The Sinner’s Prayer Today, one often hears a TV or radio preacher exhort sinners that hear him to pray the sinner’s prayer and be saved. Such false teaching is not found in the Bible. You can’t just pray a prayer and be saved. God’s plan for salvation is quite clear in the Bible for those who trust in the word of God. First one must have faith (Heb. 11:6) and faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17). After hearing the word, one must believe (Jn. 3:16; Mk. 16:16). Thirdly, one must repent of sins, changing your mind and your life regarding sin (Acts 17:30). One must confess before men that they believe that Jesus is the son of God (Lk. 12:8). Finally, one is baptized for the remission of their sins (Acts 2:38; Mk. 16:16; 1 Pet. 3:21; Gal. 3:27; Rom. 6:3-4). Baptism puts one into Christ where all spiritual blessings are.

Dalhart Texan Page 4A Friday, April 1, 2016 thedalharttexan.com Faith Let’s live every day as if it were Easter Sunday BY LYDIA BUNTING STUDENT DIRECTOR, HILLSIDE CHRISTIAN CHURCH What a wonderful weekend celebrating the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! It is always such a joy to worship with friends and family who have traveled to gather together for the celebration of Easter. Church attendance generally increases and careful thought and preparation goes into making the day go as smooth as possible. It is probably my favorite weekend of the year! As the weekend comes and goes, people travel home and settle back into their normal schedules, and Monday abruptly arrives. Life often seems mundane and routine after the excitement of a holiday. I cannot help but think this is not how it should be. Yes, I realize it would be extremely difficult to have huge family lunches and Easter egg hunts every weekend. However, while those things are fun and exciting, they pale in comparison to the real reason we celebrate Easter. We celebrate Easter because God sent his son to live a blameless life, yet die for our mistakes, failures and shortcomings. Christ dying for our sins is foundational to our beliefs. Without his death and resurrection, we would still be offering animal sacrifices in hopes to be granted forgiveness. Praise the Lord that he is gracious and merciful to grant us unmerited forgiveness each and every day, because of the blood of Jesus! The Savior we worship and celebrate on Easter is the same Savior yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Let’s start living like we truly believe that! My challenge to you all is to continue to worship Him each and every day as we do on Easter Sunday.

Meet DCA board member Mike Thompson BY MIKE THOMPSON DALHART CHRISTIAN ACADEMY BOARD Dalhart Christian Academy (DCA) has had a special place in our hearts from the beginning of our marriage. We were married a month after Farrah graduated from Abilene Christian University, and Farrah’s first “real” job out of college was teaching for DCA. This was at a time when DCA was just a few years old. Farrah got to see the intention of the school from the founding families, and we both realized early on, that it was a different kind of school environment. She taught at DCA until we started our family. As soon as our kids reached school age, there was no doubt in our mind where they would be going. It is such a blessing to be able to start our children’s educational process in the Bible, with faith-based curriculum, and Jesus-loving instructors. This quality is not unique to DCA. Dalhart is fortunate to have several faith-based education options, and a great public school system that is filled with believers at every level. And we all share the same need in reaching our goal: fundraising is vital. Each of the private Christian schools in Dalhart, and many of the Christian organizations that operate within the school system depend on fundraising to exist. In our school, we have 14 different church bodies represented in the student body, and only 62 percent of our income comes from tuition and fees. The other 38 percent comes from all of the fundraising activities that our students are undertaking each year. As you can see in the numbers, we could not meet our budget without the never-ending support of the community. We are grateful to live in such a generous community, and we are especially appreciative to be housed in the First Baptist Church. (Their facility and the ROC is awesome! We are blessed to have the use of it all. ) Even when times are tough, when the markets are off, and the news is full of bad economy rhetoric, this community gives. And we are all so thankful for it. DCA needs your continued support. Our largest fundraiser of the year is this month. SteakOut is April 10th, and has year in and year out been the pivotal event in our budget year. Our kids and adult volunteers will be making the rounds, selling tickets and asking for donations. Thank you for the generosity you have shown us in the past, and please keep our school in your prayers. We are looking forward to another great Steak-Out, and a long future of educating kids in the Word of God. Please come and join us for our Spring Program. It will be May 5th at 7 p.m. in the First Baptist Church auditorium.

Above, Kindergarten students are ready to hunt eggs. Legacy residents celebrate Easter holiday BY PAULA NUSZ LEGACY ASSISTED LIVING The Easter season crept up this year, being early in the season. Legacy enjoyed several events associated with the holiday. Legacy hosted an egg hunt for the 18 students from the Catholic School’s kindergarten class. This activity began with filling 150 plastic eggs with goodies. Fillings included candy, bubble gun, pretzels,erasers, stickers, balls, and fuzzy chicks. Ten residents helped with this chore. The egg hunt was on Thursday, March 24. Two residents helped ‘hide’ the eggs in the grassy area on the northeast side of the Legacy complex. The children took about five minutes to find the eggs, and then took some time in the Legacy dining area visiting with residents and showing off their egg harvest. It was such fun. Eight residents enjoyed the interaction with these children. The adult Easter party was held on Tuesday, March 22. The snacks were chocolate chip cherry cheesecake and lemonade. The program was an analogy of the life cycle of a butterfly and the risen Christ. Each participant made their own butterfly using muffin cup liner papers and clothes pins. Googly eyes and antennae made the butterflies so cute. Magnetic tape made their art into magnets. A Native American poem about the butterfly was also shared. Fifteen residents participated. A seasonal bingo game was held on Thursday, March 24. The special prizes were marshmallow eggs – a traditional Easter candy. Two volunteers, Mormon missionaries, called the game and distributed the prizes. Good Friday Services were held on Friday, March 25. Reverend Cindy Ballard brought the message. She spoke about why this most somber holy day is called Good Friday. The group also sang several songs during the services. Eight residents and five guests were in attendance. Seasonal decorations filled Legacy with color and fun. Ceramic rabbits, all sorts of eggs, spring flowers and crosses fill the common areas. Visits with family and friends make Easter time very special to Legacy residents. Legacy Assisted Living is located in Dalhart, Texas.

USDA weekly Texas crop progress and condition report for March 21-27 Cold fronts and high winds were reported throughout the state with most precipitation ranging from 0.1 to upwards of 1.0 inch, concentrating primarily towards the eastern part of the state. Little to no rainfall was received in parts of the Southern Low Plains, South Texas, and the Edwards Plateau. Small Grains: Some producers in the Northern High Plains began irrigating wheat. Winter wheat in areas of the Northern and Southern Low Plains and Cross Timbers continued to progress, however most areas could benefit from more rainfall. Oats entered the heading stage in South Texas. Row Crops: Corn planting continued in areas of the Southern High Plains and the Blacklands. In areas of the Northern Low Plains cotton producers began field preparations. In South Texas, sorghum planting continued. Fruit, Vegetable and Specialty Crops: Vegetables planting was active in areas of Northeast Texas. Onion harvest in areas of the Lower Valley continued as the potato crop entered flowering stage in South Texas. Pecans began blooming in areas of the Blacklands. Livestock, Range and Pasture: Livestock producers in South Texas reported that supplemental feeding was limited due to more abundant grazing. Pastures conditions improved over the past week and began greening up from recent rainfall in many areas of the state. Pasture and range conditions were rated good to fair. High tunnels on the High Plains: AgriLife research eyes vegetables for improved water use BY KAY LEDBETTER TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE COMMUNICATIONS AMARILLO – When planting season comes around this summer, Dr. Charlie Rush, Texas A&M AgriLife Research plant pathologist in Amarillo, won’t be planting traditional crops or in traditional fields. Rush is beginning a new project looking at high-value vegetable crop production under high tunnels, particularly tomatoes this year. High tunnels are Quonset hut-type structures similar to greenhouses in appearance but lacking artificial heat. As water concerns continue to rise, the potential for making more money with the available water is really good, he said, so that’s one of the reasons to look at this new production system with high tunnels and high-value vegetable crops. “One of the reasons we’re doing this research is because the Ogallala Aquifer is certainly limited and in most cases the water level is dropping,” Rush said. “In areas south of Amarillo particularly, the water availability is becoming scarcer every year.” It’s more difficult for farmers to pump due to the depth of water and the cost involved, he said. “So obviously it’s really important that everybody make the most out of every inch of water they apply that they can,” Rush said. “We strongly believe that in some of the areas where they are running out of water, they’re no longer going to be able to grow high-value crops like peanuts or potatoes and even corn, because these all require a lot of water. “Whereas, if you had a high tunnel, you could grow tomatoes and the amount of money you could make for every inch of water vastly outpaces what you could make on any other crop we’re currently growing in the Panhandle.” Rush said he has multiple research projects to conduct under the high tunnels with a growing interest being expressed by retailers. H-E-B is currently supporting one project with the Texas Department of Agriculture and United Supermarkets also expressed interest in collaborating. “The potential for retail grocers to increase availability of high quality vegetables by purchasing from local growers is quite high,” he said.

Dr. David Anderson, an AgriLife Extension livestock economist, said conditions around most of the state have been good for cattle producers. Aside from areas where there has been flooding, Anderson said 2016 is shaping up to be a good year. Good conditions won’t mean a return to record prices producers received in 2014 and 2015, he said. But prices will likely remain high, historically speaking. Prices for 500-600 pound calves are expected to average $180 per hundredweight for the year. Compared to 2009, the market’s last real valley, 550–pound steers averaged about $101 per hundredweight for the year. Prices began climbing in mid-2009 as producers reduced herds and drought conditions in 2011 forced even more herd reduction, Anderson said. Sharply falling feed costs in 2013 and 2014 only accelerated rising calf prices. Anderson said the El Niño weather pattern over the past couple years likely contributed to drought ending rains, creating conditions which allowed producers to expand herds. But expansion is driving prices down now, he said. He expects the long-term trend to continue downward but doesn’t expect dramatic price fluctuations for the near future. Prices for 500-600 pound calves remain strong because they are still hard to come by, he said. A La Niña weather pattern is expected to develop later this year, but Anderson said any drastic change over the summer could move the market one way or the other. However, he expects Photo Submitted 2016 to be a good overall Cattle meander around lush green forage near Overton.

TEMPLE, TEXAS, March 29, 2016 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced that $5.8 million in competitive funding is available nationwide to help start, improve or expand cooperative businesses in rural areas. “Cooperatives have long been a key resource for small and midsized producers working together to access new markets or to market value added products,” said Under Secretary for Rural Development Lisa Mensah. “This funding helps them continue their crucial role supporting farmers and other businesses that create jobs, provide services and improve the quality of life in rural America.” “USDA Rural Development’s mission is to provide assistance that will increase the economic conditions of rural communities,” said Texas State Director Paco Valentin. “These funds will promote start up, expansion and operational improvements as cooperatives work to grow and strengthen their businesses and provide sustainable, well-paying jobs to rural residents.” The Rural Cooperative Development Grant (RCDG) Program provides funding to non-profit cooperative develop centers and institutions of higher learning. Grants may be awarded for up to $200,000 and matching funds are required equal to 25 percent of the total project cost. For information on how to apply for RCDG grants, contact the USDA Rural Development Texas State Office at 254-742-9780 or see page 16127 of the March 25 Federal Register (https:// www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/ FR-2016-03-25/pdf/201606765.pdf).
