Great Plains Kubota“Ride With The Brand”

Those of you that have money in the stock market will enjoy the following article written by Tim Wildmon, Vice-President of the American Family Association.

“As a boy I sometimes watched the evening news with my dad. The best I recall, Walter Cronkite was his choice. CBS Evening News. “And that’s the way it is,” Mr. Cronkite would close each day. Then The Beverly Hillbillies would come on.

One of the segments I found most curious during the evening news was when “Uncle Walter” would talk about a fellow named Dow Jonesandhisindex.Ididn’thaveanindex.IjustfiguredDadwasapreacher and preachers couldn’t afford indexes for their children. One day Mr. Jones would be up and the next day he would be down. Up and down. Down and up. Very temperamental guy this Mr. Jones, I thought, although I didn’t even know what the word “temperamental” meant. All I knew was I sure was glad my Mom and Dad weren’t like Mr. Jones. At age seven, a kid needs stability from his parents.

Now, some 30 years later, I know a little bit more about Dow Jones. And the stock market. At least I know what it is and how important it is to our economy.

At AFA, employees can participate in a 401K retirement/savings plan and invest in the stock market if we desire. I desired.

However, the last year has been unkind to all of us who have so desired. How unkind? I received the following letter recently:

Dear Mr. Wildmon: We are your 401K account people. We wish to remain anonymous

here because, quite frankly, we are too embarrassed by your perfor-mancethelastyearandwishnottobeidentifiedwithyou.

We have noticed over the last year that you have lost quite a bit of money here. Some people would call it a lot of money. Actually, you could have accomplished the same thing over the past year by going outsideyourofficeandburningthemoney.Thiswouldhavesavedusthe trouble of having to keep a record on your loser account.

In fact, Mr. Wildmon, at the rate you are going, you will not have any money left in our account a year from now. If you can get a few more of those 100 point NASDAQ drops you’ve been experiencing with regularity the last year it might not even take you that long. Incaseyoudidn’treadthefineprintwhenyouenrolledinour“ag-

gressive growth fund” we feel the need to tell you that you should actually feel good about this 50% loss over the past year because now you are “buying in low.” That’s right, you, we, are now “buying in low” to get you good deals for the future. However, as we have discussed above, you may not have a future if you continue in this free fall mode.

By the way, you will hear some say, “It will come back. Don’t worry. Be happy.” The only problem with that, Mr. Wildm--, (We have now borrowed two letters from your last name to keep your account open.) is that it doesn’t look like you are going to have anything to “come back” with. Tobequitehonest,hereattheofficewehavearunningbettosee

just what month your puny account will totally dry up. Ha! Ha! (Got to have a little levity in times like these, Mr. Wild---. You understand. Don’t Worry. Be happy.)

Anyway, in our desire to keep you informed about your 401K plan we have noticed that the NASDAQ is down 89 points today with not much time to go (in the day).

In our professional opinion, Mr. Wil----, what you need are two items tomakeyourplanfitinwherewethinkthemarketisheaded.Sack-cloth and ashes. That’s right, Mr. Wil----, we’re talking Old Testament stuff here. You might want to go ahead now and commence wailing and gnashing your teeth and see if you can get it over with before the next quarter’s earning reports come in. In short, Mr. W, your account is seriously spiraling downwards.

So enjoy watching what’s left of your retirement, Mr. W. We feel your pain. Not. Ha! Ha! Sorry, Mr. W. We are not laughing at you, but rather with you. Assuming here that you are laughing to keep from crying.

Thank you for your time, Mr. W. Keepingyouourfirstpriority,weremain,your401Kfriends. Seriously, folks, it’s been said a million times over but it’s worth

repeating--we can’t put our trust in the things of the world. Fame, fortune, education, intelligence or beauty--they can all disappear tomorrow like my 401K.

They tell me I’m young and it will bounce back. We’ll see. But God Almighty is the only one we can trust in, now and for the future. I don’t think St. Peter is going to meet me at that pearly gate and ask, “How’s that 401K plan?”

—CC—Speaking of money and church,

I recently read an article on “how to tell the difference between a Deacon and a Trustee.”

It is relatively easy to identify those people who are employed by your church. Certain mem-bers of the church staff are im-mediately recognizable because of their distinctive appearance or function:

The Senior Pastor is the guy standing at the front door of the church with his Bible tucked un-der his armpit as he smiles and shakes hands with people exiting form the sanctuary on Sunday morning.

The Youth Pastor is always wearing sunglasses (especially indoors) and usually isn’t wear-ing socks (especially with dress slacks and shoes).

The Church Secretary looks frazzled, nervous and exhausted. From her appearance, you would think that she is the hardest work-ing person on the church staff. You’d be right.

But there are lots of people who work at the church who aren’t on the payroll. These are called “lay people.” That means that they have real jobs in the outside world, but they take on consider-able work at the church for free.

The derivation of the term lay people reflects the progressionof their involvement: They were laying around doing nothing until one day when they volunteered to help; ever since, the church staff has been laying a load of respon-sibilities on them.Lay people fulfillmany vital

roles around the church. Most of the time, you can’t tell which lay person does what, unless you catch them in action. They all look similar to each other – just like regular folks. Although lay people may not be distinguishable by their appearances, don’t make the mistake of thinking that all lay people are the same. Their roles (referred to as lay ministries) dif-fersignificantlyandshouldnotbeconfused.

Perhaps the greatest division between lay roles exists with deacons and trustees. An entire subculture of lay ministry is built upon the distinction between these two roles. Basically, the difference is quite simple:

Deacons: These are the ser-vants of the church. They take care of the practical needs of the church members. They make sure that meals are delivered to the sick, that people are visited in the hospital, and that home repairs are handled for the elderly.Trustees:Thesearethefinancial

protectors of the church. They are in charge of the money and how it is spent. Because buildings often represent the church’s most valuable investment, they often oversee the use of the facilities.

You might think that these two lay ministries could work together in peaceful coexistence. Nothing could be father from the truth. There is a dynamic tension that comes into play at each group vies for more influence.Eachgroupthinksthattheirministryismorevitaltothechurch, so the trustees and deacons compete against each other for power and prestige and the distinction of superior humility.

Both the trustees and the deacons are constantly attempting to forge strategic alliances with unsuspecting church members. You must be forewarned and adequately equipped to distinguish between the dea-cons and the trustees. Since they will look alike to the casual observer, you must pay close attention to what they say. Only by their words can you distinguish them.

Deacons say things like: •Itisourpleasuretoserveyou. •Letusassistyouwiththat. •Pleasedon’thesitatetocallusifwecanbeoffurtherhelp. •Jesuscaredforothers,andsodowe. Trustees say things like: •Whodoyouthinkisgoingtopayforthat? •Therewouldbelesswearandtearonthesanctuarycarpetif

we held the worship service in the parking lot. •Peoplepaybigbuckstoseeamovie.Perhapsweshouldimpose

an admission charge on Sunday morning. •Jesusdidn’tspendalotofmoney,andneitherwillwe. Don’t get the impression that the deacons are saintly and the trustees

are cursed. The deacons have an unfair advantage when it comes to public perception: It is their job to help people. Everybody loves a servant. On the other hand, the trustees carry the heavy burden of making sure that the church stays in balance. They have the unpopular job of saying “no” to the frequent monetary requests of the various ministries.NobodylikesaScrooge,butitisthetrustee’sjobtofulfillthatroleforthesakeofthechurch’sfiscalwellbeing.Afterall,moneyisusuallyverytight.Mostchurchesdon’thavesufficientfundstopay the youth pastor enough salary to afford a pair of socks.

—CC— And last of all, my favorite story of the week . . . A minister was asked to inform a man with a heart condition that he

had just inherited a million dollars. Everyone was afraid the shock would cause a heart attack and the man would die.

The minister when to the man’s house and said, “Joe, what would you do if you inherited a million dollars?”

Joe thought a moment and said, “Well, Pastor, I think I would give half of it to the church.”

The minister fell over dead.

The 5th Annual Clint Kimbrough Film Festival will begin at 10:00 p.m. Friday night, following the street festival, in the school audi-torium. A 1951 AHS grad, Clint made a name for himself on both stage and screen during his 25-year acting career.

Since the inaugural CKFF, sponsors of the festival have continued to search out his perfor-mancesonfilm,theaterandtele-vision in order to bring a better understanding and appreciation for the amazing career of Allen’s most recognized entertainer. Whether you remember Clint from his early years in Allen as “Scooter Bill” in the AHS Class

of 1951, or you just vaguely heard of his name as the actor from the infamous movie “Bloody Mama”, we are sure you will be entertainedbythefilmsselectedfor presentation.

Louis Clinton Kimbrough was born to Fred and Lucinda (Yoa-kum) Kimbrough on March 8, 1933 in Oklahoma City. By the age of 15, it was clear that Louis had theatrical ability. As the President of Allen’s Teen Town, in 1948 he helped stage the “Gay Nineties Ball.” As a junior at AHS, Louis wrote, produced and directed the 1950 senior play, a full-length production entitled “Broadway.”

After graduating from AHS, Clint enrolled for a year at OU. He then completed a two-year stint in the U.S. Signal Corps, stationed in Korea, before making his professional stage debut in Brandon Thomas’ play “Charley’s Aunt” in 1953. He subsequently enrolled in the American Acad-emy of Dramatic Arts in New York and shortly thereafter, with the help of fellow Oklahoman Lonny Chapman, secured a spot in Lee Strasberg’s Actor’s Studio, an incubator for many of the most promising talents of the era.

Clint quickly gained a reputa-tion for his ability to understand the character he was asked to play. The late-1950s also brought numerous appearances on live television productions at a time when there were only three major networks. .

This year’s movie selections include:

Friday, 10:00 pm – R.C.M.P. Target for the Law (26 min)

Friday, 10:30 pm – Frances Doel Showcase: Supergator (96 min)

Saturday, 11:00 am – Kraft Television Theater: Sound of Trouble (58 min)

It seems as soon as school is out in the spring, the holidays, vacations and town festivals

start. Summer days get very full. Memorial Day really slipped up on me this year. It was hard to believe it was time

toputtheflagsoutatthecem-etery and begin all the activi-ties associated with summer.

In June we will have D-Day, Flag Day, Allen Alumni, Fa-ther’s Day and the 1st Day of Summer. This year, summer is really getting a head start because we have had some 100-degree days already. I was out in the yard on Sunday af-ternoon in 90-degree weather, pulling weeds and the sweat was certainly in evidence. That hot, dry summer we had last year almost ruined my yard. Watering was restricted and the Hardy Phlox Flowers are long dead and gone. Nevelle Reeves dug up some in his yard in 1961, the year I moved into my house and brought them to me. They have been beautiful year after year. When we received rain, they would bloom until frost. I have one small patch in the courtyard that survived. It was shaded from the sun by a high board fence. The others are long gone.

Last year, a lot of grass died and many kinds of weed seed came in to rest on the ground in those dead spots. I have pulled weeds this year I did not even know existed anymore. Where did those weed seed come from? Anyway, they found a very fertile piece of ground on my yard. It is just now be-ginning to look like my yard again. Oh, yes, the RueEllabeds came back strong. It is a very hardy stock. This is grow-ing beautifully and has been blooming for weeks. I believe it will survive and grow any-where. It certainly did survive our hot and dry summer last year. I will be glad to share a start.

The time to plan for the Alumni weekend is now. My tentative plans are to be there. It is a great day for the com-munity and I hope the fund-raiser to repair the community building is going well. It will

be great to get that restored again. It is a very convenient place to meet. I congratulation those who began this drive. It will happen.

It was an alumni weekend in 2009 that I visited with Bill Robinson after many years. I got to know him when I lived in Holdenville. At that time he was a State Representative and a business owner. I lived and worked there and did free lance work for The Holden-ville Daily News. Editor Ted Beshears would give me a two page spread on many of the stories I covered for him. In 2009 Bill Robinson asked me to write a column for The Advocate. A story on my ex-periences during The Dust Bowl was what he wanted me towrite about first,which Idid. That was the beginning. I am still writing a column for the paper. And now you know; Allen is not just ANY town; it is MY hometown. And also yours. Keep loving it and so will I.

“Why do you put your email address on your articles?” It’s an oft-asked question by people who worry about things like that. It’s very simple — I enjoy hearing from my read-ers. I get very few “crank” letters and, heck, those that I get are interesting. Most of it is friendly, welcome and inter-esting. Some mail comes from those that I’ve lost contact with and others are written so I can get “straightened” out about the facts of my stories and I welcome those letters too. All of us need to be “straightened out” once in a while — espe-cially if we’re wrong. Some of the letters are concerned about my lack of intelligence or wonder about my level of education.

One persistent writer speculated that I was not only an idiot conservative but also a racist. He wanted to know in another letter if I had ever traveled anywhere outside of Allen. I assured him that I had tripped both to Ada and Holdenville and had even lived among the savages of Coal County. So let it be said, I generally enjoy hearing from my readers and your emails are welcome. It helps if you will mark something on the subject line saying something like “re-article.”

Summer is now in full swing — the pool is open and little kids are seen walking and riding bikes up and down the mostly quiet streets of Allen to go swimming. The parks look well trimmed and ready for play and they are well uti-lized. The city is doing a great job keeping everything mowed and cleaned up and everyone is looking forward to the upcom-ing annual alumni gathering. In spite of my enjoying our idyllic life in this little small-town-paradise, my wife and I are consulting our highway maps trying to plan some trips while this summer hangs on. Stay tuned.

The Memorial Day program down at the cemetery was well attended and Aaron Finney did a great job honoring our heroes in his speech. Doug Stinson was Master of Ceremonies at the well-attended ceremony. Afterwards the veterans were honored by the Allen Cham-ber of Commerce with a great hamburger and hot dog lunch. Thanks guys!

I have had some emails asking about Pat’s health. Most of you may remember that she carelessly fell down a few times last year and now has developed some problems to her right leg and knee. Be-ing a thoughtful and loving

husband, I kept a close eye on her swollen knee and her bad limp. After a few months I took her to the doctor even though I felt it was healing up — however slowly. But you all know how women are with their pain so just to be on the safe side I took her to a right knee doctor. He sided with her and is putting on a big brace. I, being the compassionate and free-spending husband, am going ahead with this on an ASAP basis. My friends and family, especially my sister in Ardmore (who always sides with her) think it’s the thing to do. Also, we have good insurance.

The steady march of old age caught up with me last week too. A painful hip and a nosy wife drove me to go to the VA. I had them check me over real good to see if anyone had missed any bullet wounds from the war but they found no signs of wounds or the war on me. The young female doctor who took charge of me gave me some shots and sent me home with medications. Contrary to what my former friend Donny Johnson said at Church Sunday night, it was not a Midol Dose Pak. It was a Medrol Dose Pak. And yes, I am feeling better.

Thanks to each for your

phone calls and inquiries — in case any come — and I hope all of you have a good weekend.

Be sure and go to church this Sunday.

It seems that one of our chief problems is our arrogance in thinking we can improve upon God’s ways. Nadab and Abihu, the priestly sons of Aaron must have thought that where they obtainedthefiredidnotmatter,so they “offered profane fi re before the Lord, which He had not commanded.” (Leviticus 10:1) God told King Saul to utterly destroy all the Ama-lekites and all their animals. (1 Samuel 15:3) However, it seems, to please the people he “spared Agag (the king) and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.” (1 Samuel 15:9) Did he think that his way was better than God’s? Maybe, he thought that how the Amale-

kites were destroyed did not matter, just so long as they were destroyed.

When Naaman sought God’s help in curing him of his lep-rosy, God’s prophet told him “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times.” But Naaman thought, ‘He will surely come out to me and call on the name of his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.’ Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?”(2 Kings 5:10-12) It seems Naaman was so arrogant that he believed he could tell God how to do His business! It was only when he laid aside his pride and humbly obeyed that he was healed.

Are we any better today? Do we not say, “It doesn’t matter what you believe or how you worship?” Should we not humbly believe and worship as Jesus has commanded? Do we not say, “It doesn’t matter how or for what purpose one is baptized, just as long as he is baptized?” Should we not humbly be baptized by being “buried with Him (Christ) through baptism into death”and raised to “walk in newness of life.” (Rom 6:4) In worship, should we not sing and make

“melody in your heart to the Lord” (Eph 5:19), “speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs” as did the New Testament Christians and those who fol-lowed them for over 1,600 years before some decided to try to improve on God’s way and started using mechanical instruments in worship. There is a way we can follow that we know pleases God – God’s way! Why should we try to improve on it?

Memorial Day was an exciting day, both at the Nazarene Church and the cemetery. At the church we honored our veterans and Jennea Haas read a poem entitled “Freedom Is Not Free.” Bro. Larry sang our special “I Just Feel Like Something Good is about to Happen.” AtthistimeofreflectionandprayeroverourmilitaryweknowthatGod is still in control.

At the cemetery at 2:00 we dedicated our new War Memorial in honor of those who fought and died for our freedom. Gary DeShields led the singing of “America the Beautiful.” Bro. Larry spoke about the price our military is having to pay to keep our land free. The Atwood Quartet sang “Halleluiah Square”, a song about heaven and the friends we will see there.

We closed the program with Matt Chapman playing “Taps.” We appreciate all those who attended and gave to support the upkeep of the cemetery.

June is here and with comes our church camps and Bible School. Bible School will be June 18-22 from 9-11:30 in the morning. Our theme this year is SKY, Where everything is possible with God. Chad-der Chipmunk will be with us again this year and we will learn more about his adventures in the air. We will have our usual fun games, snacks and crafts. We invite all children in this area to come.

We had our monthly breakfast, then started our Sunday School classes and church services. Our special for the day was sung by Gary and Bill, “Little is Much When God Is In It.” Sometimes we get discouraged, but God knows our heart and will bring us through the hard times. Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from Romans 8:12-17 and entitled “We Have an Obligation. We are all born with a sinful nature. It is that spirit within us that puts “self” above everything else. Apart from Christ we are controlled by that sinful nature.

Christians have discovered the problem and asked Christ for help. We have asked for forgiveness for the sins we have committed. The sin nature within us caused sin to look very appealing. Without help, we will continue to do what we have always done. We now want to do the right things for the right reason. First, we ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse us. We make a conscious decision to renounce the “old ways.”

We make a determination to live in “newness” of life. Next, we seek Hishelpdailyaswelearnto“puttodeath”theoldnature.Sanctifica-tion is an act of God which requires a full commitment. It is now a life-long dedication to discipleship. We become life-long “Learners” at the feet of Christ. We live the life before others.

We encourage others to join us on the journey. Christians are promised a “delightful inheritance.” It is now our mission to live as though we are on a mission.

Sunday evening at 5:00 we will be having a wedding shower for Dixie Sanders and Houston Blevins in the fellowship hall. We invite all their friends to come and join us.

In an Order for Combined Notice entered on said May 29, 2012, the Court found that it should dispense with the regular estate proceedings prescribed by law, appoint a Special Personal Representative instanter, order notice to creditors, and issue an order for hearing upon the Petition for Summary Administration, the final accounting and petition for determination of heirs, legatees, and devisees and distribution.

Pursuant to the Order for Combined Notice, all creditors having claims against MAU-RICE L.

Notice is hereby given that a hearing will be held on the 27th day of July, 2012, at 10:00 o’clock a. m. at the Pontotoc County Courthouse, before the Judge of the District Court. At the hearing the Court will decide whether to approve the Petition for Summary Administration and the final account and petition for determination of heirs, legatees, and devisees and distr bution of the estate by the Petitioner.

Summer’s Here & The Deals are Hot!!

After being away for a couple of weeks to help out with a fam-ily situation, it is good to be back home with my church family. SincethisisthefirstSundayof

the month, the men cooked break-fast and served up biscuits and gravy with all the trimmings.

There are several things listed on the calendar this month. Next Sunday, June 10th at 2:00 in the afternoon, Ted Deaton will be ordained as a deacon. Following the ordination service there will be a reception in the fellowship hall.

June 11-16th is the week our teens attend Falls Creek. Church members are invited, practically begged actually, to bring home-made cookies for them to take along for refreshments and des-serts.

June 23rd is Movie and Meal night, and then next month Vaca-tion Bible School is scheduled for July 9th through the 13th.

Although it wasn’t in accor-dance with the schedule as given in the bulletin this Sunday, little Ray Lynn Crase opened the wor-ship services by insisting loud

and clear that it was time for her to put her birthday money in the little children’s home offering house at the front of the church. It has been amazing to see how quickly Ray Lynn has changed from a cute baby to a cute toddler in the seven months she has been attending our church.

Tom Spillman, accompanied on guitar by Wyatt Deaton, brought the special music. I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve been away for a couple of Sundays or if Tom and Wyatt are really that good, but their “On Hallelujah Square” was wonderful.

Rev. Charles Karch’s sermon was titled “Who Put the Worm in the Apple?” and was based on Genesis 3:1-21.

There was only one thing that God forbade Adam and Eve to do when he placed them in the Garden of Eden, and that was that they not eat of the fruit of one particular tree. If they ate of it, they would die.

At this time there were no thorns, stickers, or thistles in the pasturesand,figurativelyspeak-

ing at least, no worms in the apples.

If you can imagine an attractive serpent who walks upright, that is how Satan appeared to Eve. He was sly enough that he did not exactly lie while still not telling the truth. After they ate of the tree, they did indeed know the difference between good and evil just as he had said--and no, they didn’t die right away. However, they were soon to learn that their future included death as well as many other unpleasant things.

When God confronted them, they each tried to cast the blame anywhere but on themselves. Af-ter God told them that their lives would now include such things as pain in childbirth and that Adam wouldhavetolaborinthefieldsand earn their food by the sweat of his brow, God killed an animal to clothe them. From that very firstsin,theonlythingthatcouldatoneforsinisbloodsacrifice.

No matter what kind of cov-enant we humans have made with God since that first generation,one way or another we have failed to uphold our side of the cov-enant. God still loves us, though, and when the time was right, his sonJesussacrificedhisownbloodand made us a gift of salvation that rescues us from eternal death if we will accept that gift.

Some time after Paul received that gift of salvation from Jesus he wrote a letter to the Romans. Several of the verses of that let-ter have been used so often to help people find salvation thatthey have become known as the Roman Road. These verses are

Romans 1:16; 3:23; 6:23; 10:9; and 5:8.

When we look at the two choic-eswehave--thefirstbeingeternityin heaven walking the streets of gold in fellowship with God, and the second being to spend eternity in a burning hell, it seems that the choice would be easy.

We humans have a tendency to make things complicated though. Ifwehadtoclimbagreasedflag

pole to attain salvation, think how many people would be tak-ing classes and buying videos to learn how to climb that greased flagpole.

It may be hard to believe, but we can trust that Jesus has already done the hard part for us. He bought salvation for us with His own blood and wants us to accept that gift from him.
