cleared from Lafayette Park to a photo op outside a church. Two Florida amusement parks, SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, reopened, but with reservations required to limit crowds amid the continuing coronavirus pandemic.

Barry Call, commander of the Gallia/ Meigs Post, said. “State troopers make on average 25,000 OVI arrests each year in an attempt to combat these dangerous drivers.

The GOP Senate education plan “really fails to address a historic opportunity that we have now to try to deal with, in a fair and equitable and adequate way, the funding over education,” said Sen. Vernon Sykes of Akron, the top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee. Advocates for the Fair School Funding Plan say it does not make sense to ignore the work of both Democrats and Republicans and a broad swath of educators who developed it. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Ohio schoolchildren,” former Democratic state representative John Patterson of Ashtabula, a retired teacher who helped develop the plan, said Tuesday. He said the plan allows for “predictability for school districts so they can provide the programming to the best of our abilities that allows for the utmost opportunities for all of our children.” when fully phased in over six years.

(AP) — As West Virginia prepares for the closure of another coal mine, state lawmakers announced the formation of a group to ﬁnd ideas aimed at revitalizing coal communities around the state. Republican State House Speaker Roger Hanshaw and Democratic House Minority Leader Doug Skaff announced Tuesday the creation the work group to help struggling communities that have suffered coal plant and mine closures, the Charleston Gazette-Mail reported. The announcement came the same day Monongalia County Resources Inc. gave notice that it would close a Monongalia County coal mine later this year and permanently lay off 180 workers at its mine. Monongalia County Resources is a subsidiary of St. Clairsville, Ohio-based mining company American Consolidated Natural Resources. Republican Delegate Mark Dean of Mingo will lead the work group and said it plans to visit Logan, Welch, Moundsville, Montgomery, Morgantown and Beckley to discuss ideas for revitalization. Democratic Rep. Evan Hansen of Monongalia County, who is part of the work group, said in a statement that ofﬁcials want to hear from coal communities “so that the people most affected by the decline in coal production can have a voice in what’s needed to diversify our economies and create jobs.” MONDAY 88° 61° Shown is today’s weather.

But for some, the chance of winning $1 million isn’t enough to overcome skepticism about the vaccine. Joanna Lawrence of Bethel in southwestern Ohio says the COVID-19 survivability rate is so high, and the experiences of people she knows who took the vaccine are so bad, that she sees no need to risk a shot for herself. She also made it through her own bout of the coronavirus in August. “My life is not worth money,” said Lawrence, 51, who farms and works in commercial real estate. “I can always get more money if I need to. I cannot get another life.” About 5.4 million people in Ohio have received at least one shot of the Pﬁzer or Moderna vaccines or the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, or about 46% of the population.

IVES, England — President Joe Biden urged global leaders Thursday to join him in sharing coronavirus vaccines with struggling nations around the world after he promised the U.S. would donate 500 million doses to help speed the pandemic’s end and bolster the strategic position of the world’s wealthiest democracies. Speaking in England before a summit of the Group of Seven world leaders, Biden announced the U.S. commitment to vaccine sharing, which comes on top of 80 million doses he has already pledged by the end of the month. He argued it was in both America’s interests and the world’s to make vaccination widely and speedily available everywhere. “We’re going to help lead the world out of this pandemic working alongside our global partners,” Biden said. He added that on Friday the G-7 nations would join the U.S. in outlining their vaccine donation commitments. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wrote in The Times of London newspaper that it was now time for wealthy countries to “shoulder their responsibilities” and “vaccinate the world.” ing authoritarian states, can deliver the most good for the world. White House ofﬁcials said the 500 million vaccines will be shipped starting in August, with the goal of distributing 200 million by the end of the year. The remaining 300 million doses would be shipped in the ﬁrst half of 2022. After leading the world in new cases and deaths over much of the last year, the rapid vaccination program in the U.S. now positions it among the leaders of the global recovery.

The company said a Food and Drug Administration review concluded the shots remain safe and effective for at least 4 1/2 months. In February, the FDA originally authorized J&J’s vaccine for up to three months when stored at normal refrigeration levels. Thursday’s announcement comes after state ofﬁcials warned that many doses in storage would expire before the end of the month. Vaccine expiration dates are based on information from drugmakers on how long the shots stay at the right strength. J&J said the FDA added six weeks based on data from ongoing studies adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Wednesday that G-7 leaders are “converging” around the idea that vaccine supply can be increased in several ways, including by countries sharing more of their own doses, helping to increase global manufacturing capacity and doing more across the “chain of custody” from when the vaccine is produced to when it is injected into someone in the developing world. Biden harked back to the Detroit-area workers who 80 years ago built tanks and planes “that helped defeat the threat of global fascism in World War II.” “They built what became known as the arsenal of democracy,” Biden said. “Now a new generation of American men and women, working with today’s latest technology, is going to build a new arsenal to defeat the current enemy of world peace, health and stability: COVID-19.” He noted that Pﬁzer’s plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is not far from Detroit. Last week, the White House unveiled plans to donate an initial allotment of 25 million doses of surplus vaccine overseas, mostly through the United Nations-backed COVAX program, promising infusions for South and Central America, Asia, Africa and others. Associated Press David Zalubowski | AP file On Thursday, Johnson & Johnson said that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration extended the expiration date on millions of doses of its COVID-19 vaccine by an extra six weeks. assessing the vaccine’s stability. The FDA has been reviewing expiration dates on all three U.S. authorized vaccines as companies have continued to test batches in the months since the shots ﬁrst rolled out. The vaccines from Pﬁzer and Moderna, authorized in December, have a sixmonth shelf life. The J&J extension will help maintain vaccine supplies even as the number of Americans Call Nate at 740-645-8193 or Kevin at 740-612-0957 OH-70240075 Serving the Tri-State Area with Professional Hardscapes, Landscapes, and Retaining Walls. getting shots has slipped. The country averaged about 800,000 new injections per day last week. That’s down from a high of nearly 2 million daily shots two months ago. Government ofﬁcials and companies have turned to incentives to encourages shots, including paid time off to $1 million lottery prizes. As vaccinations have slowed it’s become clear the U.S. is unlikely to meet President Joe Biden’s goal to have 70% of adults partially vaccinated by July 4. Roughly 64% of Americans older than 18 have had at least one dose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. J&J’s vaccine was highly anticipated because of its one-and-done formulation and easy-to-ship refrigeration. The shot was expected to play a key role in vaccination campaigns in rural areas and low-income countries with limited health care infrastructure. But rival drugmakers Pﬁzer and Moderna, which started shipping shots months earlier, have already supplied more than enough doses to meet U.S. demand. More than 129 million Americans have been fully vaccinated with the companies’ two-dose shots. By comparison, just 11 million Americans have been vaccinated with the J&J shot. CARBIS BAY, England — Striking a warm tone, President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson used their ﬁrst meeting Thursday to highlight a commitment to strengthening their nations’ historic ties while setting aside, at least publicly, their political and personal differences. Beginning a week of diplomacy across the Atlantic, Biden hopes to use his ﬁrst overseas trip as president to reassure European allies that the United States had shed the transactional tendencies of Donald Trump’s term and is a reliable partner again. Long a believer in alliances, Biden stressed the deep bonds with the United Kingdom as a lynchpin of his call for Western democracies to compete against rising authoritarian states. “We afﬁrmed the special relationship -- it’s not said lightly -- the special relationship between our people,” Bide said after the meeting. “We renewed our pledge to defend the enduring democratic values that both of our nations share that are the strong foundation of our partnership.” Though thorny issues like Brexit and the future of Northern Ireland shadowed the meeting, Biden and Johnson began their sit-down by immediately striking a tone of conviviality as the news media watched. “I told the prime minister we have something in common. We both married way above our station,” Biden joked Patrick Semansky | AP President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson visit during a bilateral meeting ahead of the G-7 summit, Thursday in Carbis Bay, England. after a highly choreographed walk with their spouses. Johnson laughed and said he was “not going to dissent from that one.” But then he seemed to hint that he would be looking to only improve relations with his American counterpart. “I’m not going to disagree with you on that,” said Johnson, “or indeed on anything else.” But there are areas of friction. The president staunchly opposed Brexit, Britain’s exit from the European Union that Johnson championed, and has expressed great concern over the future of Northern Ireland. Biden once called Johnson a “physical and emotional clone” of Trump. The British government has worked hard to overcome that impression, stressing Johnson’s common ground with Biden on climate change, support for international institutions and other issues. But Johnson, host for the Group of Seven summit opening Friday, has been frustrated by the lack of a new trade deal with the United States. Johnson on Thursday, however, described the new U.S. administration as “a breath of fresh air.” Speaking after his ﬁrst face-to-face meeting with Biden, Johnson said “it was a long, long huge session. We covered a good range of topics.” He added that protecting the Northern Ireland peace agreement was “absolutely common ground” among Britain, the U.S. and the EU. Before their formal discussions, the two men looked back on illustrious wartime predecessors, inspecting documents related to the Atlantic Charter. The declaration signed by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt in August 1941 set out common goals for the post-World War II world, including freer trade, disarmament and the right to self-determination of all people. Reafﬁrming their nations’ longstanding ties, the two men authorized an updated version of the charter, one that looks to the challenge posed by countries like China and Russia with its promises to promote free trade, human rights and a rules-based international order, and to counter “those who seek to undermine our alliances and institutions.” �CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN LEGALS (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Autos For Sale 2020 financial statements for Gallia Metropolitan Housing Authority are available to view now until July 6, 2021, Hours to view are from 8 AM to 4:30PM, Monday thru Friday.

The men’s and women’s national teams will hold training camps in Las Vegas in July, they announced Thursday, and they’ll be playing seven exhibitions there against other Olympics-bound national teams as well. USA Basketball will open its men’s training camp, led by coach Gregg Popovich, in Las Vegas on July 6. The Olympic men’s teams from Australia, Nigeria, Argentina and reigning Basketball World Cup champion Spain will also be spending some time in Las Vegas; Argentina will start its training camp there this month. The U.S. women’s training camp under coach Dawn Staley will likely open around July 12; the WNBA break for the Olympics starts after the games of July 11. The Olympic women’s teams joining the U.S. in Las Vegas are Australia and Nigeria. It’ll all take place at the MGM Resorts, which was announced as USA Basketball’s training camp home and resorts partner with the sides having now agreed to a multi-year sponsorship deal. “USA Basketball is proud to expand its partnership with MGM Resorts,” USA Basketball CEO Jim Tooley said. “We’re excited to bring our national teams to their properties as we prepare for the challenging competition that lies ahead this summer.” The U.S. men are seeking a fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal, the U.S. women their seventh in a row. Both will enter the Olympics ranked No. 1 by FIBA, the sport’s international governing body — though it remains unknown who the Americans will have on their rosters for the rescheduled Tokyo Games. Those rosters could be set by the end of June. Some top NBA players such as Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers and Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers have expressed some interest in being part of the Olympic team; others, such as LeBron James and Anthony Davis — Los Angeles Lakers teammates who were dealing with injuries when their season ended last week — are not planning to join the team. All teams in Las Vegas will be taking part in what USA Basketball described as “comprehensive health and safety protocols … including mandatory and regular COVID-19 PCR testing, administered to athletes, coaches, ofﬁcials and staff in accordance with FIBA and USA Basketball recommendations and CDC guidelines.” Those concerns are why the international teams opted to spend time in Las Vegas. Argentina’s men’s team is conducting the entirety of its threeweek camp there before ﬂying to Tokyo, simply because it believes a controlled environment and less traveling between different countries will minimize virus-related risks before the Olympics. “We were lucky and, at the same time, we deserved it to get an organization like USA Basketball to extend this invitation to us,” Argentina coach Sergio Hernandez said. “In such a complicated context it doesn’t get better than this.” The games are set up as part of ﬁve doubleheaders, and fans will be able to attend the matchups at MGM’s Michelob Ultra Arena. Tickets go on sale next week.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Mason County is two schools and two events into the 2021 Class A track and ﬁeld meet … and it’s still looking for its ﬁrst points after Wednesday’s opening round of action at Laidley Field. Neither Hannan freshman Miranda Smith nor Wahama senior Joshua Frye ended up in the top-6 of their respective 400m dash ﬁnals, leaving both programs scoreless through two events of the girls and boys meets. Frye was third in his heat with a time of 54.50 seconds, but ended up 10th out of 16 competitors in the ﬁnal standings. Nine boys teams have scored points already after two events, which also includes the completion of the 3200m event on Wednesday night. Magnolia currently lead the Class A boys ﬁeld with 20 points, while Doddridge County (14) sits in the runner-up spot with 14 points. Smith was seventh in her heat with a time of 1:16.10 and ﬁnished 15th overall in the girls 400m ﬁnal.

With ﬁrst baseman Evan White out with a hip injury, the Mariners are hoping Bauers can produce. He’ll ﬁll in at ﬁrst while White, who will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma, works his way back and then likely be used in the outﬁeld. Mariners manager Scott Servais thinks a change of scenery may help Bauers, who is an excellent ﬁelder but has struggled at the plate. “It takes some players longer to ﬁgure it out the big league level, and sometimes it’s a coach, it’s just being in a different uniform that can somehow ﬂip the switch and allows that player to take off and relax,” Servais said before Thursday’s game. “It happens to multiple players, every year in our game and happened to me in my career. “You get an opportunity to play a little bit, people look at you a little bit differently, they see it through a different lens and maybe they can unlock something. Hopefully that’s what we can do with Jake.” The 25-year-old Bauers was acquired by Cleveland from Tampa Bay in a three-team deal in 2018. He did not play for the Indians in 2020, spending the abbreviated season at the club’s alternate training site. In 160 games over two seasons, Bauers batted .218 with 14 homers and 49 RBIs for the Indians.

Brownson, one of just a handful of female coaches in the NFL, pleaded no contest Tuesday in a Brunswick court to charges stemming from her arrest last month. She had her license suspended for one year and will have to take an intervention course. On Wednesday, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, who hired Brownson last year and has praised her work, said she has been disciplined by the team. He did not reveal the length of her suspension but said she’s going to remain employed by the Browns. “Extremely disappointed,” Stefanski said following a voluntary practice. “We take these things very seriously.

He had given up just two hits, one of them a Joey Votto homer in the second inning, but Brewers manager Craig Counsell decided not to get the right-hander up and warm warm again after the rain. Four relievers kept Cincinnati in check, and Milwaukee cruised to a 7-2 win to take two of three from the Reds in the series. Brent Suter (7-3) allowed one run over two innings, and Brad Boxberger, Hoby Milner and Trevor Richards each threw a scoreless frame, with Richards striking out the Reds in order in the ninth. “As soon as we got the delay and we knew it going to be more than 30 minutes, they told me I was done for the day,” Peralta said.

Peterson’s 3 RBIs, Vogelbach homer helps Brewers top Reds By Mitch Stacy CLEVELAND (AP) — Jake Bauers ran out of chances with the Indians. The Mariners are giving him another one. Less than a week after Cleveland designated the ﬁrst baseman/outﬁelder for assignment, Bauers was traded Thursday to Seattle for a player to be named or cash. Bauers, who never produced offensively the way the Indians needed, immediately went into the Mariners’ starting lineup for a day game in Detroit. He’ll be back in Cleveland on Friday when Seattle opens a threegame series. Bauers was given the Indians’ starting job to open the season despite being outplayed by Bobby Bradley in training camp because he was out of minor league options.

Callie’s obviously very remorseful and she’s going to learn from this and we’ll support her along the way.” Brownson was stopped on May 27 for driving 55 mph in a 35 mph zone at 12:27 a.m. According to the police report, an ofﬁcer detected the smell of alcohol and said she had slurred speech. Brownson provided a breath sample that showed a blood-alcohol level of .215 — more than twice Ohio’s .08 legal limit. She told ofﬁcers she had “two or three glasses of wine.” The Browns consulted with the league in determining appropriate discipline for Brownson. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said she will not face any further discipline from the league. Stefanski lauded Brownson’s contributions last season as she handled a signiﬁcant amount of planning during the COVID-19 pandemic. “She’s extremely remorseful, I’ve spoken to her many times and she’ll learn from this and hopefully we’ll all be in a better place after this,” Stefanski said. “I’m disappointed. She’s disappointed and, again, we’ll work through all the particulars.” Brownson’s primary duty with the Browns is working alongside Stefanski, who began his professional career in a similar role with the Minnesota Vikings.

When the Browns visited the Jacksonville Jaguars on Nov. 29, Brownson ﬁlled in for tight ends coach Drew Petzing, who did not travel with the team after his wife gave birth to their ﬁrst child.

They communicate God’s Word. They preach. And because of this, we must take them seriously. Not only do adults learn about God through the songs we sing, but kids also articulate their theology through catchy lyrics and melodies. I remember singing the well-known hymn “Holy, Holy, Holy” as a child. And to this day, no other message or song has so clearly formed my underCross standing of the Trinity. Words The hymn reads, “Holy, holy, holy! Isaiah Merciful and mighty! God in three Pauley Persons, blessed Trinity.” Reginald Heber wrote this hymn with Revelation 4:8-11 in mind. And it reads, “And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, ‘Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!’ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ‘Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created’” (ESV). This Sunday, I am going to lead my church in singing this hymn. And I wonder how many kids will one day look back and say, “I believe in the Trinity—just like that song says. He is God in three persons.” Of course, there are other songs—and newer songs—which effectively communicate the Trinity. I’m simply using “Holy, Holy, Holy” as an example. If you choose songs for your church to sing, you have an inﬂuential role in how your congregation develops an understanding of God’s Word. By God’s grace, I’ve had the opportunity to both preach and lead worship on several occasions. And I’m convinced that—in the long run—whoever selects the songs has just as much of a sway on the congregation’s understanding of God’s Word as the preacher himself. My aim in this article is to encourage those of you who choose songs for your congregation. This is not something to be taken lightly. While I’m far from perfect myself, I have learned a couple of things about stewarding this call responsibly. Allow me to share them with you. First, help your congregation make a connection between the songs they sing and the Bible they hold. People need to understand why the lyrics say what they say. A worship song should always be based on the truth of God’s Word. If a song fails to adequately communicate what God’s Word says, then it should not be on the “setlist.” A good way to help your church make the connection between God’s Word and a song is to read some of the Scripture references found in the songs you sing. For example, it might be helpful to read Revelation 4:8-11 when singing “Holy, Holy, Holy” as a congregation. I intentionally open our worship services with God’s Word. Why? Because the Bible guides everything we do on a Sunday morning. It’s our standard for knowing what lyrics to sing. It’s our standard for knowing what sermons to preach. It’s our standard for knowing what prayers to pray. And everything in between. Unfortunately, it’s common for churches to only read Scripture aloud during the sermon. But if we’re going to help people make a connection between the songs they sing and the Bible they hold, our services must include more reading of God’s Word. Second, put the gospel in the mouths of your people on a weekly basis. As a song leader, you’re literally putting words in the mouths of your congregants. Think about it for a second. The songs you choose determine what page people turn to in a hymnal or see on a screen. The songs you choose determine what people sing. With that in mind, regularly put the gospel in the mouths of your people. Allow me to explain what I mean. In a nutshell, the gospel message is this: God is holy and perfect. He created us to know Him and serve Him. But our sin keeps us from living for His glory. Even still, God promised a Messiah who the prophets foretold. And God kept His promise. Jesus Christ came to earth, died in our place, and rose again. He is alive today, and He is coming again. All who repent from their sin and trust in Christ as Lord and Savior are empowered by the Spirit to know and serve God forever. To put the gospel in the mouths of our people means to intentionally choose songs that communicate those truths. Why? Because it is through the gospel that we ﬁnd hope. It is through the gospel that we become more like Christ. I intentionally include songs on a weekly basis that highlight God’s glory, our sin, and the beauty of God’s grace through Christ. Why? Because that’s the gospel. That’s our hope. May our churches sing songs that are faithful to Scripture and adequately express the good news of Jesus Christ. And if you’re responsible for leading your church in this way, I pray this article encourages you to do it with even more joy and intentionality.

If you do that, the rest of your goals will fall into place because God desires a good life for you. Just like in soccer, always try to complete the goal - for yourself by doing what is right and being a blessing to others. Then you will always be a winner in the game of life. Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for giving us games to play with others and having fun while doing it. We also thank You for telling us how important it is to live a life pleasing to You, so we can be happy and achieve any goal we set for ourselves. Let us remember the goal You want for us is to be a blessing to You and others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Even the Fear not; you are of more value free sparrow, tossed into the sale for than many sparrows. (Luke 12:6-7; free, is known to God. ESV).” If this is true of sparrows, which The two very similar quotations, in the grand scheme of things have delivered in similar lessons, yet at such little value, why would it not different times during the ministry of Jesus, would lead us to conclude be true of those who were created by God in His own image, and for whom God, in love, sacriﬁced His own Son so that they might be saved. Sparrows will never know the manifold blessings of Christ; but we can. As Jesus said, in the eyes of God we are worth far more to God than many sparrows. Jesus point is that we should never think of God as distant and uncaring. No matter what we are experiencing in life, God is aware of it. When we have moments of suffering, sorrow, persecution, hardships, separation, or even death, God is not somewhere else. He is right there with us. This is not to say that Jesus was promising an end to suffering for His disciples. To the contrary, when Jesus was speaking about the eyes of God being aware of the sparrows, He was doing so in the context of persecution, encouraging His followers not to fear such persecution, not because it was going to be removed, but because God would be there with them in the midst of the persecution, mindful of what they were suffering and full of compassion for what they were going through. That which was true then, is still true today: we are worth more to God than many sparrows, and no matter what we are experiencing, God is there with us, watching over us and loving us. He is not distant, nor is He uncaring. He who did not spare His own Son, has demonstrated His affection and grace for His creation. God knows each sparrow, but it is we for whom He truly cares.

Scripture, oh, most certainly, helps when we experience days of adversity. Second, it is critical to avoid the pitfall of spiritual weakness. One matter to avoid is “fainting” — “If you faint in the day of adversity,” he says. Fainting has to do with carelessness of the soul when one carelessly yields to the pressure of outward circumstances rather than determining to be “strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” The other pitfall has to do with “smallness”—-“Your strength is small, he points out, if you faint in the day of adversity. However, remember this: one’s spiritual strength gets small when fellowship with God has been small, when worship experience with God has been small, and commitment to God is small. Do not be small in these categories so that your spiritual strength will not be small. This leads us to the third consideration, for if you will be spiritually strong you must incorporate—-or merge—-into your life the life of Jesus Christ, His example and excellence. You must be steadying and stabilizing your life with the Word of God, its instructions and insights. You must begin to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit, His indwelling and enabling. How you practice before the game affects how you play the game. You and I can hold up very well when under pressure.
