improvements, new school buildings, better public health facilities – these are just some of the infrastructure projects in the conceptual, planning or construction stage in Gibson County.
78 such projects are needed in Gibson Co. between the years 2008 and 2013, according to a recent report by the Tennessee Infrastructure Alliance (TIA).
Total cost of the county projects was estimated at $191,918,796, about $2.5 million per project on average, or $4,000 per person for the county’s population of 49,300 people.
As the 2011 new year begins, the TN Infrastructure Alliance (TIA) is calling attention to the importance for residents’ collective resolve to create and maintain adequate infrastructure in Tennessee, according to a press release.
TIA drew attention to the latest report from the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR) called “Building Tennessee’s Tomorrow:
The New Year is a time to reflect on the changes we want or need to make in our daily lives. Many view the New Year as a fresh start so they make commitments to achieve personal goals, make lifestyle changes or break a bad habit.
We all know about New Year’s resolution because we’ve all made them at one time or another. And most of us have broken them within days or weeks of January 1st.
Forty to 45 percent of American adults make one or more resolutions each year. Among the top New Years resolutions are about weight loss, exercise, and quitting smoking. Also popular are resolutions dealing with better money management and debt reduction.
According to Proactive Change the following shows how many of these resolutions are
maintained as time goes on: past the first week-75 percent, past two weeks-71 percent, after one month-64 percent, and after six months-46 percent.
While a lot of people who make new years resolutions do break them, research shows that making resolutions are useful. People who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don’t make resolutions.
The history of making New Year’s resolution began with the Babylonians approximately 4,000 years ago. The Babylonians New Year’s Day was March 23rd. March was a logical time period for the New Year because spring begins and crops are planted. The Romans celebrated the New Year on

BY STEVE SHORTLocal businesses in Gibson
Co. could get a promotional boost through a new marketing plan proposed by county leaders.
The message: “Shop Gibson County” is one of the top areas of focus in a new, 5-year plan for improving the economy in the county.
The six objective, strategic plan will be presented to the County Commission Jan. 10. The state 3-Star Program requires counties to have 5-year plans for growing the economy.
The “Shop Gibson County” program calls for a marketing plan with ads (“Did you know…?”) and facts about local businesses and services. Funds would be raised to support marketing.
A Mayor’s Alliance would develop a merchants’ alliance and define the involvement of local Chambers of Commerce.
Leaders of the “Shop Gibson County” objective are Chris Crider, Tony Burris, Bob White, Jason Griggs, and Gil Fletcher.
Other objectives in the county’s 5-Year Plan for economic development:

Top TCR stories of 2010
I can still remember the first USA TODAY newspaper I ever saw. I was off somewhere on a trip, and the hotel where I was staying provided one free of charge. Today we take it for granted, but when it first came out, 25 years ago, USA TODAY was absolutely eye popping.
Even back then, it had terrific color photographs, a vast improvement over other papers, most of which never did color, and even the ones that did, never seemed to print them correctly.
The format seemed revolutionary too. It was broken down into four broad category sections, “News”, “Money”, the business section, “Sports” and “Life”, which was devoted to stories reflecting popular culture. It even had a nugget of news from every state in the union in it, every day. I remember being amazed to read an account of the previous day’s election back home in Tennessee.
The articles were all short, which meant there was space for more of them, and like very many people, I was delighted with it.
My “real” newspaper friends didn’t think much of it however. They called it “McNewspaper” because of the short articles. One of them referred to it as “journalistic fast food.”
But apparently America didn’t agree, or if they did, “fast food” was what they craved, because while many of USA TODAY’s “real” competitors have fallen by the way over the last quarter century, or are breathing their last breaths, USA TODAY is still going strong. It is, as a matter of fact, the most widely circulated print newspaper in the country, and it is available everywhere.
How “good” a newspaper it is may still be debatable, but it is read by more people in America than any other paper, so when its editors surveyed their readers (5,869 of them, at any rate) about the important events in their lives over the last 25 years I was curious as to what this cross-section of America would have to say.
“What invention,” the paper asked its readers, “has changed your life, for the better, over the last 25 years?” Home computers (78%), the
Internet (77%), cell phones (64%), email (62%) and digital cameras (51%) led the way, but voice mail (33%), DVR (28%) and GPS devices (24%) were in the pack as well. Interestingly, I read an article last month in which the author speculated that seven of those eight of those electronic marvels would soon be phased out and packaged into one single unit, and that would be the cell phone. How about that?
Remember the first cell phones, how clunky they were, and how we made fun of people who used them in public. Showing off, we said. Now everybody uses them everywhere, for all sorts of things.
And the Internet? In the early days the joke was that the Internet enabled you to do the same amount of research on the Internet in an hour that it would have taken you at least ten minutes to do at a library.
But that was then. Now when people go to the library to look something up they usually do it at one of the computer terminals there with Internet access. Or maybe they just look it up on their phones in the parking lot.
To the question, “Which famous person’s passing in the last 25 years had the most profound affect on you?”, one out of three respondents named Princess Diana. Seventeen percent named John Kennedy, Jr., both of whom had near zero real accomplishments, of any kind, but who were attractive
and glamorous and frequently on the tabloid covers.
Ronald Reagan, Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II, at eleven, 9 and 8 percent, respectively, barely edged out Michael Jackson, who was named by 7 percent. Go figure.
Favorite song of the last quarter century? One in five named Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You.” Nearly as many picked Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On.” The only other song to break double digits was U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”
Favorite food trends of the last 25 years included blackened fish, tapas, gourmet coffee and cupcakes.
Funny, I could have sworn
cupcakes had been around longer than that.
No surprise regarding favorite books. The three top vote getters were Harry Potter, The Da Vinci Code and The Bridges of Madison County.
The “least” favorite fashion trends of the last 25 years? Tattoos, by a landslide, followed by body piercing and the grunge look. Oddly enough, saggy pants did not make the list at all.
Favorite movie? This surprised me. Forest Gump won, followed by Titanic and The Shawshank Redemption.
I might not agree with USA TODAY’s readers on all, or even perhaps on most of their answers, but clearly they have put their collective finger on
America’s pulse during our recent past.
They missed on some, for sure. Apparently no significant number of them mentioned DNA testing, video games, mp3 players (although several mentioned iPod’s) or memory cards, and who knows what other new things are out there today that we don’t even know about that will dominate the next 25 years of our lives.
We don’t know, but one thing is for sure. Things will be different in big ways. In a world of more uncertainty than most of us have experienced at any other time in our lives, the certainty of change is the one thing we can predict with complete confidence.
Better get ready.
March 11, 2010Pinecrest Golf Course to open
BY MICHAEL ENOCHSLifelong Dyer resident

Pinecrest Golf Course project manager, Norman Robinson, related, “We want to preserve this place as an asset to the community. It has had an influence on all the surrounding communities both economically, and socially since being founded in 1959 by various people from Dyer and Trenton. We want to preserve that tradition, and make it open to the public to enjoy good food, good friendship, and good golf.”

Lady Pioneer Heather Butler is Miss Basketball nominee
BY LORI CATHEYLady Pioneer Heather
Butler has accomplished two more milestones in the last three weeks of her high school basketball career.
Butler has been named as a Miss Basketball Finalists for Class AA. This is the highest individual honor that you can achieve in high school basketball. She became only the second Lady Pioneer to be nominated for this award.
Butler, along with Heather Griffin and Aubry Reedy, Gibson County’s Big Three Seniors, all signed to play collage basketball with UT Martin. The senior guard is a four-year starter who averaged 25 points and 5 assists per game. She is the Lady Pioneers leading scorer and has helped lead Gibson County to their second straight state tournament trip.
Gibson County coach David Russell said, “Heather is the best guard that I have ever coached. She is a outstanding young lady and I can’t think of anyone else more deserving than her for Miss Basketball.”
The Miss Basketball winner will be announced at the conclusion of the Class
AA State championship game March 13 at the Murphy Center in Murfreesboro.
Butler also recently scored her 2,000th point.

Turnaround vote passes $35 wheel tax increase
BY STEVE SHORTCounty Commissioner
Mark Flake of Milan changed his mind Monday morning and the result could impact what you pay for your car license tags.
Flake cast the decisive vote March 8 to increase the wheel tax increase by $35, a 100 percent increase of the current $35 rate. It would go to $70.
The vote passed 17-4, just getting the two-thirds majority needed.
A second vote will be required in May. Voters will then have 30 days to petition against the wheel tax increase before it goes into effect probably in September.
Flake’s vote was a dramatic turnaround. Earlier Monday the wheel tax hike failed 16-5 as Flake voted against it. But Flake made a motion to reconsider and voted in favor of the tax increase.
The second vote came after County Clerk Diane Taylor talked about business tax revenues being far below projections because of changes in the tax collection system.

Kenton officials discuss budget
HINDER NOT TOY DRIVE A SUCCESS - First State Bank in Kenton is a proud supporter of the annual Hinder Not Toy Drive. Through the donations and support of the community, the toy drive was a great success. Displaying a few of the toys collected are (from left) Rebekah Simmons and Rachel Abbott, employees of First State Bank in Kenton and Steve Meeks, Kenton Police Chief.
March 1st, not January 1st. New Years Day was changed to January 1st by Julius Caesar to honor Janus, the two-faced god who looks backwards into the old year and forward into the new. It was a random date selected by Julius Caesar. The vision of Janus started the custom of New Year’s resolutions.
The Tri-City Reporter asked a few people in Dyer what their resolutions are for the New Year.
“Mine is to work out and get in shape,” said Hannah Wallsmith.
“I want to spend more time with the people that matter most,” said Taylor Hassell.
“I want to become more organized, quit procrastinating at school and focus more on important things in life,” said Morgan Spellings.
All three young ladies work at Duncan’s Pharmacy.
Duncan’s co-owner Derek Holyfield said, “I need to lose weight, get in shape and spend more time with my wife and kids!”
The ladies at Cash Now also made resolutions. Joyce Cook said, “I want to commit myself more to reading my Bible and looking to receive blessings from the Lord.”
Katrinka Nance said, “I want to be more committed to the youth. I want to help them by being a mentor to help them find their career path and achieve their goals in the future, whatever they might be.”
Kayla Richardson at The Farmers and Merchants Bank said, “I want to start Zumba and lose weight. I also want to help the first and second graders in my Wednesday night class at Humboldt First Baptist Church learn more about God.”
Brandye Needham at City Lumber Company said, “My resolution is to lose 10 pounds in Zumba class.

Anticipating the State’s Infrastructure Needs.”
“Infrastructure is a key element to quality of life and economic competitiveness,” said Pete DeLay, chairman of TN Infrastructure Alliance. “We only need to look at this year’s flooding for a reminder of that our vitality is linked to infrastructure.”
Across Tennessee, 8,990 projects were reported that still require funding at an estimated total investment of $37,295,949,371.
Projects include infrastructure needs such as transportation networks, storm water control, drinking water, sewer systems, and public school buildings.
“TN Infrastructure Alliance would like to thank the local and state officials who provide the data for Tennessee’s official infrastructure needs assessment,” said Mr. DeLay. “Updating this
information allows our key government leaders to better understand our community needs.”
The Gibson Co. infrastructure projects listed between 2008 and 2013 included:
•32 transportation projects at a cost of about $113 million.
•Three non K-12 education projects at a cost of $6.55 million.

Shop Gibson Co. program
BY KEVIN BOWDENUNION CITY MESSENGERKenton city officials are
committed to a balanced budget for 2011 and Tuesday night took the first steps toward that goal.
The Kenton City Council also approved the spending of $7,650 to make necessary structural repairs to the northwest corner of the town’s community center.
The council met in a called session to hear reports from each of the council members, who serve as commissioners over city departments.
It was during council member and police commissioner Angie Choate’s report that she revealed how the city could save more than $10,000 a year — by transferring the town’s dispatching duties from Central Control in Gibson County to the Obion County Sheriff’s Department and Obion County’s 911 center.
Kenton has been using Central Dispatch in Dyer and paying the private company more than $10,000 a year. Choate said the city could switch over to the local sheriff’s department and 911 and eliminate that expense.
Choate said she has met briefly with Kenton Police Chief Steve Meeks and with Obion County Sheriff Jerry Vastbinder.
“I feel like it’s worth making a change ... and looking in to,” Choate told the council.
She went into great detail explaining how the local sheriff’s department is in the process of switching over to an 800 megahertz dispatching system. Choate reassured her fellow council members that using Obion County’s dispatching system will work for Kenton’s emergency services agencies, namely the police and fire departments.
“I’m confident it’s going to work,” Choate said.
“I’ve wanted this since I was mayor before,” Mayor Virginia Davidson said, referring to her previous terms as the town’s mayor.
“This could go a long way for our budget ... saving money,” she said.
The council approved Choate’s recommendation by a 5-0-1 vote, with council member Sarah Skinner abstaining.
“I’m just not completely satisfied with it,” she said.
What the changeover will
mean for Kenton residents is they will soon begin using Obion County’s 911 dispatching for emergency services and will no longer have to dial 692-3714 for the police department. Instead, calls for police services will be routed through the Obion County Sheriff’s Department dispatching center — 885-5832.
Discussion of the transition of dispatching services dominated Tuesday night’s near hour and 15 minute long meeting.
The switchover of dispatching services is expected to take several weeks.
From saving $10,000 to spending $7,650, the Kenton council voted unanimously to hire Ram Jack of Milan to reinforce the northwest corner of the town’s gym-turned-community center.
Council member and parks and recreation commissioner Faye Sharp recommended spending the money and the council unanimously approved her recommendation following several minutes of discussion.
Sharp described the deteriorating condition of the gym’s northwest corner as a “main concern” and described the condition of the northwest corner of the building as being in “bad shape.”
“It’s very important we get this done now,” Sharp said.
“I think the structure damage needs to be addressed quickly,” Choate said upon hearing Sharp’s report.
Sharp said she had checked around for companies that do foundation repair work, and that she was most confident in the Milan company’s work.
Also during her report,. Sharp identified a list of other repairs and renovations that are needed at the community center, but the council decided not to take any action on the list Tuesday night. It is expected that the council will take up the list of repair work at a later meeting though.
“We’ll get to that other stuff later,” Davidson said.
“Everything in that gym needs to be fixed by April,” council member Tim Johns said.
As part of her report, Mrs. Sharp said she has been reviewing the past year’s financial records for the community center and reported the center is
essentially paying for itself.As Tuesday night’s
meeting wound down, it was obvious the session was productive in terms of laying the groundwork for coming up with a balanced budget.
“I think this has been a very informative meeting,” Davidson said.
In other action, the council:• Reviewed reports from
other council members serving as commissioners, covering the areas of finance, water and sewer, office personnel, fire protection and streets. The reports from commissioners were discussed, but it was generally agreed that until budget estimates can be reviewed no action should be taken.
Council approval was given to the termination of part-time city employee Donald Whitworth. The council also discussed but took no action on letting one other city employee go and switching to a four-day work week during the months of January and February.
“We may look at it next month,” Davidson said.
• Discussed the need to establish work schedules for city work crews and talked about the expense of maintaining city dumpsters.
“We don’t have a foreman,” council member and co-commissioner of the town’s street department Wade Simpson said. “There’s no structure.”
Although the council took no action on the issue of city dumpsters, it was apparent the cost of maintaining the dumpsters through Barker Brothers is an issue that is going to be addressed when the council begins work on a new city budget.
“We’re going to have to look at this,” Davidson said.
The council approved an industrial board and a planning commission for the city. Mayor Davidson recommended the boards to the council, and the council unanimously approved the submitted names.
The industrial board consists of Jimmy Jackson, Bob Holloman, Tom Bock, Robert Norton, Sarah Skinner and Mayor Virginia Davidson.
The planning commission consists of Richard Skiles, Terry Owens, Danny Jowers (as a consultant), Delores Agee and Mayor Davidson.

What Can Be Done For Thrombocytopenia?Thrombocytopenia is a blood condition in
which there is a decrease in the amount of blood platelets. Platelets normally function to stick together, or clot, to prevent bleeding. Persons with thrombocytopenia are at an increased risk of bleeding, due to a decreased ability of the blood to clot and stop bleeding. The cause of the condition may be unknown. Certain viral infections or certain medications may cause a temporary reduction in platelets. Signs and symptoms of thrombocytopenia include bruising, small red or purple dots on the skin, nose bleeds, or an extended duration of bleeding form a minor cut. If the condition is mild there may not be any symptoms.
Some persons with a diagnosis of thrombocytopenia may not require treatment, including persons with a mild condition or persons who inherited the condition. A corticosteroid such as prednisone (Sterapred) may be prescribed to decrease the destruction of platelets. Immunoglobulin may be administered to increase the amount of platelets the body produces. A blood transfusion also could help to improve platelet count. Getting recommended vaccinations can indirectly help prevent the development of thrombocytopenia by helping prevent viral infections that can lead to the condition.
Here we are off into another year. If you started the year in the house of the Lord you’ve made a good beginning in the right direction.
Tina and Janice started worship with the beautiful hymn “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” and call to worship was “Jesus, There’s Something About That Name”. Charles Perryman sang a favorite “Beulah Land” for special music.
Bro James took his sermon text from Deut. 32:36-47. His title was “An Expiring Echo.” These scriptures were Moses’ final message to the people of Israel.
Bro. James and the deacons presented and served the Lord’s Supper. Seems this was a wonderful way to begin the year.
Sunday night Bro. James preached from third John and
Matt. 7:16-20 on perseverance. The key elements to grow and achieve perseverance are prayer, praise, partnering, and plans.
We are looking forward to having Bo Booth speak on behalf of the Gideon organization next Sunday.
Sympathy is extended to the family of Travis Taylor who died in a tragic accident.
Pastor’s pen: Do not rest without an increasing acquaintance with Jesus Christ. Seek to know more of Him in His divine nature, in His human relationship, in His finished work, in His death, in His resurrection, in His present glorious intercession, and in His future.2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen.
Richard and Martha (Marty) Sims were blessed on Christmas Eve to have in their home Marty’s 91 year old mother, Mrs. Gracie Davis Hensley and her husband Edgar of Grenada, Mississippi.
Together they celebrated along with Mrs. Hensley’s other daughters including Mary and Harry Hoyt of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Betty and Bill Bensing of Knoxville, Tennessee. Their brother Don Tetleton of Memphis was unable to attend due to sickness and was greatly missed.
Also present to celebrate was granddaughter, Marsha and Tommy Vance of Jackson, Mississippi, and six great-grandchildren, Joseph Hufffman and Susan Edison of Kenton, Betty Jo Brooks of Knoxville, and Logan and Kaitlyn Vance of Mississippi. They were so blessed to all be reunited on such a wonderful occasion and to share a delicious meal as well as to enjoy a white Christmas.
Mike and Jamie Freeman arrived in Kenton from North Carolina for a visit last Tuesday evening. Mike’s parents, Kerry and Jackie Freeman hosted a belated Christmas meal on Wednesday. Others attending the celebration were Zach and Kellie Freeman, Mike and Jamie Freeman, Michael, Lori, Mitch and Julie Allen and Jack and Jane Allen. After partaking of a delicious meal, they all enjoyed looking at some family pictures, which evoked many wonderful memories
of the past. The evening was topped off with exchanging gifts and visiting.
On Sunday night many friends and family gathered at Los Portales to celebrate Mike and Zach Freeman’s 24th birthday. Attending the celebration were Kerry and Jackie Freeman, Kellie Freeman, Jamie Freeman, Jack and Jane Allen, Kenneth Freeman, Keith and Michelle Freeman, Cancace Walker, Michael, Lori, Mitch, and Julie Allen all of Kenton, Tracye Fender of Rutherford, Rusty and Heather McFarland of Humboldt, Kent and Regina Hendon and John and Tammy Castleman all of Union City.
Food for Thought: When I grow weary and it’s hard to go on, I am tempted to throw in the towel. When the checkbook is empty and there’s never enough, All that comes to my mind is “how?” When sickness invades the ones that I love, I wonder what I can do now. The answer comes in a still, small voice....”Let go, give it to Jesus! That’s how.”
Prayer List: Judy Webb, Johnny Reed, Gwen Rickard, Jimmy Simmons, Amanda Davis, Rebecca Bing, David Stephenson, Aaron Whitworth, Regina Miller, Sam Weatherly, Elmer Williams, Paul Lee Williams, Henry and Cathy Herane, Elaine and Jesse Davidson, Carol and Bobby Primrose, Lil Wardlow, Eurby Sanders, Freda Lamar, Racine Hodges, and Clint McLodge. e-mail: [email protected]
Morning worship services had an attendance 103 and 70 in Sunday school.
The message for the morning service came from the book of Romans 1:18-23, Begin at the Beginning. Why do I believe in God? Our belief in God is always under attack. We are fearfully and wonderfully made? It is he that made us and not we ourself. Do you believe? What will you do with your belief?
The message for the evening service came from the book of Luke 1. We see throughout the Gospel the unity of belief. We still need to be unified in our belief. The book of Luke also emphasizes those beliefs of Jesus life and fulfillment of the scriptures. We are given eyewitness accounts written in the 1st century. Luke’s view shows us a complete understanding of the Gospel so we can have certainty in our beliefs.
Remember in prayer the family of Doris Cherry, the family of Nelda Workman, Allen Hunt and family, the family of Roma Thomas, Michele Whitaker, Laura Speer, Leon Hunt and all of our shut-ins
Lynn had a very nice article in our bulletin this week. It was a look back at the year and all of the activities that brought us such joy. The loved ones that have passed on before us and the future that we have to look forward to.
Thanks so much for a wonderful New Year’s Eve celebration that Brad and Sabrina Clark put together. It is a joy to bring in 2011 with friends and family.
Announcements: Don’t forget to bring your pantry items and help fill up our pantry. You never know when someone may be in need and this is such a small thing we can do to help others.
It was certainly a blessing to be back in the Lord’s house after missing last Sunday. My knee is doing better since surgery.
Our Children’s Sermon was presented by Joyce Downing. She used an erasable white board to demonstrate her message. Unless a special solvent is used, it is impossible to remove whatever is written on the white board. And isn’t that true about the sins that are upon us. Without the blood of Jesus there is no remission of sins. So remember that only the blood of Jesus can wipe our personal board clean and keep it white.
Bro. Don’s sermon was one that offered encouragement and pointed out possibilities for this New Year. Taken from Psalm 139 we learned that God’s hand is upon us and that He knows everything about us. We learned that we are the most important possessions that God has and that we are His most special creation. His presence promises success in what we lay our hands to do. So “start out like you’re going to hold
out” this year and accomplish the “days fashioned for you” by God. (vs 16)
We ended our day with a time of fellowship. Sally Baird and helpers cooked up a batch of homemade corn dogs and fried dill pickles. Others provided finger foods and desserts and we all had our appetites satisfied. We played all sorts of games and I heard the competition was fierce at the Rook table.
Next Sunday Linda Carmoney will be our speaker for the morning service. She also will be sharing information during the evening service about a “Grief Share” ministry that will begin soon at our church. This vital ministry is designed for any who are dealing with a recent loss of a loved one, or even a loss that occurred years ago.
If you know someone who might benefit from this ministry, please contact us at 731 697-2966 for more info.
Remember: God will never give you up or give up on you and I’ll see you in church next Sunday!
Several attended Bible study prayer meeting Wednesday evening. Brother Terry Owens led us in making resolutions for the New Year. We are to take stock of ourselves. The scripture was II Corinthians 5:16-21. He challenged us to be ambassadors for Christ.
Sunday School Attendance was 71. We celebrated the New Year be observing our 2 church ordinances; baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Stacy Williams was baptized at the beginning of our service.
Our special music, sung by Brother Terry Owens was “Unending Love, Amazing Grace.”
We welcome Brother Corey Meggs, Nancy and children back from vacation. He spoke on “How close are you to Christ” from Luke 5:17-26,
the four friends bringing the paralyzed man to Jesus. The room was crowded. So they tore a hole in the roof. Do our churches need a hole in the roof to get people close to Jesus? We then observed the Lord’s Supper.
Discipleship attendance was 39. We enjoyed a time of personal testimony Sunday evening. Brother Corey began our study from Halley’s Bible Handbook summarizing the Bible. We covered the creation, the fall into sin and how it affects us today. You never graduate Bible study until you meet the author face to face.
Remember those on our prayer list, Ralph Jackson has surgery January 11, Hunter Ring, James Sims and Dorothy Butler.
Whether you’re 15 or 115 this is for you with love.
Please read Matthew 6:20. Jesus describes vertical storage. Previously, Jesus had described a life lived from earth to heaven, a vertical life (Matthew 6:1-8). “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publishment peace, that brigneth good tidings of good, that publishemnt salvation that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigheth!” Isaiah 52:7 KJV.
At one of the worst hours in the life of Jesus, we see Jesus washing the feet of His disciples. Peter sees this and says, “No!” But Jesus says, “If I don’t wash your feet, you have no part with Me” (John 13:8). Jesus is humble on purpose and He even washes the feet of His betrayer (John 13:11). After Jesus washed their feet, He says. “Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well for so I am. If I then your Lord and Master have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you” John 13:13-15
KJV. These treasures cannot be taken away from us. We don’t worry about these treasures with God.
Verily, verily, I am unto you. The servant is not greater than his Lord, neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them” John 13: 16, 17 KJV. The vertical life is a life well done.
Earthly treasures are received through horizontal working (Matthew 6:19, 20). They are horizontal treasures because all of them will stay on earth. You’ve heard it said, “you can’t take it with you” (Luke 12:20). When I heard my dad say those words, I didn’t know what he was saying. He meant that all the things I was piling up for selfishness and greed, were all going to remain on earth when I left earth for eternity’s destination. Earthly treasures are the rewards from man. Those are horizontal rewards, approvals of man, a pat on the back, or the glory of men.

There was a good crowd for the morning service, the first service of a new year. The choir special was “Redeemers” with Sue Ellen Moore singing the solo part.

Our devotional for the day was A New Years Resolution by Brother Dewayne Jesus said to Peter do you love Me he said Lord you know I love you. He said to him feed my sheep How can we love God more in the new year?
We are in a changing day, technology is changing but God never changes.
Salvation is for all. Can people tell we love you more? We are to love you with all our heart not family, money, etc. Love the Lord, our worship, praise and sacifice. We should love him daily, spending much time in prayer and Bible study.
Matt: 22:37 Love Commandment Thou shalt Love the Lord Thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind and second is like unto it thy shalt Love thy neighbor as thyself.
The Great Commission is to pray, send or go. We are to love God, love His people and love his heartbeat this is Missions.
Our mission is for his sheep in word and prayers.
For our New Year we know who holds tomorrow.
Brother Dewayne dismissed with prayer.

BY LORI CATHEYWith a convincing 52-19
win over the South Gibson County Lady Hornets in the semifinals, the Gibson County Lady Pioneers, with a strong 48-34 win Thursday night claimed their fourth consecutive championship in the 2010 Gibson County Christmas Tournament. In the semifinal game, the Lady Pioneers jumped to an early 22-0 lead in the first quarter, behind two 3-pointers by Courtney Haynes and 1 by Kortney Tyree.

“Solving Bankruptcy Problems For Over 20 Years”
I want to thank all of you that read our newsletter each week. I appreciate the comments that I have heard. I hope that our lessons are up-lifting and encouraging to you.
The body of Christ came together again last Sunday to worship our great and magnificent God. We should all be grateful for this opportunity to assemble and give Him glory, honor and praise. But, there are still those who make no effort to assemble on the first day of the week and to remember the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We were grateful for our visitors.
Our lesson theme was about the “Irrefutable Facts of Life”. Please get your Bibles and read Proverbs 3:13-22. The Proverb writer tells us several things about the one who gains wisdom. He says that wisdom will make one happy, is more precious than silver and gold, can extend the quantity and quality of our life and will bring peace and life. He also says that the Lord Himself established the world with wisdom and having wisdom in our life will bring life and grace.
There are some irrefutable facts of life we need to look at today.
(1) Life’s not fair. There are some who are rich or poor, intelligent or ignorant, fed or hungry, experience good fortune or ill, free or enslaved, and healthy or sick. These are simply facts of life. God promises that if we “seek Him first that He will take care of us” (Matthew 6:33). God promises that He will be fair in regard to salvation because He is no respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34-35) God promises to judge us all fairly. (2 Cor. 5:10) If we don’t expect life to be fair, then we will not be as disappointed in life.
(2) You can’t change history. Time marches forward, not backward. Once our words are said or done, you can’t go back. What is in the past is in the past and there is nothing that can be done about it. If we think about the fact that we can’t change history, that will help us prevent bad
Praise God for a New Year! We are looking forward to great things happening in 2011. December 31, the last day of 2010 beginning at 10 p.m., Cloras Chapel had watch service.
Our special guest was Badgett Chapel CPCA of Rutherford. We had a high time in the name of Jesus. Rev. Myles was able to be there after having heart surgery two weeks ago and he was so happy to be at church. We were glad to have Minister Austin and he was full of the Holy Spirit.
There were many testimonies, prayers, and songs. Badgett Chapel’s Choir sang from their hearts. Pastor Al Seward spoke a word from the Lord. He was just filled with the spirit and he let God use him. We had a wonderful time in the name of Jesus. We thank God for blessing us and bringing us through another year.
Sunday was another high time for Cloras Chapel. We had a good Sunday school lesson taught by Elder Keith Harris. Rev. Leon Taylor brought the morning message. His title was “Prescription for Success.” The sanctuary choir blessed us with songs of Zion. We had Holy Communion and our hearts
decisions. Just think of all the wars that possibly could have been avoided if we could go back in history and change something.
(3) Choices have consequences. Newton’s third law of motion states: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” This is true spiritually as well. In Galatians 6:7-8 we are told that whatever we sow we shall also reap. If we sow to the flesh (world) we will reap the flesh. But if we sow to the spirit we shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. There is not a choice that we make that first doesn’t originate within the heart. Understanding that choices have consequences will help us measure our choices before we make them.
(4) Learning the hard way hurts! When a child touches a hot stove and burns his hand and cries “mommy it hurts” is learning ways that may hurt him. There are two different ways to learn in life.We learn from someone teaching us or we can learn through experience. In understanding that learning the hard way hurts, we will seek to learn from others first! “Seek me first, Jesus told us and then………(Matthew 6:33). God does not desire for us to learn the hard way, but to seek Him first.
(5) Everyone dies. This is perhaps the most unavoidable truth of life. Some scientists think that they can freeze a body after death and hold it in this condition until a cure is found for their disease. Then they believe that they can thaw the body and give it life again. I personally have never heard of anyone being brought to life again, except by Jesus Himself. Hebrews 9:27 states, “it is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment.” If we understand that everyone dies, then we will seek to prepare ourselves and others for death as well. There are many other irrefutable facts of life but I hope these have helped us to be more aware about life. How is your life today? You may not have tomorrow. Give us a call. We can help! (665-7122)
Lowrance Chapel By Jerry Bell
Cloras Chapel By Robin McNeil
were filled with joy for it was the first Sunday of the year 2011.
After service Pastor Myles, Sister Myles, Robin, Shinnell, Jaykenden, along with Teresa, Pat, and Val went to Badgett Chapel to witness the baptism of Pastor Jeremy Myles, Prophet Elijah Yalartai, April Belmont, and Selinda McElrath. The spirit of the Lord was all over the house and we had a joyful time.
Saturday night at 6 p.m., Cloras Chapel will have a Fellowship and Awards Dinner at the Woodmen of the World Lodge in Rutherford. We will have food, entertainment, and presentations. All are invited to come and share with us. God is so good and we thank Him for everything He has done for us.
Sympathy goes out to the Overstreet family in the loss of their love one Sister Brenda Overstreet. We pray for their strength.
We hope everyone had a merry Christmas and have begun a Happy New Year. May we all be filled with love, joy, and happiness and may we all have a prosperous year. Have a good week and don’t forget to pray.
