page 24 s AUGUST 2008 Crozet gazette Mt. Salem—continued from page 23 emphatically. “The devil didn’t want it to happen.” He began to preach. “You are healed from the inside outside. A doctor cuts you open to heal you. What happens on the outside is going to pass away. What happens on the inside could give you eternal life. “I’ve never seen a God like this,” he said as if amazed. “The things I used to do I can’t do no more because God has taken that away from me.” He talked about a man bound to alcohol. “AA can’t do nothing with him, but JC can get rid of it.” God is acting in situations where people are addicted to drugs, too, he said. Elder Marshall was an intense speaker with shifting cadences. He seemed to loom large. He gripped the attention of his audience. When he quickened the pace of his talk, he gradually raised the steely determination in his voice. Then he might pause. “Come on! Come on!” demanded those in the church. He asked for a hallelujah. He got what he wanted. “Thank you, Lord, for supplying my needs this day.” “This day, this day,” agreed the congregation, some of whom spontaneously stood up. “Sometimes you’re asking God for something and you already have it,” observed Elder Marshall, taking up a more conversational tone. “How many times have you said you don’t have anything to eat and there’s food in the cabinet? You’re missing it. Until we realize what we have, we’re missing it. “I’ve never seen a God like this,” he repeated, still seeming amazed. “It doesn’t take much to take what God has for you,” he advised the crowd. “Keep your hands open if you want something in them.” He shifted between calm, meditative talk, storytelling, and urgent, forceful, insistent points. “I’ve never seen a God like this,” was his refrain. He commanded the room for more than an hour, but the time went by unnoticed. “When God is fighting your battle for you, all you have to do is stand still and watch it.” And the people were ready to give their battles over to God to win. Elder Marshall asked for any who might need it to approach the altar for prayer support. Several went forward and a few of the congregation gathered around and placed their hands on each petitioner, who quietly expressed his or her need or anxiety. Singing began spontaneously. “Give them victory, Lord,” prayed Elder Marshall. “Give him whatever he needs, God.” People brought their injuries and worries and left them, at least partly, for Jesus to bear. The emotion they sat down with was not what they had stood up with. The faith of Mt. Salem church was manifest now and profound. “You can’t see the supernatural,” Elder Marshall had said, “but you can feel it.” The service was ending. Missionary Colemon made a concluding statement: “Our duty to God is to be obedient to his word. He has given each of us a mission.” The congregations parted, but as brothers and sisters and in unity. Ladies of Mt. Salem tidied up the church and put things in order. Everyone had their jobs to go to the next day and tasks still to do at home, but Sunday they had devoted to God at Mt. Salem. The vision Pastor Colemon had brought to the empty building at the side of the road is thriving and strong. Anderson Funeral Services Inc. Serving Western Albemarle Families Since 1967 Robert S.

Crozet gazette AUGUST 2008 s page 25 Summer Movies by Heidi Thorson Co-Owner Put a New Face on Your Garage One of the most popular home improvement projects is replacing the garage door. This project enables a homeowner to spruce up his or her home’s appearance and improve the garage’s utilization as a work/storage area. When selecting a new garage door, homeowners are advised to unify the style of the new door with the overall design of the house. It also pays to select a wood–composite material, which is made entirely of recycled wood fiber. Not only are wood-composite doors energy-efficient, they resist cracking, rotting, shrinking and expansion, even in extreme climates. Homeowners may also want to pay attention to garage organizing systems that improve functionality, whether the garage is used as a work area or a storage space. Whether you’re looking for everyday hardware supplies or large building supplies such as garage doors, you’ll find them at Blue Ridge Builders Supply and Home Center. We are your local alternative to national home centers, offering quality products and good, old-fashioned customer service. Across 1. Built on ___ 5. Frequently 8. Kind of spicy food 12.

Visit our website at: www.brbs.net a day, depending on exposure, soil and pot type, and variety of plant. Conventional sprinklers and automated irrigation systems are not the ideal ways to provide water to plants. Both lose a lot of water to evaporation and tend to have spotty coverage. The worst thing about automated irrigation systems: many dutifully pop up and spray every two or three days, regardless of the water needs of the plants. I’m sure you’ve seen some blithely doing their thing the day after a heavy rain. Utterly unconscionable. Either lugging a watering can or dragging a hose around your garden is arduous, but it gets the water to the plants that really need it. (Plus, it’s a notable deterrent to over-watering!) A shower-wand extension on your hose provides a gentle spray and also gives you an extra three feet of reach to get under the branches of shrubs. Give each plant a good dose; then move on to the next plant or two, returning to the first plant after the initial watering has had time to soak down. There are a couple of reasonable alternatives to hand watering. One is drip irrigation. This involves running a special hose through your beds, to which are attached smaller hoses with nibs. These trickle water on to the plant for an hour or two, allowing it all to soak in. Drip irri- continued on page 27
