WASHINGTON — The Trump administration
and China are close to ﬁnalizing a modest trade
agreement that would suspend tariffs that are set
to kick in Sunday, de-escalating their 17-month
trade war.
“We’re close to a deal,’’ said Myron Brilliant, the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s head of international
affairs, who has been briefed by both sides.
Brilliant said the administration has agreed to
suspend Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on $160
billion in Chinese imports Sunday and to reduce
existing tariffs, though it wasn’t clear by how
much.
In return, Beijing would buy more U.S. farm
products, increase Americans companies’ access
to the Chinese market and tighten protection for
intellectual property rights.
The deal awaits ﬁnal approval from President
Donald Trump.
Trump took to Twitter early Thursday to
declare: “Getting VERY close to a BIG DEAL with
China. They want it, and so do we!”’
The president’s comments triggered a daylong
rally on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average surged 220 points, or 0.8%.
Earlier Thursday, a spokesman for China’s
Ministry of Commerce, Gao Feng, had told reporters that “the economic and trade teams of both
sides have maintained close communication.” He
offered no additional details.

NEW YORK — Federal regulators are setting up a new three-digit number to reach a
suicide prevention hotline in order to make it
easier to seek help and reduce the stigma associated with mental health.
Once it’s implemented, people will just need
to dial 988 to seek help, similar to calling 911
for emergencies or 311 for city services. Currently, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
uses a 10-digit number, 800-273-TALK (8255).
Callers are routed to one of 163 crisis centers,
where counselors answered 2.2 million calls
last year.
“The three-digit number is really going
to be a breakthrough in terms of reaching
people in a crisis,” said Dwight Holton, CEO
of Lines for Life, a suicide prevention nonproﬁt. “No one is embarrassed to call 911
for a ﬁre or an emergency. No one should be
embarrassed to call 988 for a mental health
emergency.”
A law last year required the Federal Communications Commission to study assigning a
three-digit number for suicide prevention.

CROSS WORDS

Jesus understands temptation, Part II
We’ve all been rejected
by someone at one time
or another. Maybe it was
a cute girl in elementary
school; The popular guy
in high school; A co-worker, boss, spouse, motherin-law, or lousy friend. I
think you get the point.
Rejection is a painful reality of life.
But Jesus understands
rejection.
Not everyone received
Christ when He came.
The shepherds joyfully
traveled to Bethlehem to
see the promised Messiah
(see Luke 2:15-16). The
wise men came expectantly, longing to worship
He who was born King of
the Jews (see Matt. 2:2).
Simeon welcomed the
promised child as he held
Him in his own arms (see
Luke 2:28). Anna praised
God for bringing the

Redeemer into her world
(see Luke 2:38). But
most of the Jews rejected
Him.
The Jews had been
expecting their Messiah
to come for hundreds
of years. Old Testament
prophets like Isaiah,
Jeremiah, Hosea, and
Micah prophesied His
future coming. But when
the long-expected Jesus
ﬁnally appeared in Bethlehem, He faced a great
deal of rejection.
John writes, “He came
to his own, and his own
people did not receive
him” (1:11 ESV).
It amazes me how the
Jews beg Samuel for a
king (see 1 Samuel 8:5)
only to reject their true
King when He comes
hundreds of years later.
Not only was Jesus
rejected by the Jews, He

because of what your family lacks? Take comfort in
knowing that Jesus understands.
But here’s the truth:
whether one receives
Christ or rejects Him
doesn’t diminish who He
is — the perfect Son of
God. And that makes all
the difference.
God the Father had
already afﬁrmed Christ’s
identity. After His baptism, God said, “‘This
is my beloved Son, with
whom I am well pleased’”
(Matt. 3:17 ESV).
And when we receive
Jesus as Lord and Savior, we have our Father’s
approval, too. After John
mentions the Jews who
reject Christ, he writes,
“But to all who did
receive him, who believed
in his name, he gave the
right to become children

of God” (1:12 ESV).
As a child of God,
you’re not deﬁned by
what people think about
you. You’re not stuck
in some family curse.
Whether people reject
you, adore you, or know
nothing about you, you’ve
been accepted by your
Father. Just like Jesus.
And that’s what matters
most.
Jesus understands
rejection. But have you
accepted Him?
No matter what kind
of rejection we face, we
can ﬁnd acceptance in
the arms of a Savior
who understands. Why?
Because He came as a
baby on that day we call
Christmas.

GOD’S KIDS KORNER

A HUNGER FOR MORE

‘Jesus Joy’
in Our
Hearts

How do you respond to God’s interruptions?

For the third Sunday of Advent this week, our
journey continues with the Star of JOY. We sing
Christmas hymns like “Joy to the World” and “How
Great our Joy,” and I bet, you know the song “I’ve
Got That Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in My Heart” too.
Joy brightens our hearts, but it is often confused
with happiness. Joy is more than just being happy;
it’s deeper inside us. But let’s be speciﬁc and talk
about “Christian joy.”
Christian joy is felt in our very
souls and produced by the Holy Spirit
as He causes us to realize the love
and beauty of Christ in the Bible and
in the world. We know that God sent
His Son, Jesus, to be born to us as
the HOPE for the world because He
Ann
LOVES us so much which causes us
Moody
all to have great JOY this season and
Contributing every day.
columnist
The Bible says the angel of the Lord
told the shepherds the night Jesus was
born, “Do not be afraid; I bring you
good news of great JOY that will be for all people.
Today in the city of David, a Savior has been born
to you; He is Christ,
the Lord.” (Luke 2:
The one thing I’d like
10-11) The one thing
I’d like you to rememyou to remember
ber from today’s lesson

is that His great JOY is

is for ALL people.
All means you, me,

your family, your
friends, you neighme, your family,
bors, people you don’t

neighbors, people
around the world —
you don’t know
everybody on earth.
Pretty amazing isn’t it
from everywhere
when we think about
around the world —
it! God’s hope and love
everybody on earth.
and joy is meant for
each and every person
on this planet!
You may think to yourself though, “I can’t have
that kind of joy in my heart because I have too
many problems like _______.” (Fill in the blank.)
Well, guess what? We can all have that sort of joy
in our hearts because Christian joy doesn’t mean
that we don’t have questions, fears, or problems.
It means that we know and believe Jesus is bigger
than those. Jesus came to earth to connect Himself
to us, so He will never leave us alone to fend for
ourselves.
We can have “Jesus JOY” no matter what is going
on in our lives because Jesus is alive and well in
our hearts.
That kind of JOY leads to worship and thankfulness to our Savior. I hope this week you will think
about and celebrate the JOY that comes from Him
who was born a baby to grow up and save us. He
is still Jesus with us, so put that” Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy
Down in YOUR Heart!”
Let’s pray. Father God, thank You for sending
Jesus to earth, so He could be our JOY forever and
ever.
No matter what happens or is going on, we can
have the JOY from knowing that we always have
Jesus who will help us get through anything and
everything that may be in our lives.
May we all have that JOY this season and the rest
of our lives and then share it with others too. In
Your name we pray, Amen.
Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the
Middleport First Presbyterian Church.

I frequently make the
observation that a sovereign God, Who personally interacts with
humanity and involves
Himself in the affairs of
His creation, will in no
way be hesitant about
intruding into your life.
If we can for a moment
pry ourselves out of
a mindset of self-centeredness, God’s freely
summoning us from our
own agendas to attend
to His instead makes
complete sense.
Sometimes we have
some room to determine whether or not
we will accept such
interruptions or reject
them. Sometimes,
however, His interruptions are thrust upon
us and we’ve only room
to decide if we shall
embrace them or resent
them, required to walk
on difﬁcult paths and
suffer troubling circumstances no matter what
we might have chosen
for ourselves.
Of course the Scriptures are replete with
examples of this pattern. Abraham, Moses,
Jonah, Job, Matthew,
John, Peter, Paul, and
dozens of others, all
personally experienced
an unexpected encounter with the Living
God Who didn’t mind
crowding out their
ﬁnite plans and ambitions with His own
amazing agenda. It was
a good thing that He
did, too, for each of
them.
The things they may
have thought that they
wanted or might have
hoped for were as petty
and small in comparison with God’s plans
as are driveway gravels

Mary, the mother
of Jesus, for example,
found her own life
thrown into such
upheaval that it would

to despair.
“In the sixth month
the angel Gabriel
was sent from God
to a city of Galilee
named Nazareth, to a
virgin betrothed to a
man whose name was
Joseph, of the house of
David. And the virgin’s
name was Mary. And he
came to her and said,
‘Greetings, O favored
one, the Lord is with
you!’
But she was greatly

Remember that God
is not nor has ever been

knowledge that God

your eyes away and

experience His power
and grace in your life?
Will you choose to trust
God with your circumstances and believe that
He seeks to use them
to draw you closer to
Himself? Will you surrender your will, pride,
and desires to Him so
that He can produce
a legacy that will help
others also to know
Him personally and
experience His love at
work in their own lives?
May it be so. May
you yield your life to
Him and trust His
goodness. May you
come to Him and know

the Most High.
“Blessed is she who
believed that there
would be a fulﬁllment
of what was spoken
to her from the Lord”

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — Into the win column
with one sensational shot.
Trailing by two points with two seconds left in
overtime, Gallia Academy senior Reece Thomas
knocked down a game-winning three-point shot,
giving the Blue Devils a 54-53 win over Piketon on
Wednesday night in a neutral court game at Shawnee State University.
GAHS (1-1) was behind 17-11 eight minutes
into play, and trailed 27-20 at halftime.
Five different Blue Devils scored in the third
quarter, as Gallia Academy battled back to tie the
game at 37 by the end of the period. Each side tallied 12 points in the fourth period and the teams
headed into overtime tied at 49.
Piketon made 4-of-9 free throws to take a 53-51
lead in the extra session, but Thomas’ three-point
dagger gave the Blue and White the 54-53 triumph.
For the game, GAHS was 5-of-9 (55.6 percent)
from the free throw line, where PHS ﬁnished
11-of-18 (61.1 percent).
Logan Blouir led Gallia Academy with 16 points
on six ﬁeld goals, including one three-pointer, to
go with three free throws. Thomas made a teambest three three-pointers on his way to 11 points,
while Damon Cremeans and Ben Cox scored eight
points each. Rounding out the Blue Devil total
were Isaac Clary with six points and Justin Wilxonen with ﬁve.
For the Red Streaks, Chris Chandler led all-scorers with 23 points, including six from long range.
Tyree Harris and Kyden Potts scored nine points
apiece in the setback, Tre Sweyne chipped in with
seven points, while Levi Gullium scored ﬁve.
Next, GAHS will open Ohio Valley Conference
play on its home court against Coal Grove on Friday.

DALLAS, Texas —
Nothing unlucky about
this 13.
The Marshall football
team had 13 players
chosen to the 2019 AllConference USA football
teams, as selected by the
league’s 14 head coaches.
The Thundering Herd
— ﬁnishing the regular
season 8-4 overall and 6-2
in conference — had the
most ﬁrst team choices,
at eight, as well as the
most selections on the
ﬁrst and second teams
combined, at 11.
Marshall also claimed a
pair of individual awards,
with sophomore running
back Brenden Knox as
conference Most Valuable
Player, and senior kicker
Justin Rohrwasser as
Special Teams Player of
the Year.
Knox totaled 1,284
yards and 11 touchdowns
on 244 carries this fall,
while Rohrwasser was
17-of-20 on ﬁeld goal
attempts with a long of
53 for the season. Rohrwasser also made 33-of34 point after kicks and
had 29 touchbacks on
kickoffs.
Joining Knox on the
ﬁrst team offense was
senior lineman Levi
Brown, who was also on
ﬁrst team last season,
after being named to the
second team two years
ago.
Joining Rohrwasser
on the ﬁrst team special
