(AP) — The Salvation Army is hoping to turn a $10 gold piece dropped into one of its red collec- tion kettles into a larger sum with an auction that starts the bidding at $800. The 1880 coin was placed into a kettle at the Cynthiana Wal-Mart this month and went unno- ticed until a bank teller spotted it, John Hodge, chairman of the service unit of the Harrison County chapter of the Salvation Army, told the Lexington Herald- Leader. Hodge says he thinks the coin wasn't given by mistake but deliberately donated by someone who doesn't want to be identified. Similar stories have been reported in Kansas, Maryland and Tennessee.

(AP) — Kentucky is preparing to release nearly 1,000 inmates early as part an overhaul of the corrections department that state lawmakers passed earli- er this year. Inmates who are within six months of being released will be let go on Jan. 3 and put under supervision by the Probation and Parole Department. Justice Cabinet Secretary J. Michael Brown told The Courier- Journal that the program helps inmates find jobs and housing after leav- ing prison, in an attempt to reduce recidivism (http://cjky.it/rwbaWZ). It also will trim the Department of Corrections budget by about $40 million next year. They were "going from the most super- vised place they could be in to basically open- ing the door and saying: 'Good luck,' " Brown said. "Some would suc- ceed on their own ... but we know that many won't succeed because they have no transition." There will be 996 inmates released next month, but Brown said he expects about 3,000 to be released under the program throughout 2012. Most of the inmates were convicted of Class D felonies, which are the lowest level and include robbery, burglary and some drug offenses. Several inmates are not eligible for the pro- gram, including those convicted of Class A felonies, which is the highest level, and those considered maximum security prisoners. The state has hired about 90 new workers in probation and parole to accommodate the increased number of inmates going into supervision. "We delayed the implementation of this particular piece long enough to have the infrastructure in place," Brown said. Karyn Hascal with The Healing Place, a nonprofit agency that operates a center to help inmates who have been released, said it is important to have transi- tion services to help people adjust to life out- side prison. "There are huge hur- dles," Hascal said. "Our goal is to help people have a healthy, drug- and alcohol-free place to live," she said. In addition, she said staff at The Brady Center can help released inmates come up with a plan to find employment and live independently. Homecoming: Mountain Warriors back in Bell County ANTHONY CLOUD Staff Writer MIDDLESBORO — Friends and family crowded in front of Binghamtown Baptist Church in anticipation to see their loved ones for the first time in seven months. Then the sound of sirens rang through the air as the Middlesboro police and fire department escorted the troops to the church. American flags held by family and friends waved through the air as troops made their way off the charter bus. The 149th National Guard unit, nicknamed “The Mountain Warriors”, had finally returned home. It was the first time the troops has seen their families since they deployed on June 4. The group served for seven months and 12 days. The ultimate mission of the 149th unit was to turn Iraq back over to the Iraqi soldiers. They escorted supply convoys across Iraq and returned around 80 million dollars worth of equipment after crossing the Kuwait bor- der, losing no soldier in the process. All of the bases were shut down and turned over to the Iraqis at the end of service. After arriving, the sol- diers made their way into the church with their family and friends. Mayor Bill Kelley spoke briefly to the soldiers, and welcomed them back home. “These men are heroes,” stated Kelley as he stood in front of the troops.

'Barefoot Bandit'gets more than 7years for spree

COUPEVILLE, Wash. (AP) — Theyouthful thief who rocketed to interna-tional notoriety as the "Barefoot Bandit"while he evaded police in pilfered cars,boats and planes during a two-year crimespree was sentenced Friday to more thanseven years in a Washington state prisonafter pleading guilty to dozens ofcharges.

Colton Harris-Moore, now 20,showed no reaction as the sentence wasdelivered by a judge who took pity on hisbleak upbringing at the hands of an alco-holic mother and a series of her convictboyfriends — a situation she described asa "mind-numbing absence of hope."

"This case is a tragedy in many ways,but it's a triumph of the human spirit inother ways," Island County Judge VickieChurchill said. "I could have been read-ing about the history of a mass murderer.I could have been reading about a drugabusive, alcoholic young man. That is thetriumph of Colton Harris-Moore: He hassurvived."

Harris-Moore's daring run from thelaw earned him international fame and amovie deal to help repay his victims afterhe flew a stolen plane from Indiana to theBahamas in July 2010, crash-landed itnear a mangrove swamp and was arrest-ed by Bahamian authorities in a hail ofbullets.

Friday's proceedings consolidated

cases against Harris-Moore in threeWashington counties. He has alreadypleaded guilty to federal charges inSeattle and will be sentenced for thosecrimes early next year, but the sentence isexpected to be shorter than his state term.

Harris-Moore faced a sentencingrange of just over seven years to justunder 10 years.

"Colton's very pleased," said his attor-ney John Henry Browne. "He wasexpecting the worst."

Wearing handcuffs and an orange jailuniform, Colton Harris-Moore spokesoftly in court while entering his pleas.

In a statement provided to the judge,he said his childhood was one he would-n't wish on his "darkest enemies."

Still, he said he takes responsibility forthe crime spree that brought him interna-tional notoriety, and said he learned onlytoo late of the fear he was instilling in hisvictims.

Harris-Moore said he studied manualsand online videos to teach himself to be apilot, and the thrills he experienced whileflying stolen planes renewed his passionfor life and will help him rehabilitatewhile in prison.

"The euphoria of the countdown totakeoff and the realization of a dream wasnearly blinding," he wrote of his firstillicit flight on Nov. 11, 2008. "My firstthought after takeoff was 'Oh my God,I'm flying.' I had waited my entire life forthat moment."

He said he'll use his prison time tostudy and get ready to apply to college,with the hope of earning an aeronauticalengineering degree.

Kobe Bryant's wife filesfor divorce

SANTAANA, Calif. (AP) — Kobe Bryant's wife,Vanessa, filed for divorce on Friday from the LosAngeles Lakers star, citing irreconcilable differ-ences as the reason for the split.

Vanessa Bryant filed papers in Orange CountySuperior Court in Santa Ana.

A representative for the couple released a state-ment saying, "The Bryants have resolved all issuesincident to their divorce privately with the assistanceof counsel and a Judgment dissolving their maritalstatus will be entered in 2012."

The couple have been married for 10? years andhave two daughters, ages 8 and 5.

In the statement, the Bryants "ask that in the inter-est of our young children and in light of the upcom-ing holiday season the public respect our privacyduring this difficult time."Barry Bonds gets 30-dayhome sentence, at worst

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Eight years of beinginvestigated for steroid allegations ended for homerun king Barry Bonds on Friday with a 30-day sen-tence to be served at home. No more — and maybeless.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston immediatelydelayed imposing the sentence while Bonds appealshis obstruction of justice conviction. The formerbaseball star was found guilty in April not of usingsteroids, but of misleading grand jurors.

Even without prison time, the case has left itsmark on the seven-time National League MVP. His762 career home runs, and 73 homers in 2001, mayforever be seen as tainted records, and his ticket tobaseball's Hall of Fame is in doubt.

Bonds declined to speak in court. Well-wishershugged the 47-year-old in the hallway courtroomafter the hearing was over, and a smattering of fanscheered him as he left the courthouse. It was amarked departure from his initial court appearance

four years ago, when guards had to clear a path forBonds to get through dozens of onlookers to hisSUV.

"Whatever he did or didn't do, we all lie," saidEsther Picazo, a fan outside the courthouse. "We allmake mistakes. But I don't think he should've gottenany kind of punishment at all."

Bonds was sentenced to two years of probation,250 hours of community service, a $4,000 fine and30 days of home confinement. It will take time todetermine whether he serves any of it; his appellatespecialist, Dennis Riordan, estimated it would takenearly a year and a half for the 9th U.S. CircuitCourt of Appeals to rule.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Parrella calledthe sentence a "slap on the wrist" and the fine"almost laughable" for a superstar athlete who mademore than $192 million for playing baseball.

Parrella had sought 15 months in prison andargued that home confinement wasn't punishmentenough "for a man with a 15,000-square-foot housewith all the advantages." Bonds lives in a six-bed-room, 10-bath house with a gym and swimmingpool.

"The defendant basically lived a double life fordecades before this," Parrella said. He ripped Bondsnot only over performance-enhancing drugs but overhis personal life: "He had mistresses throughout hismarriages."

Parrella said Bonds made lots of money due inpart to his use of performance enhancers and that hehas been "unrepentant" and "unapologetic" about it.

Illston said none of that had any bearing onBonds' sentencing.

She said she agreed with a probation departmentreport that called Bonds' conviction an "aberration"in his life. She said she received dozens of letters insupport of Bonds, some discussing how he has givenmoney and time "for decades" to charitable causes.

Bonds is the last — and highest-profile — defen-dant in the government's investigation of the BayArea Laboratory Co-Operative, or BALCO, asteroids distribution ring. The ex-slugger has longdenied knowingly using performance-enhancing

drugs.Illston said she was compelled to give Bonds a

sentence similar to the two she meted out to otherfigures convicted after trial of lying to the grand juryand federal investigators about their connection tosteroids.

The case against Bonds after he testified beforethe grand jury Dec. 3, 2003. Prosecutors revised hisoriginal 2007 indictment several times and spent ayear unsuccessfully appealing a key evidentiary rul-ing before jurors deadlocked in April on three of thefour remaining charges related to his grand jury tes-timony.

On the final charge, the trial jury convicted Bondsof purposely answering questions about steroidswith rambling non sequiturs in an attempt to misleadthe grand jury.

“I think he probably got off a little easy," saidJessica Wolfram, one of the jurors who convictedBonds of obstruction. "He was just so clearly guilty,so I actually am happy he got sentenced to some-thing."

Wolfram said she researched the case after thetrial and viewed evidence not presented then. Afterthat, she felt even more comfortable that Bonds wasguilty.

Besides Bonds, 10 people were convicted of var-ious charges in BALCO cases. Six of them, includ-ing track star Marion Jones, were ensnared for lyingto grand jurors, federal investigators or the court.Others, including Bonds' personal trainer GregAnderson, pleaded guilty to steroid distributioncharges.

The government's top BALCO investigator, JeffNovitzky, declined to comment outside the court-room after attending the hearing.

Bonds was one of two former baseball superstarsto stand trial in doping-related cases this year. Thetrial of pitcher Roger Clemens was halted after justtwo days in July because prosecutors used inadmis-sible evidence. U.S. District Judge Reggie Waltonhas set a new trial for April 17.

Both men will face a different judgment day in2013, when they'll be eligible for the Hall of Fame.

Thought for Today: "A life ofleisure and a life of laziness are twothings." — "Poor Richard'sAlmanack."

The kinds of ideologues who arebuffoonishly trapped in irra-tional narcissism threaten both

the right and the left. It does not mat-ter if one is Donald Trump, a conser-vative elephant, or Cornel West, a don-key and a so-called academic quiteready to spout "progressive" cliches.

In fact, each believesthat President BarackObama proves howout of touch he is bynot calling one ofthem for badly neededadvice.

It looks like everyRepublican runningfor the presidentialnomination except forRick Santorum andNewt Gingrich hasrefused to appear in aTr u m p - s p o n s o r e ddebate later thismonth. Even if theyneed the votes, theymust not be that par-

ticularly desperate. They must, afterall, know what it will look like to havea political discussion that resembles aMarx Brothers routine.

Then there is the other side. At therecent gala for The Nation magazine,

West was lightly defended by some,but many dismissed him for attackingthe president in a way that could helpright-wing extremists opposed to thethoughtful use of compromise at theserious center of American politics.

Jesse Jackson, for instance, pointedout that only 500,000 votes tookRichard Nixon into the White House.Saying that number seemed to dry hismouth. The veteran civil-rights leadersaid that narrow margin took placebecause the anti-war movement andthe black protests against the electionboth smeared Hubert Humphrey fatal-ly. They convincingly disgruntled oth-ers and encouraged the disappointed tosit that one out.

This position opened the door forNixon, whose effect on politics wasenormous. Redneck Democrats real-ized that they could becomeRepublicans and thus get respect fortheir racism.

At the same time, serious and disen-chanted left-wingers began to callthemselves "progressives" after theterm "liberal" was poisonously dis-missed by President Ronald Reagan.As buffoons like West and TavisSmiley prove, however, there are stillenough pies in the sky to satisfy theirtaste.

Washington Post columnistJonathan Capehart observed on televi-sion recently that Smiley is fundamen-tally upset because he has received nophone requests for advice from thepresident, which is why he is againsthim. Self-importance has no bounds.

West is a different case. He is solost that it is impossible for him toeven question a high-profile union likethe United Federation of Teachers,which is more responsible for the trou-blingly low quality of our publicschools than any other entity, primari-ly because it has stood behind all ofthe teachers who perform poorly andare transferred from one minorityschool to another, failing their studentsat every stop.

This is about to happen againbecause West will join a protestagainst the closing of schools foundinadequate by everything other thanthe union and its shills. "We're notgoing to allow this to happen," he saidlast week upon discovering that twoHarlem schools would be closed fortheir poor performance -- FrederickDouglass Academy II and theWadleigh Secondary School for thePerforming and Visual Arts.

Meanwhile, the Harlem SuccessAcademy charter schools run by Eva

Moskowitz are highfliers, where mostkids are not only passing tests, butacing them. The key to these schools'success is not ideological fealty butsimply hard work on the part of theeducators and the kids themselves,who transcend every stereotype ofurban youth. It is also true that thecommunity itself is well aware of howgood a job is done by the SuccessAcademy, or by the Harlem educationsuccess in the public schools offeredthrough HEAF under the direction ofDanielle Moss Lee.

We are at our best when we tune outthe loud, broad comedy of both the teaparty and the progressive buffoons,allowing, instead, the true spirit ofAmerica to come through. And thoughthe extremes only get louder and loud-er, viler and viler, I am confident thatwe will make it through, because weare still the United States of America.It takes longer than it should, but wealmost always grow up and handle ourproblems as intelligent adults arecapable of doing. That is truly our lastbest hope.Stanley Crouch can be reached by email [email protected].

Don’t be scammed!It seems like every day you hear of a new scheme to con unsuspecting people. Many times the elderly fall victim to these scams and sometimes lose their life-savings.One way to help avoid falling prey to this type of crime is by never giving out personal information over the phone or the internet. If someone makes you an offer that sounds too good to be true – it probably is. Before you agree to anything over the phone, always ask for information in writing.

Public service message courtesy of

HollyDecorating with Holly branches is just one of

many Christmas traditions that come fromthe forest. Its green foliage and bright red

berries stand out in a bleak winter landscape, whichhas attracted mankind to it for centuries.

Long ago Druids (tree worshippers) believed theHolly remained green during winter so the worldwould retain a remnant of beauty during the bleakwinter so summer would return. They often wore

sprigs of Holly in their hair duringcelebrations, and would bringbranches into their homes to woodspirits a refuge from the frigid winter.Holly was said to repel poison, light-ening, and witchcraft.

Early Christians decorated theirhomes and churches with Holly atChristmas time. They called it “holytree”. The pointed leaves resembledthe crown of thorns that Jesus worewhen he was crucified. And the redberries symbolized the drops ofblood he shed. Because the Hollyhad come to stand for peace and joy,people often settled quarrels beneathone. A sprig of Holly on the bedpostwas supposed to bring happy dreams.

Holly makes a great addition to thehome landscape, and there are many

varieties available from nurseries. Keep in mind thata Holly will have either male flowers only or female.In science lingo the Holly is dioecious (Greek,meaning “two houses”). Most trees like oaks andsuch are monecious and have flowers with bothsexes present on the same tree. In simpler terms youhave boy Hollies and girl Hollies, and only the girlswill have berries. So in order to have berries youneed to plant both sexes. Female trees are availablethat have a male Holly branch grafted onto them sothat the female flowers are pollinated and produceberries. Ask your nursery dude about it.

Holly is an easy to grow tree. About the onlyrestriction is that it needs a well drained soil. It istolerant of shade and under good conditions shouldgrow at a fair pace. Birds, especially CedarWaxwings, will enjoy the fruit, and you will have aready source of Holly sprigs to bring in your houseduring Christmas and help keep those wood spiritswarm. Have a green Christmas.

The fourth spiritual work of mercy is to comfort the sorrowful. Unfortunately, the world is full ofpain and suffering, and we need not look far to find someone in need of comforting. Philosophershave often referred to this realm as a “veil of tears,” suggesting that sorrow is the essence of ourearthly existence. But surely, that goes too far. There is joy amongst the sadness, and great evilsoften give rise to incredible acts of mercy and forgiveness. Life is a mixed bag, some good andsome bad, and what gives our lives meaning is the ability to improve the balance of good over bad.Sometimes, this involves increasing the happiness of others and at other times it means decreasingtheir pain. Comforting the sorrowful may be as simple as sending a sympathy card to someone whohas lost a loved one, or it may be as complicated as rescuing someone who is suicidal. Often, theother person just needs someone to be with and listen to them. We should not feel compelled togive them advice nor should we presume that we understand what they are going through. Moreappropriately, we should just let them know that we truly care about them and are there to listenand help. We may wish to consider suggesting or even arranging professional help for the personsuffering. Most people who are deeply suffering would benefit from professional counseling of somekind, whether it is with their pastor, their doctor, or a psychotherapist. Finally, although we shouldnot assume that we can do the work of a trained professional, we should try to be there for themin their hour of need.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.R.S.V. Matthew 5:4

C.S. Lewis observedthat something of gen-uine beauty produces inus joy, joy born from tworeactions. First, Lewissaid, we stop. If it is awork of art, a symphony,a striking human being,or a sunset on the beach;a thing of beauty arrestsus, stops us in our tracksto look and observe, therest of the world fallingaway.

And second, we mustthen share what we haveexperienced with others.We simply cannot con-tain ourselves. “Listen towhat I am hearing!Come see what I see! Youhave to experience thiswith me!” Stop andshare, Lewis said, arethe products of completejoy.

For those of us whoare parents, we knowthis sensation well. Wecannot forget holding ournewly born children forthe first time. The world

around us disappeared.We were stunnedmotionless by a holysilence, a silence brokenonly by the sharing ofjoyful phone calls towaiting friends and fam-ily.

If you have ever beenin love — passionate,blissful, absurd, fanati-cal love — then youknow what it is like forlife to stop otherwise.New love is more thanbutterflies in the belly, itis absorption in anotherperson, so much so thatnothing else matters —except for telling othersabout the one you love.

I can remember stand-ing at Beluga Point out-side Anchorage, Alaska.The whales were break-

ing the white-cappedwaves, the lush greenmountains stood in thebackground, and thecreaking of melting gla-ciers filled the air. I wasstunned silent. Themajesty of that momentstopped time, but whentime resumed I wantedto tell everyone what Ihad experienced!

I have stood at the rimof the Grand Canyon,flown over the GrandTetons, climbed the vol-canoes of CentralAmerica, watched lifeemerge into the world,gazed into the eyes of thewoman who loves me,witnessed my grand-mother pull fresh bis-cuits from a wood stove:In each case I can’t tellyou much about whatwas going in the worldaround me. I can onlyshare with you the purejoy that ruptured myheart at those moments,and tell you I will, if you

will let me.This is exactly Lewis’

point. We find joy inwhat we see, hear, orexperience and then wemust share it with oth-ers. I wonder if this iswhat the shepherdsexperienced on that firstChristmas. It was anight that began justlike so many othernights before. The shep-herds huddled together,shivering beneath thetwinkling stars, as thefrost fell heavy on theground and on the top-sides of the stupid sheepthey were guarding.

It was just anothernight of low-class, no-class work, scraping outa living while dreamingof warm food and a warmbed. The only things thatkept them awake werethe worries on theirminds: Lurking preda-tors in the night, lurkingbill collectors on theirdoorsteps, a sick child

back at home, an emptypot over the family fire.There was so much withwhich to be troubled.

Then, it happened. Anangelic chorus eruptedfrom the sky or fromheaven, from some-where, and sang of theChrist-Child born inBethlehem. The shep-herds quaked and shookwith fear, stunned with asilence as still as death.But it was a silence thatmight as well have beenshouting when comparedto the holiness of kneel-ing in the barn where thebeautiful newborn babylay.

As they tiptoed awayfrom the manger, theycould no longer containtheir joy. “They spreadthe word concerningwhat had been told themabout this child, and allwho heard it wereamazed.” And theyreturned to the low-class, no-class work of

guarding stupid sheepunder the cold stars.

They still had theirtroubles. They were stillpoor, hungry, and tired.They still had four andtwo-legged predatorswith which to deal, butjoy had found a place intheir hearts, joyunspeakable and full ofGod’s glory. They could-n’t be quiet about it, andneither can we.

The First ChristmasCarols Luke 1:

(Let's take a coupleweeks off from our studyof Hosea to celebrateJesus' birth.)

One of the uniqueaspects of the celebrationof Christmas is the abun-dance of songs, or carols,that accompany the sea-son. No other holiday com-pares in sheer volumeand variety. As well, noother holiday starts itsfestivities as early as thisone. Stores start decorat-ing in October and manyradio stations, on theFriday afterThanksgiving, playing thesongs of the season. Musicis a powerful thing. Itmoves us, lifts our spirits,stirs our memories, andno music seems to do itbetter than Christmascarols. They take us backto younger days when wecouldn't wait forChristmas morning. ToChristmas pageant whenbathrobes and with towelsturbans made a child intoa shepherd and a glittercovered cardboard star litthe manger for the comingthree kings. Carols movesome to think quietthoughts and others tofestive laughter. The car-ols are powerful.

There is a story of oneChristmas Eve during theFirst World War. A shaky,unofficial cease fire waspunctuated as the soundof "Silent Night" driftedacross the battlefield. TheAmerican troops did notrecognize the words butknew the tune and soonjoined in. The next day thetroops came out of theirtrenches, not to fight butto celebrate ChristmasDay together. Food anddrinks, stories of homeand pictures of familyfilled the day. There waseven a soccer game whichtradition recalls theAmericans won. On Dec.26, the men returned towar. The power of thesong.

But we know it was notthe power of the music butthe story of the carol thatmoved the men that day.The story of peace onearth. Here's the point fortelling that story and thereminiscing on carols.Carols are nothing new tothe Christian celebrationof the incarnation of JesusChrist. Since there hasbeen a Christmas season,the original one whichprobably didn't take placein December, there have

been songs caroling thecoming of Christ. As amatter of fact, the songswe hold so dear pale incomparison to those origi-nal songs recorded inLuke's account of the firstNoel. These were songsnot written by a man look-ing back but by God asHis plan of redemptionwas moving forward. Thesongs are found in Luke 1.Find a quiet place andtake a few uninterruptedmoments to read the sto-ries leading up the birth ofJesus. As you do look atthe people who sang songsabout the coming of theMessiah.

The first song ofChristmas is found inLuke 1:46. It was sung byMary, Jesus' mother, inresponse to her cousinElizabeth's proclamationthat Mary was blessed byGod to carry in her wombthe Christ. To this Marysang out, "My soul glori-fies the Lord and my spir-it rejoices in God mySavior" (1:46). Mary'swords are full and clearlydisplay her devotion toGod. When she said hersoul and spirit celebratedGod she was saying allthat she was praised allthat God both did and wasdoing. She also acknowl-edged her greatest need,her need of a savior.

As a Jewess, Marywould have been quiteaware of the promise thatsomeday God would sendone who would save Hispeople from that whichthey could not save them-selves. For hundreds ofyears the people had wait-ed. Now the time hadcome and Mary thrilled atthe thought of God'sgreatness (v.49), mercy(v.50), and love in action(vs.51-54). As these wordsflooded from her heart,let's be reminded of herearlier words which showher response to all thatGod was doing and woulddo, "I am the Lord's ser-vant, may it be done to meas you have said (Luke1:38).

Three months lateranother carol was writtenby Elizabeth's husband,Zechariah. It came in

response to the birth of hisonly son we know as Johnthe Baptist. Like Mary,Zechariah began withpraise, "Praise to theLord, the God of Israel,because He has come andhas redeemed His people."(v.68).

Next, Zechariah alsopraised God for what Hewas doing, "He has raisedup the horn of salvation"(v.69). There are twonotable points in hisexclamation. First, heacknowledged God'spower. The horn (like thehorn of a bull) was anancient symbol of God'spower dating back intothe early Old Testamentperiod. It was a sign ofstrength and ability. Inthis Zechariah wasreminding us that whatGod was about to do onlyHe had the power to do.And what was God doing?The singer proclaimedGod's power to save. God'ssalvation would rescuepeople from the enemy(vs.71 and 74) and make itpossible for people to walkwith and serve God (vs.74-75).

Zechariah also remind-ed all who would hear hissong, that God was doingthis out of His mercy(v.72). Salvation was notoffered and is not offeredbased on humanities'demand but rather onGod's kindness and will-ingness to reach down tosinful man with the offerof forgiveness andredemption. This was nota new or innovative ideafor God had already madethis known centuriesbefore through Hisprophets (v.70).

Like Mary, Zechariahresponded to God's activi-ty. He gave God his sonJohn to be used by God toprepare the way forMessiah (vs.76-79).Zechariah gave to Godthat which was most pre-cious to him.

Carol's, they are morethe sentiment they arethe stories of our faith.May we, like the first car-olers, praise God this sea-son and see the true rea-son for Christmas, Godbringing to the world sal-vation through His Son.And may we, like thosefirst carolers, give to Godthat which is most valu-able, may we give Himour lives.

Why do we have tosuffer? Wouldn’t it bejust as meaningful interms of your faith if youhad lived a life of con-tentment, devoid of suf-fering, so that therewould be so much moreroom for joy? Think ofall the wasted timespent in suffering. Therewas that financial prob-lem you had last year.There were days andweeks on end when youneeded to focus on solv-ing the problems. Thosedays you were sick justmade it worse. On theface of it it would seemthat suffering is a veryinefficient way of get-ting things done from adivine perspective any-way.

Arthur Gordonrelates his story of beingstricken with polio atage three, so his povertystricken parents aban-don him at a New YorkCity hospital. Taken inby a foster family, andmoved to Georgia. Therehe met Maum Jean, anelderly black womanwho took that frail, lost,lonely little boy into herheart. For six years, shedaily massaged hisweak legs; administer-ing her own hydrothera-py in a nearby creek;and encouraged himspiritually with her sto-ries, songs, and prayers.

Gordon writes, “Nightafter night Maum Jeancontinued the messag-ing and praying. Thenone morning, when Iwas about twelve, shetold me she had a sur-prise for me. She led meout into the yard, placedme with my backagainst an oak tree; Ican feel the rough barkof it to this day. She tookaway my crutches andbraces. She moved backa dozen paces and toldme that the Lord hadspoken to her in adream. He had said thatthe time had come for

me to walk. ‘So now,’said Maum Jean, ‘I wantyou to walk over to me.’

My instant reactionwas fear. I knew I could-n’t walk unaided. I hadtried. I shrank backagainst the solid sup-port of the tree. MaumJean continued to urgeme. I burst into tears. Ibegged. Her voice rosesuddenly, ‘You can walk,boy! The Lord has spo-ken! Now walk overhere.’ Somehow,impelled by somethingstronger than fear, Itook a faltering step,and another, and anoth-er, until I reachedMaum Jean and fell intoher arms, both of usweeping. It was twomore years before Icould walk normally,but I never used thecrutches again.” (ArthurGordon, A Touch ofWonder)

What joy Gordonmust have experiencedwhen he finally reachedthe loving arms of hisMaum Jean.Undoubtedly the painfrom his withered limbsmust have been excruci-ating with every stepthat he took. Yet, a kindof joy he had never expe-rienced before waited forhim at the end of thatwalk. Through the painhe had achieved a peacethat he had longed forbut never been able toachieve.

Why do we suffer?One good reason we dois because God alwayshas something far morejoyful in mind for usthan we can imagine

(see Romans 8:28). And,because we can’t, we areliable to stand with ourbacks against the com-forting walls of our liveswithout the least ambi-tion to find that joy. Andso, God beckons us inpain, in suffering, inhardship and sorrow towalk to Him all thewhile urging us on withHis gentle yet com-pelling command, “Youcan walk, boy! You canwalk!”

Right before hisarrest and crucifixion,Jesus tells his disciplesthese words, “A womangiving birth to a childhas pain because hertime has come; but whenher baby is born she for-gets the anguishbecause of her joy that achild is born into theworld” (John 16:21). Thedisciples would knowsorrow for a time too,but soon they wouldknow the indescribablejoy of the resurrection.Which do you think Godis more concerned with,our comfort or ourgrowth? Which are youmore concerned with?Can you remember atime that you struggledthrough a crisis, andthen experienced the joyof victory when the cri-sis was resolved? Tellsomeone about thatexperience, and maybethey will have a similarstory of victory to sharewith you. Are you goingthrough a difficult timeduring this Christmasseason? In what waysmight God be stretchingyou to become a strongerperson? I hope you willseek a closer relation-ship with God to helpyou in all of life’s jour-neys as you celebratethe birthday of theSavior of the world.

No. 3 Cats eager to get back on courtBY COLIN FLYAP Sports Writer

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) —Kentucky coach John Caliparishredded a letter he recentlyreceived at his home that did notinclude a return address.

If he or his third-ranked Wildcatsare being criticized for their effortsdown the stretch of their first loss atIndiana last Saturday, the coachinsists he’s unaware.

“I’m not that connected. Just soyou know, I’ve hired somebody todo the Twitter and there’s somebodyhired to do the Facebook. I’ll givethem things that I want out there,but the reality of it is I don’t ever getanything back,” Calipari saidFriday. “Somebody sent a piece ofmail to my house that didn’t have areturn address or anything on it, so itgot torn up. It never was opened.So, I don’t answer any mail thatdoesn’t have a return address with aname on it. We can’t get into that.The biggest thing right now for thisteam is we are so young.”

And eager.F r e s h m a nAnthony Daviswished he hadanother game toplay as soon as

Indiana knocked Kentucky fromthe ranks of the unbeaten in a 73-72thriller on Saturday that also costthe Wildcats the top spot in the poll.

“Any time you lose you justwant to go out there and play againjust to get that win,” Davis said.“Unfortunately we don’t play againuntil (Saturday) and we had thewhole week off, so we had lots ofpractice, we practiced every day,went hard.”

Kentucky (8-1) had problemswith perimeter defense, turnoversand free-throw shooting againstIndiana and only got four pointsfrom star Terrence Jones. TheWildcats missed two free throws lateand failed to run the correct defen-sive scheme in the closing seconds.Even against all that, Kentucky heldthe lead with 5.6 seconds left beforeChristian Watford’s game-winning 3.

“The way we lost really hurt,”Davis said. “We’re upset that welost that way and the fact that welost. A lot of guys have been, beforepractice and after practice, puttingin extra work.”

The Wildcats must learn to lis-ten, too.

Calipari said each time he feelshis message isn’t getting through,he recalls his instructions to hisplayers from the final timeoutagainst Indiana. Kentucky didn’tpick up the defense at the rightposition on the court, didn’t fouland then didn’t close out quicklyenough on Watford.

“Every time they don’t listen in adrill or what I’m saying, I stop prac-tice and I say, ‘5.6 seconds left andthere’s a timeout. We’re going topick up three-quarter court andwhen they get near halfcourt we’regoing to foul. Do you hear me?’”Calipari said. “Every time theydon’t listen, I bring that up just tomake a point of, ‘You’re not listen-ing to me.’”

Adkins hit a pair offree throws for Claibornewhile Claiborne got threefrom Trevor Graves andone from Ben Arnold tomake the final 51-35.

Clawson said winninghis first game at Claibornemeans a lot.

“It goes back to myyears of being at PowellValley in the early 90s andplaying Tazewell.Everybody looked at it asthat was the game. Youthrow records out, it does-n’t matter if we’re 0-10and they’re 10-0. Youknow when you come tothis game everybody isready to play,” he said.“It’s about pride and whowants it more. They want-ed it, we wanted it and wejust executed a little bitbetter at the end. It’s apride game.”

From the start theBulldogs were focused onkeeping Ben Arnold incheck. Using a chaser,they held him to just a pairof free throws in the firsthalf.

Graves picked up thescoring slack early as hehit a pair of 3s and scorednine first quarter points.

Claiborne got fourpoints each from Busselland Adkins, but Panthersled 15-10 after one.

The Bulldogs cameback to tie the game byhalftime as Pruette gotgoing with nine secondquarter points and Neelyadded a 3-pointer.

“The first half theytook Ben Arnold com-pletely out of our offense,we stood a lot, we madetoo many turnovers,”Clawson said. “Theyplayed a diamond-and-one on Ben and kept a guyon him the whole time.Don Harville does an

great job with those kidsand they fought hard inthe first half. We knew itwas going to be tough.”

The Panthers heldClaiborne to just threemade field goals in thesecond half as they pulledaway for the win.

Hatmaker scored nineof his 15 points in the sec-ond half, while Graves putup nine of his 15 in thefirst half to lead theCumberland Gap offense.Arnold finished with eightpoints.

Pruette led theBulldogs with 14 pointswhile Adkins finishedwith nine.

Today’s Answers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Dec. 17, 2011:

This year you open up to many dif-ferent options professionally. On some level, this stretch could carry some discomfort at first. Complete issues and situations before jumping into any new ones. You could be a bit self-indulgent. If this issue is key, try to use a little more self-discipline. If you are single, someone could be drawn to your image more than to the real you. Be aware of what motivates others. If you are attached, the two of you could launch your own business. VIRGO can be judgmental.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel as if you

are left holding the bag. How much are you setting yourself up? Evaluate this issue as you try to move past an emotional matter. Be caring, and you’ll gain greater results. Tonight: Could go quite late.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Get into weekend

mode. You could be delighted by what comes up for you if you relax. A romance could feel a bit awkward in the morning. By the afternoon, whether chatting over a meal or shop-ping playing Santa’s elves together, you feel connected. Tonight: Add that extra touch.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Stay close to home.

You might decide at the last minute to throw a tree-decorating party. Whatever you do, keep your priorities in mind. Check in with an older relative or friend. Invite this person to join in some holiday fun. Tonight: Add some Christmas music or go caroling.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be the one who

hangs the mistletoe, not dreaming you could be caught smooching under it. Someone you care about might be acting like Scrooge this year. Your call helps this person lighten up. Tonight: Share eggnog with friends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You offer much more than

you are aware of. Just because some-one is strutting his or her stuff like you is no reason to become insecure. A caring gesture toward a key person melts barriers. Listen to news openly. Tonight: Run some holiday errands.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be over-

whelming to someone you live with or within your family. You might find it hard to imagine that this person is so vulnerable. Make an effort to reveal more of your gentleness. Tonight: A simple gift expressing your affection could mean more than a big present.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take your time, especially in

the a.m. You could have a tendency to take others’ statements personally. They could sense an attitude from you. Let go and relax a little more. You also might need to be less defen-sive. Tonight: Quiet works.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Get together with friends

and/or family for a fun few days. You cannot believe how others also seem to be in the mood for holiday fun. A female friend or loved one appreciates your invitation. Many more people could be alone during the holidays than you think. Tonight: Where the action is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to rethink

a decision involving a respected family member, or maybe a boss. Being just a little more understanding and less judgmental might help. You have your own perspective about how different situations should look. Tonight: Doing what you must, or should.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Try to break free from

the traditional roles you often lock yourself into. Perhaps you long to approach a situation differently. Why not? You will never know what could happen until you take another path. Good vibes come from someone at a distance. Tonight: Let your spirit soar. Great music counts.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen to the drum beats,

and you will be OK. Sometimes a part-ner or close friend might hesitate. Let it be known that you do want to know how he or she feels and where he or she is coming from. You could see a fast change of attitude. Tonight: Follow another’s lead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to defer

to a partner or friend one more time. Though there could be a clash between you and this person, is it all that important? Only you can answer that question. Accept another person’s very caring gift or thought as it is meant. Tonight: Just not alone.

“We’re 2-7, but we’vebeen in a lot of games. Ourshooting had just disap-peared until tonight,”Dunn said. “We wentdown to Oliver Springsand lost to Kingston 68-67,then beat Karns 82-71. Itwent downhill from therebecause of our shooting.Tonight it finally cameback and it was a goodtime for it.”

Cumberland Gap (2-7,1-3) is off until Dec. 29 &30 when they’ll play in theDiscount PharmacyClassic at Union County.

Dunn is hoping theLady Panthers can carrythe momentum throughthe Christmas holiday andthen keep getting betteronce district play contin-ues.

“We working hard for

the district and we want tobe improved by the timethe tournament gets here,”he said. “We’re a guard-oriented team and we haveto make shots to winbecause we really don’thave big girls that aregoing to dominate inside.We just have to keepshooting the ball well andthat’s hard to do night inand night out.”

Cumberland Gap’s Ashley Ridgeley (15) andClaiborne’s Serena Nickell go up for the open tipof Friday’s game.

But Davis said theyrecognize the pressureof playing at Kentucky.

“The target’s on ourback,” Davis said.“Everybody wants tobeat us. We’ve got tobe prepared for it.”

Jones didn’t speak toreporters because hewas taking a finalexam, but Calipari saidhis sophomore forwardwould be fine follow-ing a stat line thatincluded six turnoversand just one rebound in28 minutes.

“He knows. He can’tdo that again. He’s agood kid and he had abad game for whateverreason,” the coach said.“The crazy thing is, westill had our chances towin the game and wegot no breaks, none.”

They also failed tocapitalize on freethrows late. Kentuckywent 10 of 17 againstIndiana and is shooting67.8 percent for theseason, good for eighthin the 12-teamS o u t h e a s t e r nConference.

“We’re just missingthem,” Davis said.“(We’re) shooting themright, just basketballgods didn’t want themto go in.”

Against Kentucky’supcoming opponents,the Wildcats can easilyrely on their athleti-cism instead of divineintervention. TheWildcats hostChattanooga onSaturday followed bySamford, Loyola (Md.)and Lamar before anin-state showdownwith No. 4 Louisvilleon Dec. 31.

They’ll also get anew player in transfer

guard Twany Beckham,who spent his first yearand a half atMississippi State. The6-foot-5 junior willbolster the off-guardposition, but it’s notclear just how muchtime he might receivein a rotation that’srelied on four fresh-men, two sophomoresand senior DariusMiller.

Beckham said hebelieves he’s doneenough in practice towarrant a reserve role.

“I’m ready to go,man, it’s been a longtime coming,”Beckham said. “I thinkI have (earned someplaying time), but withcoach Cal, you neverknow. I come out everyday and play as hard asI can and hopefully Ican get some minuteson the court and helpmy team. “
