The kids love them. It’s aneat, neat deal.”4-H members also delivered251 games and books— just past their goal of 250— to Cook Children’s MedicalCenter in Fort Worth Dec.3. Although the kids enjoyedvisiting with nurses andtouring the facility, Wednesday’sproject filled a void.“I understand why weweren’t able to see the kidsat the hospital,” said LoganMoore. “But it’s so neat to seethe people you bought for andtheir reaction.”“It warms your heart,”Christian Cross interjected.Lauryn added: “I saw thebox I made delivered, andthe person that got it was sohappy.

You neversaw his name. He was neverin the limelight.”Jackson called Young “thedriving force.”“It’s the least we could do,”he said.Jackson and Sessionslearned about the MilitaryWarriors Support Foundationin August at a hunting tradeshow in San Antonio, alsohome to Brooke Army MedicalCenter.“For three days, we sawthese kids coming by ... andthey really are just kids... missing limbs, severelyburned,” Jackson recalled.He and Sessions visitedwith these young men andtheir families and even metretired 3-star-general Gen.Leroy Sisco, the organization’sfounder and chief executiveofficer.According to the foundationwebsite, it gives “homesto wounded heroes injuredduring combat in Iraq andAfghanistan,” and they are“for families who have severeand/or unique circumstancesdue to their injuries receivedwhile serving our country.”Applicants must be a combatwounded veteran, PurpleHeart preferred, or an unmarriedGold Star Spouse of OEF/OIF, honorably retired orseparated from the militaryand must not currently havea mortgage.The families also receivethree years of family and financialmentoring after receivinga home.Jackson and Sessions toldother WC Challenger membersabout the foundation,and all were on board, includingYoung.“I talked to him about threedays before he died,” said Berry,“and he liked it.”Although the group plansto raise enough money for onehome, their goal is to raiseenough for three, which wouldrequire $60,000 in donations.In an effort to raise awarenessof the group’s goal, Berryis running “1,000 miles ‘tilhome.” He started in Septemberand has logged 371.8miles, with plans to run 1,000by the bull riding event inJune.To donate money to WCChallenger’s latest endeavor,visit www.1000milestillhome.com where you can donatevia PayPal.

Theyounger Shepherd told thesame story — that in exchangefor using his father’sgrubbing plow as a pattern,Ross built his father a newplow.3AThe affidavit says Wallaceshowed Joe Shepherd apicture of the grubbing plowfrom the Precinct 4 barn,and “Joe Shepherd advisedthat it looked like the sameplow that his father, BillyShepherd, had been storingon his property.”According to the affidavit,Joe Shepherd did say thatsometime during the lastthree months, the grubbingplow had disappeared.At Wallace’s request, EliteMetal Fabrications in Newarkestimated the cost tobuild a plow similar to thosebuilt in the Precinct 4 barnwould be $850, includingmaterials and labor.Wallace discovered theinformation about the grubbingplows while workingon an investigation that ledto the first charges filed onRoss, in which he’s accusedof theft by a public servantand abuse of official capacity.School district joinsprotest against AYPChico School BoardMonday joined with otherdistricts throughout Texasin protesting the U.S. Departmentof Education’s“Adequate Yearly Progress”requirement.The district met the federalAYP standard thisyear but joined the TexasAssociation of CommunitySchool (TACS) petitionanyway.“We feel that two differentaccountability systemsare not fair,” SuperintendentMike Jones said. “It’sCHICOan encroachment of thefederal government.”The board also heardand approved a reportfrom auditor Steve Gilland,who gave the districta clean bill of health, andreviewed a list of districtfacility needs, includinga new roof at the middleschool and increased security.Students who had receivedawards or honorsduring the fall semesterwere also recognized fortheir achievements.Specialized heart solutionsfor complex heart cases.Now openin McKinney.Baylor Medical Center at McKinney is proud to welcome THE HEART HOSPITAL Baylor Plano’sCenter for Advanced Cardiovascular Care (CACC), an outpatient center bringing innovation,expertise and compassionate heart care.

4A WISE COUNTY MESSENGER, Decatur, Texas, Saturday, December 22, 2012OPINIONChristmas wraps grief in hopeBY BOB BUCKELbbuckel@wcmessenger.comFor some people, Christmashas nothing to do withreligion.It’s time off work, time toeat, watch sports, exchangegifts, hope for snow, chuckleabout Santa.For some, it’s a time todrink too much and try tocorner someone under themistletoe.Others just wish it wouldgo away (although I suspectthey still accept the Christmasbonuses) while forothers, it’s completely aboutreligion. They chide thosewho embrace Santa and boycottstores who refer to “theholidays” or, heaven forbid,“X-mas”.I grewup with alittle differentslant: a fullembrace ofSanta Claus,BUCKELpresents andtrees, but achurch thatwent out of its way to remindus that we don’t really knowwhat day Jesus was born.I’m still on this journey,but lately the faith aspect isbecoming more important.My parents didn’t shyaway from Jesus’ birthstory. The attitude I grewup with was that eventhough history may not giveus an exact date, there’sno harm in anything thatturns men’s hearts to God.Jesus did come, after all. It’sright there in the Bible. Weremember his resurrectionevery Sunday — surely wecan celebrate his birth oncea year.With the increasing commercialismof the holiday inAmerican culture (apologiesto anyone who’s ever gottena new car for Christmaswith giant red bow on it) Ifind myself, like many of you,turning away from all thatmaterialism. And when youturn away from one thing,you turn toward another.Filter out Hollywood andMadison Avenue, and theChristmas story is prettystark: A poor couple whosetimetable for pregnancydidn’t exactly meet thechurch-lady test. A forced march back tothe hometown for a censusand (Oh, boy!) taxes. Labor pains and noplace to lay your head (nevera good combination). Emergency accomodationsin a barn, with afeeding-trough for baby’sfirst crib.We focus on the glory — asinging skyful of angels,wise men with gifts, shepherdskeeping watch — andto be sure, there’s a gloriousaspect to this baby’s arrival.But no matter how oftenpreachers remind us, wetend to avoid thinking aboutwhy that baby came in thefirst place.He came to pay the pricefor sin, for us. He came to die.The world is much morecomfortable with the babyin a manger than with theman on a cross, but theyare the same person. AndChristmas is a wonderfultime to remember that theman on the cross is just asinnocent as the baby was.Our whole nation stillgrieves over the loss of innocentlives on Dec. 14 in Newtown,Connecticut. Grief isappropriate — but for thosefamilies, for that community,for our nation and for allmankind, there’s a glorioushope that overwhelms grief.We can remember Dec. 25for the same reason.And we know that storydoesn’t end with a funeral.Bob Buckel is the Messenger’sexecutive editor.OTHER VIEWSShooting promptsfocus on schoolemergency plansBY ED STERLINGSoon after news broke ofa mass shooting by a lonegunman at a Connecticutelementary school on Dec.14, Gov. Rick Perry askedTexas Education CommissionerMichael Williamsto direct Texas school districtsto review their emergencyoperation plans.“It is essential that weensure all Texas schoolsare equipped and ready tocarry out a strategic planto secure the safety of studentsand staff in the eventof a threat such as the onethat occurred today,” Perrysaid.Perry also referredschool districts to the TexasSchool Safety Center atTexas State University inSan Marcos as a resourceto assist in developing aplan of response or improvingan existing plan.A 2005 state law requiresschool districts andpublic junior colleges toadopt and implement amulti-hazard emergencyoperations plan that includesdistrict employeetraining and mandatoryschool drills to preparestudents and employeesfor responding to an emergency.In a statement of condolencefollowing theConnecticut shooting inwhich 20 schoolchildrenand six adults were killed,Perry said, “The fact thatso many victims werechildren weighs heavilyupon the hearts and soulsof each Texan and everyAmerican.”Texas’ chief law enforcementofficer, Attorney GeneralGreg Abbott, had thisto say:“As a board member ofthe Texas School SafetyCenter, I am committedto making sure educators,students and law enforcementare working togetherto prepare Texas schoolsfor the unthinkable. Wemust not wait until it’stoo late to act. We remindall schools to review theirschool safety plan to ensurethey have proper proceduresto keep studentsand campuses safe.”DNA system hits milestoneTexas Department ofPublic Safety on Dec. 12announced its DNA indexingsystem, that throughcross-referencing andmatching helps solve homicides,sexual assaults,burglaries and robberies,had reached its 10,000th“cold hit” resulting in anarrest or conviction.Since 1998, the DPS reported,its CODIS Lab,which shares data with anationwide FBI database,has helped solve 644 homicides,3,399 sexual assaults,4,273 burglaries,556 robberies and hundredsof other miscellaneouscrimes in Texas andother states.Texas law requires registeredsex offenders andconvicted felons sentencedto Texas Department ofCriminal Justice or juvenilescommitted to theTexas Juvenile Justice Departmentfacilities to providea DNA sample.Sales tax collectionsimproveTexas Comptroller SusanCombs on Dec. 12 reportedthat state sales taxrevenue in November was$2.34 billion, up 13.1 percentcompared to November2011.Collections were strongin retail trade, manufacturing,oil and natural gas,construction and telecommunications,Combs said.December local sales taxallocations totaling $552million will be sent to cities,counties, transit systemsand special purposetaxing districts, up 15.5percent compared to December2011, she added.LBJ Library to cut ribbonThe LBJ Presidential Library,located on the campusof the University ofTexas at Austin, on Dec. 22will open a redesigned coreexhibit, and much more.The opening, on whatwould have been Lady BirdJohnson’s 100th birthday,features unprecedentedaccess to private telephoneconversations of PresidentLyndon B. Johnson, aninteractive Vietnam Warexhibit showing elementsof the president’s decisionmakingprocess and newtheaters and films aboutthe president, civil rights,LBJ’s legacy and the FirstFamily.YOURVIEWSSensitivity tomental healthissues neededAfter reflecting onrecent events and listeningto the debate over allof the possible solutions,I had a thought. One ofthe biggest aspects wehave overlooked is themental health of our nation.We have gone from“Ricky and Lucy” sleepingin separate beds, hearinga gunshot off cameraand someone falling tothe floor, to … well weall know. We have slowlybeen desensitized to thepoint that we no longerrecognize what a mentallyhealthy person looksor sounds like.We need to put our effortsinto having accessto, being exposed to andbeing educated about theissues that affect a mentallyhealthy person —not just kids but parents,professionals, nonprofessionalsand “everyday”folks. If we continue toput “me” and “I” before“we” and “us” and notbeing a compassionatepeople, we are going tobe dealing with this for along time.M. MartinChicoMemories make great giftsBY BRANDON EVANSbevans@wcmessenger.comEvery day grows dimmer.The sun itself growsweary by late December.Friday, Dec. 21, markedthe winter solstice. It’s theday of the year when theheart of our solar system appearslower in the sky thanit will at any other time ofthe year.The sun floats low acrossthe sky, barely raising hergolden head above thesouthern horizon. And herlight vanishes too soon.Shadows march quicklyacross the yard. Nightdescends suddenly this timeof year, like some cosmicentity tossing a pin-prickedpurple velvet blanket overthe world earlier and earlierevery afternoon.And for those dealing withthe loss of a loved one, theirown world grows darker andcolder during this season.It’s no coincidence thatChristmas, our holiest ofholy days, falls just a fewdays after the winter solstice.Even before the birthof Christ and the rise ofChristianity, mankind foundthis time of year sacred.After the darkest day ofthe year, the sun starts tomake a comeback. Littleby little, minute by minute,days grow longer.The growing daylightmeant thedifferencebetween lifeand death. Itsignified rebirth.Just asthings wereEVANS at their darkest,a glimmerof hope and prosperitywas revealed by the cominglight. Christmas coincideswith this astronomical phenomenon.When I was a kid Ithought the most importantthing about Christmaswas the presents. Of courseI knew the story of themanger and the wise menand all that, but that wassecondary to the idea ofbicycles, skateboards andNintendos.But as I’ve grown older,I’ve learned the materialismof Christmas isn’tall that important. Thevalue of gifts isn’t how muchthey cost or even the giftsthemselves, but ratherthe sentiments attachedto them. The joy felt by amom or dad when they seetheir child’s face light uplike a supernova is the realpresent. The toy or dress orvideo game is soon forgotten,but the happinessof the moment is foreverimprinted. The assemblingof far-flung family membersto break bread is the realjewel.But the holiday seasonhas a doppleganger. lt’s acruel irony that the mostwonderful time of the yearcan also be the most heartwrenchingfor people whoare dealing with the deathof loved ones. Just as theearth’s tilted voyage aroundthe sun has made ournights longer, our heartsalso grow darker when wethink about those no longerhere to enjoy Christmaswith us.But they are still here.They live in the laughterand tears of those whoknew them best. And it’s upto us to make their presenceknown this holidayseason. Make their favoritedessert. Give a gift theywould have given. Tell oneof their corny jokes. That’show you ensure they arestill alive. Make sure youhave a good time for them.That’s what they’d want.The greatest gift are memories.It’s how our lost lovedones live forever.As the earth’s tilted voyagearound the sun makesour world a little brighterevery day, celebrate thelight left behind by thosewe loved. Even thoughthey might have left toosoon, they are still here, allaround us.Brandon Evans is a Messengerreporter.

SATURDAYUnderstandingWhat We ReadTHE HOUSE OF THE LORD“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of Goddwelleth in you? If a man defi le the temple of God, him shall God destroy”(I Cor 3:16,17). What is Paul referring to? Is he telling us that drinking acan of beer or using tobacco will defi le us in God’s eyes? No! We are notadvising one to participate in such activity, but when I hear religious leaderstelling us use of tobacco or alcohol is a sin, something is not spiritual.Jesus himself drank wine. Are we going to call Jesus a sinner? There is away to become drunken without consuming an alcoholic beverage. “Theyare drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.”(Is29:9) This verse is referring to spiritual drunkenness. This is the type ofdrunkenness that defi les man-drunk with false religion. Man, throughouthistory, thinks he knows how to please God, but does he? “This peopledraweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with lips; buttheir heart is far from me. But in vain they worship me, teaching for doctrinesthe commandments of men”(Matt 15:8-9). Example: the trinity doctrine,three gods in one, man-made or biblical? Beware, when God clearly tellsus there are no other gods but one! To adhere to any other teaching isblasphemous to God himself. “Not that which goeth into the mouth defi letha man; but that which cometh out of the mouth defi leth a man. For out of theheart(mind) proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts,false witness, blasphemies; these are the things which defi le a man”(Matt15:8-20). The problem with those that are spiritually drunk is that they donot even know they are drunk with false religion. BEWARE of false religion.Second Advent Christian Church615 S.
