FRIDAY, MAY 6, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com Police officer layoffs designed to protect Middleportʼs general fund funds.” Gerlach said the village had originally hoped the construction of a new jail as part of its $900,000 village hall project would generate revenue enough to not only maintain police services, but increase law enforcement protection in the village through hiring of additional officers. That was before word came of cuts that might eliminate departments in some vil- lages and towns throughout the state. Village officials hope the conversion of the Middleport Elementary building and location of a new 12-bed jail there will provide a rare opportunity for a village to increase general fund revenue, which usually comes from fines, income tax proceeds, and the state’s Local Government Fund, Meigs County celebrates National Day of Prayer Commissioners to consider public defender cuts BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT — Two full-time police officer positions have been eliminated in an effort to reduce a proposed general fund deficit in Middleport’s budget. Mayor Michael Gerlach said the village’s finance committee has conducted several meetings to address how the village will absorb proposed cuts in state funding, primarily through the Local Government Fund, which is expected to see 25-percent funding cuts in the next two years. Although no state budget has been approved, local governments, including the county and villages, are planning for those cuts. Gerlach said one officer’s position will be eliminated within the next pay period, and another officer’s time has been reduced, while he works in a part-time capacity as a public works employee. “Preserving the police protection has become the top priority,” Gerlach said. “The finance committee has cut all unnecessary items from the general fund and has contracted with a collection agency to increase revenues by collecting past due court fines, but these measures will not make up for the cuts in state BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — As if an answered prayer, the rain stopped and the sun appeared on Thursday morning for Meigs County’s 20th Annual National Day of Prayer observance.

Running for the ʻSonʼ: Christian motorcyclists to gather BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Meigs County is known for its diverse biker culture and this Saturday, May 7 is the Annual Christian Motorcycle Association’s “Run for the Son” event. Bikes leave the Pomeroy parking lot at noon for the ride which is planned for at least 100 miles. The route will begin by leaving Pomeroy and heading for Hocking Hills in Logan, then returning to Pomeroy, weather permitting. Anyone can participate on the ride and donations are appreciated - donations which will all go towards the CMA’s national charities. “Run for the Son” which is CMA’s fundraising event for these charities helps extend the organization’s outreach to millions of people through the world. By giving to fellow ministries, CMA says it has been able to place the message of hope in front of the multitudes in hundreds of other countries. CMA uses 40 percent of the money raised by its chapters on May 7 for home missions, 20 percent for The Jesus Film Project, 20 percent for open doors ministry and 20 percent for missionary ventures. The local Meigs County CMA chapter, “Delivered,” has around 50 members and was founded six years ago. Members are from not only Meigs but surrounding counties like Mason County, W.Va. and Gallia and Athens counties. The local chapter took up the CMA’s national motto of “Changing the world, one heart at a time” in 2005 and are now gearing up for its sixth annual “Run for the Son” event the “Son” being Jesus Christ and the good news. Over the past 23 years, CMA has raised $37 million to bring that good news and last year’s national run raised over $3.6 million. The local CMA chapter follows the national orga- nization’s vision: • Evangelistic outreach primarily, but not exclusively, to the motorcycling community. • Run for the Son, where CMA partners with ministries with world-reaching potential. • Equipping members in ministry training that aligns itself with Biblical truths. • A servant’s attitude to the world and to members (i.e. Here if you need us). • Quality products that aid in evangelistic outreach. • An effective WorkCenter support team.

Walk for Life: Pregnancy Resource Center benefit BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — This year for the first time Meigs County will participate in the “Walk for Life,” a program geared to raise money for the work of the Pregnancy Resource Center in Athens. Three fundraising walks will be held – one in Athens, another in Nelsonville, and the one See Layoffs, A6 on Saturday May 14 in Pomeroy. The money raised in the two-mile walk here will be used to support a special project, purchase of ultrasound equipment, and other work of the Center. Al Hartson, pastor of the Middleport Church of Christ, said the Pomeroy First Baptist Church on East Main Street will be headquarters for the “Walk for Life.” Registration there will begin at 8:30 a.m. with the walk on the path along the river to start at 9 a.m. It will begin on the path just across the road from the church near the area where the drinking fountain is located. From there the walkers will travel up river for a mile and then back down a mile to the starting point, rain or shine. Those planning to participate in the Walk for Life can contact Hartson at 992-2394 or 992-6168 for additional information and/or instructions. Those participating in the walk are asked to get pledges from their supporters in advance of the walk. All of the money raised will go directly to the work of the Pregnancy Resource Center. Rachael Esselburn is director and expected to be in Pomeroy for the walk. POMEROY — Meigs County Commissioners have a few weeks to determine how they will pay for appointed counsel for indigent defendants in Common Pleas Court next year, after meeting with public defenders Thursday. Herman Carson and Glenn Jones of the Ohio Public Defender’s Athens office met with commissioners, Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams and Judge Steven L. Story to present a proposed contract for the 2012 fiscal year. The current contract between the state public defender and county commissioners, which includes representation of indigents in juvenile, Common Pleas and County Courts, will expire at the end of June. This year’s proposal eliminates any public defender representation under contract in Common Pleas Court for next year. Under the proposal, Pomeroy Attorney Charles Knight would represent clients in Juvenile and County courts at a rate of $35,000, with no cap on caseload. However, the county must consider how to represent felony defendants in the higher court. Last year, David Baer and Richard Hedges handled 130 and 35 felony assignments, respectively. Neither is willing to continue their work, and the Athens office has been unsuccessful in finding replacements for them, Carson told commissioners. Commissioner Michael Bartrum said the board will check options for providing representation to those defendants, including discussions with other counties. In Gallia County, a nonprofit organization contracts with the county to provide those services. Other counties pay attorneys by the case, once a request is approved by the presiding judge. Next year’s contract includes a $6,983 credit to the county for expenses not incurred under this year’s contract. It also provides for representation through the Athens office when a conflict exists. The total cost to the county is $22,838, if commissioners ultimately approve the contract. Story said the contract system has been in place throughout his 10 years on the County Court See Commissioners, A6 �www.mydailysentinel.com Five members of Meigs High School Band honored Submitted photo Meet you at the gate BY TERESA HILL ALLEY A beautiful garden now stands alone, Missing the one who nurtured it But now she is gone, Her flowers still bloom, and the sun still shines, But the rain is like tear drops, for the ones left behind, The weeds lay waiting to take the garden’s beauty away, But the beautiful memories of its keeper are in our hearts to stay, She loved every flower even some that were weeds, So much love she would plant with each little seed, But just like her flowers she was part of God’s plan, So when it was her time he reached down his hand, He looked through the garden searching for the best, That’s when he found Reta, it was her time to rest, It was hard for those who loved her, to just let her go, But God had a spot in his garden, that needed a gentle soul, So when you start missing Reta, remember if you just wait, When God has a spot in his garden, she’ll meet you at the gate.

We’re still going to be in the same state, and we really love each other, so we have no intention of breaking up. The thing is, he’s looking at a school that has coed dorms. It’s not that I don’t completely trust him, but I’m really worried about him being tempted. Is it immature to think like this? — C.H. Dear C.H.: Coed dorms have been the bane of parents’ existence for many yeas now, and formerly separate facilities continue to become sexually integrated on campuses every year. There almost always are choices, however — it would not be likely that your boyfriend would be forced to room with a girl. It could be that he would be placed in a dorm where different individual floors are mixed, and he could stay on one with all guys. But chances are if he were to indicate that he’d be more comfortable rooming in a building of all men, that would be where he’d be placed. After the first year, he’s more likely to find his own housing, and many upperclassmen move off campus and make their own arrangements — which may include coed houses or apartments. At this point, you don’t really have a way to know how you both will feel about staying together after you get to separate colleges. You might not last as a couple even if you went to the same school — that’s just the way life goes. Rather than worrying about coed dorms, you need to focus on having a clear understanding of your expectations for each other when it comes to dating. Rather than make up a bunch of rules, it might be a good idea to be flexible. Let the first semester go by, and see if you still feel the same way about each other. If you do, there will be no need for endless worries about coed dorms; and if you don’t, it won’t make a difference where you are living. It might seem scary now, but college will be a great test for both of you. Enjoy. Dear Dr. Brothers: My ex-wife is a very beautiful woman who, in order to save her sanity, divorced Dr. Joyce Brothers me three years ago. I don’t blame her in the least. I was the stereotype of a horrible husband — I drank way too much, had a wicked gambling problem and would disappear sometimes for days. I’ve cleaned myself up and have totally restricted my life in a very healthy way — and now I want her to be a part of it. Is there any way to go about this without causing her any more pain? — S.C. Dear S.C.: First of all, congratulations on turning your life around. I suppose you had to hit the proverbial bottom in order to start climbing back up to the top, and I wish you a smooth journey. As far as reconnecting with your wife, you first need to spend a little time deciding if this is something you really want to do. Examine your motivations. Is it really about her, or is it about going back and fixing yet another thing you messed up? Do you think there is any way to regain a certain amount of happiness without the pain overwhelming the two of you? Has your ex-wife moved on and forgotten about you, or is she too bitter to even think about the idea of reconciling? These are questions you should consider before you approach her.

ATTEND CHURCH �The Daily Sentinel FAITH • VALUES A Hunger for More The fact that times of upheaval have been visited on the earth frequently during the long story of the earth is small consolation to those destined to live in the midst of such upheavals. Nevertheless, such seasons as these come. Furthermore, they serve as the proving grounds for what we call faith. When there is none, we quake and shake with fear and angst and tend to sink to the lowest moral common denominator. Terrorist attacks and wars, tornadoes and tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, famine and disease, reflect the fragility of the world around us. It is in no way unreasonable for you to wonder about how to respond to the dynamic of fluidity in the world. Our circumstances are frail, our plans and goals are brittle, and our hopes and dreams are like mists that disappear into nothingness when the winds of calamity blast their way through life. On the other hand, when the proving ground of upheaval finds the salt of genuine faith being worked into the mix, not only are lives transformed by the presence of God within His people, but the whole of society is transformed as well! “What gives him such strength anyway?” might be asked of one believer in a difficult situation. “Why didn’t she just take the money and run? No one was watch- Thom Mollohan ing,” might be the observation of another. Of course, the answer is quite simple… so simple that our world likes to turns its sophisticated nose up at it. The believer has an “out-ofworldly” strength to draw from and has an everlasting hope to stand upon. “… For I know Whom I have believed, and am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day.”(2 Timothy 1:12b NIV). Troubles and trials, anger and anxieties, frustrations and fears are the garden spots in which we must reap the harvest of what we’ve really sown in faith. “Do I REALLY believe God’s promises from His Word for my life?” “Am I REALLY convinced that He is able to guard the investment of my life in Him no matter what happens in the world?” Maybe what we find we have isn’t a garden spot so much as a weed patch. For instance, when facing pain and difficulty, do we allow those circumstances to become justification for our doing wrong? Whether we are looking to the Middle Eastern countries where people struggle to depose their governments or consider things a little closer to home like the looting after Katrina or even the LA riots back in 1992, demonstrations against injustice and oppression are not wrong. What IS wrong, however, is the reckless (and sometimes intentional) hurting and murdering of innocent people and the exploitation of the situations to steal from others. People often use their anger over being victimized to victimize others. These may seem to be extreme examples, but in a subtle way, we do the same sorts of things if and when we rationalize doing wrong based on our own circumstances. Of course, most people most of the time don’t really intend harm in their choices, even when choosing selfishly. It’s just that when they fail to remember God’s expectations for how they live or forget that His promises are meant for their own good as well as His glory, they do the harm that flows from being unplugged from abiding in a vital relationship with Christ. They inevitably fall and fail when calamity comes or tragedy strikes. It doesn’t have to be this way though. God has made a way for us to start over when nature barrels down upon us with unimaginable destruction. He has made a way for our spirits to remain strong though illness may seep into our very bones with fiery fingers of pain. He has made a way for His people to muster up courage in the face of oppression and injustice and stand for what is right. He has even made a way for His people to embrace the hope that they have in Christ Jesus when their beloved Christian leaders and heroes are called home to heaven. Whatever the need, He has made a way. And whatever we do, let us not neglect the only sure hope that we have… that of Christ Jesus! “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary” (Galatians 6:7-9 NAS).

Some wisdom for thought When you refuse to love people because they're hard to love, you forget the fact that God always loves you, even though you're not always easy to love. God's love for you is unconditional and everlasting. God loves you exactly as you are, and He loves you no matter what you do. God doesn't love you because you are a "good" person; instead, God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). God is abounding in love Page A4 and faithfulness (Exodus 34:6). In 1 John 4:9-11, we are told that, because of God's love for us, we ought to love one another: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. "One another" even includes those that are hard to love. Remember, God loves you even though you're not always easy to love. Therefore, you, also, ought to love others, especially those that aren't easy to love. Do you live with an attitude of gratitude? Many people, even many Christians, find it very difficult to be thankful. Yet, the Bible repeatedly tells us to be thankful in everything. We should live overflowing with thankfulness (Colossians 2:7). Rather than finding ATTEND THE CHURCH something to complain about, we should find something to be thankful for. There is always something in life for which to thank God; indeed, we should always [be] giving thanks to God the Father for everything (Ephesians 5:20). Furthermore, Psalm 100:4 tells us: Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Notice that just entering his gates demands that we be thankful. Friday, May 6, 2011 Silence equals Consent BY CARRIE WOLFE A follower of Christ seeks to be like Christ, so what was Christ like? Jesus taught. He spoke with and ministered to aspects of society that no one wanted to be associated with. He gave of His time and even Himself for others. He loved. He lived a life of love. He also rebuked those in authority that had taken advantage of their position. He called them “vipers” among other things. He said it like it was and didn’t sugar coat anything. He did not “go with the flown,” but rather spoke the truth in all things. He was and is the living truth. You may be thinking that is too much for anyone to live up, but it isn’t. We are to strive for that, working on being like Jesus the Christ as much as we can. Everyday we begin anew, working toward allowing Him to mold our hearts to be more like His. He is the Potter and we are the clay. In that vein, we are not to be silent at corruption. We are to speak up. We are to call out those “vipers” particularly those who prey on the young, the aged, the sick, the weak, the widowed, and those without a voice. It is our duty! We can not sit by and allow corruption to take hold of ourselves, our families, our churches, our communities, our state, and our country. It is a duty of the faithful NOT to be silent. My prayer is every stitch, every hint of corruption in our county be exposed, brought to the Light! If that offends, I don’t apologize. My God is bigger than ANY giant. In my book, corruption also includes laziness and indifference. I am proud to be from this county. I am proud to be a citizen of the greatest country on earth, but most of all I am proud to be a part of something greater than all of that. I am proud to be a part of the Body of Christ, and in my God alone I boast. I am nothing, but a simple little preacher who serves the King of kings! Who do you serve? One of the phrasing that rings in my ears is: Silence Equals Consent. If we are silent, we are giving consent and even permission to the corruption in our society. Hmmm, how well is that going to play with the Big Guy on judgment day? Who do you serve? Figure that out, and you will indeed live a life of Grace Out Loud! (Carrie Wolfe is the senior pastor of Beacon Ministries in Syracuse, Ohio.) The way you become free from sin is by becoming a slave to righteousness Paul, in one of the most quoted verses of Scripture, makes clear that every person has sinned: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Indeed, your sins hold you so deeply in bondage that they bring death to you: you were dead in your sins (Colossians 2:13). Every one of us was born a slave to sin, but God offers to free us from that. How? We can choose to become slaves to righteousness: When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. ... But now ... you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God (Romans 6:20,22). One of the results of being a "slave" to God is being made righteous and holy: God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). In other words, when we are freed from bondage to sin by giving ourselves to Christ, a transaction occurs: we are changed from being sinners (i.e., slaves to sin who occasionally mess up and do something right) into being holy ones (i.e., righteous slaves to God who occasionally mess up and do something wrong). Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

Box 683 Pomeroy, Ohio 45769-0683 �The Daily Sentinel Page A5 FAITH • FAMILY Friday, May 6, 2011 Pursuing Godʼs truth and justice A contagious For some reason, I woke up this morning thinking of Superman. Not so much the person, as what he represented — “truth, justice, and the American Way.” Or something like that. I’m writing this article hoping and praying on the one hand for truth and justice to be served. At the same time — because of another, unrelated instance — I rejoice in the knowledge that “justice has been done.” This past Sunday night the President announced to the world that a select group of U.S. Navy SEALS had shot and killed Osama bin Laden, that “justice had been done.” Outstanding! I once knew a young lady who publicly declared her desire to lead bin Laden to the Lord. Obviously, that never happened. Instead, he consigned himself to hell. The Bible assures us bin Laden’s ultimate destiny was never God’s will, that it was entirely bin Laden’s choice. So be it. The news of his demise precipitated a spontaneous outburst of joy and patriotic jubilation unlike anything this Country has witnessed in quite some time. If you were like me, you silently, or not-sosilently, thanked God for the success of that mission — and for the safety of those men. It took almost ten years, but “justice has Thomas Johnson been done.” Man’s justice and God’s, too. Let us never forget bin Laden died a Muslim and a terrorist, completely outside the grace of God. Nothing about Jesus meant anything to this man who met the Christ Sunday night. He died fully expecting to spend eternity in the company of a multitude of “blackeyed virgins.” Imagine how cowed and shocked bin Laden was to find himself before our Savior and Lord — whose followers he and his ilk regularly and religiously persecuted as “infidels!” So, then, in this case — “justice has been done.” However, there’s another case pending: it’s personal; and my family and I pray justice to be done here, too. There’s an eightmonth-old baby boy involved: his name is Caleb; he’s my grandson, and you may remember I wrote before about his “special” presence in my life. Before I say more, I’ve got to say God surely was watching me last week as I set to work on what I would preach about this past Sunday. He probably chuckled when on Monday I chose the theme of Sunday’s sermon — forgiveness, in tandem with love — as in “you can’t have one without the other.” Then came Tuesday. That afternoon our grandson’s mother took him, and left to go back to her family in Pennsylvania. As they drove away I was overwhelmed with feelings, but love and forgiveness weren’t in that mix! It’s been a week now since they left, and my thoughts and prayers are always with Caleb. I know God wants me to pray for his mother—and to forgive her, too — but for the time being I hope God is okay with twoout-of-three, because I’m struggling with that element of forgiveness. It seems God had me write the last sermon more for my own edification than for any thing, or anyone, else. If so, it wouldn’t be the first time; honestly, He’s still working on me. I find myself praying like never before for the grace to forgive Caleb’s mother, even as it seems she’s “winging” this alltoo-real drama. Complicating the scenario is Caleb — there in the middle, between his mother and our son, his father — like some “pawn” in a game yet to be played out between the two of them, under the auspices and with the input of the legal system. I believe God has a plan for our lives, one custom made for each and every one of us as the individuals we are. Such planning of course includes Caleb, because God has a vested interest in those least able to help and defend themselves. I cannot conceive of anything more odious and hateful to God than that anyone use or misuse these innocents. Obviously it happens, but such things also can be “arranged.” I trust God is with Caleb, that God will prevail in this matter, and that Caleb and our son will be reunited. Were Caleb here with us, I’d not be so concerned: he isn’t; I am. Amen. Since his mother elected to leave, go back where she came from, and involve at least one “third party” there, my prayers have increased exponentially. My faith and my ability to forgive, both are being tested! (Trust me: whatever else is happening, this is no “growth spurt!”) Dear God — may your light shine, the truth be self-evident, your will and justice be done. (Rev. Thomas Johnson is pastor of Trinity Church in Pomeroy, Ohio.) Why is it that you quit? Our sons delight me and make me often laugh concerning past family experiences. It was funny to learn from our second son, Keithen, how he had officially retired from the annual Branch family Easter egg hunt. As I recounted in last week’s article, he recalled his many championship years and finest strategic moments over his brothers as he indicated to me it was now time for him to step away from the family’s vicious, annual competition. However, talking with son number four, Jeshua, this week, his certain perspective on Keithen’s retirement suggests an uncanny reason why Keithen has called it quits. Jeshua admits that Keithen was very adept in taking advantage of his younger brothers. But, Jeshua also pointed out that it has been since 2005 that Keithen last competed in the hunt, and had since not availed himself of a home hunt at Easter. Jeshua is adamant that it is because in 2005 he out-hunted Keithen, as well as did the younger brothers, Micaiah and Jamin. Jeshua believes Keithen felt that the competitive ability and enthusiasm of his younger brothers to overcome him had surpassed the edge he had possessed for a Ron Branch long time. That is why Keithen has quit, according to Jeshua. While this little anecdote may be humorous and of interest only to our family, the bottom line of it most certainly cuts to the core concerning a significant spiritual truth for people who once associated them selves with Christianity. It is found in the sad truth that many who have professed salvation faith in Jesus Christ have quit. They have quit the Church. They have quit identification with Christ. They have quit practicing the principles of the Word of God. Churches would be filled to the brim every Sunday for worship if people had not quit. There would be tremendous Christ-like influence in the midst of this post-modern society if people had not quit. This is bore out in Scripture. A one-time missionary team member of Apostle Paul quit. Demas, wrote Paul, quit, “having loved this present world.” Numbers of followers quit following Jesus when the Lord taught strong spiritual truths against their own expectations. Jeremiah once quit. Elijah wanted to quit. Judas quit. Down through the experiences of the Church, so many have found reasons to quit — which raises the question, “Why is it that you quit?” The truth of the matter is that people quit Christ because the spiritual competition becomes too hot and heavy for them. The devil knows where people are bump-able out of the strait-andnarrow way of the Lord. Strong inner competition from fleshly lusts prevails to cause people to quit. Doubt, fear, laziness, financial problems — these and many other reasons compete in the soul of people who, having made a start to identify with Christ, all too often find it less disconcerting to the soul just to quit Christ. It is critical that we become more spiritually competitive! It is everything right to be spiritually competitive to “walk in the Spirit.” The writer of the Book of Hebrews encourages us to “run with patience the race that is set before us.” Be adamant like Apostle Paul, who said, “So fight I!” Christian perseverance is a definite expectation, which calls on us to be faithful to Christ from beginning to end. Fight the good fight. Finish your course. Keep the faith Be extremely competitive spiritually by reading the Bible consistently, praying aggressively, trusting the Lord faithfully, worshipping intensely, and fellowshipping meaningfully with God’s faithful people. These are ways we compete spiritually to overcome the evil that competes heatedly against us. Do not look for reasons to quit, but rather look for reasons to keep on keeping on for the Lord’s honor and glory. Remember that Christ competed for the completed victory on our behalf against all evil competition all the way to the Cross. Thank God He did not quit. We would not have any Heavenly hope whatsoever if He had. It prevails upon us to reciprocate His “quit-lessness.” In the mean time, what say ye, Keithen, to thy brother? (Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.) Life is too short to spend it hating In Leviticus 19:17, God warns us against hating others: "Do not hate your brother in your heart." Interestingly, that verse shows us that hate isn't just an action; it is also an attitude of the heart. Many times we hate someone in our heart, yet pretend to like them. However, hating someone in your heart is nonetheless hate -- and thus despised by God. Although it sounds harsh, 1 John 3:15 says that anyone who hates his brother is a murderer. Indeed, as far as your heart is concerned, to hate is to murder. In other words, hating someone is no different than murdering them in your hearts. If you hate someone, you'll be thinking negatively about them, slandering them (if not verbally, at least in your heart), and cutting them down with your thoughts and words. Thus, it is no surprise that God sternly warns us not to hate others, because life is too short to spend it hating. In every situation, there are always two stories—the story you see and the story God sees. kingdom influence There was a time when Jesus was asked by a Pharisee when the Kingdom of God would come. Jesus then replied: “The Kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, “here it is,” or “there it is,” because the Kingdom of God is within you” Luke 17:20-21. Most people that have learned enough about the Kingdom of God know that the Kingdom of Heaven is not a religion and has absolutely nothing to do with religion at all. Religion knows nothing about the Kingdom of God. This is why Christianity is not a religion (though many refer to it as such), but it has everything to do with God’s systematic Kingdom. Unfortunately, for centuries many have been deceived and indoctrinated about a religious system by calling it “Christianity.” This is why in today’s society many non-believers as well as the un-churched buck at such system. On the other hand, Christianity is not a ‘do as you please, however you want’ type of movement either. God’s Kingdom is very systematic and very purposeful. In the Garden of Eden, there was no religion. Think about that! There was no “worship” as we know it today where most of our worship time is for self-gratification instead of honoring and paying “homage” to Jesus our King. Adam and Eve enjoyed full, open and transparent fellowship and interaction with God in a mutual relationship of pure love with absolutely no guilt, shame or fear. A life filled with purpose and meaning. Their disobedience broke that relationship and humanity’s efforts to restore it on their own without divine assistance gave rise to religion. Alex Colon Today, we want to combine both God’s and Man’s efforts to restore that relationship and it have turned out to be a confusing religious system. The Kingdom of Heaven is the sovereign rulership of the King (God) with His laws (the Bible) over a territory (earth), impacting it with His will, purposes and intent, producing a citizenry of people (church) who express a systematic culture that reflects the nature and lifestyle of the King. As our King, God’s original intent was to extend the influence of His heavenly country over and throughout the earth. In other words, Christianity is supposed to be heaven’s culture lived out in the earth and not man’s religious ways of “serving” God. Therefore, it is important to realize that our influence in our society ought to be making a difference in those around us. The Kingdom of Heaven is implemented in the earth by our influence as a result of the Holy Spirit (the Governor of Heaven) living and working inside and through us. It is good to remember that the influence of God’s Kingdom is irresistible, and it is contagious! Your job is to be a contagious Believer of God’s Kingdom. Make it a Great Day! (Rev. Alex Colón is pastor of Lighthouse Assembly of God in Gallipolis, Ohio.) True worship should create God-intoxicated people Everyone worships. Some people worship money, possessions, popularity, prosperity, or other people. They may not sing worship songs to their bank account, but by the way they live they worship (i.e. give value to) their money. Worship is not just singing songs in church; worship is a lifestyle that places value on its object. True worship of God means that the one worshiping is placing value on God and putting him at the center of life.

A prayer for senior citizens, given by Dan Smith of Racine, talked about the benefits of Meigs County despite those who put the county down or simply seem to forget about it — he then wondered if people in power think the county is so far south and out of mind that “they think we’re all West Virginians but I think that’s ok because they’re good people too.” There was also a prayer given for teachers and educators by Pastor Bill Justis of Pomeroy First Baptist Church. Justis said his granddaughter came to him and said her former teacher, the late Ladonna Stewart had died in an accident this week.

Historic Cora Mill collapsed on Thursday, ending the mill’s 176-year existence. It was the last of 13 mills left standing along the banks of Raccoon Creek. Owners Helen (Jones) and Cedric Lewis acquired Cora Mill in March of 1974 and had it placed on the National Register of Historic Places on Feb. 10, 1981. Mrs. Lewis said the mill collapsed at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 5, 2011, as she and her husband and a friend were enjoying lunch together in their home, which is adjacent to the mill at the intersection of Cora Mill and Maple Grove roads. “We were all having lunch right here, and it just went ‘boom, boom,’ and down it went,” said Mrs. Lewis. “It’s bittersweet, but you learn when it’s been built in 1835 and with all the flooding here, eventually it’s going to go.” Mrs. Lewis said the mill had fallen into disrepair over the years and it eventually became too expensive to attempt any renovation work. She said in recent days it had become apparent that the mill’s time was short. “One side of it had fallen off about a week ago,” said Mrs. Lewis. “So we knew it was going to go. I’m just glad it went during the daylight hours and that nobody was around.” Mrs. Lewis said that over the years, she and her husband have operated an antique shop and a flower shop out of Cora Mill. “This has just been a fun place for us,” she said.

The right-hander returned from the disabled list with six strong innings Thursday, reminding Cincinnati of what it has been missing, and Ryan Hanigan drove in three runs with a threehit game to lead the Reds to a 10-4 victory over the Houston Astros. “That was a great performance for his first time out,” manager Dusty Baker said. “He was outstanding right from the start, very sharp.” Bailey (1-0) developed a shoulder problem during spring training, forcing him to go on a throwing program. He gave up only four hits and one run while striking out seven. The Reds have played the whole season without Bailey and Johnny Cueto, who developed shoulder problems during spring. Their rotation finally will be back to full strength when Cueto comes off the disabled list and starts Sunday in Chicago. “It’s nice to be able to have them back,” Baker said. “The next step is to have them back and comfortable. With the injuries and their layoff, who knows? They should be strong in September, and maybe October will be their September with the wear and tear. It could work out great for us.” After a 5-0 start, the Reds have been stuck in place. The win Thursday gave them their first back-to-back victories since April 11-12. The last few weeks, it’s been a case of win one, lose one. The Reds started their surge into contention a year ago at about this time, winning seven of eight to pull into first place on May 16. The Reds scored six runs in 5 2-3 innings against Brett Myers (12), who failed to go six innings for only the second time in 40 career starts with the Astros. Myers also left after 5 23 innings of a 9-1 loss in Cincinnati last Sept. 30. Fred Lewis hit his first career pinch-hit homer in the sixth for a 6-1 lead, ending Myers’ outing. The six runs were a season-high off the righthander. “I made some good pitches, but they hit them,” Myers said. “I didn’t feel real comfortable out there. I felt like everything I threw, they knew what was coming. They probably didn’t, but it felt that way.” The Astros rallied in the seventh against lefthander Aroldis Chapman, who walked a batter with the bases loaded and gave up Hunter Pence’s two-run single that cut it to 6-4. Jay Bruce homered during the Reds’ four-run eighth off Nelson Figueroa, who was demoted to the bullpen last week. Bailey got a chance to return on Thursday after the opening game of the series was rained out, forcing the teams to make it up on what was supposed to be their day off. Originally, Bailey was scheduled to complete his rehab assignment at Class-A Dayton on Thursday. The schedule change allowed him to pitch for the Reds instead of the Dragons. “To be at that level of competition felt great,” Bailey said. “I felt like the ball was coming out of my hand the way it should.” Joey Votto opened the fourth with a single off Myers, keeping him the only major leaguer to reach base safely in every game this season. His 31game streak is three shy of Dave Collins’ franchise mark from 1981. The Reds went on to load the bases, and Hanigan singled for a 3-0 lead. Before the game, the Astros sent closer Brandon Lyon back to Houston for tests on his right shoulder. He went on the 15-day DL later in the day with a tear in his rotator cuff that won’t require surgery. Lyon failed to retire any of the five batters he faced during a 3-2 loss on Wednesday, his fourth blown save in eight chances. Houston played all three games without outfielder Carlos Lee, who bruised ribs on Sunday in a collision with shortstop Angel Sanchez. He worked out Thursday and could be back soon. NOTES: Pence extended his hitting streak to a season-high nine games. ... 2B Bill Hall was ejected by plate umpire Tom Hallion after he struck out in the sixth and said something while walking away. ... Astros minor league OF/1B Telvin Nash will have surgery next week on a broken hamate bone in his left hand, sidelining him for six weeks. The third-round draft pick in 2009 is playing at ClassA Lexington. ... The Reds optioned RHP reliever Jordan Smith to Triple-A Louisville to open a roster spot for Bailey. Dialed In is early Kentucky Derby favorite LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Nobody wanted to be No. 1. No. 20 wasn’t too popular, either. Dialed In managed to avoid both — the inside rail and far outside — at Wednesday’s post-position draw for the Kentucky Derby. He was made the early 4-1 favorite for Saturday’s race after drawing the favorable No. 8 post, prompting owner Robert LaPenta to let out a cheer. Uncle Mo was the second choice in a full field of 20 horses. Ten horses have won from the No. 8 position; the last, 50-1 shocker Mine That Bird two years ago. “It’s a big thing, and he deserves it,” twotime Derby winner Nick Zito said, referring to his horse’s status as the favorite. Dialed In has won 3 of 4 career races. Three times in the last seven runnings the favorite has worn the garland of roses, most recently Big Brown in 2008. “So far, so good,” Zito said. “If he has another couple of good days we’ll be happy. Things are doing all right.” Things haven’t been quite so right for Uncle Mo, who drew the No. 18 post, three slots from the outside. The colt is being treated for a gastrointestinal infection, which was blamed for his stunning first-ever defeat in last month’s Wood Memorial. Owner Mike Repole has said if Uncle Mo isn’t sufficiently recovered, he won’t run in the 1?-mile Derby. Trainer Todd Pletcher, however, said Uncle Mo might be able to win even if he’s at less than his best. “But we’re committed to bringing him over there at 100 percent, anything less than that, we won’t accept,” he said. Uncle Mo, last year’s 2-year-old champion, jogged a mile around the dirt track at Churchill Downs and later stood in the starting gate to familiarize himself with the surroundings. He is scheduled to gallop on Thursday. “I’ve always said I Mark Cornelison/Lexington Herald-Leader/MCT Dialed In with Carlos Correa, up, during preparation for the 137th Kentucky Derby, Wednesday, in Louisville, Kentucky. think he’s the best horse of his generation,” Pletcher said. “We proved that last year and identified what we thought was the reason for the poor performance in the Wood. I think if he shows up and he’s the Uncle Mo from the Breeders’ Cup or the Champagne or even the Timely Writer, he’s the horse to beat.” Uncle Mo would have to overcome a bit of history. Only one horse since 1900 has come out of the No. 18 hole to win and that was Gato Del Sol in 1982. Still, Pletcher and Repole were relieved to have avoided the rail. “We had this overlying fear we were going to get the 1,” the trainer said. “Once it was anything besides that we were happy.” Repole’s other colt, Stay Thirsty — also trained by Pletcher — landed in the No. 4 post and is 20-1 on the morning line set by Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia. Pletcher ended an 0for-24 skid in the Derby last year when Super Saver won from the No. 4 post. Nehro was the third choice at 6-1. The other 17 horses were listed at double-digit odds. The dreaded No. 1 post — the last position revealed — went to Arkansas Derby winner Archarcharch. That spot did in last year’s Derby favorite, Lookin At Lucky, who was blocked behind horses and finished sixth for trainer Bob Baffert. “I have always wanted to be No. 1, but not in the Kentucky Derby starting gate,” said Jinks Fires, the 70-year-old trainer of Archarcharch who will give specific race instructions to jockey Jon Court, his son-inlaw. “I’ll just tell Jon to get good position, save ground and figure out a way to get out. It is still the shortest way around and at least I am not out next to the track kitchen.” Like Uncle Mo’s con- nections, Baffert was happy that stalker Midnight Interlude escaped the inside post. “My wife texted me. She’s at LAX and said, ‘If we draw the No. 1, let me know so I can get off the plane,’” he said. “This is the toughest part of getting through the whole Derby. From now on it’s the luck. “I wanted to be on the outside. When you have a lightly raced horse you want to keep him in the clear as much as possible.” Archarcharch and Midnight Interlude were the co-fourth choices. The other trainer with two starters is Mike Maker, who will saddle Twinspired and Derby Kitten. A total of 22 horses were entered, two more than the maximum allowed field of 20, which is based on earnings in graded stakes races. Sway Away and Ruler On Ice were shut out because their earnings weren’t high enough to put them among the top 20. Scramble ends in a tie SENTINEL STAFF MDSSPORTS@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MASON, W.Va. — The 2011 Riverside TwoMan Scramble has resulted in a tie. The team of Mitch and Trent Roush made an eagle three on the last hole to tie the team of Mike Haynes and Aaron Bickle at 62 (eight under par). The “A” Division had 20 teams competing. A total of 35 two-man teams played in the event despite the rainy and gusty conditions. The “B” Division also had a tie for first place with scores of 66 (four under par) between the teams of Ron Jackson and Nate Stanley, and Dave Neer and Rob Blubaugh.
