Police Chief, James Hambrick, wrote regard-ing the tragic events that have taken place in our country and the encour-agement our communi-

ty demonstrates during these times.

To the Mt. Juliet com-munity and our visitors,

"We are all devastat-ed by the tragic events across our nation, and words cannot begin to properly express how heavy our hearts are. These tragedies will have a lasting impact on so many families, children, friends, co-workers, and communities. There is never justification for tak-ing innocent lives, and our communities must come together during these mo-ments and unite so we can strengthen peace in our nation. Tomorrow, our community will come together to pray that com-

fort, peace, and unity will come to everyone impact-ed by such events.

Every member of the Mt. Juliet Police Depart-ment is blessed to serve such a supportive com-munity. They are the most dedicated law enforce-ment officers and staff that I know, and each of them work so hard to gain and maintain the commu-nity’s trust in treating ev-eryone with respect and the utmost dignity. Please pray for their safety as they put on their uniform, put their lives on the line, and make the sacrifices they do to keep us safe every day.

Our department is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from everyone, who are showing their support for law enforcement as a response to the awful, heartbreaking tragedy in Dallas. The support has been tremendous, and it continues to encourage the officers who selfless-ly protect Mt. Juliet every day. We are all very ap-preciative for the support and many acts of kind-ness. We are all honored to serve Mt. Juliet and its visitors.

Thank you for your overwhelming support and allowing us to serve you."■

He was a brilliant but humble lead-er and a key fi gure in the automotive aftermarket in-dustry, most recently serv-ing as CEO of BBB Indus-tries. He loved the Lord,

his family, beauty, and ef-fi ciency and lived a life of integrity and generosity.

A Memorial Service was held in his honor on Sat-urday, July 9th at Sellars Chapel in Mt. Juliet with Andrew Wharton offi ciat-ing. Interment followed at Mt. Juliet Memorial Gar-dens.

In lieu of fl owers, dona-tions can be made to The Joe Beretta Foundation, an organization dedicated to meeting practical needs of families dealing with ad-

vanced heart failure. www.thejoeberettafoundation.com

As human beings we’re all supposed to be good to one another. Life is short and can seem even short-er when a large part of it is spent stressing and com-plaining about the little things in life. I must admit the hectic daily stresses of life can make some days seem somewhat misera-ble and unbearable, but when you put things into perspective, you suddenly realize your day and life could be much different.

For example, think of all the terrible tragedies you’ve read or heard about just this week. Think of those suffering terrible

tragedies and medical ill-nesses, those in hospi-tals, nursing homes and Hospice home care. Trust me, they know fi rst hand what real life issues are and deal with them daily. Being stuck in traffi c or running out of milk aren’t life and death issues, but as humans we sometimes make bigger deals out of the smallest and most triv-ial things in life. Most of us catch ourselves every now and then making a big deal out of something small and correct ourselves. In a way, it’s like being coun-seled or corrected by our-selves without any verbal

or written action. It just happens naturally. Fortu-nately, we have situations in our lives that teach us lessons without hurting us. They are tools for our tool chest of life and living. They are the mental notes and experiences we place in our life experiences and lessons tool box for future refl ection and guidance.

As humans there are some things we do in our lifetime because of per-sonal gain, personal sat-isfaction or just because we have to. But the things we do for others because we yearn or want to al-ways seem to bring us

as humans the most joy. In other words, there are genuine things we do in our lives that make us feel better and teach us les-sons about life in a pos-itive way, all while being blessed in the process. We do it because it’s what we want to do and it’s the right thing to do.

There are life lesson op-portunities each and every day if we all just look and listen for what’s really im-portant. And that’s the les-sons of life. Spending time looking out for one anoth-er and being kinder to one another surely couldn’t hurt. I’ve always had a

hard time being mean to someone I love or some-one who was being nice to me. It’s a whole lot easier being nice and consider-ate when the process goes both ways.

So please be on the lookout for those positive life lessons. Be a leader not a follower and nice even when someone else is being mean or rude. The human heart has a tough enough job keeping blood fl owing to our bodies to harbor any hatred or ill will. Don’t add any more stress to your life than is necessary. Your family likes having you around ■

In the late fi fties and early sixties, there was a television show starring Robert Young and Jane Wyatt entitled Father Knows Best.

It was a show depicting an intact, nuclear family that espoused family val-ues we all appreciate.

I often refer to that title when encouraging us to trust our heavenly Father, as He truly knows best.

The Scriptures illumi-nate the blessings that are available to us if we can simply trust Him enough to obey Him. Deuteronomy 28:2 states ““…. all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, be-cause you obey the voice of the LORD your God.”

Jesus makes it person-al when He says that our obedience is evidence of our love for Him, as record-ed in John 14:15 – ““If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”

In the New Testament, the word for “obey” is to “hear under.” It is a pos-ture thing. If we can as-sume a posture of “under” or submitted to the Lord-ship of Christ, we can then “hear” what He says and in faith and trust, be obedient to His word.

This attitude of obedi-ence is preceded by four pre-suppositions at which we will now take a look.

The fi rst idea that we can pre-suppose is our title. If we are going to be

obedient servants of the Most High God, we must believe that He knows best.

Sometimes our actions indicate that we might love God, but we don’t think He is very smart...or as R.C. Sproul is quoted to have said, “Most Christians sa-lute the sovereignty of God but believe in the sover-eignty of man.”

If He made us, then He ought to know how we best function. He knows what is productive in our lives and what is destructive.

Sometimes we view God as a fuddy duddy who just doesn’t want us to have any fun. But we must un-derstand that all His direc-tions, including the limita-tions, are intended to bring

us to a place where we can be the most fruitful and happy. Father does know best.

A second thing we pre-suppose is that we don’t have all the answers.

My goodness, often we don’t have most of the an-swers. We do we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror and that skewed vision can cause us prob-lems if we do not recognize our limited view.

It is true that our heav-enly Father does have all the answers, even if He doesn’t share them all with us. We trust Him because He sees all and knows all. And He has our best inter-ests in mind.

We also recognize the

kingdom of God is not a democracy.

We have been trained in our western mindset that everyone has a vote and an equal one at that. In a kingdom, only the king has a vote. Gratefully, we serve a benevolent king who is characterized by righ-teousness, peace, and joy. We serve at His pleasure by loving Him enough to follow His instructions.

Lastly, we must settle on the truth that God re-ally is in charge. He does sit above the circle of the earth as the One in charge of the universe and the earth, and all its inhabi-tants. Proverbs says that God turns the heart of a king wherever He wishes.

It often does not look like God is in charge, but rest assured, He governs His kingdom well. And as we choose to follow and obey Him, it is comforting to know that Father Knows Best.■

The link to purchase tickets online is at the top of the website and is la-beled “TIX,” according to Wilson County Fair Board President, Hale Moss.

“We’re excited to offer online ticket sales,” Moss said. “It’s an additional way to make it easier for families and individuals to get their tickets for the largest and best fair in Tennessee.”

Presented by: Your Middle Tennessee Ford Dealers, ticket prices for the fair are $8 for adults and $6 for children (ages 6-12), while children 5 and under are admit-ted free. Season tickets, which are good for all nine days of the Fair, are $33.

The fair will open at 5 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 19,

and run through Satur-day, Aug. 27, at the James E. Ward Agricultural Cen-ter in Lebanon.

“We hope people will take advantage of this quick and easy way to purchase tickets this year,” Moss said, noting that the Fair offers some-thing for everyone.

“We have all of the old favorites returning, such as the concert se-ries Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights, Doodles the Clown, the Demolition Derby, the Great Give-Away and the Mighty Midway,” he add-

ed. “Because we’re an agricultural-based Fair, there will be the animal competitions and farming and horticultural compe-titions as well.

“We’re working hard to make the largest fair in the state of Tennessee the best one ever, and we hope you’ll join us, be-cause We Want YOU at the 2016 Wilson County Fair.”
