POMEROY – The temperature was moving up as
the sun was beating down
Thursday morning but the
Meigs Marauder Band
members didn’t seem to
mind.
They were concentrating on instructions from
director Toney Dingess
and his assistants who
moved among the band
members making sure they
got it right.
It’s band camp week
and practice sessions have
been held from morning
‘til night all week long for
the 83 members of the
band – some with experience, others with none, but
all expected to be ready for
a half-time show at the
Meigs-Coal Grove away
game on Aug. 26.

When Director Toney Dingess speaks, everybody listens or plays if instructed.

Band members played
their instruments as they
marched in step around the
lot and executed formations as directed by

Dingess who walked about
giving encouragement,
making corrections and
changes, offering a bit of
constructive criticism, all

the while maintaining his
usual mild manner.
And the students, well
they all seemed intent on
getting it right.

RACINE — Three men
have been arrested for
allegedly stealing Ibeams
from
the
Yellowbush Mine outside
of Racine and then
reselling them to an
unsuspecting, legitimate
buyer in Gallia County.
The arrests were made
on Thursday after an
investigation led by Lt.
Scott Trussell of the
Meigs County Sheriff’s
Office, according to
Sheriff Robert Beegle.
Charged in the crime
are Eric W. Clark, 22,
Letart Falls, Travis S.
Meadows, 20, Letart

Falls, Terry B.
Myers,
18,
Leon,
W.Va.
Both Meadows
and Myers were
released on the
their own recognizance while
Clark, who was
Clark
already out on
bond on another
charge, remained in the
custody of the sheriff’s
office on Thursday,
according to Trussell.
Clark is to appear in
Meigs County Court
today. The three men are
facing charges of receiving stolen property.
Trussell
said
on
Tuesday, the sheriff’s
office received a report of

steel I-beams being
stolen from the
Yellowbush Mine.
The I-beams, valued
at around $1,000
each, are used to support the mine’s roof.
On Tuesday, eyewitnesses spotted a truck
and vehicle leaving
the mine with Ibeams. Trussell said the
witness wrote down a
license plate which eventually led him to Clark.
Trussell said he’d also
been in contact with local
scrap yards, including
L&amp;L Scrap Metal and
Recycling in Gallia
County whom he’d
worked with in the past.
He said L&amp;L staff report-

ed they’d purchased six Ibeams on Tuesday for
$312. Then, on Thursday,
Clark, Meadows and
Myers were arrested by
the Gallipolis City Police
and
Gallia
County
Sheriff’s Office at L&amp;L
with nine more I-beams
for sale. Trussell said
L&amp;L had video of Clark
allegedly selling and
accepting money for the
material as well as a
signed receipt. Trussell
said it’s believed the
breaking and entering
occurred on two, different
nights at the mine which
has been the target of
other thefts not related to
this case, including the
theft of copper wire.

Two men plead guilty to theft and drug possession
BY AMBER GILLENWATER
MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM

GALLIPOLIS
—
Following guilty pleas to
theft and drug possession, two men were
recently sentenced to
prison in the Gallia
County
Court
of
Common Pleas.
Dustin W. Shook, 24,
Middleport, was recently
sentenced to three years
of incarceration after
pleading guilty to one
count of theft.
According to the

indictment, on May 27,
2010, in Gallia County,
Shook stole a Remington,
model 597, .22 caliber
rifle and scope from the
victim in this case, a third
degree felony.
Shook’s sentence was
ordered to be served concurrently with a threeyear prison term the
defendant is currently
serving through Monroe
County, Ohio, for three
counts of theft and one
count of burglary.
Shook was given credit
for seven days served,

was ordered to have no
contact with the victim in
this case and was ordered
to pay court costs. He is
scheduled to be released
from
the
Belmont
Correctional Institution
in February 2014 and
may be subject to a period of up to three years of
post-release control.
James S. Hairston, 22,
Gallipolis, was recently
sentenced in the common pleas court to a total
of 22 months of incarceration after pleading
guilty to two counts of

drug possession.
According to the
indictment, Hairston was
in the possession of one
and one half oxymorphone tablet on Sept. 27,
2010, and five (80 milligram)
oxycodone
tablets on Aug. 16, 2010.
During
sentencing,
Hairston
was
also
ordered to forfeit $1,138
to the Gallipolis Police
Department.
The defendant was
given credit for 16 days
served and was ordered to
pay court costs.

SOUTHSIDE, W.Va. —
A search warrant has been
issued and investigators are
currently scouring the
scene of a “suspicious” fire
that destroyed the home of
William “Jeff” and Ashley
(Baird) Crawford in
Southside, W.Va. —
searching for evidence that
may lead them toward a
suspect in the case that
recently turned from a
missing person’s investigation to a homicide investigation.
Sgt. E.B. Starcher, Post
Commander of the Mason
County Detachment of the
West Virginia State Police,
reported on Thursday that
a team of investigators had
received search warrants
for the scene of the fire in
Southside, as well as for
the Crawfords’ vehicle —
a Mustang of unknown
year that was located in
Mason
County
and
impounded by the Mason
County
Sheriff’s
Department.
According to Starcher,
following the discovery of
the Crawfords’ vehicle,
investigators with the sheriff’s department found that
the car had been purchased
illegally, its title forged. No
other information about
the vehicle has been
released.
The Crawfords and
cousin, Tonda (McCarty)
Nelson, have been missing
since June 17 — the investigation into their whereabouts changing to a homicide investigation following the discovery of human
remains
on
Sunday
evening on Duncan Creek
Road, Gallipolis Ferry.
Forensic specialists from
the Smithsonian Institute
in Washington, D.C.,
arrived on scene on
Tuesday and the remains
were later positively identified as those of Ashley and
Tonda. The whereabouts
of Jeff Crawford remain
unknown.
Starcher reported that
Jeff remains as “person of
interest” in the investigation and the state police
would like to speak with
him or anyone with information in regard to his
whereabouts.
According to Starcher,
the bodies of Ashley
Crawford and Tonda
Nelson were turned over to
Wilcoxen Funeral Home in
Point
Pleasant
on
Thursday following autopsies on Wednesday. No

“We’re not going to release that information until

The women were last seen together on June 16 and —
although investigators are unsure of a time of death —
according to Starcher, the evidence found at the scene
could be consistent with a June 16 date of death.
According to investigators, no cell phone or bank activity had been detected since the trio vanished and officials
with the state police are continuing to ask that the public
come forward with information in regard to the whereabouts of Jeff Crawford and into the mysterious death of
Ashley Crawford and Tonda Nelson. Anyone with information should contact the West Virginia State Police at

Let your life
match your lip.

A Hunger For More
In confusing times and
difficult circumstances,
God has a way of getting
our attention. Whatever
you may think about
yourself and the world
around you, the Lord
has His eye on you and
desires to break through
the racket of everyday
static to reach into your
heart and pull you into
the center of His will.
I am not afraid to point
out that we live in troubling times. The times
are NOT troubling, however, simply because of
terrorists (although I’ll
not deny that terrorism is
truly troubling). The
times are NOT troubling
because some say our
economy is a wreck
(although the difficulties
associated with economic wreckage are troubling obstacles for any
family). And the times
are NOT troubling
because of the devastating natural disasters that
have afflicted our country (as troubling as that
is).
No, the times are troubling because of our calloused hearts and indifferent attitudes towards
our Maker. It is all too
rare a thing to find a man
or woman whose greatest desire is to serve God
wholeheartedly. Such a
one allows Him to not
only bring comfort and
encouragement, but follows His leading into a
life of purity and service. But God-centered
devotion like that is
sadly the exception and
not the rule. If there is a
danger to which we
commonly fall prey
these days, it is our tendency to regard God
selfishly and attempt to
find contentment in Him
on our own terms. And
in doing so the natural
consequence is a subtle
drifting into idolatry
(wherein we sacrifice to
some “god” other than
the Maker of heaven and
earth).
Idolatry isn’t found
only when stone statues
adorn
our
mantel
shelves or carved “good
luck” charms reside in
our pockets. Nor is it
found only when we
consult the newspaper’s
horoscope section or
local palm reader for
advice about choices
before us. While each of
these examples are all

Thom Mollohan
indeed idolatry, we also
tiptoe into it when we
devote our time, energy,
and resources to our
own interests or we try
to make God something
that He is not. If all God
is to us is a great, big
“wish granter” or some
vague “force” that we
hope will see to it that
we live pleasant enough
lives, then we are bowing down to an idol.
Historically speaking,
it’s the human thing to
do. But God has higher
hopes for you and for
me than that. In the sixth
chapter of the seventh
book of the Old
Testament (Judges, in
case you wondered),
God found His people
slip-sliding into idolatry
again (they, like us, had
a
knack
for
it).
Consequently, He permitted troubles to wash
over them until they
simply couldn’t stand it
anymore. Baal and
Asherah (a Canaanite
form of Ishtar) were the
idols of choice. Perhaps
it was because they were
easy to understand and
people feel most comfortable with things they
understand.
Whatever the case,
God’s people had so
muddled their worship
of the Lord God with
their trust in the Baals
and Asherahs, that it
couldn’t be said that
they really worshiped
God at all: to really worship Him, one must bow
to His supremacy in all
things and depose competitors. As a result of
their misplaced devotion, foreign invaders
not only oppressed them
but so effectively impoverished them that the
Israelites had to keep
secret places of safety
for themselves and for
their crops.
“When the Israelites
cried to the LORD

because of Midian, he
sent them a prophet,
who said, ‘This is what
the LORD, the God of
Israel, says: I brought
you up out of Egypt, out
of the land of slavery. I
snatched you from the
power of Egypt and
from the hand of all your
oppressors. I drove them
from before you and
gave you their land. I
said to you, “I am the
LORD your God; do not
worship the gods of the
Amorites, in whose land
you live.” But you have
not listened to Me’”
(Judges 6:7-10).
But in spite of their
obstinate refusal to give
up their idol worship,
God showed them grace.
It so happened that in
this particular instance,
God sent His angel to an
unsuspecting
man
named Gideon who was
secretly threshing his
wheat in a winepress
(since the bad guys
would come and swipe it
if they caught him doing
it). By the way, you
might want to make a
mental note of the fact
that God sees you wherever you are and isn’t
going to be deterred in
interrupting your schedule just because you
thought that maybe He
forgot you or others
have overlooked you.
“When the angel of
the LORD appeared to
Gideon, he said, ‘The
LORD is with you,
mighty warrior.’ ‘But
sir,’ Gideon replied, ‘if
the LORD is with us,
why has all this happened to us? Where are
all His wonders that our
fathers told us about
when they said, “Did not
the LORD bring us up
out of Egypt?” But now
the LORD has abandoned us and put us into
the hand of Midian.’ The
LORD turned to him
and said, ‘Go in the
strength you have and
save Israel out of
Midian’s hand. Am I not
sending you?’ ‘But
Lord,’ Gideon asked,
‘how can I save Israel?
My clan is the weakest
in Manasseh, and I am
the least in my family.’
The LORD answered, “I
will be with you, and
you will strike down all
the Midianites together’” (Judges 6:12-16).
And so began the
greatest adventure that

ATTEND
THE CHURCH

Gideon had ever known.
The very first thing that
Gideon did was to offer
genuine worship to God
(see Judges 6:17-24).
The very next thing he
did was become a catalyst for his family, his
town, and his people for
spiritual truth and radically challenged their
worship of idols (see
Judges
6:25-32).
Remember that God
wasn’t going to just
wink at their spiritual
adultery while setting
them free from their
oppression: He was
determined to attack
their spiritual oppressors
first!
When the Lord had
addressed their spiritual
need, He set Gideon to
the task of preparing an
army
which
God
promptly whittled down
to a mere three hundred
men — any more than
that would have raised
some doubt about who
really was going to win
the battle for them (see
Judges 7:1-7). It’s time
to make another mental
note: God is NOT interested in you serving
Him in your own
strength, nor is He especially enamored by service to Him that does
not permit Him to
demonstrate His power
and
His
presence
through you. If you can
do His work in YOUR
strength and in YOUR
way, where is the glory
for God in that?
At any rate, God used
this teeny-tiny group of
three hundred men to
overthrow an army of
about 135,000 warriors.
Now, if the Lord can
take a small force like
that accomplish such an
astounding victory, what
can He do through you
in the face of such
adversaries as doubt,
hate, grief, greed, hate,
and violence? What
could He do with a man
or woman who would
render Him sincere and
unadulterated worship
and a life of wholehearted service? Make another mental note: He can
take someone like you
and change the world.
All He needs from you
is a willingness to trust
Him and to follow Him
onto the path of true and
genuine worship.

OF YOUR
CHOICE

There are far too many
Christians who live two different lives: one on the
inside, another on the outside; one Sunday morning,
another the rest of the week.
Such people are hypocrites, phonies, Christian
liars; they live wrong lives.
Why? Because they have a
wrong heart. We must be
very careful that our heart is
clean and pure (see Psalm
51:10).
We are told in Matthew
12:34 why our heart is so
important: For out of the
overflow of the heart the
mouth speaks. In other
words, your heart affects
your mouth.
Since our lives, and especially our words, are being
examined by unbelievers, we
must be careful to have a
clean heart so that we will
have clean words; and if we
have clean words, then our
lives will show good fruit. In
other words, a good (spiritual) heart will bear good fruit.
No good tree bears bad
fruit, nor does a bad tree bear
good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit.
People do not pick figs from
thornbushes, or grapes from
briers. The good man brings
good things out of the good
stored up in his heart, and the
evil man brings evil things
out of the evil stored up in
his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth
speaks (Luke 6:43-45).

to your faith goodness;
and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge,
self-control; and to selfcontrol, perseverance;
and perseverance, godliness; and to godliness,
brotherly kindness; and
to brotherly kindness,
love. For if you possess
these
qualities
in
increasing measure, they
will keep you from
being ineffective and
unproductive in your
knowledge of our Lord
Jesus
Christ….
Therefore, my brothers,
be all the more eager to
make your calling and
election sure. For if you
do these things, you will
never fall, and you will
receive a rich welcome
into the eternal kingdom
of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ” (2 Peter
1:5-8, 10-11).

�FAITH &amp; FAMILY
‘In youth, we learn;
in age, we understand’
It’s Tuesday, and I’m
thinking it’s a great day in
Pomeroy!
I like it here, and by the
grace of God my family
and I have been most fortunate to meet a lot of kind
and wonderful people
throughout the area. So,
on this day the Lord has
made I want to share my
own attitude of gratitude
for all God has made
available to me and mine.
Like the opportunities
He gives me to meet and
greet people on the street
and in church, and, of
course, wherever else I
might happen to be. By
and large, I consider all
such occasions to be
God’s handiwork; so, I’ll
affirm them for what they
are—“divine
appointments.”
I believe everything
happens for a reason, and
that there is a purpose to
everything
in
life.
Whether in my youth or
naïveté, or both, I don’t
know, but for the longest
time I heard this said, but
wasn’t ready, willing, or
able to flesh this out in
fact.
With the onset of maturity and its attendant
insights, it dawned on me
I have had plenty of experiences to validate this.
Put yourself in my shoes,
and you’ll be on the same
page as I.
It’s as the Lutherans
down the street righteously have set forth on their
sign board: ... “In youth
we learn; in age we understand.”
Case in point: last week
I made mention of several
pending repairs and
improvements to be
addressed and undertaken
here. I always have had
an inquiring mind, which
is to say I’ve been known
exercise it by asking questions of those who are
doing what I don’t understand.
My father was one of
my first such “victims.”
To his great credit, Dad

Thomas Johnson
put up with me when I
engaged in picking his
brain, but there were limits; he wasn’t a man of
infinite patience.
As a minister, whenever
some project has been
undertaken in any church
I’ve been the pastor of I
like to observe the contractor and the work in
progress.
For me, these truly have
been learning experiences.
When I don’t understand
something, or immediately discern what’s happening, I ask questions; old
habits die hard.
Honestly, I’ve learned
many things and acquired
numerous insights from
the various pros I’ve
observed, and right here in
Pomeroy has been no
exception! To their credit,
I believe I am a better man
as a result of their sharing
what they know with me.
Over time I’ve become
slightly more judicious
and, perhaps, judgmental,
as regards the workmanship of those I’ve
observed. My Navy training so broadened my horizons that, in addition to
my learning there’s a right
way and a wrong way of
doing any one thing, I also
came to realize there may
be yet a better way of
doing it.
I like “the better way.”
It may cost more in the
short run, but generally is
likely to last longer. You
know the drill: “you only
get what you pay for.”
Honestly, the Lutherans
nailed it: what we may

have learned when we
were young doesn’t necessarily mean all that
much at the time. Then,
with age comes maturity
and wisdom, and everything seems to conveniently come together.
It’s rather comical, is it
not, that just as we’re
realizing our parents
weren’t so dumb after all
our own children seem to
think we’re dumber than
dumb! Does God actually mean for us to have
both of these two somewhat conflicting experiences at one and the same
time?!?
Parents probably have
wondered about this forever. I can’t say for certain, but I suspect my
three offspring have
doubted that what I know
is sufficient to fill a cavity in a gnats tooth.
What I do know is that
God is big, really BIG, on
our acquiring wisdom
and under-standing. Of
the thirty-nine Books of
the Old Testament, five—
Job, Psalms, Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes, and the
Song of Solomon—are
known collectively as
“Wisdom Literature.”
Just as the Bible derives
from the inspiration of
God’s own Holy Spirit,
wisdom is the essence of
the Word of God. The
emphasis of Proverbs
4:4-7 is on our acquiring
it, and living of our lives
under its influence—for
which no one, I dare say,
has ever been convicted!!!
Proverbs 9:10 explicitly posits that “the fear of
the Lord is the beginning”—not the end, mind
you, just the beginning—
“of wisdom.” The writer
of Ecclesiastes says nothing else matters more,
and James says God gives
wisdom to all who sincerely want it (1:5-6).
May you learn as you
live, and may your understanding of God be your
foremost virtue.

Covered By The Shepherd
When captivated by a
moment where physical,
mental, statistical, emotional, or when at work
protection is needed,
have you ever had anybody tell you: “I’ve got
your back!” or “I’ve got
you covered.”
I remember the time
when my I received an
emergency call from my
sister at work that led me
to leave work early –
right away. I told the person sitting behind my
desk and went to tell the
supervisor that I must
run home because my
step father had just
passed away; both of
them said: “Go ahead,
I’ve got you covered.” In
other words, they told
me that they would do
my job for me – not to
worry about it. I was
refreshed because I did
not want to just leave
carelessly.
When we look at the
1st verse of the 23rd
Psalm, what do we think
about? What is our mental picture? Better yet,
what is the reality of
David’s description of
Jehovah God as our
Shepherd?
Here are a few translations of this verse:
KJV - The Lord is my
Shepherd, I shall not
want.
Amplified Bible - The
Lord is my Shepherd [to
feed, guide, and shield

Alex Colon
me], I shall not lack.
New
Living
Translation - The LORD
is my shepherd; I have
everything I need.
Young’s
Literal
Translation - Jehovah is
my Shepherd, I do not
lack.
And here’s Colón’s
Translation (if I may):
Jehovah
is
MY
Shepherd, I do not and
will not lack.
In order to truly comprehend what this verse
is really saying, we must
understand the meaning
of the words used by
David and its contents. I
will not try to do a complete exegesis of this
verse due to space in this
article, but I will point
out the highlights to suffice the fact that God is
my Shepherd.
The word in Hebrew
that David used is the
word: râ‘âh . When used
as a noun, râ‘âh frequently refers to literal

shepherds. When applied
metaphorically, however,
its most common usage
is with reference to leaders in general; military
and/or
judicial-royal
leadership is understood.
It is also often used with
respect to God, and a few
times with reference to
the messiah.
Used as a verb, râ‘âh
most often refers to the
literal tending of sheep,
as a rule understood primarily to involve feeding
and leading to fresh pasture. Used metaphorically, it often refers to
God’s provision for His
people, frequently with
reference to Israel’s
restoration.
“The Lord is my
Shepherd;” alludes to the
fact that HE cares for
me, watches over me,
and
preserves
me.
Notice that the words are
in the present tense, not
in the past tense.
Whatever be the believer’s position, he is even
now under the pastoral
care of Jehovah. In other
words, as a believer, He’s
got your back; He’s got
your covered!
Is the Lord your
Shepherd? Make sure to
recognize Him and allow
Him to be your Shepherd
today. He truly wants to
have your back and get
your covered! Next time
we’ll talk about ... “I do
not lack.”

God’s shade overshadows the
shadows that stand on your soul?
BY PASTOR
RON BRANCH
Everything casts a
shadow. We often find
ourselves positioned with
those things that cast a
shadow, like the shadow
cast by a passing cloud, a
tree, or by someone
standing close at hand.
There is nothing to such
shadows because these
are merely the affect of
objects or persons situated in such ways to block
light. Such shadows may
shield us from light or
heat for a time, but otherwise have no permanent
affect. Besides, we can
move out from these
shadows at will.
Even many things
involving life casts a
shadow. We often find
ourselves positioned with
those things that cast a
shadow, like the shadow
cast by utter disappointment, or by someone,
whom we loved dearly,
that died. These shadows
cover the soul with such
emotional weight that
sometimes it feels as
though it is impossible to
stand. They lean on the
heart and mind sometimes with such burden
we weary from the emotional load. To complicate
matters, we cannot move
out from underneath the
affect of these shadows at
will. Such shadows possess a propensity to follow us everywhere we go.
The soul is such a sensitive essence of our inner
being. It innately wants to
thrive, to rise and stretch
outward with vivacity,
and to experience the joyousness of life. Yet, shadows cast by adverse circumstances often effectively stand on the soul.

Ron Branch
Buried by the weight
inside our living bodies,
we become like some sort
of dead men walking.
Does God want us to
live this way? Does He
care about the agonies of
our sensitive souls, which
are part of His creative
design?
How can one stand to
live out the expectations
of life, only to be hindered, when shadows
stand on the soul?
Thankfully, there is a
way. There is a plan. The
soul does not have to be
continually dominated by
the stances of those
adverse, heavy shadows
that come to all of us at
times.
What are needed are
bigger shadows. Like the
shadow from a large
cloud that passes overhead to cancel a person’s
shadow on the ground,
bigger shadows consume
the scope and affect of
smaller shallows. The
larger shadow from above
detaches the smaller
shadow from staying in
constant contact with our
every emotional and spiritual movement.
There are bigger shadows than the ones that
often stand on our soul.
First, there is “the shadow of the Almighty.”

Consider the enormity of
the shadow cast by God
in this life. The Psalmist
expressed amazement at
the beneficent quality of
God’s shadow on him.
For him, the shadow of
God consumed the “terror of night, the pestilence of darkness, and the
destruction that wastes at
noonday.” Nothing else
attempting to cast a shadow on his soul would
weigh him utterly down
because God’s shadow
mitigated the affect.
I do not know what
shadow stands on your
soul. But, I know what
tries to stand on mine.
Yet, it is God’s shadow, I
have found, that has
brought relief from the
heaviness of it all. After
all, God’s shadow does
not stand on the soul.
Second, there is “the
shadow of His hand.”
Prophet Isaiah makes a
clear distinction here. It is
not a covering shadow
from God’s hand held
overhead, but the shadow
created by one being held
in God’s hand. “I have
covered you in the shadow of mine hand.”
Being in the shadow of
God’s hand lends distinct
advantage. There is no
shadow bearing on our
soul heavy enough that
God cannot lift, and,
when He lifts the weight
of our shadow, it lifts the
soulful strain from off or
our hearts and minds.
Prophet
Jeremiah
wrote, “Under His shadow we shall live.”
My shadow marks nine
years now. I live under
God’s shadow daily — so
that I can stand in the
lightness of soul that
comes from fellowship
with God.

God is not a hippie
BY CARRIE WOLFE
Perhaps the easiest thing
is to forget the sovereignty
of God. It is not apart of our
culture. We are America. We
threw off the power of kings
generations ago. We even
have the School House Rock
song, “No More Kings”. We
view Him more as a friend, a
brother. He is someone to
help us walk through this
life and yet, He is so much
more.
We often forget “the
more” or we push it aside in
the hope God will feel more
like a friend than the Lord
God Almighty.
Christ did not come
through such an elaborate
plan for us to be redeemed to
play tea party with us. He
did not come to offer crumpets and finger sandwiches
for eternity. He came that we
might be saved from the
consequences of the sin
Adam and Eve first brought
to this world through their
disobedience. We have multiplied their sin so many
times over.
God is nobody’s fool. He
is not some elderly professor
who putters about absentminded. He isn’t a hyper
child easily consumed by
each new thing that twinkles
and makes noise as it comes
along. God is also not an
uber passive hippie with
flowers in His hair, passing a
bong to you and telling you
to “try some, everybody’s
doin’ it, man.”
God is god, The God. He
is the King of kings, the
Lord of lords.
There is no compromise
with that. Yes, Jesus loves
us. Yes, He cared enough for
us to be born like one of us,
suffer and die for us. He then

Carrie Wolfe
conquered death and arose
on the third day. Only the
Holy One, the perfectly
Righteous One could do

“But you, beloved,
building yourselves
up on your most
holy faith, praying
in the Holy Spirit,
keep yourselves in
the love of God,
looking for the
mercy of our Lord
Jesus Christ unto
eternal life.”
that. Only the King whose
domain is the whole universe and creator could do
that for us.
At some point, whether
we believe in Him or not, we
will encounter Him. The
book of Revelation is clear
on the image we will
encounter. At some point,
we will encounter the King
of kings sitting in all His
glory in holy judgment of
each one of us. Then we will
have to give account of how
we served Him, if that be
well or not. It isn’t a test we
can make up excuses to get
out of. Mom can’t help you

here. All will be put to the
test, to the scrutiny of the
holy King. How will you
fair?
Jude verses 20-21: “But
you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy
faith, praying in the Holy
Spirit, keep yourselves in
the love of God, looking for
the mercy of our Lord Jesus
Christ unto eternal life.”
We have a choice. We can
seek to serve Him, finding
mercy and love or we can go
the other route. Jesus spoke
of hell and of heaven. (I
think that just may mean it
is important.) The question
is, do you recognize the
sovereignty of the Living
God or not...and regardless
if you do right now, some
day you will have to.
Philippians
2:10-11:
“That at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of
those in heaven, and of
those on earth, and of those
under the earth, and that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.”
The question is, are you
serving Him? How are you
serving Him? What fruit are
you producing for His kingdom? Are you seeking to
add to honor and glory to
Him and His kingdom or
are you seeking personal
gain and personal glory?
Are you more consumed
with the trinkets and
baubles of this world?
Think about it. Think
about it and then do something! Remember His banner of victory is the cross.
Serve Him with all your
heart, not just a fraction of
it! Live a life of Grace Out
Loud!

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — An incomplete application for federal funding
means clients of an Ohio Planned
Parenthood chapter will have to pay for
services that used to be free.
The Dayton Daily News reports that
as a result of the error, Planned
Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region
will lose out on $5.05 million in federal and state grants to be distributed over
five years.
A spokeswoman for the Ohio
Department of Health, which administers the competitive grant program,
says the group failed to submit budget
information in its application. That
omission was a major reason Planned
Parenthoods scored below other applicants.
The funding loss will primarily affect
low-income clients in four counties.

Haynesworth, Bush, Kolb headed to new teams
BY HOWARD FENDRICH
ASSOCIATED PRESS

There goes Albert
Haynesworth, heading
from Mike Shanahan’s
Redskins
to
Bill
Belichick’s
Patriots.
Reggie Bush? The Saints
sent him to the Dolphins.
And the Kevin Kolb
saga is ending the way
pretty much everyone
expected, with a trade
from the Eagles to the
Cardinals.
NFL clubs made a
move a minute Thursday
— and that trio of bigname deals was only the
beginning.
Day 3 of the compressed, post-lockout
offseason also included

more contract agreements and plenty of cuts,
which teams were finally allowed to start
announcing at 4:01 p.m.
ET. Among the players
getting released were
Vince Young by the
Titans, Nate Clements
by the 49ers, and Jake
Delhomme
by
the
Browns.
In the first dramatic
example of how the new
labor deal’s rookie
salary system will affect
elite players, No. 2 overall draft pick Von Miller
got about $21 million
over four years from the
Denver Broncos. The
No. 2 pick in 2010,

lineman

as
much as $68 million
overall.
Broncos football chief
John Elway tweeted,
“We have agreed to
terms with our 1st round
pick, LB Von Miller.
Can’t wait to get him on
the field.”
In the Kolb deal,
Philadelphia received
cornerback Dominique
Rodgers-Cromartie and
a 2012 second-round
draft pick from Arizona,

which was in need of a
starting
quarterback.
Kolb had lost the
Eagles’ No. 1 QB job to
Michael Vick and wanted a chance to lead a
team.
Kolb, who turns 27
next month, reportedly
will get a $63 million,
five-year contract with
the Cardinals. RodgersCromartie, who went to
the Pro Bowl in 2009,
will play opposite fourtime Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel in
Philadelphia, shoring up
a pass defense that struggled last season.
All Washington got for

meanwhile, was a 2013 fifthround pick. By shipping

WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP)
— Phil Mickelson’s initial impressions of West
Virginia’s
Greenbrier
resort were about all
things family.
A relaxed Mickelson
was as eager to list the
activities for his wife,
Amy, and three children,
as he was about taking on
the retooled Old White
TPC at the Greenbrier
Classic
beginning
Thursday.
For starters, there was
laser tag, climbing a
wooden
tower
and
maneuvering on a giant
swing 45 feet in the air.
There also were plans to
interact with trained falcons and go white-water
rafting.
“It’s
an
amazing
place,” Mickelson said.
“I can’t get over all the
fun things that they have
to do. My daughters are
excited about the falconry. I don’t know where in
the world you can do
that.
“The golf is a bonus.”
Rather than take an
extra
week
off,
Mickelson is one of just
two golfers among the
top 20 in the world
entered in the Greenbrier
Classic, with Retief
Goosen being the other.
It makes for a tough
schedule that also will
take Mickelson to next
week’s
Bridgestone
Invitational five hours to
the north in Akron, Ohio,
followed by the PGA
Championship in Atlanta,
then the grueling FedEx
Cup playoffs.
So far, having the
loved ones along made
the early part of the week
seem a bit more like a
vacation.

New York Mets third baseman David Wright can’t reach a double hit by Cincinnati Reds’ Brandon Phillips during the third inning of a baseball game Thursday in Cincinnati.

Mets sweep Reds with 10-9 victory
CINCINNATI (AP) —
For a team that appeared
“drained” to manager
Terry Collins, the New
York Mets look surprisingly spry.
Lucas Duda and Jason
Bay each drove in three
runs with bases-loaded
doubles and the Mets
held off the reeling Reds
for a 10-9 victory
Thursday that gave New
York its first ever fourgame
sweep
in
Cincinnati — the last
two after slugger Carlos
Beltran was traded to
San Francisco.
“The last two games
speaks volumes about
these
guys,”
said
Collins, who watched
his team weather weeks
of speculation about
Beltran. “I can’t say
enough about the job
they’ve done. ... They
were drained. They were
wiped out physically.
They were wiped out
mentally. They were

playing strictly on nothing but game adrenaline.”
It went a long way.
David Wright and
Daniel Murphy both
completed a red-hot
series, helping the Mets
score 26 runs over the
last three games, and
Chris Capuano (9-10)
snapped a three-start
losing streak.
Wright went 3 for 5 to
extend his hitting streak
to seven games (15 for
33, .455) since coming
off the disabled list on
July 22. He was 9 for 19
with five RBIs in the
series.
Murphy, who went
into the game ranked
third in the NL with a
.319 average, went 1 for
3 and scored three runs
to finish the series 10 for
17 with five RBIs.
Bay finished with
three hits and said the
Mets have gone through
so much adversity this

season that Beltran’s
trade, which became
official less than an hour
before Thursday’s first
pitch, was just another
speed bump.
“I’m sure you guys
had questions,” said
Bay, who was part of
trade-deadline deals in
2002 and 2008. “We did,
too. It’s nice to have a
chance to deal with reality instead of focusing
on the what ifs.”
Capuano
allowed
eight hits and six runs
with three walks and
four strikeouts in 5 1-3
innings. He also had a
wild
pitch.
Jason
Isringhausen earned his
fourth save despite
allowing Joey Votto’s
16th homer of the season leading off the
ninth.
The Reds also got a
pinch-hit,
three-run
homer from Miguel
Cairo, but it wasn’t
enough to keep the

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme talks
with Carolina Panthers head coach John Fox prior to the
start of their NFL game at Cleveland Browns Stadium in
Cleveland, Ohio, Sunday, November 28, 2010.

BEREA, Ohio (AP)
— Quarterback Jake
Delhomme has been
unceremoniously
released
by
the
Cleveland Browns.
A one-sentence statement by the team on
Thursday announcing
the expected move was
quite a contrast to how
Delhomme came to
town a year ago.
Then, the Browns
welcomed Delhomme
with open arms and an
open bank book, giving
him a two-year contract. They hoped he
could help Cleveland
construct its first winning season since 2007.
Instead, a severely
sprained right ankle in
the season opener limited him to five games.
He lost his starting job
to rookie Colt McCoy.
Delhomme became

McCoy’s mentor, tutoring him in an unofficial
player-coach capacity.
He almost created the
role, often driving the
precocious passer from
Texas to practice, trying
to
impart
wisdom
gained as a former
Super Bowl and Pro
Bowl quarterback.
McCoy’s rapid development and the signing
this spring of backup
Seneca Wallace to a
three-year deal signaled
that the Browns would
save
paying
Delhomme’s
base
salary of $5.4 million in
2011.
Delhomme went 2-2
as Cleveland’s starter,
completing 93 of 149
passes for 872 yards
and two touchdowns
with seven interceptions. In seven years
with Carolina, he led

the Panthers to the
Super Bowl in 2004 and
was named to the Pro
Bowl in 2005. The
Panthers released him
after a 2009 season in
which he tossed 18
interceptions and only
eight touchdown passes.
The 36-year-old from
Louisiana could return
home to play for the
New Orleans Saints,
who showed interest in
him a year ago as a
backup to Drew Brees.
The Browns are more
focused at the moment
on signing draft picks
than spending on free
agents.
They
are
expected to announce
the signings of secondround picks Jabaal
Sheard and Greg Little.

Mets a 4-2 lead with a
three-run double down
the right-field line with
one out in the fourth
inning after Bay struck
out. Josh Thole followed
with an RBI single to
right.
Duda, who homered in
New York’s 8-2 win on
Wednesday, hasn’t surprised Collins with the
smooth transition.
“He hasn’t shown me
anything more than
what I thought he had,”
Collins said. “I knew he

$3.32 million with a

It is all part of the
Browns’ change of
course under new coach
Pat Shurmur, who
replaced the fired Eric
Mangini
after
Cleveland went 5-11.

by negotiating a new
two-year contract for
nearly $10 million with
him, a person familiar
with the talks told The

One inning later, it
was Bay’s turn to deliver a three-run double up
the right-center field
gap as New York scored
four runs for the second
consecutive inning and
opened a 9-3 lead. Bay
had gone 0 for 8 in the
previous two games.
Bay’s shot knocked
Cincinnati
starter
Homer Bailey out of the
game. Bailey (5-5),
who’d won his last two
starts, set a career high
by allowing nine earned
runs. The Mets collected
12 hits with two walks
and two strikeouts
against the right-hander,
who faced five batters

without getting an out in
the fifth.
The Reds knocked
Capuano out of the
game during a four-run
sixth, three on Cairo’s
homer off reliever
Manny Acosta. They
added a run in the seventh on back-to-back
doubles by Chris Heisey
and Jay Bruce.
NOTES: The trade of
Beltran to the Giants for

changing the defense
from a 3-4 to a 4-3 set.
Delhomme was not
invited back for the
changeover,
though
tight end Evan Moore
said he is eager to jump
back on board.
“Yes, I plan on doing
so,” Moore said when
asked if he will be resigning
with
the
Browns when NFL
teams are allowed to
announce
free-agent
signings Friday at 6
p.m.
Moore emphasized
that the new agreement
had taken away the
word “unrestricted” in
front of free agent in his
case, but that he never
wanted
to
leave
Cleveland anyway.

“My comfort level
here with the direction
of the team since coach
(team president Mike)
Holmgren and (general
manager) Tom Heckert
came aboard is great.
There was no place I
wanted to be but here. It
was a no-brainer,” he
said. “This is a great
place with great fans.”
Kicker Phil Dawson,
who had announced
retirement plans at the
end of last season, is
expected to report
Friday. The Browns
designated him as a
their franchise player in
February.
“I had a very good
conversation
with
Phil,” Heckert had said
Wednesday. “And we’ll

see what happens.”
Linebacker D’Qwell
Jackson, who missed all
of last season with a
torn pectoral muscle,
said he is healthy and
excited to play in a
revamped
defensive
alignment.
“The 4-3 is a blessing
to me,” Jackson said.
“There’s less battles
with those 330-pound
linemen. I like seeing
four big guys in front of
me. I’ll have a little less
movement, but a lot
more fun.”
The Browns also
announced they had terminated the contract of
linebacker
Eric
Alexander and waived
tight
end
Tyson
DeVree.

“Change is never easy
but I look forward to
building something special in Miami and can’t
wait to embark on this
new journey!” Bush
wrote on Twitter.
In other transactions
Thursday:
—Buffalo agreed to a
four-year contract worth
about $15 million with
Brad Smith, the versatile
receiver-running backkick returner who was a
force in the wildcat formation with the Jets.
—Atlanta agreed to a
one-year contract with
linebacker
Mike
Peterson, who started 13
games last year with the
Falcons, making 79
tackles, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and forcing one
fumble.
— The Redskins

added free-agent defensive
end
Stephen
Bowen, whose agent
announced the deal on
Twitter. Bowen played
five seasons with the
Cowboys; he had 11⁄2
sacks in nine starts last
year.
—Philadelphia

“To have an environment here that’s so family friendly, it makes it
easy,” Mickelson said
Wednesday.
Coming off a tie for
second at the British
Open, Mickelson can
take over the FedEx Cup
points lead with a win at
the Greenbrier Classic.
He’s currently fourth.
Webb Simpson, at No. 9,
is the only other golfer in
the top 10 in points
entered.
“I had a good tournament there at the British
and I felt like I turned the
corner,” Mickelson said.
“I’m starting to put
things together slowly,
be a little bit more
patient, enjoy my time
on the course and be
more creative hitting
shots again. I’m excited
about this next threeweek stretch.”
Mickelson’s
only
impressions of the par70 Old White before this
week were from television, watching Stuart
Appleby shoot 59 to win
last year’s inaugural
tournament at 22 under,
a stroke better than Jeff
Overton.
Mickelson will be in
the same group as
Appleby and Greenbrier
pro
emeritus
Tom
Watson for the first two
rounds and plans to pay
particular attention to the
defending champion.
“I’ll probably watch a
little bit how he plays
this course,” Mickelson
said.
Mickelson was paired
in a pro-am Wednesday
with Greenbrier owner
Jim Justice, who made it
one of his missions to
lure Mickelson to this
event.
“I like old-style golf
courses,”
Mickelson
said. “I like courses that
are fun to play, courses
that you can make
birdies, you can be
aggressive on, you can
recover if you make a

mistake. And this course
seems to suit that.”
It’s just not suitable for
59s anymore. The Old
White has undergone
significant changes since
last year.
Fairways have been
narrowed, bunkers have
been added and the 97year-old course has been
lengthened more than
200 yards. A lake on No.
16 was expanded. The
greens were reseeded
with bentgrass and
should be firmer and
faster.
“It’s got to be, I think,
between three and four
shots harder than what it
was for us Saturday and
Sunday last year compared to today,” Appleby
said. “You know, anyone
shooting in the mid-teens
I think would be a very
good score.”
Especially
for
Appleby, who’s in another slump.
He’s missed nine cuts
in his last 12 tournaments, was disqualified
from the AT&amp;T National
for signing an incorrect
scorecard and withdrew
from the St. Jude’s
Classic after shooting 8
over in the first round.
But he entered last
year’s
Greenbrier
Classic in a slide too: he
hadn’t won since 2006.
“You know, at this
time last year, I was also
very
frustrated,”
Appleby said. “The
game works in weird
ways.”
Watson missed last
year’s tournament in
order to compete in the
U.S. Senior Open. He’s
entered this year and
joked that, given the
course’s makeover, he’d
like to play from the
seniors’ tees.
“There’s not going to
be any 59s shot,” Watson
said. “The greens are a
lot firmer. The ball is not
going to stop. It’s going
to take a lot of skill to get
the ball close to the flag
positions
on
these
greens. It’s like playing
the links greens where
they really are hard and
they release.”
