Winds of Praise Broadcasting Statement of Faith We believe: That the Bible is God's inspired, authoritative, infallible Word. 2 Tim 3:16, 17 That there is one God, eternally existent in three personalities; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 2 Cor. 13:14 That Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, sacrificed His own life by shedding His blood on the cross for our sins, and was resurrected by God from death to provide eternal life to those who accept Him as Lord and Savior and is soon coming back for His church. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. "No one comes to the Father, but through Me." John 14:6 That the Holy Spirit, the Helper, is active, sent by the Father, dwells within us, and daily leads us a teaches us in all things. John 14:16, 17 That Jesus Christ is the head of His church, and that His church is composed of individual members and fellowships created to serve unique yet necessary functions and that love is the greatest of all gifts given to His church. 1 Cor. 12 & 13 Winds of Praise Officers and Board of Directors: Scott Albright . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Sacred Ground Baptist-President Kelli Albright . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We all have questions, such as, “Is my child getting the instruction that he/ she needs?” or “Are my children in the best environment possible in their most formative years?” As an educator of ten years, I ask myself the same questions about the type of education I would want my child To Train Up a Child to have. opposed to public school I have taught at both where teachers are lucky a private school and if they have less than a public school and I thirty students in attencan attest to the perfordance.

He can see a difference between the help and instruction he receives in the classroom, “Everyone learns differently. Here, you are taught in the style that you learn…you get more personalized help.” A major plus of a Christian school is the fact that Biblical teaching and prayer can take place openly in the classroom. I can recall multiple times when I was able to pray with students continued on page 4 10% of the September POST advertising will go to Mid-Coast Christian School by Scott Albright listen live: Windsofpraise.com During the day, for my income, I work selling coffee and cappucinno products to various businesses throughout Lincoln County. I was in a small store that was busy with customers and as I was cleaning the cappucinno machine, I was listening to the store owner interact with the people. When the group cleared, I told the merchant that I was impressed by the way she treated her customers. She was polite, informative, helpful, and efficient. She thanked me for noticing, and then proceeded to tell me that not all of her customers were so nice. There was an older man who came in the other day, she said, who wanted to rent Radio Update a crab pot. She started the process and told the gentleman that there would be a $60 deposit for each crab ring. The fellow began to get upset. “$60? That’s rediculous”, he says. “Why, I can go down to the local box store and buy one for $30.” The store owner explained that these crab rings were not the same as the ones available through the mentioned store, and that if they lose one of these, they have to pay $60 to replace it. “Well, I’m not paying a $60 deposit”, said he. And he keeps it up. “You know what”, says the merchant...”these crab rings are no longer for rent”. “ What?” says the man? “I no longer want to rent to you”, she says. “These crab rings are no longer for rent”. Wait a minute, “I do want to rent a crab pot”, he says. And he calmed down, and his attitude suddenly changed. And I thought to myself, someday, it will be like this for people who stubbornly and consistently reject the kindess and mercy and forgiveness of God. There will be a day when it will be too late. What a terrible day that will be. Please do not be one of the stubborn ones. Don’t be so proud in yourself that you keep rejecting the Living God who one day will judge all of humankind.

Albright POST Editor Our little family (new sonin-law included) piled into Scott’s compact car the beginning of September that took us to our first stop in Central R ick R ussell Rick Russell is a local wrestling coach and Pastor at Siletz First Baptist Church When I was a very young pastor, I asked a 96 year old active pastor to tell me about his call to be a pastor. He had been serving as a pastor since he was 12 years old. 84 years of pastoral ministry is a very long time. He told me soberly, “I was never called to be a pastor. I was called to be a servant. I’ve served as a carpenter, dishwasher, landscaper, janitor, babysitter, pasPage 2 “Finding Peace” Oregon where our youngest ran in a 1/2 marathon. After cheering with the crowds at the finish line, it was on to the mountains of Idaho for more vacation time. I had somehow tweaked my back a week earlier, and so I was the fussy one ---despite multiple games of Madlibs--- stopping to buy Tylenol and sometimes needing help getting out of the car, and using “icy-hot” packs during the ride. I was ready to relax! Because of a late departure after the marathon and of my aforementioned pain, we changed plans and stayed at Scott’s mom’s home; Miriam was already with her daughters in the mountains. Oh, the sweetness of Grandma’s house. Though the hour was late, Emily promptly set about showing photos of family, educating her new husband about the clan. After sleep and bowls of cold cereal the next morning we headed for McCall, ID. A boat ride on Payette Lake was in store for our family, which they loved (I opted out, but happy to visit in the spacious vacation home of Scott’s little sister and her husband). A homemade gourmet barbeque followed... ahhh, the life. After dark we made our way to nearby Camp Stover, Scott’s childhood church camp, where we had arranged to spend a night. The small, rickety bed was amazingly comfortable, and Scott and I slept wonderfully. Scott later said it must have been the quietness and peace there. Tall pine trees and dusty ground dotted with wildflowers; the rustic cabins; and gurlgling Goose Creek make up the setting. But it is not just the beauty and memories that makes old Camp Stover special. To think of all the prayers and worship that have been offered there (since the 1920’s) and the ever-listening ears and blessing of God....I beleive that is all a part of it. During our camp visit, we stopped for coffee in the home of the husband of Scott’s cousin. It turned out to be another rich time, listening to Gil’s testimony (a lad originally from Colombia, and living on his own in NY as a teenager, and his conversion from Buddahism to Christianity later). He and his wife hope to bring a revitalizing of faith of sorts to the dear campers and residents of the area. We all joined in prayer for one another. “Encourage one another...” scripture. A stay at the vacation home of another one of Scott’s sisters followed...this time, a Chalk Talk wiTh CoaCh RiCk Russell “Consumed to serve” tor, counselor, friend.” His answer surprised and inspired me. That day I clearly understood my calling. From that day I have been consumed to serve. “Based on the gift you have received, everyone should use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God. If anyone speaks, his speech should be like the oracles of God; if anyone serves , his service should be from the strength God provides, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and power forever and ever. Amen.” I Peter 4:10-11. God has placed a consuming fire inside of us to serve others. However, in this selfserving world in which we live, it is too easy for us to quench the fire with a “me first” mentality. The Apostle Paul daily crucified the flesh of self service so that his burning desire to serve others would remain the forefront of his mind. This passion to serve must come from the heart of a crucified self I see serving God as serving my wife, children, grand children, church, wrestling team, or total stranger. I constantly look for ways to serve others. It truly is a consuming passion in my life. It is the way God has used me and taught me to draw others into his kingdom. The world will only know the love of God by seeing how we Christians love one another. In my passion to serve, I’ve planted a sinner’s orchard, chased a sinner’s boor hog around a pen to get him into an awaiting truck, babysat a sinner’s kids, managed a sinner’s motel so he could take his wife on a date, poured a sin- ner’s drink, washed a sinner’s dishes, built a sinner’s house, fixed a sinner’s car, tied a sinner’s shoes, mowed a sinner’s lawn, sat by a sinner’s bedside as he took his last breath. The Jesus our world will see is the Jesus inside of us. There is no greater joy than the privilege of serving others with the love of God. Let us rise above our generation of selfishness and become consumed with a passion to serve others. “lodge” decor home in remote Riggins. I set about snapping photos of her home, of the hills and a few visiting deer. The next morning, we helped to gather fruit from the ground and trees. Another great time of enjoying God’s creation again. With fall upon us, I am thankful to be able to have gotten away for relaxation and a fresh perspective of things--- and to find out what God has for me next.

Ed is Worship Pastor at Newport Naz, and Charla is the pianist. The Wheeler’s four offspring are living Christian lives today, and serving the Lord. I asked Charla, “Just how do you raise committed Christian kids in today’s semi pagan society?” She graciously filled three pages with two thousand words of thoughts and remembrances. And I’m supposed to condense them to four hundred words! Sheesh! I think the best paragraph was about developing a philosophy. How preemptive! How brilliant! To have a head start deciding what kind of people she wished to raise is HUGE. Today the Wheelers reap the benefits of that early philosophy. “For I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.” 3 John verse 4. Charla began with the firstborn cooing in the crib. Reading that babies sleep twenty hours per day, she kept kid-one awake four hours during the day so night hours were only for sleeping. She said for the most part it worked (some say it doesn’t always). Brave mother, this. Just imagine the criticism that aroused. Ditto when she and Ed decided to homeschool their kids (she’d heard the usual objections and did it anyway). Today these “pitiable” kids have advanced degrees, good jobs, serve the Lord, are critical thinkers, and are accomplished musicians! Here’s more about ”Raising Christian Kids.” Talk and Listen AKA Discuss. When her kids wanted to watch a TV show about which she had misgivings, Charla agreed to allow it, but she would also watch it. During commercials, discussions ensued such as, THANKS TO ALL Dan LunDy Dan Lundy, Messenger Ministries I would like to thank everyone who contributed time, effort, skills, good, gifts, dollars, food, etc., to the Heartbeat Of Creator Potlatch. We had a great time. Many people from many tribes showed up here in Siletz for the potlatch. As many of you know, this potlatch (give-away) started near Fairbanks, Alaska in 2007. It was the Salmon family’s way of honoring their grandfather, Rev. Doctor David Salmon for his leadership of their tribe and their family. Rita Eaglehead, a granddaughter of Dr. Salmon, was present at the Siletz potlatch and played a part in the festivities. She told some of the history of her people. She shared her heart with us. Some of the ministry folks who showed up were: Battleaxe Ministries—Rita Eaglehead Firestarter Ministries—Pat and Gary Walker Winds of Praise Broadcasting— Scott and Kelli Albright Soaring Eagle Ministries—Lura and Gang Sacred Ground Baptist Church— Rick and Sherry Russell Messenger Ministries—Dan and LaRita Lundy Drumspeaker to the Nations— Jerry and Leslie Chapman There were others. I apologize for not listing them but my memory is a little slow right now. Perhaps I’m not as young as I once was. Jesus sent lots of help to this gathering. People served as security, kitchen staff, administative staff, set-up, tear-down, gift distribution and prayer. There was prayer of intercession, healing and peace. In speaking for myself, I can say that this gathering was gratifying and tiring. It was good. It was historic, another first for Sacred Ground and Messenger Ministries. LaRita and I will put our concentration back on the boat now. Hopefully we will be going north soon. That is up to our Creator Jesus to decide for His timing is perfect. To the Kosydar family, thank you for the wonderful beef. Many were fed. To Marvin Reid, thank you for the salmon. We loved every bite of it. To all who gave and served, thank you. The Lord has taken note of your service to Him and to His people. Blessings to all. “What are they trying to teach you here?” That didn’t turn out to be so enjoyable, so the show was given up. Teamwork. Ed and Charla agreed on major decisions. Be Educated. Charla had worked in a preschool, so children were no mystery. She also read every Dr. James Dobson book such as Dare to Discipline and listened to his radio show, “Focus on the Family.” She read Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore’s books like Home Grown Kids. The Bible was always a source of wisdom. Accentuate the Positive, Eliminate the Negative. Remember that song from the forties? That was Charla’s manipulative genius regarding choices of friends. She encouraged and invited friends with positive values and influence, and closely monitored relationships of the other kind. Humility. They called upon the Lord for His promised help. The Wheeler four were steeped in Bible truths, whether through home schooling curriculum, church involvement, or family devotions. “That’s what this family did,” Charla told me. A fine template that worked. Congratulations! Stop in & visit us for lunch. 265-7822 340 N. Coast Hwy Let Adeo bring quality care to the comfort of your home.

Sharing this with you is fun for me too. Hace poco que me encontré un mensaje en rasones porque el cielo va ser tiempo de diversión. Me divierto en compartír con ustedes tambien. Have you looked forward to a special day or time, vacation or a holiday? You find yourself anxiously awaiting the appointed time to arrive, don’t you? Driving to the airport is fun because you are going somewhere, having a check in your hand and going to the bank is fun, going to the doctor to hear your baby’s heartbeat is fun. ¿Han esperado un día o tiempo especial, como vacaciónes o día de fiesta? ¿Esperan con anticipación que llege el tiempo, verdad? Manejando al aeropuerto es diversión porque vas alguna parte, teniendo un cheque en la mano y ir al banco es diversión, ir al medico a oir el latido de tu bebe es diversión. But sometimes, there is not much joy seen in our eyes or heard in our voice. Sometimes it is hard to keep that bounce in our steps. We need something to keep us going, something to look forward to, a hope that can never perish, spoil or fade away. Pero a veces no hay gozo en nuestros ojos o en nuestras voces. A veces es difícil tener el animo en nuestros pasados. Necesitamos algo que nos da animo para segir, algo que esperar, una esperanza que no se desaparece, estropece o que no se desvanecer. Those of us who have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, know that this world is not our home, we are just passing through. We are headed home, HEAVEN, and it is going to be fun Nosotros que tenemos relación personal con Jesucristo, sabemos que este mundo no es nuestra casa, nomas estamos pasando por aqui. !Vamos a nuestro hogar, al CIELO y nos vamos a divertir! Just think about these points about getting to heaven: Nomas piensen en estos puntos del cielo: 1. We get a new body! Our earthly body gets tired, feels pain, gets sick, and with age, moves slower, sags, our eyes dim, and things fall out, like hair and teeth. In heaven, we get a new body, a better one, an eternal one, one that doesn’t get tired, feel pain, get sick or fall. 1. ¡Recibemos un cuerpo nuevo! Nuestro cuerpo de este mundo se cansa, siente dolor, se enferma, mueve mas despacio, y con edad se cae, nuestros ojos boran y cosas se caen, como el pelo y los dientes. En el cielo recibemos un cuerpo nuevo, uno que no se cansa, siente dolor, enferma, o cae. 2. We’ll get to live in a custom made house! Yes, a perfect house created by God especially for us. No leaky faucets, walls that need painting, roofs that need repair. 2. ¡Podemos vivir en casa construida especialmente para nosotros! Si, casa perfecta, creada especialmente por Dios. No hay grifo que tiene fuga, paredes que necesitan pintar o techos que necesitan reparos. 3. We’ll get to eat deli- cious food! Imagine eating all our favorite foods, laid out buffet style, with no waiting lines and no check to pay. 3. ¡Podemos comer comida deliciosa! Imaginensen comiendo toda nuestra comida favorita, como estilo buffet, sin lineas de esperar y sin cheque para pagar. 4. We get to talk with Bible characters! We’ll get to ask David what it was like to fight Goliath, Noah what is was like building the ark, Mary about being Jesus’ mom. Who are you looking forward to talking to? 4. !Podemos hablar con carácters de la Biblia! Podemos preguntarle a David que como fué peliar con Goliat, a Noé que como fué cuando construó el arco o a Maria que como fue ser la mama de Jesus. ¿Con quien esperas hablar tu? 5. We’ll get to see and speak with our loved ones! I’m looking forward to talking with my family and friends that have gone on before me. And we will all be kind and loving! 5. ¡Podemos ver y hablar con nuestros queridos! Yo espero hablar con mi familia y amigos que se fueron antes de mi. !Y todos seremos amables y amandonos! 6. We’ll get to live in a perfect world! Heaven will be a perfect place to live. Creation which has suffered because of the fall of man will be restored for mankind. Paradise will be regained. 6. !Podemos vivir en mundo perfecto! El cielo va a ser el lugar perfecto. Toda creación ha sufrido por la caida de hombre. Paraiso será recuperado. 7. Heaven is going to be a place of the ‘’no mores!” No more poverty, hunger, thirst, scorching heat, freezing cold, crying pain, bad guys, impure things. 7. !El cielo va ser lugar de “no mas”! No mas probesa, hambre, sed, calor de quemadura, frio glacial, dolor lloroso, hombres malos, cosas impuras. 8. When we get to heaven, it will be the last time we fall! We live in a fallen world. Do you find yourself doing the things you don’t want to do and not doing the things that you want to do? In heaven, we will fall for the last time...we will fall to our knees to worship at the feet of God. 8. ¡Cuando llegamos al continued on page 9 “Getting to Heaven” from page 4 cielo será la ultim ves que nos caemos! Vivemos en mundo caeido. ¿Te encuentras haciendo cosas que no quieres hacer y no haciendo las cosas que quieres? En el cielo nos caemos por la ultima ves...nos caemos a las rodillas para alabar a los pies de Dios. 9. In heaven, we will take part in awesome worship! Don’t you love great worship? Worship full of energy, excitement, smiling faces, lifted hearts and hands. Worship in heaven is going to be out of this world! 9. !En el cielo, particiemos en alabanza fabulosa!. ¿Amas a la alabanza llena de alegría? Alabanza llena de energia, emoción, caras sonriendo, manos y corazones levantados. !La alabanza del cielo será fuera de este mundo! 10. We will get to see God! (The Father, The Son Jesus and The Holy Spirit) 1 John Page 4 have made a new friend. ...BUT, here I sit, a “stay-at-home dog”. I know I am a comfort to Kelli, as she truly has an empty nest now, with both daughters out of the household. (By the way, don’t ask me about the term “empty nest”....I have never seen any of my family fly or eat bird seed...we will just leave it at that...I think they need to get out more. Guess that is why they take vacations). “...this is the resting place, let the weary rest; ...” (Isaiah 28:12) and it calmed them immediately. The teachings of Biblical principles are missing in today’s schools. These are the principles that allow children to learn how to better cope with life’s difficulties. Katie Marks, a ninth grader at MCCS states, “At a Christian School you get Bible teachings, Bible journal writing, and prayer. God is the center of education...” No matter what parents are looking for in a school, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of every available option. There has never been a time in history when it has been so vital to consider the type of education that children are receiving. Curriculums are changing, standards are evolv- ing, and the atmosphere in school is not what it once was; let us consider what is best for our children’s future. Proverbs 22:6King James Version (KJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

QUICK’S As you read in Kelli’s column, my family went on vacation... WITHOUT me. But I was fed, watered, and excercised by a friend---even went to the beach and the local woods---so all is well.... ...BUT I know that my family would have benefited from having me along on their trip. I could’ve stretched out on the three laps in the back seat, and enjoyed all of the car snacks, keeping the area crumb-free. If the A/C was too much for somebody, I could’ve kept them warm. I could have listened for rattlers in the Riggins area and barked them away. And, oh, if I had seen a bear..... uh oh...hopefully, the bear would have thought I was one of them, and I would de mi Padre hay muchas viviendas; si no fuera así, ya se lo habría dicho a ustedes. Voy a prepararles un lugar. Y si me voy y se lo preparo, vendré para llevármelos conmigo. Así ustedes estarán donde yo esté.” Juan 14:1-3 (Thanks to Steve Malone) (Gracias a Steve Malone) If you aren’t sure of where you will go when your life is finished here on earth, I would encourage you to find the peace of mind and assurance of your final home. Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the life. “No one comes to the Father (God) except through Me.’’ John 14:6. Si no estas seguro de donde llegaras cuando tu vida se completa aqui, te animo buscar esa paz de mente y seguransa en tu hogar final. Jesus dijo que El es el camino, la verdad y la vida. “Nadie llega al Padre sino por mí.” Juan 14:6. Blessings! ¡Bendiciones! Underwriter “To Train Up a Child” from page 1 The POST Puppy 3:2 says, ‘’Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is.” Jesus said, ‘’Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am.” John 14:1-3 10. !Podemos ver a Dios!

Newport Nazarene Youth Group will kick-off with a “Back to School Bash” on Wednesday, September 17th from 6-7:30 pm at 227 NW 12th street. Call Andrew at 541-265-6684 for more details. Although HangTime has continued throughout the summer, Saturday, September 13th marks an epic event you won’t want to miss! HangTime continues to offer a safe, no-pressure environment to hangout with friends for teens (13-19) at the House of Refuge, 310A NW Gilbert Way, Newport, from 7:30pmmidnight. Youth enjoy free food, movies, games, and hot tub. This will also be the only HangTime event this month (normally every two weeks). Come celebrate the start of the new school year by inviting as many new and old friends as possible-a prize for the person who brings the most new people to join the fun! Remember this is OUTREACH…so teens who know Christ should be inviting students who don’t yet have a relationship with Jesus Christ to come with them. This will also be a potluck-so tune up those culinary skills and bring something to share. Don’t like to cook, no problem…just come enjoy lots of the usual fare-pizzas, snacks, and sodas. If you have a birthday in September, let Carol know so we can celebrate it with friends at HangTime!! Call or email Carol Walsh for more info: 541-264-8393 or [email protected]. (The next HangTime will be Saturday, October 4th) Participation in the national See You At The Pole (SYATP) has become a regular event in our community. This student led event encourages students to “ask the Lord how prayer might change them, their schools, their communities…their world. And then do it. From the first year in 1990, See You At The Pole has been about one simple act-prayer. Today, SYATP is still about students humbling themselves, turning to God, and interceding for their generation. Not just pray, but seek His face, and turn from sin. It’s not just a day. Global Week of Student Prayer September 21-27, 2014, encourages students to find new and unique ways, places, and times to pray throughout the week. At the center of the week, on Wednesday, September 24th students will meet at their high school flag pole for corporate prayer and worship about 30-45 minutes before their first class joining other students around the globe praying for their school, friends, families, churches, and communities. This year’s theme follows Paul’s famous passage on the armor of God, challenging and encouraging Christ followers to stand strong in the Lord and be His representatives to share the Good News of the Gospel: Ephesians 6:18a. Whether you attend public school, private school, or home school, you are invited to gather your friends wherever and whenever and pray! As of yet a student has not stepped forward to organize and promote the event this year. — Inferno Out — Lecrae has been shaking up the hip-hop genre for the past few years with his Christian based lyrics and attitude. He is always looking for a way to step it up and push his own and the music worlds boundaries. His previous album “Gravity” hit #1 on multiple hip-hop charts and won many awards in the genre, but in recent interviews he mentioned that “Gravity” Page 8 wasn’t what he wanted it to be. While I really enjoyed Gravity I can understand where he is coming from, which made me even more excited for his latest effort, “Anomaly”. “Anomaly” means something that deviates from the norm, and Lecrae definitely does that. “Anomaly” opens up with Outsiders; a slower track that gave me instant chills once the hook started. Lecrae kills it with this intro and sets the pace for the rest of the record. Next up is the interesting track “Welcome to America”. It sounds a lot like a polished version of old Lecrae, including the flow and repetition of the chorus, but also contains the maturity of the new Lecrae. The next 3 tracks were all released previously to the album as singles. “Say I Wont” (feat. Andy Mineo) has incredible rapping from Lecrae and Andy in front of a phenomenal beat. “Nuthin” is a great radio song with a crazy hook and chorus, and “Fear” is a soulful, emotional song with a chill atmosphere. The title track is next and definitely doesn’t disappoint. “Anomaly” is hard hitting, beautifully rapped and wonderfully produced. The lyrics are a good commentary on today’s culture and music, “All this killin’ but where the bodies at; All this money but where the Bugattis at”, and contains a great message about how God made us to be anomalies and not conform. “Timepiece”, “Dirty Water”, and “Wish” are all fantastic tracks, but on first listen not big standouts. “Wish” has a radio friendly chorus and impeccable rapping, “Dirty Water” has a great message, and “Timepiece” is really well produced. After those 3 is one of my favorites, “Runner”. It has a fantastic beat, some funny voice acting, background sounds that fit in flawlessly, and a flow that kills. “All I Need Is You” is a great track that while originally written as a love letter to his wife, can also be relatable to anyone. The next track “Give In” is a radio anthem. This song belongs on the top of every chart possible. The hook, beat, and verses are all extremely well done and would be great exposure for Lecrae to preach to nonchristians. “Good, Bad, and Ugly” is hands down the best song Lecrae has ever done. The lyrics tell an incredibly relatable story and the singing brings chills through your whole body. Everything VR1: Jungle Fever By Rebekah Borden Editor’s note: Rebekah Borden, a teacher at Mid-Coast Christian School in Toledo, has created a story for young people. Enjoy “VR1: Jungle Fever”. Read the continuing adventures in future POSTs, too! She slowly crawled toward the camp; her eyes watchful for any movement. She half crawled, half walked from bush to bush, avoiding bright spotlights and enemy eyes. Moving from one bush to another she kept a watchful eye on the main gate growing closer with each step. She finally reached the outer wall. She stood there waiting for the guard to make his rounds. “Come on where is he?” She thought to herself. She didn’t have to wait long. A loud click was heard as the guard unlocked the small door to the right of the gate. He stepped out and turned to close the door but was interrupted with a swift karate chop to the back of the neck. Before the guard slumped to the ground, she caught him and positioned him in a sit- door to make sure no other guards were around. Then she dragged the body of the guard to the nearest, and smallest, ued to drag the body in. Once her eyes fully adjusted to the dim light, she scanned the room.

She found rope and proceeded to tie up her new friend along with a gag for his mouth. As she peeked out the door of the supply shed, she took a survey of the compound. To the left of her was the main gate and another small shed on the other side opposite of her. The rest of the compound included five huts of various sizes and one very large one in the center, probably the commander’s hut. The Intel stated that two of the huts were for the army’s men to bunk and one was the mess tent, while the remaining two were for prisoners. These were the smallest of all the other huts. That is where she was heading next. She had to get to him before it was too late. Will she make it in time? Who is she rescuing? Find out next month in Jungle Fever. KING DAVID REAPS WHAT HE SOWED by Roger Roach, Freedom Sharing Jesus in this song is perfect, so much so it even brought me to tears. Just listen to it. I could talk all day about the final 2 songs “Broken” and “Messengers”, but that would take forever and I have a word limit. Let’s just say that the end of “Anomaly” is worthy of a Grammy by itself. Listen to this album if you have any desire for hip-hop or even just fresh, new, hard-hitting Christian music. Lecrae shows with “Anomaly” that he is an anomaly and that we are all also anomalies in the eyes of God. — INFERNO OUT Roger Roach can be heard on the air at Winds of Praise Broadcasting / KWPB-LP (see Programming Guide, page 12). Roger’s ministry is Freedom Sharing Jesus. King David was the second King of Judah and Israel. He reined as King from 1002 BC to 970 BC. Before he was King, Saul needed someone to fight Goliath the giant Philistine so David defeated Goliath, Saul made David captain of his army for this victory. David became a great warrior and Saul was jealous and want him dead, Eventually Saul because his jealousy lost a battle and fell on his own sword and died. His oldest son Jonathan was also killed. So we know that Saul lost favor with God and he reaped what he sowed. A lot of times in our walk in God we get angry or jealous and we will try to hurt or harm someone and we reap what we sow. We open ourselves up for trouble. If we do something we now is wrong and we have bad things come out of it. It is because we purposed in our heart’s to do wrong. If we purpose in our hearts to do wrong we open ourselves up to reap what we sow just like Saul. Now David chose to sin also. While David was King and he fell in love with Bathsheba and had her husband killed. This made the Lord very angry at David, the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to punished him, with three things from the Lord. His sword would never leave his house, his wives would sleep with other men and he would loose his son. These and other things happen to David, because he decided to commit sin, so he reaped God’s wrath. When we as God’s chosen choose to take thing into our own hands and don’t trust God and seek revenge or vengeance we open ourselves up to reap what we sow. If we chose to steal and get caught its our fault not anyone else. If we choose to do drugs and get strung out we reap what we sow. So we as Christians need to start sowing good seed so we can reap the blessing of God not the cursing of the enemy. I purpose in my heart to think about the consequences of what could happen before I take any kind of actions in my life and I will pray and ask God for his will first then wait on him.

KING DAVID REAPS WHAT HE SOWED by Roger Roach, Freedom Sharing Jesus in this song is perfect, so much so it even brought me to tears. Just listen to it. I could talk all day about the final 2 songs “Broken” and “Messengers”, but that would take forever and I have a word limit. Let’s just say that the end of “Anomaly” is worthy of a Grammy by itself. Listen to this album if you have any desire for hip-hop or even just fresh, new, hard-hitting Christian music. Lecrae shows with “Anomaly” that he is an anomaly and that we are all also anomalies in the eyes of God. — INFERNO OUT Roger Roach can be heard on the air at Winds of Praise Broadcasting / KWPB-LP (see Programming Guide, page 12). Roger’s ministry is Freedom Sharing Jesus. King David was the second King of Judah and Israel. He reined as King from 1002 BC to 970 BC. Before he was King, Saul needed someone to fight Goliath the giant Philistine so David defeated Goliath, Saul made David captain of his army for this victory. David became a great warrior and Saul was jealous and want him dead, Eventually Saul because his jealousy lost a battle and fell on his own sword and died. His oldest son Jonathan was also killed. So we know that Saul lost favor with God and he reaped what he sowed. A lot of times in our walk in God we get angry or jealous and we will try to hurt or harm someone and we reap what we sow. We open ourselves up for trouble. If we do something we now is wrong and we have bad things come out of it. It is because we purposed in our heart’s to do wrong. If we purpose in our hearts to do wrong we open ourselves up to reap what we sow just like Saul. Now David chose to sin also. While David was King and he fell in love with Bathsheba and had her husband killed. This made the Lord very angry at David, the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to punished him, with three things from the Lord. His sword would never leave his house, his wives would sleep with other men and he would loose his son. These and other things happen to David, because he decided to commit sin, so he reaped God’s wrath. When we as God’s chosen choose to take thing into our own hands and don’t trust God and seek revenge or vengeance we open ourselves up to reap what we sow. If we chose to steal and get caught its our fault not anyone else. If we choose to do drugs and get strung out we reap what we sow. So we as Christians need to start sowing good seed so we can reap the blessing of God not the cursing of the enemy. I purpose in my heart to think about the consequences of what could happen before I take any kind of actions in my life and I will pray and ask God for his will first then wait on him. Read Gal. 6: 7-8 www.rogerroach. com. Page 5 Looking Forward to Getting to Heaven - Mirando Adelante Llegar al Cielo By Donna Popovich Pastor, Worship and Healing Center, Lincoln City I recently ran across an encouraging message on reasons why heaven is going to be FUN. Sharing this with you is fun for me too. Hace poco que me encontré un mensaje en rasones porque el cielo va ser tiempo de diversión. Me divierto en compartír con ustedes tambien. Have you looked forward to a special day or time, vacation or a holiday? You find yourself anxiously awaiting the appointed time to arrive, don’t you? Driving to the airport is fun because you are going somewhere, having a check in your hand and going to the bank is fun, going to the doctor to hear your baby’s heartbeat is fun. ¿Han esperado un día o tiempo especial, como vacaciónes o día de fiesta? ¿Esperan con anticipación que llege el tiempo, verdad? Manejando al aeropuerto es diversión porque vas alguna parte, teniendo un cheque en la mano y ir al banco es diversión, ir al medico a oir el latido de tu bebe es diversión. But sometimes, there is not much joy seen in our eyes or heard in our voice. Sometimes it is hard to keep that bounce in our steps. We need something to keep us going, something to look forward to, a hope that can never perish, spoil or fade away. Pero a veces no hay gozo en nuestros ojos o en nuestras voces. A veces es difícil tener el animo en nuestros pasados. Necesitamos algo que nos da animo para segir, algo que esperar, una esperanza que no se desaparece, estropece o que no se desvanecer. Those of us who have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, know that this world is not our home, we are just passing through. We are headed home, HEAVEN, and it is going to be fun Nosotros que tenemos relación personal con Jesucristo, sabemos que este mundo no es nuestra casa, nomas estamos pasando por aqui. !Vamos a nuestro hogar, al CIELO y nos vamos a divertir! Just think about these points about getting to heaven: Nomas piensen en estos puntos del cielo: 1. We get a new body! Our earthly body gets tired, feels pain, gets sick, and with age, moves slower, sags, our eyes dim, and things fall out, like hair and teeth. In heaven, we get a new body, a better one, an eternal one, one that doesn’t get tired, feel pain, get sick or fall. 1. ¡Recibemos un cuerpo nuevo! Nuestro cuerpo de este mundo se cansa, siente dolor, se enferma, mueve mas despacio, y con edad se cae, nuestros ojos boran y cosas se caen, como el pelo y los dientes. En el cielo recibemos un cuerpo nuevo, uno que no se cansa, siente dolor, enferma, o cae. 2. We’ll get to live in a custom made house! Yes, a perfect house created by God especially for us. No leaky faucets, walls that need painting, roofs that need repair. 2. ¡Podemos vivir en casa construida especialmente para nosotros! Si, casa perfecta, creada especialmente por Dios. No hay grifo que tiene fuga, paredes que necesitan pintar o techos que necesitan reparos. 3. We’ll get to eat deli- cious food! Imagine eating all our favorite foods, laid out buffet style, with no waiting lines and no check to pay. 3. ¡Podemos comer comida deliciosa! Imaginensen comiendo toda nuestra comida favorita, como estilo buffet, sin lineas de esperar y sin cheque para pagar. 4. We get to talk with Bible characters! We’ll get to ask David what it was like to fight Goliath, Noah what is was like building the ark, Mary about being Jesus’ mom. Who are you looking forward to talking to? 4. !Podemos hablar con carácters de la Biblia! Podemos preguntarle a David que como fué peliar con Goliat, a Noé que como fué cuando construó el arco o a Maria que como fue ser la mama de Jesus. ¿Con quien esperas hablar tu? 5. We’ll get to see and speak with our loved ones! I’m looking forward to talking with my family and friends that have gone on before me. And we will all be kind and loving! 5. ¡Podemos ver y hablar con nuestros queridos! Yo espero hablar con mi familia y amigos que se fueron antes de mi. !Y todos seremos amables y amandonos! 6. We’ll get to live in a perfect world! Heaven will be a perfect place to live. Creation which has suffered because of the fall of man will be restored for mankind. Paradise will be regained. 6. !Podemos vivir en mundo perfecto! El cielo va a ser el lugar perfecto. Toda creación ha sufrido por la caida de hombre. Paraiso será recuperado. 7. Heaven is going to be a place of the ‘’no mores!” No more poverty, hunger, thirst, scorching heat, freezing cold, crying pain, bad guys, impure things. 7. !El cielo va ser lugar de “no mas”! No mas probesa, hambre, sed, calor de quemadura, frio glacial, dolor lloroso, hombres malos, cosas impuras. 8. When we get to heaven, it will be the last time we fall! We live in a fallen world. Do you find yourself doing the things you don’t want to do and not doing the things that you want to do? In heaven, we will fall for the last time...we will fall to our knees to worship at the feet of God. 8. ¡Cuando llegamos al continued on page 9 “Getting to Heaven” from page 4 cielo será la ultim ves que nos caemos! Vivemos en mundo caeido. ¿Te encuentras haciendo cosas que no quieres hacer y no haciendo las cosas que quieres? En el cielo nos caemos por la ultima ves...nos caemos a las rodillas para alabar a los pies de Dios. 9. In heaven, we will take part in awesome worship! Don’t you love great worship? Worship full of energy, excitement, smiling faces, lifted hearts and hands. Worship in heaven is going to be out of this world! 9. !En el cielo, particiemos en alabanza fabulosa!. ¿Amas a la alabanza llena de alegría? Alabanza llena de energia, emoción, caras sonriendo, manos y corazones levantados. !La alabanza del cielo será fuera de este mundo! 10. We will get to see God! (The Father, The Son Jesus and The Holy Spirit) 1 John Page 4 have made a new friend. ...BUT, here I sit, a “stay-at-home dog”. I know I am a comfort to Kelli, as she truly has an empty nest now, with both daughters out of the household. (By the way, don’t ask me about the term “empty nest”....I have never seen any of my family fly or eat bird seed...we will just leave it at that...I think they need to get out more. Guess that is why they take vacations). “...this is the resting place, let the weary rest; ...” (Isaiah 28:12) and it calmed them immediately. The teachings of Biblical principles are missing in today’s schools. These are the principles that allow children to learn how to better cope with life’s difficulties. Katie Marks, a ninth grader at MCCS states, “At a Christian School you get Bible teachings, Bible journal writing, and prayer. God is the center of education...” No matter what parents are looking for in a school, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of every available option. There has never been a time in history when it has been so vital to consider the type of education that children are receiving. Curriculums are changing, standards are evolving, and the atmosphere in school is not what it once was; let us consider what is best for our children’s future. Proverbs 22:6King James Version (KJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

QUICK’S As you read in Kelli’s column, my family went on vacation... WITHOUT me. But I was fed, watered, and excercised by a friend---even went to the beach and the local woods---so all is well.... ...BUT I know that my family would have benefited from having me along on their trip. I could’ve stretched out on the three laps in the back seat, and enjoyed all of the car snacks, keeping the area crumb-free. If the A/C was too much for somebody, I could’ve kept them warm. I could have listened for rattlers in the Riggins area and barked them away. And, oh, if I had seen a bear..... uh oh...hopefully, the bear would have thought I was one of them, and I would de mi Padre hay muchas viviendas; si no fuera así, ya se lo habría dicho a ustedes. Voy a prepararles un lugar. Y si me voy y se lo preparo, vendré para llevármelos conmigo. Así ustedes estarán donde yo esté.” Juan 14:1-3 (Thanks to Steve Malone) (Gracias a Steve Malone) If you aren’t sure of where you will go when your life is finished here on earth, I would encourage you to find the peace of mind and assurance of your final home. Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the life. “No one comes to the Father (God) except through Me.’’ John 14:6. Si no estas seguro de donde llegaras cuando tu vida se completa aqui, te animo buscar esa paz de mente y seguransa en tu hogar final. Jesus dijo que El es el camino, la verdad y la vida. “Nadie llega al Padre sino por mí.” Juan 14:6. Blessings! ¡Bendiciones! Underwriter “To Train Up a Child” from page 1 The POST Puppy 3:2 says, ‘’Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is.” Jesus said, ‘’Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am.” John 14:1-3 10. !Podemos ver a Dios! (El Padre, El Hijo Jesus y El Espiritu Santo) 1 Juan 3:2 dice, “Queridos hermanos, ahora somos hijos de Dios, pero todavía no se ha manifestado lo que habremos de ser. Sabemos, sin embargo, que cuando Cristo venga seremos semejantes a él, porque lo veremos tal como él es.” Jesus dijo, “No se angustien. Confíen en Dios, y confíen también en mí. En el hogar “Radio Update” from page 1 hear God say to me... “it’s too late. You’ve rejected Me all of your days, and now its time for you to receive what you’ve chosen. Please come to Jesus.

Ed is Worship Pastor at Newport Naz, and Charla is the pianist. The Wheeler’s four offspring are living Christian lives today, and serving the Lord. I asked Charla, “Just how do you raise committed Christian kids in today’s semi pagan society?” She graciously filled three pages with two thousand words of thoughts and remembrances. And I’m supposed to condense them to four hundred words! Sheesh! I think the best paragraph was about developing a philosophy. How preemptive! How brilliant! To have a head start deciding what kind of people she wished to raise is HUGE. Today the Wheelers reap the benefits of that early philosophy. “For I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.” 3 John verse 4. Charla began with the firstborn cooing in the crib. Reading that babies sleep twenty hours per day, she kept kid-one awake four hours during the day so night hours were only for sleeping. She said for the most part it worked (some say it doesn’t always). Brave mother, this. Just imagine the criticism that aroused. Ditto when she and Ed decided to homeschool their kids (she’d heard the usual objections and did it anyway). Today these “pitiable” kids have advanced degrees, good jobs, serve the Lord, are critical thinkers, and are accomplished musicians! Here’s more about ”Raising Christian Kids.” Talk and Listen AKA Discuss. When her kids wanted to watch a TV show about which she had misgivings, Charla agreed to allow it, but she would also watch it. During commercials, discussions ensued such as, THANKS TO ALL Dan LunDy Dan Lundy, Messenger Ministries I would like to thank everyone who contributed time, effort, skills, good, gifts, dollars, food, etc., to the Heartbeat Of Creator Potlatch. We had a great time. Many people from many tribes showed up here in Siletz for the potlatch. As many of you know, this potlatch (give-away) started near Fairbanks, Alaska in 2007. It was the Salmon family’s way of honoring their grandfather, Rev. Doctor David Salmon for his leadership of their tribe and their family. Rita Eaglehead, a granddaughter of Dr. Salmon, was present at the Siletz potlatch and played a part in the festivities. She told some of the history of her people. She shared her heart with us. Some of the ministry folks who showed up were: Battleaxe Ministries—Rita Eaglehead Firestarter Ministries—Pat and Gary Walker Winds of Praise Broadcasting— Scott and Kelli Albright Soaring Eagle Ministries—Lura and Gang Sacred Ground Baptist Church— Rick and Sherry Russell Messenger Ministries—Dan and LaRita Lundy Drumspeaker to the Nations— Jerry and Leslie Chapman There were others. I apologize for not listing them but my memory is a little slow right now. Perhaps I’m not as young as I once was. Jesus sent lots of help to this gathering. People served as security, kitchen staff, administative staff, set-up, tear-down, gift distribution and prayer. There was prayer of intercession, healing and peace. In speaking for myself, I can say that this gathering was gratifying and tiring. It was good. It was historic, another first for Sacred Ground and Messenger Ministries. LaRita and I will put our concentration back on the boat now. Hopefully we will be going north soon. That is up to our Creator Jesus to decide for His timing is perfect. To the Kosydar family, thank you for the wonderful beef. Many were fed. To Marvin Reid, thank you for the salmon. We loved every bite of it. To all who gave and served, thank you. The Lord has taken note of your service to Him and to His people. Blessings to all. “What are they trying to teach you here?” That didn’t turn out to be so enjoyable, so the show was given up. Teamwork. Ed and Charla agreed on major decisions. Be Educated. Charla had worked in a preschool, so children were no mystery. She also read every Dr. James Dobson book such as Dare to Discipline and listened to his radio show, “Focus on the Family.” She read Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore’s books like Home Grown Kids. The Bible was always a source of wisdom. Accentuate the Positive, Eliminate the Negative. Remember that song from the forties? That was Charla’s manipulative genius regarding choices of friends. She encouraged and invited friends with positive values and influence, and closely monitored relationships of the other kind. Humility. They called upon the Lord for His promised help. The Wheeler four were steeped in Bible truths, whether through home schooling curriculum, church involvement, or family devotions. “That’s what this family did,” Charla told me. A fine template that worked. Congratulations! Stop in & visit us for lunch. 265-7822 340 N. Coast Hwy Let Adeo bring quality care to the comfort of your home.

He had been serving as a pastor since he was 12 years old. 84 years of pastoral ministry is a very long time. He told me soberly, “I was never called to be a pastor. I was called to be a servant. I’ve served as a carpenter, dishwasher, landscaper, janitor, babysitter, pasPage 2 “Finding Peace” Oregon where our youngest ran in a 1/2 marathon. After cheering with the crowds at the finish line, it was on to the mountains of Idaho for more vacation time. I had somehow tweaked my back a week earlier, and so I was the fussy one ---despite multiple games of Madlibs--- stopping to buy Tylenol and sometimes needing help getting out of the car, and using “icy-hot” packs during the ride. I was ready to relax! Because of a late departure after the marathon and of my aforementioned pain, we changed plans and stayed at Scott’s mom’s home; Miriam was already with her daughters in the mountains. Oh, the sweetness of Grandma’s house. Though the hour was late, Emily promptly set about showing photos of family, educating her new husband about the clan. After sleep and bowls of cold cereal the next morning we headed for McCall, ID. A boat ride on Payette Lake was in store for our family, which they loved (I opted out, but happy to visit in the spacious vacation home of Scott’s little sister and her husband). A homemade gourmet barbeque followed... ahhh, the life. After dark we made our way to nearby Camp Stover, Scott’s childhood church camp, where we had arranged to spend a night. The small, rickety bed was amazingly comfortable, and Scott and I slept wonderfully. Scott later said it must have been the quietness and peace there. Tall pine trees and dusty ground dotted with wildflowers; the rustic cabins; and gurlgling Goose Creek make up the setting. But it is not just the beauty and memories that makes old Camp Stover special. To think of all the prayers and worship that have been offered there (since the 1920’s) and the ever-listening ears and blessing of God....I beleive that is all a part of it. During our camp visit, we stopped for coffee in the home of the husband of Scott’s cousin. It turned out to be another rich time, listening to Gil’s testimony (a lad originally from Colombia, and living on his own in NY as a teenager, and his conversion from Buddahism to Christianity later). He and his wife hope to bring a revitalizing of faith of sorts to the dear campers and residents of the area. We all joined in prayer for one another. “Encourage one another...” scripture. A stay at the vacation home of another one of Scott’s sisters followed...this time, a Chalk Talk wiTh CoaCh RiCk Russell “Consumed to serve” tor, counselor, friend.” His answer surprised and inspired me. That day I clearly understood my calling. From that day I have been consumed to serve. “Based on the gift you have received, everyone should use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God. If anyone speaks, his speech should be like the oracles of God; if anyone serves , his service should be from the strength God provides, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and power forever and ever. Amen.” I Peter 4:10-11. God has placed a consuming fire inside of us to serve others. However, in this selfserving world in which we live, it is too easy for us to quench the fire with a “me first” mentality. The Apostle Paul daily crucified the flesh of self service so that his burning desire to serve others would remain the forefront of his mind. This passion to serve must come from the heart of a crucified self I see serving God as serving my wife, children, grand children, church, wrestling team, or total stranger. I constantly look for ways to serve others. It truly is a consuming passion in my life. It is the way God has used me and taught me to draw others into his kingdom. The world will only know the love of God by seeing how we Christians love one another. In my passion to serve, I’ve planted a sinner’s orchard, chased a sinner’s boor hog around a pen to get him into an awaiting truck, babysat a sinner’s kids, managed a sinner’s motel so he could take his wife on a date, poured a sin- ner’s drink, washed a sinner’s dishes, built a sinner’s house, fixed a sinner’s car, tied a sinner’s shoes, mowed a sinner’s lawn, sat by a sinner’s bedside as he took his last breath. The Jesus our world will see is the Jesus inside of us. There is no greater joy than the privilege of serving others with the love of God. Let us rise above our generation of selfishness and become consumed with a passion to serve others. “lodge” decor home in remote Riggins. I set about snapping photos of her home, of the hills and a few visiting deer. The next morning, we helped to gather fruit from the ground and trees. Another great time of enjoying God’s creation again. With fall upon us, I am thankful to be able to have gotten away for relaxation and a fresh perspective of things--- and to find out what God has for me next.

Winds of Praise Broadcasting Statement of Faith We believe: That the Bible is God's inspired, authoritative, infallible Word. 2 Tim 3:16, 17 That there is one God, eternally existent in three personalities; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 2 Cor. 13:14 That Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, sacrificed His own life by shedding His blood on the cross for our sins, and was resurrected by God from death to provide eternal life to those who accept Him as Lord and Savior and is soon coming back for His church. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. "No one comes to the Father, but through Me." John 14:6 That the Holy Spirit, the Helper, is active, sent by the Father, dwells within us, and daily leads us a teaches us in all things. John 14:16, 17 That Jesus Christ is the head of His church, and that His church is composed of individual members and fellowships created to serve unique yet necessary functions and that love is the greatest of all gifts given to His church. 1 Cor. 12 & 13 Winds of Praise Officers and Board of Directors: Scott Albright . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Sacred Ground Baptist-President Kelli Albright . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We all have questions, such as, “Is my child getting the instruction that he/ she needs?” or “Are my children in the best environment possible in their most formative years?” As an educator of ten years, I ask myself the same questions about the type of education I would want my child To Train Up a Child to have. opposed to public school I have taught at both where teachers are lucky a private school and if they have less than a public school and I thirty students in attencan attest to the perfordance. Another benefit of mance levels and enviprivate school is the indironment of each one.

It is easier small classroom sizes allow to identify a child’s aptitude to attending MCCS he was teachers to work one-on-one in a classroom of ten students, an eighth grader in public FREE school. He can see a difference between the help and instruction he receives in the classroom, “Everyone learns differently. Here, you are taught in the style that you learn…you get more personalized help.” A major plus of a Christian school is the fact that Biblical teaching and prayer can take place openly in the classroom. I can recall multiple times when I was able to pray with students continued on page 4 10% of the September POST advertising will go to Mid-Coast Christian School by Scott Albright listen live: Windsofpraise.com During the day, for my income, I work selling coffee and cappucinno products to various businesses throughout Lincoln County. I was in a small store that was busy with customers and as I was cleaning the cappucinno machine, I was listening to the store owner interact with the people. When the group cleared, I told the merchant that I was impressed by the way she treated her customers. She was polite, informative, helpful, and efficient. She thanked me for noticing, and then proceeded to tell me that not all of her customers were so nice. There was an older man who came in the other day, she said, who wanted to rent Radio Update a crab pot. She started the process and told the gentleman that there would be a $60 deposit for each crab ring. The fellow began to get upset. “$60? That’s rediculous”, he says. “Why, I can go down to the local box store and buy one for $30.” The store owner explained that these crab rings were not the same as the ones available through the mentioned store, and that if they lose one of these, they have to pay $60 to replace it. “Well, I’m not paying a $60 deposit”, said he. And he keeps it up. “You know what”, says the merchant...”these crab rings are no longer for rent”. “ What?” says the man? “I no longer want to rent to you”, she says. “These crab rings are no longer for rent”. Wait a minute, “I do want to rent a crab pot”, he says. And he calmed down, and his attitude suddenly changed. And I thought to myself, someday, it will be like this for people who stubbornly and consistently reject the kindess and mercy and forgiveness of God. There will be a day when it will be too late. What a terrible day that will be. Please do not be one of the stubborn ones. Don’t be so proud in yourself that you keep rejecting the Living God who one day will judge all of humankind. PO BOx 491 NewPOrt, Or 97365 Now is the day of open forgiveness. It is extended to you through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If anyone were to ask you, I’m sure you know the facts.
