THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, APRIL 19, 2012- PAGE 2

Recently I tried to decide if I should sign up for a Medicare supplement policy or sign up for an on-line kindergarten class. It was a bit of a surprise to receive applications for both.

To start kindergarten over would give me another chance at a blue ribbon in the Little Olympics. However, if I fell and broke a hip, then I would need the Medicare supplement. It is a tough choice and I don’t want to rush the decision.

—CC— My friend Jim Hudson of Perryton, Texas writes some great

articles and last week was no exception . . . As I was watching a special about the end of the Shuttle

Program, one thought ran through my mind – the reason that decisions should be made after long and careful deliberation is that some of those decisions can hang round a very long time.

The Shuttle is a perfect example why that advice should be heeded.

Rules, once set in concrete, have a way of gaining an immortal life. People may come and go, but the rule lives on.

In this example, remember the last Space Shuttle launch. You would have seen that there were two external solid fuel tanks attached to each side of the Shuttle. On closer inspection you might think they were a little too long and not big enough around for the job.

The engineers designed them that way for a good reason. The exterior booster rockets were manufactured by Thiokol in the factory in Utah. To move the finished booster rockets from the plant to the launch pad they have to travel by railroad.

That rail line runs through the mountains. At one pointed the track goes through a tunnel and the booster rockets had to be made to fit through the tunnel.

The tunnel was designed to fit the gauge of a single railroad track. So the tunnel is slightly wider than 4 feet, 8-1/2 inches.

Who came up with that odd number, you ask? All American railroad tracks are that size because that is the standard railroad gauge in England. The first railroads in this country were built by English contractors.

Why did the English build them like that, you ask? That was the size used for tramways that preceded the railroads. They used all the same jigs and tools that were used to build wagons and kept the same wheel spacing.

Why did the wagons have that strange wheel spacing, you ask? It was the size of the ruts in old, long distance English roads. If the wheels were spaced either narrower or wider, the axles would break.

Who built those roads with that wheel spacing, you ask? Those old, long distance roads in England and the rest of Europe were built by Imperial Rome for their legions over 2,000 years ago. They have been used ever since.

Why were the ruts at such an odd spacing, you ask? The ruts wee originally made by Roman war chariots. Everyone else had to match those ruts or risk destroying their wagons. All the Ro-

man war chariots were made to precise specifications so that they would all be standard throughout the Roman army.

The Romans got the design for their war chariots from the Middle East. Long before the Birth of Christ, the craftsmen who designed war chariots found that the ideal wheel width matched the width of the back ends of the two warhorses pulling the chariot. The wheels were out of the ground dis-turbed by the horses’ hooves, yet narrow enough to prevent breakage.

That width was set in stone as 4 feet, 8-1/2 inches. That is why the space Shuttle’s booster rockets were the size they were.

The next time you make a decision, or let the government make a decision for you, re-member that the major design feature of what is the world’s most advanced transportation system was determined over four thousand years ago by the width of a horse’s behind.

Some rules live forever!—CC—

I love history and recently one of the most fascinating history lessons I have ever read was sent to me.

Learn History From a $1 Bill

On the rear of the One Dollar

bill, you will see two circles. Together, they comprise the Great Seal of the United States. The First Continental Con-gress requested that Benjamin

Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal. It took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved.

If you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.

Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore the west or decided what we could do for Western Civilization. The Pyramid is uncapped, again signifying that we were not even close to being finished. Inside the Capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin ‘s belief that one man couldn’t do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything. ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’ is on this currency.

The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means, ‘God has favored our undertaking.’The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM,

means, ‘a new order has begun.’ At the base of the pyramid is the Roman numeral for 1776. (MDCCLXXVI)

If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully, you will learn that it is on every National Cemetery in the United States. It is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National Cemetery, and is the centerpiece of most heroes’ monuments. Slightly modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States, and it is always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know what the symbols mean.

The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons: First, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough to soar above it. Secondly, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of England.

Also, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own.

At the top of that shield there is a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor. We were coming together as one nation.

In the Eagle’s beak you will read, ’ E PLURIBUS UNUM’ meaning, ‘from many - one.’ Above the Eagle, we have the thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. Again, we were coming together as one.

Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.

They say the number 13 is an unlucky number. This is almost a worldwide belief. You will almost never see a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor. But think about this:

America, which relies on God (not a number) to direct and lead, boldly chose:

13 original colonies,13 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 13 stripes on our flag,13 steps on the pyramid,

13 letters in ‘Annuit Coeptis’,13 letters in ’ E Pluribus Unum,’13 stars above the eagle,13 bars on that shield,13 leaves on the olive branch,

13 fruits, and if you look closely, 13 arrows. And finally, notice the arrangement of the 13 stars in the

right-hand circle. You will see that they are arranged as a Star of David. This was ordered by George Washington who, when he asked Haym Solomon, a wealthy Philadelphia Jew, what he would like as a personal reward for his services to the Continental Army. Solomon said he wanted nothing for himself, but he would like something for his people. The Star of David was the result. Few people know it was Solomon who saved the Army through his financial contributions …then died a pauper. Haym Solomon gave $25 million to save the Continental Army, money that was sorely needed to help realize America’s –our- freedom and independence from England.

The next time I take a dollar out of my wallet it will have an entirely different meaning to me.

—CC— There are a lot of reasons to plant a garden but here is one

of the most interesting results . . . A Swedish woman who lost her wedding ring 16 years ago found it fastened tightly around a carrot growing in her garden.

Lena Pahisson’s wedding band went missing in 1995 when she took it off to do some Christmas baking. Despite a frantic search, the family never found the ring and assumed it was lost forever. Then, a few weeks ago, Pahisson was pulling up carrots and discovered her long lost ring around one of them.

Pahisson and her husband, Ola, believe the ring was discarded with vegetable peelings that were either turned into compost or fed to their sheep.

—CC— Item of interest . . . Parents who browbeat their kids into

being obedient and agreeable may not be giving them the best preparation for the real world. A new study shows that encour-

aging teens to argue calmly and effectively against parental orders makes them much more likely to resist peer pressure.

University of Virginia re-searchers observed more than 150 13-year-olds as they dis-puted issues like grades, chores and friends with their mothers. When researchers checked back in with the teens two and three years later, they found that those who had argued the longest and most convincingly – without yelling, whining or throwing insults – were also 40 percent less likely to have accepted offers of drugs and alcohol than the teens who had caved in quickly.

“We found that what a teen learned in handling these kinds of disagreements with their parent was exactly what they took into their peer world,” study author Joseph P. Allen tells NPR.org. The key to having a constructive debate with your kids, experts say, is listening to them attentively and rewarding them when they make a good point – even if you don’t end up reaching a mutual agreement.

“Think of those arguments not as a nuisance,” Allen says, “but as a critical training ground” for wise, independent decision making.

—CC— And last of all, my favorite

story of the week . . . Saturday I went to visit some

of my friends in the nursing home and while there one of the employees shared the fol-lowing story with me . . .

Several months ago police were called to help restore or-der at the Presbyterian Home for the Aged, the scene of a weeklong revolt. Three militant octogenarians were

arrested after a scuffle in the north parlor. These three, who were arrested, were identified as leaders of the activist group that seized control of the parlor there days earlier and locked the matron in the closet.

One reason given for the protest: “We have a bunch of

young whippersnappers run-ning things around here, and we don’t trust anybody under 65.” Another reason from a different activist: “What is the sense of living a long time if some 50-year-old kid is going to tell you what to do?”

by Cleo Emerson LeVally Spring rains came early this

year and so did the weeds. Last summer was so dry, grass died in the yard and left large patches of soil that made a place for weeds to come up and thrive. And they did come up. I have had a yard full of dandelion, lamb’s ear, goldenrod, milkweed, thistle, and many other kinds of weeds; some I have never seen before. I have spent hours pulling weeds, but realize that if I want to keep the birds that are in the yard, I must keep some of those weeds. I have observed bees and hummingbirds working the fl owers on the dandelions and the other hated plants in my yard.

I realize that insects are also attracted to different kind of blooms and the birds feed off the insects. So even though I hate the weeds, I have come to tolerate some of those that grow in the yard. I realize that everything was created for a purpose and I am trying to get a different perspective on weeds. I need to learn about plants and leave those that are attractive to wild life. Just recently I stepped to the window and was attracted to s scissors-tail fl ying off the electric wire real fast and watched as it caught a large moth in mid-air. I had learned in

years past that the reason this particular bird has a long tail; it helped them to maneuver to catch insects in the air. These birds are also called Scissortail-Flycatcher. Sparrows also catch insects in the air. I have often sat on the deck in late afternoon and watched the sparrows fl ying among the canes that grow in the alley and catch mosquitoes.

Birds are nesting now but the latter part of May and early June is a good time to observe the birds teaching their young to fl y. The yard across from my house has large trees. Scissortails either nest in those trees or in one of the large mulberry trees in my yard. One spring I was sitting in the yard and was attracted to birds chirping. On the electric wire near the street there was an adult Scissortail and about fi ve feet down the wire were three small birds. Their tails were not quite grown out but they could balance themselves with some effort. The adult bird would jump a few feet down the wire and then coax the others to come to her/him by hopping down the wire. When they had hopped down about 25 feet of the wire, the adult fl ew of across the street into one of the trees and one by one, chirping all the while, the

young ones followed them. A pair of mockingbird’s nest

in a cedar in our courtyard each year and I have observed the young ones learning to fl y. They will hop around among the branches of the shrub, then up to the ledge of the house, then to the tip of the fence and then

back to the nest. After a week or so, they are gone.

I jumped from weeds and fl owers to birds in a hurry but they seem to go together.

One other observation. Do you recall the extremely large worm that is green with black spots on the segments of the

body and has a wicked looking horn on its head? You will fi nd this in the garden, usually on the dill, parsley or fennel. Well, don’t kill it. That is the black swallowtail caterpillar that turns into a beautiful butterfly. So plant some dill or parsley in the garden or fl owerbed. You may get to enjoy the butterfl ies later in the summer.

I get all my health care up at the VA in Oklahoma City but it’s when I am standing in a line or sitting in a waiting room that I fi nd out a lot of stuff. Last week, in a slow line, I noticed this red-haired guy in front of me, turning around and eyeing the crowd preparing to make a speech. I see this up there quite often and as he started to speak I cleverly attempted to avoid eye contact with him by studying the ceiling tiles. It worked fairly well as he di-verted his attention to the two hapless victim’s right in front and behind him. Both were trying to be polite veterans.

“You know it’s time they start giving the little guy a break. This gasoline is way too high.” About 4 or 5 guys turned around and murmured their approval of the subject and the guy was off and run-

ning. “They need to make a deci-

sion soon,” he went on, “to either up the gas mileage on the cars they sell or mark down their gasoline—it’s way too high and they know it.”

“You know, they can make those cars get whatever gas mileage they want and that’s why they cranked it up to 35MPG but now gas is so high they need to set the mileage up to about 50.” The guy in front of me looked a little suspicious as he asked him how they could do that.

“It’s very simple”, the self proclaimed expert replied. “I served in the Army with a sol-dier who invented a carburetor that got 120 MPG and that was on a big Ford pickup truck with a V-8.” Nobody said anything and 2 or 3 guys turned their backs to him and grinned at

each other. “Yeah,” the guy went on,

“Ford Motor Company heard about it and gave him $150,000 for it and killed it. You know that all those car companies and the oil companies are in this together and they get to-gether and set up the price of oil and gas and decide what mileage they are going to let us have. Yessiree, they are afraid of that carburetor.”

The dude in front of me said, “You do know that they quit using carburetor’s several years ago, don’t you? It’s all fuel injectors.”

“Oh yeah,” the guy respond-ed, “but it’s all the same.”

“You think they can just crank up the mileage?” The skeptical listener asked. The guy looked around for some support but everyone got real

busy looking at their paper work and I continued my work staring at the ceiling tiles. His audience was gone and besides he was getting close to the head of the line himself. But he knew his work was done and he did review his main points: A “They” committee did in-deed exist and they did decide the price of oil and gasoline and more importantly they decided how much gas mileage your car gets.

This must be a true story as I have had this carburetor story explained (with varying

details) many times in my life. I have had the “They Com-mittee” explained many times before but I wasn’t aware that there was a “They Commit-tee” in charge of gas mileages who also set gas prices. Thank goodness for the VA Hospital.

I hope all of you are enjoying this nice weather and that you aren’t worried about the gas mileage you get on your way to church. I have it on good authority that it’s being looked after.

Often people say, “It doesn’t matter what you believe!”However, do you really believe that this is true?

Do you think that Jesus taught that what we believe doesn’t matter? Didn’t He

say, “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teach-ing as doctrines the command-ments of men?” (Matt 15:8-9) Since Jesus said the command-ments of men are vain – useless or empty – wouldn’t it matter if we believed and practiced them?

Didn’t Jesus also say, “If you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins?”(John 8:24) So, if I do not be-lieve that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, wouldn’t it matter?

The Apostle Paul wrote that some people“have strayed concerning the truth, saying

that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.” (2 Timothy 2:18) If we believed things taught by people who have strayed from the truth, don’t you think it would matter? If we believed that the resurrec-tion was already past, don’t you think it would matter? Jesus said, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples in-deed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32) It is the truth that sets people free from sin. If it doesn’t matter what we believe, then believ-ing falsehood is just as good as believing the truth. You don’t really believe that, do you?

Spring is in the air and our youth are anxiously plan-ning for the end of school and church camp. We want to thank everyone who came and helped with our fundraiser last Saturday. This money will send our kids to camp. They are our future and God has a plan for each one.

Our special this morning “Me and God,” was sung by Jeremy Beck. Bro. Larry’s ser-mon was taken from Acts 4:32-35 and entitled “The Power of Unity.” Unity enables us to see beyond ourselves. The disciples had a change of heart. Not long ago, these men were worried about who would be greatest. Now, they seem to be genuinely concerned about the welfare of others. An encoun-

ter with the resurrected Jesus changed their lives.

When we come face to face with the resurrected Lord, we cannot remain the same. Our self-centered natures are changed. We become more aware of others and their needs. We also become aware of the fact that we can make a dif-ference. Unity empowers the church’s witness. Remember, there were not a lot of mov-ers and shakers in this crowd. They were humble people with humble means. They were be-ginning to realize that willing-ness was more important than the amount they had to give. Together, they were learning to be a community of believers.

This is still an important les-son for the church today. We need to rediscover how impor-

tant it is that we be of one heart and mind. It is about what Jesus can do through a group of sold-out believers. With this new attitude of unity it wasn’t long before the world began to change. God was doing some-thing amazing in their hearts. The way the gospel exploded across the world was due to the unity of the believers. Unity encourages us to do more.

Then, as now, there were a lot of needy people. Rather than waiting for someone else to act, they did what they could. No one was expected or commanded to sell property and donate. The Holy Spirit was at work, showing each individual believer what they could do. As each did what each could do, needs were met. As each did what each could do, the Word spread. As each did what each could do, bless-ings multiplied. I wonder what would happen today if we each did all we could do.

We are busy making plans for our Gospel Singing Satur-day, April 28th, from 4:00 to

7:00. Featured guests will be the Gastineaus, Broken Vessel, the Buck Family Singers and

Atwood Singers. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy this special time of worship.

Atwood Church of the Nazaarene

The fellowship meal this week was called Poor Man’s Dinner because it fell on what is normally the deadline for fi ling income taxes. It makes me think of my grandparents who threw a big party the fi rst year they had enough cash income that would require them to pay taxes on it. Whatever you call a dinner of beans, cornbread, and fried potatoes, though, it is a very good meal.

Next Saturday, April 21st, is Movie and Pizza Night. Be there by 6:00 for the best seats and the best pizza selections.

We are scheduling a revival from May 17th through the 20th. Rev. Don Smith will be the evangelist. He is one of those preachers who makes you want to attend services for the enter-tainment and then stay for the spiritual growth. There will be more information on this later, but it it’s never too early to begin praying for revival.

Jake Hammonds sang “What I Found at the Altar” as the special music selection. The songs Jake selects always seem to cause us to think about faith and spiritual teachings in a new and deeper way.

Rev. Karch’s message was from Ecclesiastes 1:1-15. We can labor for material goods, power, or the praise of man, but we can’t take any of that to heaven with us.

Things like wind patterns, seasons, the sun and moon and stars, day and night, and the water cycle—all these were acreated by God. While scientists and others may discover many things about them, God created all and has always known all about them.

As humans, it is in our nature to constantly want to see and hear new and varied things. Mankind comes up with many new inventions and creative ways to do the things we’ve always done, but every one of these that we think is a new thing “under the sun” uses materials that were fi rst created by God.

Everything that God put on the earth was put here for our good. Likewise, all marvelous new inventions have good uses, but mankind seems to fi nd nonproductive and evil uses for them as well. Following the teachings of Jesus keeps us focused on conducting every aspect of our lives in positive, constructive ways.

All is vanity that is not used for the Lord. It is just as true today as it was in ancient times.

PB-2012-29In the Matter of the Estate of Frances June Nelson, Deceased.

COMBINED NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND NOTICE OF HEARINGTO: All persons interested in the Estate of Frances June Nelson: You are hereby notified that on April 11, 2012, the Petitioner, Jim A. Knight, (1928

E. 11th Street, Ada, Oklahoma 74820), filed in the District Court of County, a Petition for Summary Administration. The Petitioner has alleged that Frances June Nelson, age 75, died on October 25, 2011, domiciled and residing in Ada, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma and that the total value of the decedent’s property in Oklahoma is less than $175,000.00.

Attached to the Petition is an instrument purporting to be a copy of the Last Will and Testament of decedent. The Petitioner has asked this Court to admit the will to probate and order summary proceedings pursuant to 58 O.S. §245, et seq. On April 11, 2012, the Court did admit the Last Will and Testament of Frances June Nelson to probate and appointed Jim A. Knight as Special Personal Representative of her estate.

In an Order for Combined Notice entered on April 11, 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 Frances June Nelson, deceased, are required to present the same, with a description of all security interest and other collateral, if any, held by each creditor with respect to such claim, to the Petitioner, Jim A. Knight, c/o John D. Miller Bethany Law Center, 6666 N.W. 39th Expressway, Bethany, Oklahoma 73008,on or before the presentment date of May 21, 2012, or the same will be forever barred. The claim of any creditor not shown in the petition will be barred unless the claim is presented to the Special Personal Representative on or before the presentment date.

Allen The Lord’s Day at Harmony

Missionary Baptist Church of Gerty began service by singing Blest Be The Tie, and There Is Sunshine In My Soul. Harmony Trio sang What Will I Leave Be-hind? and Greater Is He That Is In Me.

Devotional Reading was “With Hearts Knit Together”, I Samuel 18:1-4. Adult Lesson was “My Brother’s Keeper”, Acts 2:44-45, 4:32-37, and Romans 12:10-13.

The church is a body that min-isters to each of her members’ needs. Dedicate yourself to be

a conduit as God’s blessings flow through you to others. “Be kindly affectioned one to another, with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another,” Romans 12:10.

Youth Lesson was “Choosing to Not Follow the Crowd.” Because of your commitment to Christ, you cannot always do as others. Exodus 32:1-24

Bro. Phil Parks filled our pulpit. He is a singer, song writer and preacher from Ada. He gave us a brief testimony of his life. He started out by singing one of his new songs, “brand New Touch.”

Bro. Phil became a Christian at age nine in California. When the church doors were open, he and his family were there.

Tribulation has been with him over the years. He first lost his leg due to a drunk driver, gall bladder surgery, heart surgery, tumor in the stomach, lungs and neck, and surgery on both eyes. God wasn’t through with him, He is still using him with his song writing, signing and telling others about our Lord and Savior.

We pray you have a good week and may God bless you!
