The Fence That Me And Shorty Built Lyrics
We’d picked up all the fencing tools And Staples off the road
An extra roll of “bob” wire Was the last thing left to load
I drew a sleeve across my face
To wipe away the dirt The young man who was helping me
Was tuckin’ in his shirt
I turned around to him and said, “This fence is finally done
With five new strands of ‘bob’ wire Shinin’ proudly in the sun
The wire is runnin’ straight and tight
With every post in line The kinda job you’re proud of
One that stands the test of time.”
The kid was not impressed at all He stared off into space
Reminded me of years ago Another time and place
I called myself a cowboy
I was full of buck and bawl I didn’t think my hands would fit
Post augers and a maul
They sent me out with Shorty And the ranch fence building crew
Well, I was quite insulted And before the day was through
I let him know that I’m a cowboy
This ain’t what I do I ain’t no dadgummed nester
I hired out to buckeroo
He said, “We’ll talk about that son When we get in tonight
Right now you pick them augers up It’s either that or fight.”
Boy I was diggin’ post holes Faster than a Georgia mole But if a rock got in my way
I simply moved the hole
So when the cowboys set the posts The line went in and out
Old Shorty’s face got fiery red And I can hear him shout
“Nobody but a fool would build
A fence that isn’t straight I got no use for someone who ain’t
Pullin’ his own weight.”
I thought for sure he’s hit me Glad he didn’t have a gun
I looked around to find a place Where I could duck and run
But Shorty walked up to me Just as calm as he could be
Said, “Son, I need to talk to you Let’s find ourselves a tree.”
He rolled a Bull Durham cigarette
As we sat on the ground He took himself a puff or two Then slowly looked around
“Son, I ain’t much on schoolin’
Didn’t get too far with that But there’s alot of learnin’ Hidden underneath this hat
I got it all the hard way
Every bump and bruise and fall Now some of it was easy
But then most weren’t fun a’tall
But one thing that I always got
From any job I’ve done Is do the best I can each day
And try to make it fun
I know that bustin’ through them rocks Ain’t what you like to do
By gettin’ mad you’ve made it tough On me and the whole crew
Now you hired on to cowboy
And you think you’ve got the stuff You told him you’re a good hand And the boss has called your bluff
So how’s that gonna make you look
When he comes ridin’ through And he asks me who dug the holes
and I say it was you
Now we could let it go like this And take the easy route
But doin’ things the easy way Ain’t what it’s all about
The boss expects a job well done
From every man he’s hired He’ll let you slide by once or twice
Then one day you’ll get fired
If you’re not proud of what you do You won’t amount to much
You’ll bounce around from job to job Just slightly out of touch
Come mornin’ let’s redig those holes
And get that fence in line And you and I will save two jobs
Those bein’ yours and mine
And someday you’ll come ridin’ through And look across this land
And see a fence that’s laid out straight And know you had a hand
In something that’s withstood the years
Then proud and free from guilt You’ll smile and say, ‘Boys that’s the fence
That me and Shorty built’.”Red Steagall—

Devotion of the WeekSurvival and Revival
Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.
Deuteronomy 4:40When George Washington was inaugurated as
America’s first president, his inaugural address included these words: “ . . . the (favorable) smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.”
That sounds suspiciously like what Moses told the people of Israel as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. He reminded them that God’s laws—God’s “eternal rules of order and right”—would be the foundation of the long life they were promised in that land. Live by God’s words and you will live long. Ignore God’s words and you will not. America is not Israel, so we cannot apply Moses’ words directly to this nation. But we can apply them the way George Washington did. God’s principles of “order and right” cannot be ignored individually or nationally. National survival and revival depend on individuals ordering their lives according to God’s Word.
Let that revival begin with you. Order your life today according to God’s revealed Word and will.
Turning PointThe Word of God is either absolute or obsolete. Vance
HavnerSmile of the Week
A fellow went to see the doctor, and while he was being examined, he said, “Boy, I sure hope I’m sick.”
The doctor said, “That’s a bad attitude you’ve got.”The fellow said, “Well, I’d sure hate to feel this bad
and then find out I’m well.”

Devotion of the WeekHow to Recognize a Christian
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. John 13:34
Consider how easy it is to tell the religious faith of many people in the world by their dress or actions. One religion’s members shave their heads, wear saffron-colored robes, play musical instruments, and chant and sing in public. The faithful of another religion stop and kneel for prayers, wherever they are, five times a day. Another religion’s orthodox members wear black coats and hats, white shirts, and have long, curly locks of hair or beards.
What about Christians? Can you look at the crowd in a mall or an airport and tell who is a born-again follower of Jesus? There is only one mark Jesus asked His followers to display to the world: the mark of love. He told his disciples, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35)—not if we dress or speak a certain way or act religious in a certain way, but if we have love for others. Loving people the way Jesus loves people is the true mark of His followers. Love is the highest kingdom value (see Romans 14:17; 1 Corinthians 13:13).
Let your love and service for Christ be translated today into love and service for others.
Smile of the WeekA reporter asked a football coach the secret of his
success in selecting young players.“I have a system,” the coach answered. “I take all
the recruits into the woods. When I fire my gun, they all start running. The ones who run around the trees become my guards, and the ones who run into the trees become my tackles.”

DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
Today I began to think of how and why I named my column. I began to think of all the experiences in my life that I have expe-
rienced. This is how my thoughts ran.
We all live everyday car-rying forward the threads of our lives. We bring our
past experiences and our future hopes for the time and place that we are ev-ery minute. What we are is tied to all those persons and personalities we have known in our lives. It is tied more strongly to our family and those we love. It is tied to all the experi-ences of our lifetime. It is the thread that binds us all together. Think of the times in your life when relationships have been so stretched, bent and twisted into such terrible knots that it seems as if they can never be straight or smooth again, but the thread is not broken be-
cause we do not forget them or put them out of our lives. It is like God’s vineyard that Jesus taught about. The branches or God’s love extend into every being and into every soul.
The thread that binds us together through all of our times is sometime stretched very thin, but it will never break. Think of a time when there have been disagreements. And then think of those times when you came back to-gether. The love did not go away. The thread may have been bent a little but it never was broken.
Love is a very tender thing. It is the way of a Mother’s love for her child and for the love of a child for it’s mother. We must treat each other with kind-ness and respect and we must care for one another. If we do not respond to the question ‘What is Love?’ we may not reply only to what we feel in the depths of our center, which is God, but that which is determined by all that we have been and hope to be. This is the world that God has made and bound us one to the other with the thread of His love. Let us not pollute it with hatred and destruction.

I was seated around the big table in the “Cemetery Class.” That’s a nick-name I gave to my Sunday School class down at the Baptist church. Being there among those guys is (for me) about as good as it gets. I really enjoy the company of these good Christian men. Sadly, they are all, like me, over the hill. Old age has tracked us all down and placed its mark on us. Especially me. I am the oldest man in this class at 80. Lane Rit-ter and I often visit about “things” before class and last Sunday he looked at me and said: “You won’t
be 80 much longer, will you?” “Well, uh no, I guess not. I turn 81 next month.” He had no idea how little I appreciated his pointing this out as I was just starting to get used to being 80. Now I have to deal with 81.
At 80 I noticed (on that very day) that my skin had sagged badly the night before my birthday. My breath was shorter and more shallow. Just about all my systems had been adversely affected and now I wondered what hap-pens next--at 81? Well, I
can be thankful that it’s been no worse than it is. I can still get around and generally remember where I am, where I was going and sometimes even what it is I went into a room for and what I was looking for. Not every time. But sometimes. But I am thankful for what I have.
Thanks to a lot of good advice in my past, I do have a good marriage. Pat and I still live together and never fight (in public) and I attribute a lot of this to some good advice I received many years ago. I feel I ought to pass this on to some of my less experienced and younger admirers.
* Who and how you marry has a lot to do with your destiny, purpose, and troubles of life.
* Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.
* Trouble in marriage starts when a man gets so busy earning his salt that he forgets his sugar.
* Too many couples marry for better or for worse, but not for good.
* If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never be an old nag.
* The bonds of matri-mony are a good invest-ment only when the inter-est is kept up.
* A foolish husband says to his wife, ‘Honey, you stick to the wash-in’, ironin’, cookin’, and scrubbin’. No wife of mine is gonna work.”
* The reason girls like to marry military men--they
can cook, sew and make beds, are in good health and are used to taking orders.
* On anniversaries the wise man always forgets the past but never the present.
One more important fact. A recent survey conducted to learn what makes people “happy” showed that of people who said they were happy, 68%
A new wife was prepar-ing Christmas dinner for her extended family and asked her husband to cut the end off of a ham. Her husband inquired as to why she wanted the end cut off. She replied, “That’s the way my mother always did it.” Not understand-ing why it needed to be done, they decided to ask her mother. Her mother said, “Well, that’s the way my mother always did it!” It was then decided to ask the grandmother why it was done. Grandmother replied, “Well, my baking pan was too short so I cut the end off so it would fit.” She was amazed that her ancestors had been doing something without any justifiable reason; some-thing that was not based in reality, and yet had been handed down for two gen-erations.
Why do we believe the things we believe? Why do we worship as we do? Why are we members of the church we attend? Could we be doing these things as we do simply be-cause “mother” or “grand-mother” did it that way? Is your belief based upon the inspired word of God or upon tradition or error handed down through generations?
Have Christian of today inherited a Christian world that is divided because of erroneous beliefs of our ancestors? Are the things
we practice based on the truth in the Scriptures or are they based on teach-ings of a few influential religious leaders of past generations? And, could it be that today we are divided because of the teachings and traditions of uninspired men of the past?
The Apost le Paul warned of the coming de-partures and division when he wrote, “…after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speak-ing perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.” (Acts 20:29) Perhaps we need to be more like the Bereans who “received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily” to find out if the Apostle Paul was teaching the truth. (Acts 17:11)
attended church at least once a week. The others scored low, down in the 30th percentile. So the advice from an old “sage” such as me to those who seek happiness in their marriage, start off by get-ting into church.
Have a good week-end and while I’m on the subject, be sure and go to church this Sunday. You’ll be happy you did.

Allen loses first round action play Friday 5:30
By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent
The Allen Mustangs are heading in the right di-rection when it comes to their assault on the 2015-2016 season tournament circuit.
Will that trend continue this week? The answer will be revealed this week-end.
Coach Greg Mills’ Allen team finished fourth in the Pontotoc Conference Tournament in Decem-ber.
In early January, the Mustangs improved to a second place finish in the
Moss Invitation Tourna-ment.
The test comes this week in the third and final regu-lar tournament for the Al-len basketball squad.
The Mustangs will be trying to win the Pott County tournament in the Shawnee area.
Allen was to face the Wellston Tigers at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The win-ner advances to a 5:30 p.m. Thursday (today) semifinal game against the winner of Vanoss and Macomb. The loser of the Allen vs. Wellston game will fall into the conso-lation semifinals at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The oppo-
nent will be the loser of the first-round game between Vanoss and Macomb.
The other first round games are on the other side of the 8-team bracket. They will include Earls-boro vs. Wetumka in one game and Asher vs. Dav-enport in the other first-round game.
The field is strong in 2016, so the Mustangs will have to be firing on all cylinders to match or improve on the finish in the Moss tournament.
Stay tuned!Last Tuesday, Allen
struggled to score in the only varsity action of the week. The Mustangs suf-
fered a 48-24 setback on the road against the Kiowa Cowboys.
Allen fell behind 13-6 after a quarter and 25-8 at the half.
After the break, it was more of the same for the visitors from Pontotoc County. Allen was out-scored 9-5 in the third quarter and 14-11 in the fourth. The combination of Kiowa scoring pushed the final score to 48-24 for the Cowboys.
Six Mustangs scored in the 24-point loss. Brendan McClure came closest to a double-digit scoring per-formance at Kiowa. Mc-
Clure managed 9 points.Tommy Peay was sec-
ond on the squad with 4 points and Drew Back was third with 3.
Four Mustangs scored 2 points each, including Ty Brown, Josiah Jones, Logan George and Hunter Simpson.
With the tournament at hand, the Mustangs will need a lot stronger play to advance into the winners bracket. There is a chance to snag the top prize - but only with a strong three-game surge from the Allen players.

The Allen Lady Mus-tangs will be looking this week to win their third consecutive high school regular-season tourna-ment.
Coach Jeremy Strong’s AHS girls will battle for top honors in the Pott County Invitational bas-ketball tournament at Shawnee. They have al-ready snagged the Pon-totoc Conference crown and the Moss Invitational title.
Allen will work to pro-tect the unbeaten record (now at 12-0). They will also be seeking to move up from No. 9 in the Class 2A state rankings.
Allen’s tournament streak, record and 2A ranking will all be tested during the week-long tour-nament.
The first-round game for Allen was to be at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday against the Lady Wildcats of Earls-boro. The winner moves on to play in the tourna-ment semifinals at 4:00 on Thursday. If Allen was up-set on Monday, the Lady Mustangs would drop into the consolation semifinals at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
The second-round oppo-nent for Allen will be ei-ther Vanoss or Wellston.
Last week, Allen played
Lady Mustangs chasing third crownAllen girls put spotless record on line in Pott County Tournament
only once but made the most of the opportunity. The Lady Mustangs re-corded a 40-32 win against the hosting Kiowa Cow-girls.
It was a wonderful win at Kiowa High School. The Cowgirls had lost to Allen in the finals of the Moss Invitational Tournament three nights earlier and were eager to get revenge. The Lady Mustangs stood up and made sure that did not happen.
Allen ran away to a 13-4 in the opening quarter. Kiowa then rallied in the second quarter to cut the AHS advantage cut down to only six points at 24-18 going into halftime.
The Cowgirls clipped off another point in the third period by edging the visi-tors 9-8. That effort made it a 32-27 AHS lead with eight minutes to go.
In the fourth quarter, Al-len responded by outscor-ing the home team 8-5. The advantage in scoring for the Lady Mustangs erased the comeback bid by the Cowgirls and se-cure the 40-32 win.
Coach Strong got a cou-ple of double-digit scoring performances from Char-lea Leonard (14 points) and Faith Caldwell (12).
The other scorers were
in a stair-step fashion go-ing down the list. Sun-zie Harrison provided 5 points, Kennedy Prentice 4 points, Alison Sells 3 points and Hannah Heck 2.
The goal now is to tack on three consecutive wins during the tournament. That would swell the re-cord to 15-0 and garner AHS another trophy. It’s very likely the No. 9 rank-ing might give way to a smaller number.

Last week’s church news was a couple of hundred words longer than I thought it would be, and probably about that much farther than anyone read. Thank goodness the paper put it under the Atwood Nazarene headline! I’ll try to condense it more this week in because the Naza-renes are sure to send me right back to the Baptist church.
James Hammonds and Tom Spillman sang “Let Me Walk Close to Thee” as the special music. Isn’t it amazing how, with all the Christians there are in
the world, Jesus invites each and every one of us walk and talk with Him 24 hours a day? That is somewhat like an ideal teacher being able to give every child in a crowded classroom individual, un-divided attention and in-spiration for every second of every school day. Bro. Dwight Hickey returned as our guest speaker this Sunday. His text was John 2:1-12 and John 21:25, 30. Since Jesus did and said so many more things than John could ever record, why did he include the story of the wedding feast
where Jesus turned the water into wine? It may be that it mirrored the Wed-ding Feast described in the book of Revelations.
When Jesus told his mother that His hour had not yet come, we think of his death by crucifix-ion. He knew he would have to pay that price to later claim His bride, the church, and celebrate His own marriage feast.
It was a social disgrace for the family to run out of wine at the wedding feast, and because He cared about them, Jesus rescued the situation. He had the
servants fill jars that were used to hold water for the purification ceremony altogether these jars held between 120 and 180 gal-lons. When they brought a dipperful of the water that had become wine to the headwaiter, he was amazed that it was even better than the wine they had run out of.
Jesus provides abun-dantly and He provides the best. Jesus loved people and must have been a popular guest who joy-fully joined in at the wed-ding feast. At the same time a part of Him was
dreadfully aware that the wine He had provided was a foretaste of the blood he would shed to provide wine for His own wed-ding feast. And who will be Jesus’s bride at that feast—we who are a part of the Church.
Life can be hard but, like Jesus, we Christians have power over our joy. Whatever our sorrow, we can sip our coming joy. Jesus was the life of His party. Christians should be the life of their circum-stances.
