BOCC approves

hardship varianceBY MARKBERRYMAN

Levy County Commissioners heard and approved a request by Tatum and Angela Hagerman in reference to a hardship variance for a second dwelling in order to take care of a mother and grand-mother.

Illegal dumping a county-wide concernBY MARK BERRYMAN

Residents in the Rosewood area of Levy County have had enough with people illegally dumping in the area.

According to Anna White Hodges, residents have contacted the county about the problem but were only able to have fees waived if they took the items to the satellite transfer sites.

“The only help we could get from the county was waived fees. We seem to be on our own out here,” said Hodges.

Levy County Landfill Administrative Director Rod Hastings acknowledged the problem and said he hoped to be able to do more in the near future. “It is very unfortunate and very concerning that a few people proceed to illegally dump in this area. We are hoping the county will receive inmates in the near future and hope to be able to assist with some cleanup at that time,” said Hastings. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ceased inmate work details as part of the state’s response to the COVID-19 crisis. With the state now progressing through the gover-nor’s reopening plan, the hope is that inmates will soon be available for work details.

Hastings also suggested calling Levy County Code Enforcement in an effort to catch those responsible

for illegal dumping. “I would hope some citations would be written and that the offenders would be fined,” said Hastings. “That would be the biggest deterrent for the problem.”

The number for code enforcement is 352-486-5541.

Area resi-dents, however, are not waiting on inmates or code enforce-ment. They have strategi-cally placed cameras in the area to catch those responsi-ble in the act.

One issue for Hodges is that this par-

ticular road is not coun-ty-maintained, meaning resi-dents are left

with the task of cleaning up the mess. While residents could prohibit others from using the road, they do realize it is a convenient way to get to the nearby Dollar General store, so they have kept it as an open road at this time.

“We are all sick of the dumping of mattresses, couches, TVs and any-thing they can drag and drop,” said Hodges. “We are now monitoring the road.”

Hodges said county officials have said anyone caught on camera dump-ing in the area will be prosecuted.

Not everyone agrees on where the trash is coming from. While many believe it is someone who lives in the area, others believe it is someone bringing it from elsewhere. With a little luck the cameras will reveal the


Residents have installed cameras as well as signage warning those who are using the area as a dump that they will be caught and prosecuted.


Some of the illegally dumped trash that still remains in the Rosewood area. The larger items such as a couch, mattresses and tires have been hauled off.

culprit’s identity.County Administrator Wilbur

Dean said Rosewood is not alone in this problem.

“Illegal dumping is a county wide problem not unique to this neighbor-hood,” said Dean. “I will say that over the past year we have seen a decrease in this activity. I contribute most of

the decrease to the county policy of shifting the cost from tipping fees. Hopefully with better public access with the addition of three new trans-fer sites this will further lower illegal dumping.”

Ben Maxson began the public hearing by telling commissioners the 20.8 acre parcel was located in the south half of the southeast corner of Levy County. Maxson said the department recommend-ed approval of the request.

Commission Chairman Matt Brooks then opened the floor for public comment on the request.

Tatum Hagerman explained to commis-sioners why the variance was needed.

“The current home my grandmother lives in isn’t large enough to accom-modate my family. Along with needing my grand-mother on the property so I can take care of her it will not cause a burden to any neighboring resi-dences and improve the property value,” said Hagerman.

Gina Ballard, who lives next to the property in question, spoke in favor of the request. “I have absolutely no prob-lem with the request. I think it’s a great thing she’s looking out for her family,” said Ballard.

The public hearing was closed and the matter returned to the board.

“I want to commend y’all for taking care of your kinfolks like you should. It shows how good people are in Levy County and how good y’all are.,” said Mike Joyner.

The vote was 5-0 in favor of approval.

Love is what unites us

I met Mike and some of my North

Carolina friends for a day of fish-ing. Mike is a striper guide and I have been with him many times when he has put everyone on top of a school of these fighters.

I’ve also noticed one of his best tactics for finding fish is not mounted to his boat. It’s held in his hand. It’s his phone. When the fish are not biting, he simply picks up the phone and calls another striper guide, and the

other guide shares this helpful informa-tion with Mike.

Many times, there have been three dif-ferent guides fishing within a few yards of each other. No self-ishness. Nothing hidden. Just different

guides trying to help each other be better guides, for the benefit of their clients.

In all of fishing, this is really unique in how they work togeth-er. I wish I had seen this in other areas of my life when I was growing up.

In the church world, I was

raised in a time where it seemed we weren’t allowed to help one another. After all, the Methodists are not as good as the Baptists, and the Pentecostals have so much more of God than the Presbyterians. So, we were all told.

Surely God cannot bless those who don’t speak in tongues or who believe baptism is essential to salvation, or someone, God forbid, that doesn’t believe in the premillennial return of Christ! And as a result, we kept fishing in the same dry hole, because it was better to fail than to partner with the beer drinking Catholics.

YOUR OPINION

Sooner or later, we all become like our dad

This Sunday is Father’s Day. It is a day set

aside each year to show the family patriarch just how much he means to the family by buying him an ugly tie, a floppy fishing hat or maybe if he is lucky, a car wash kit.

WARNING: The above men-tioned items are not intended as a shopping list for Father’s Day.

Most of us love our fathers. Even so, if you happen to be a guy you have at least a dozen times swore you will never yield to the mystical cosmic forces that cause men to eventually become… like their dad.

It doesn’t happen suddenly. It creeps up on you slowly with the stealth of a ninja warrior whose mission is to convince you to start wearing plaid shorts and black socks in public.

There are a few signs that this dia-bolical transformation has you in its grip. Let’s take a look at a few.

The very first sign has to be that you start telling “Dad Jokes.” Dad jokes are the epitome of corn-laced humor.

Here’s an example. “Why do chick-en coops only have two doors? Because if they had four, they would be chicken sedans.”

You once told cutting-edge, some-times off-color jokes that made those around you roar with laughter. Now you get a few chuckles mixed in with numerous groans. You’ve entered the Dad Joke Zone.

You find trips to the hardware store enjoyable. There was a time you loathed making a trip to the hardware store but lately you find them excit-ing. You’ve memorized the store lay-out and most of the employees are on a first-name basis with you.

While at the hardware store you always pick up a pointless tool or gadget... or maybe two. Your toolbox or garage has at least a dozen tools or gadgets you have purchased and never used.

Grilling is no longer an enjoyable outdoor pastime. It has become an obsession. You once just threw the burgers and dogs on the grill in wil-ly-nilly fashion but now you must wait until the coals achieve the per-fect color of ash signaling they are ready to receive their offering. You also own at least three grilling gadgets you have never used.

Your slim-line bi-fold wallet no longer simply contains several bills of varying denomination, a credit card, your driver’s license and a condom. You now own a tri-fold wallet which holds receipts from the past five years, an

assortment of business cards, a half-dozen rewards cards, unchecked and expired lottery tickets, slips of paper with phone numbers you failed to label with names and a one-dollar bill you keep “just in case.”

You now find yourself obsessed with the weather. You have at least three weather apps on your phone and can now decipher a radar image with the best of the meteorologists.

If someone happens to mention, say, Kalamazoo, Mich., you instantly reply, “Partly cloudy and 74 with a 20 per-cent chance of rain this afternoon.”

You have become the “Supreme Ruler of Electricity.” Finding a light on in an empty room causes convul-sions. During the summer, your ther-mostat is set on Hades. Every bulb and appliance you own is labeled “Ultimate Energy Efficiency” except for the 75 inch UHD flat-screen TV, which brings us to the next one.

You fall asleep in your Lazy-Boy recliner watching sports on a regular basis. After mere moments you are no longer cognizant to anything happen-ing around you. It is as if the recliner possesses some sort of mystical power that grips you in an unshakable hold leaving you powerless against the urge to fall into a coma-like state. That is, until someone attempts to change the channel, causing you to immediately awaken and say, “I was watching that!”

You find yourself using Dad Phrases, such as “Don’t spend it all in one place” or “They don’t make ‘em like they used to” or “You make a bet-ter door than a window.” The list here is endless.

There are others but I think you have a pretty clear idea of whether or not you are becoming like your Dad.

If you ARE the Dad, you’re proba-bly reading this and saying “Ten thousand comedians out of a job and this guy thinks he’s funny! Hardy-har-har!”

Happy Father’s Day.

Back in 2015, director Judd Apatow briefly

turned comedian Amy Schumer into a movie star with “Trainwreck,” a semiautobiographical film where the protago-nist’s actions were fic-tionalized, but much of the dialogue, situations, and character traits were taken from Schumer’s own life.

Now Apatow hopes to find similar success with Pete Davidson in “The King of Staten Island,” where Davidson plays a fictionalized version of himself and has conver-sations he’s probably had in some form in his per-sonal life.

Even though the film is based on the real life of an individual with a unique story to tell, the film still can’t feel any-thing but formulaic.

Davidson plays Scott Carlin, a 24-year-old slacker with a myriad of mental health issues, many of which are relat-ed to the death of his firefighter father (killed in a nondescript hotel fire and not in the 9/11 attacks like Davidson’s real father) when he was a child.

He spends his days hanging out with his friends, annoying his widowed mother Margie (Marisa Tomei) and sis-ter Claire (Maude Apatow), and taking his girlfriend Kelsey (Bel Powley) for granted.

He won’t get a job or take his relationship seriously because he fig-ures people with his emotional baggage shouldn’t be in the workforce or making a partner miserable (that’s his excuse for his lazi-ness, anyway). The clos-est thing he has to an aspiration is to become a tattoo artist, and even to this he doesn’t really commit, practicing goofy designs of his choice on anyone who’s willing to offer up their skin… including a nine-year-old boy.

The boy’s father is Ray (Bill Burr), a firefighter who is none too happy about the damage done to his underage son. He shows up at Scott’s house to yell at him, but meets Margie at the door, and doesn’t feel like yelling at her.

In fact, he’s soon ask-ing her out for coffee,

To the editor: Re: Mark Berryman story 05/28/20 (“County

pushes back on mandated mask in courthouse’): It is disgraceful that there is a push back on a simple safety solution such as masks.

I work for a health care facility and masks are required regardless of who you are or why you are there.

The masks are to protect EVERYONE and is the lowest cost effort to enable us to open up and get the economy going.

If you want people to feel safe enough to go out this is very little to ask.

We require clothes and shoes (which are not safe-ty related) as well as licenses and insurance (protects fewer people than masks).

Common sense is apparently uncommon.Patti SommersBronson

A different point of viewBY MIDGE ADAMS

GUEST COLUMNIST

“Death to Race Mixers” was a sign held by a white-robed and hooded KKK member on the cover of the April 2004 SPLC “Intelligence Report.”

At the time my mixed-race great-grandson was three years old. They want to kill his mother, my granddaughter? Words are inadequate to describe how I felt.

When I was a young teenager in the early 1950s, my beloved grandfa-ther, a Georgia native, made the state-ment, “N-- are okay in their place.” (At great personal risk from other whites, he had helped several “col-oreds” before he moved to Pennsylvania.)

I asked myself, Where is their place? Why can’t they aspire to be anywhere or anything they want? I actually wrote myself an essay to clear my thinking.

The only question I couldn’t answer at that time was about mixed-race marriage – only because of my con-cern about how society would treat their children.

This was before I learned of the discriminatory treatment of black WWII veterans, or “red-lining,” or all the other ways white people, even in the north, had of discriminating against blacks.

There were no blacks in my ele-mentary school in Harrisburg, Penn. because of the way the school district lines were drawn. When we moved to Clearwater in 1951, there were “sepa-rate but (un)equal” schools, so I didn’t encounter any black students there, either. And I thought it odd that some public water fountains were labeled “colored.”

My first interaction with a black was with the cook at the home of rel-atives in Georgia. I was curious about churning butter, and she showed me how to do it. She also provided meals on a huge round table three times a day. I’d never seen so much food.

When integrating the schools did not go well, my Southern grandfather commented that it might have been better to do it gradually, starting with the first grade the first year, which would have allowed the children to grow up together.

Remember, President Jimmy Carter’s best friend when he was a

small lad was a black neighbor boy. But, when older they had to go to dif-ferent schools.

Probably because of his work, my Northern-born father, a first genera-tion American and RR policeman, was much more prejudiced than my Southern-born mother.

In the 1960s we lived in a New Jersey subdivision, and during that time three different families lived in the house next door. The first two were white, and we never met them. When the second family left, the mortgage company had to totally redo the house interior, because they ripped out everything.

The third family was a black Army officer, his German wife and their mixed-race daughter. They were, by far, the best neighbors we had.

Since then I’ve had occasion to work with several black and brown-skinned people. After getting to know them, I don’t see their color and have sometimes made inappropriate com-ments.

Unfortunately, we have all, white and black, been raised with racist ideas that we should now try to over-come. Every person is an individual and should not be pre-judged by skin color.

On June 6, I joined the Black Lives Matter protesters at Williston City Hall. Social justice is a primary issue for Unitarian Universalists like me.

On March 11, 1965, James Reeb, a white Unitarian minister from Boston, was beaten to death in Selma Ala., while supporting the civil rights protesters there. His white murderers, although charged, were never convict-ed of his death.

Peaceful protests are protected by Amendment I of our Constitution. It is good to protest, but the other way to make change, is to vote. First, be sure you are registered. You can vote early or vote by mail.

Call the Supervisor of Elections NOW to request a mail-in ballot, 352-486-5163, or do so online at votelevy.org.

We don’t know what will be hap-pening with the coronavirus in November. If safe, you can still vote in person, but you’ll need to take your mail-in ballot with you.

Midge Adams resides in Williston and is active in several community groups.

and the two pursue a relationship. This does not sit well with Scott, who doesn’t like Ray and is opposed to his mother dating another fireman. He doesn’t even approve of firemen dating any-body, since there may come a day where they don’t come home to their loved ones, a belief he is only too happy to share with Ray and his chief (Steve Buscemi).

With Ray quickly becoming a stronger presence in the house-hold, and Margie want-ing to give him a push anyway, Scott soon finds himself fighting to retain his effort-free existence.

It shouldn’t be a spoil-er to say that he is going to have to learn a few things about responsibil-ity, the way Seth Rogen’s character did in quintes-sential Apatow comedy “Knocked Up.”

Really, it’s the same arc all protagonists go through if they’re estab-lished as lazy at the beginning of a movie. Supposedly this one is different because it has touches of Davidson’s real-life story and per-sonality thrown in, but I’m sorry, going by this movie I would think that Davidson’s life was only averagely exciting at best and downright uninter-esting at worst.

“The King of Staten Island” boasts dedicated performances from Burr, Buscemi, Powley, Tomei, and even Davidson when he’s not doing tired ston-er schtick.

The script is often funny and sometimes poignant in later stages, but as with many Apatow movies, there’s too much of it (do we really need a whole

sequence to establish that the immature Scott has a “talent” for fitting in at drug-fueled college parties?), especially for a story this tired.

Maybe it’s that Apatow has gone to this well too many times or that something isn’t fir-ing right with the unproven Davidson, but for the second week in a

row I’m reviewing a movie that went straight to On Demand, and for the second week in a row I get the feeling that the movie wouldn’t have been able to sur-vive long in theaters.

PET OF THE WEEK

The Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday, June 11 at the Levy County Quilt Museum.

Our attendance was down. We’re doing doc-tor visits now that we feel it’s beginning to be safe to be out. Some are still a little cautious and that’s a good thing.

We had several boxes dropped off during the week. Tuesday we’ll enjoy opening them. Thank you for thinking of us.

The past couple of weeks, we’ve had calls telling of strange cars being at the museum after dark and we also had someone do wheel-ies in the yard leaving behind deep ruts.

It’s so great to live in a neighborhood where neighbors look after neighbors.

The Levy County Sheriff ’s Department will be making frequent

Free school meals in June and July

The School Board of Levy County (SBLC) Food & Nutrition Services (FNS) department will continue its efforts to provide food, regardless of financial need, to ALL children, ages 1-18, and Students with Disabilities, ages 1-21.

This includes children who attend public school, private school, charter school, are homeless, are home-schooled, are too young to attend school or are from out-of-town visit-ing family members.

Meal bags containing seven break-fast meals and seven lunch meals will be distributed, rain or shine, every Monday from 4-6 p.m. Distributions began June 8 and will last until July 27 at the following locations:

• Bronson Middle High School• Chiefland Elementary School• Williston Elementary School• Cedar Key School• Yankeetown SchoolAdditional sites for distribution

may be added. To find a site dial: 2-1-1 or Text

FOODFL to 877-877 or visit https://summerbreakspot.freshfromflori-

da.com/The six-foot social distancing

guidelines will be practiced to keep everyone safe. Only one meal bag, per child, per week, is permitted for reim-bursement under the USDA SFSP rules and regulations.

Meal bags for adults are not per-mitted and not reimbursable under the USDA rules and regulations. Parents and guardians will now be able to pick up meals for their chil-dren without their child/children present.

For record keeping purposes please be prepared to verbally provide the name and age of the child/chil-dren.

The contents in meal bags are sub-ject to change based upon availability and/or vary by location.

SBLC employees from schools or district offices who wish to volunteer from 4-6 p.m. to help distribute meal bags and cartons of milk are wel-comed.

The USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

Florida gas peaks at $1.99/g

checks on the museum. We can’t think of a

good reason why some-one would be at the museum after 8:30 at night. Please continue looking out for us. Thank you.

If we had not been told of the strange cars,

we would have never known. No damage has been done. Maybe they just know it’s a safe place to sit and enjoy the solitude. We do during the daytime.

Whoever you are, just let us know and we won’t be so worried.

Our two double cuties are Arthur and Adam. They are two domestic short hair kittens, tabby and white and black in color.They are both 8 to 10 weeks old.

They were brought in to our shelter as strays on June 9 and will be available for adoption/rescue this week.

They can be adopted together or sepa-rately. You will be privileged to watch each kitten grow or even two of them through all of the stages of their precious lives. They will bring you much compan-ionship. As much as a cat can love a human being is what you will get back when you take one or both home. For more info on Arthur or Adam contact Levy County Animal Services at 486-5138 or [email protected].

Florida gas prices have risen 6.7 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $1.99/g today, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 8,237 sta-tions. Gas prices in Florida are 25.0 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 48.3 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Florida is priced at $1.59/g today while the most expensive is $2.59/g, a difference of 100.0 cents per gallon. The lowest price in the state today is $1.59/g while the highest is $2.59/g, a difference of 100.0 cents per gallon.

The national average price of gaso-line has risen 4.7 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.09/g today. The national average is up 23.3 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 57.7 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

“As gasoline demand continues on the road to recovery, the national average has advanced for another week, making it seven straight weeks of rising gas prices as the easing coro-navirus situation inspires more Americans to hit the road,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy.

BY MARK BERRYMAN

According to a press release by the Florida Highway Patrol, a 56-year-old Trenton woman was killed as the result of a traffic accident on Tuesday, June 9.

At approximately 8:48 a.m. the unidentified female was driving a 2013 GMC Sport Utility Vehicle south on NW 40th Avenue.

An unidentified driver hauling logs in a 1998 Volvo tractor-trailer was traveling West on NW 160th Street.

The two vehicles collided at the intersection of the two streets.

The driver of the SUV was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The incident is still under investigation and according to the spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol, names will not be released until the investigation has concluded and charges are filed.

Trenton woman dies

in two vehicle collision

Wash your hands.

Cough into your elbow.

Maintain social distance.

More importantly, Be Kind.

When you blow it – I mean,

when you really mess up big time –do you hide from God? Sometimes I do, too.

What if, instead of feeling like a failure and slinking away in shame, we looked at ourselves the way God looks at us: as His much-loved child – even when we fall into sin?

Whenever I read Romans 8, I see more clearly the type of relationship God wants to have with us. And the reason He paid such a high price to get it.

I always smile at verse 15: “For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’” (ESV).

If we’ve recognized Jesus’ death on the cross as payment for our sins, we can call God (with all the excitement the exclamation points imply), “Abba!

Father!”During June, the month

in which we celebrate fathers, let’s pursue such a close relationship with our heavenly Father that we cry (whether in a loud exclamation or quiet whispers), “Abba, Father,” in the same manner we

would say “Daddy!”As a dad, you love your children no

matter what they do or don’t do. How much more does this apply to our relationship with our heavenly Father? Nothing can – or ever will – prevent us from drawing near to our merciful Father. His love for us doesn’t waver, regardless of our behav-ior. Isn’t this amazing? Isn’t this exact-ly what we need?

Let’s not minimize God’s love and grace. Rather, let’s honor our relation-ship with Him by allowing our Redeemer to conform us to His image so we don’t fall as easily into sin.

The past week was an unusu-ally quiet week

around the parsonage. It enabled me to do some-thing that I have wanted to do all summer long. Nothing. I am not brag-ging or anything, but I can do nothing right up there with the best of them.

It all began when the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage made one of her announcements.

“Our daughter and I,” she said rather mat-ter-of-factly, “will be going out of town for the entire day on Thursday.”

Apparently, our daughter was going to take her daughter to visit friends and she wanted my wife to go along to keep her com-pany. Trying to hide my delight in the whole matter, I soberly said, “Is there anything I can do for you for your trip?”

“Now, here’s the list I made for you while I’m away. Make sure you do everything on that list.”

I graciously accepted “The List” and glanced at it casually. If I did everything on that list, she would have to be gone for a month. I smiled as I folded “The List” and tucked it into my shirt pocket.

Finally, the day arrived. Early that morning, the three of

them – grandmother, mother, and daughter – loaded up the car and began their journey. I stood in the doorway and waved until I could no longer see the car, and then I waved for three more minutes just to make sure the job was done.

After I shut the door, I sighed very deeply, toddled over to my easy chair with a nice hot cup of coffee, and began my day’s activities. Oh sure, I read over “The List” several times and then folded it neatly up and put it back in my shirt pocket. As I patted my shirt pocket, I said, “I plan to take special care of this list.”

Knowing all the things I was supposed to do as outlined in “The List,” I decided to do something not on that list.

I know what you are thinking right now. You’re thinking, what are you going to do when your wife comes home? That is the dif-ference between the average person and Yours Truly. I am living

in the moment. Whatever happens later on has no bearing what-soever upon my enjoy-ment of the moment. Indeed, I may get into some complicated trou-ble; however, it is a small price to pay for enjoying my moment.

Not many people come to the place where they can enjoy their moment in the sun. Some people have gran-diose ideas of life to such an extent that they work all their life and never achieve it. Some people work very hard all their life so that they can come to the place where they can do noth-ing.

I am miles ahead of the ordinary citizen. I find ways in which to enjoy doing nothing wherever I can find it.

Even Jesus took time to rest. “And he [ Jesus] said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat” (Mark 6:31).

I am reminded of another old Pennsylvania Dutch saying, “The hurrier I go the behinder I get.”

Dr. James L. Snyder is pastor of the Family of God Fellowship, Ocala. E-mail [email protected].

“Now the body is not made up of one part, but of many....The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you!’ And the head cannot say to the feet, ‘I don’t need you!’” I Corinthians 12:14, 21

I used to read this and Paul was talking about the special gifts and tal-

ents that were in the church. You know, the person in your con-

gregation who could draw anything and anyone just like that. (They are the first person, you ask, to help with a flyer or poster).

Or the person who is great at orga-nizing events, plays, productions and even church yard sales.

Or how about the person who could make the best, gosh-darn pound cake you ever tasted and always brought in a lot of money at bake sales?

That lovely lady who sings with such talent and anointing, that you could feel God’s presence every time she sings.

Usher, Sunday school teacher, chil-dren’s worker, greeter, I could go on and on.

Whenever I read that passage, I always related it to the body of Christ and using your gifts (the things you’re really good at and enjoy doing) for your church.

After all, by doing these things you are helping out. You are serving. You are filling a need. Not one of these gifts and talents are more important, than the other.

They are all, in fact, necessary,

needed, and very much appreciated.

However, in light of the recent events this past month, I now see it in a differ-ent light.

It’s no longer “find-ing your place in the body”, (although, that

is still so important). I see it quite different. All this sad,

unnecessary violence and tragic kill-ings leave me heartbroken.

We are all one race. The human race. Red, yellow, black and white, we are precious in His sight.

Just like we need all the gifts, to work together every Sunday to help our service run smoothly, we need every ‘body’ to help run the earth, the world, smoothly.

One group is not more important than the other. No, God’s love and His anointing have no favorites.

Jesus Christ did not die on the cross and shed His blood for those living in Europe or the United States or Asia, etc.

He didn’t suffer and die a horrible death so that only the Hispanics can have eternal life or the blacks, or the whites.

No, He did it for all people. All races, all nations.

What’s happening is not a skin problem, it’s a sin problem. People have forgotten that we need each other. We need love. Let’s love what God loves and hate what God hates.

Father, help us, during these days to show love to our neighbor and in the midst of it all, to still be the light.

Something about a lazy summer afternoon

Protecting seniors from Social Security scamsJune is World Elder Abuse

Awareness Month. Throughout the month, government agencies, busi-nesses and organizations sponsor events to unite communities, seniors, caregivers, governments, and the pri-vate sector to prevent the mistreat-ment of and violence against older people.

Scammers often target older people. They use fear to pressure people into providing personal information or money. In times like the current pan-demic when people are particularly vulnerable, scammers will pretend to be government employees, often from Social Security, to gain people’s trust to steal their money and personal information. The most effective way to defeat scammers is by knowing how to identify scams then hanging up or ignoring the calls.

If you get a Social Security scam phone call, hang up, report it to our law enforcement office at oig.ssa.gov, and tell your family and friends about

it! We’re telling as many people as we can that government agencies will never:

• Tell you that your Social Security number has been suspended.

• Tell you about crimes committed in your name, or offer to resolve iden-tity theft or a benefit problem in exchange for payment.

• Request a specific means of debt repayment, like a retail gift card, pre-paid debit card, wire transfer, internet currency, or cash.

• Insist on secrecy about a legal problem, or tell you to make up sto-ries to tell family, friends, or store employees.

Scammers might use the names of Social Security officials and tell you to look them up on our public websites. Or, they might email you offi-cial-looking documents with a letter-head that looks like it’s from Social Security Don’t believe them! Social Security will NEVER email you attachments.

And as a result, we all missed out on so much.

One of the most amazing truths that has rocked my world in the past few years is how just hours before Jesus was crucified, (yes, hours) he joined twelve men in an upper room and gave them one final com-mandment. It was to love people. Jesus said it this way. A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” ( John 13)

Read that again if you need to. It’s crazy good. He didn’t say people will know we are followers of Christ by our affiliation,

but by our affection. Let me tell you

another truth you may not have realized…. God is tenseless.

That means God does not refer to or live in the past, present, or future.

Everything is now. Everything is present. Everything is happening in real time with God. What a tremendous thought. Let me tell you why.

Our world is in a mess today, and the question is, if Jesus were in the upper room today, what would God tell him to tell us? But he IS in the upper room today, and he is telling us the same thing.

You see, it would be easy to say God was looking ahead when he told Jesus to give us this one commandment of

love. But God was not looking ahead. He was looking around. He was looking around at pan-demics and racism. He was looking around at genocide, homicide and suicide. He was looking around at injustices. He was looking around at the hungry and the homeless and the pris-oner.

And while he was looking around, he said, Jesus tell them this. “By this everyone will know you are my disciples if you love one another.”

So simple, yet so tre-mendously hard. Why?

Because I must love the one I’m standing against. You see, as Jesus looks around today, know that he didn’t come to take sides. He came to make a new side.

He didn’t come to

stand with a party. He came to make another party. This new party is the party of lovers.

The platform is love and those who affiliate with it will be people who are known for love. Because by this one thing, everyone will know we are followers of Jesus. Not by our denomination or our differences, but by that one thing all followers share. Love.

Are you able to go to God when you need Him most (when you’ve fallen into sin or made (another!) bad choice? If not, for the next few weeks, get to know God as your compassionate Father. As your loving Daddy. Perhaps you can plan to spend extra time reading His Word and

talking to Him.How would your opin-

ion of yourself change if you accepted, as fact, that you are, unreserved-ly, God’s beloved child? How would it change your life if you lived as if you knew Who your Father was?

Rip Van Winkle slept through the American Revolution; Daniel Thorson lost himself in medita-tion at a remote Buddhist retreat in the hinterlands of Vermont and missed the onset of the COVID pandemic, according to

the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. As he emerged from his two-and-a-half months of self-imposed seclusion in May he mused via a Twitter message that he broad-cast for all to see, the words: “I'm

back from 75 days in silence. Did I miss anything?” As he put it to reporters: “while I was on retreat, there was a collective traumatic emotional experience that I was not a part of.”
