Perry Township Monthly in Southport Police Department swears in seven police officers and recognizes promotions in family-oriented ceremony The Southport Police Department held a pitch-in on Sept. 4 to swear-in seven new officers to the department, as well as recognize officers who have earned promotions. “We’re trying hard to work to have a community-based police department and a family-based police department,” said Major David Howe. “This was an opportunity to have the officers recognized for promotion and have their families there. The challenge for running a department for him is we don’t all get to see each other all the time. (The day) meant so much as far as comradery.” The evening gave officers’ families an opportunity to participate in a pinning ceremony for officers who were previously promoted. Additional officers were also promoted and new explorers, part of a youth training program, were introduced. The evening concluded with a video tribute to IMPD Officer Perry Renn, stating “we will always get out of our cars” followed by participation in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The newly appointed officers are Matthew Carroll, Nicholas Rose, Jonathon Cook, Marcus Harris, Gabriel Harman, Ryan Bowersox and William Ballard. Promotions were included Bob Curl-Assistant Chief of Police, Paul Tutsie-Detective, Kyle Vaughn-Sergeant, Nathanael Williams-Corporal, Dawn Arthur-Corporal, Aaron Allan-Corporal and Joseph Parnin-Corporal. Recognized Explorers were Christian Howe, Ashley Butler-Snyder, Austin Stover, Robert Hodge, Pinned Officers were, David Howe-Major, Ginger Robertson-Captain, Matthew Wright-Lieutenant, Lucas Quinlin-Lieutenant and David Hodge-Sergeant.

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the Southside Art League held its 23rd Anniversary Competitive Membership Show at the Greenwood Public Library on Sept. 5. Art work from the show will be on display in the library through September. “After 50 years, we are so pleased to be the wonderful organization we are,” said Marge Dietel, gallery coordinator, in an introductory speech. “We have a good foundation to build on and it’s all due to dedication, volunteering.” The show was judged by Earl Snellenberger, a professor emeritus of art at the University of Indianapolis, and first through third place winners were named for both professional and non-professional works. Best of show was Donna Shortt for her painting, "Red Roof." For the professional division, Beverly Mathis of Greenwood took first place, Matthew Sheek of Greenwood took second place and James Stalhut took third place. For the non-professional division, Marianne Hamilton was awarded first place, Linda Helburn second place and Jan Good third place. “It’s the first time I’ve entered a painting in one of these (competitions),” said Janet Boyle, a White River Township resident of Bargersville. “It’s fun to see all of the other artists. It’s an impressive variety of work.” For more information, visit southsideartleague.org.

Clash of Clans at World Championship Race offers family tradition and controversy FEATURE By Torry Stiles Saturday night was wild at the corner of Kitley Avenue and Brookville Road. Thousands of fans from Connecticut to California, from Michigan to Florida were at the Indianapolis Speedrome for the 38th running of the World Figure-8 Championship 3-Hour Endurance Race. The Speedrome was built in 1941 on Indy's Eastside and was originally made for the open wheel midget racers of the day. By the late 1940's stock car "jalopies" were the growing craze and novelty events such as demolition derbies and the Figure-8 race were presented. Greenwood businessman John Stiles bought the track in 1977 and launched "The 3-Hour" as a season-ending, open competition extravaganza for the Saturday night racer. The race's format of being a timed event that adds more cars as cars drop out means that no one knows how long it will last or how many will drive in it. Past events have been anywhere from 253 laps in the rain-and-snowshortened first race to more than 500 laps a few times. Some years more than 75 cars entered the race with more than 50 on the track at one time. Throw in the controlled chaos that is a Figure-8 race, and it’s a wild ride. Just as the Indy 500 is famous for its Unsers, Andretti's and Foyts or NASCAR is known for its Petty's, Earnharts and Allisons the 3-Hour has seen its share of families.

"I was on my way to work when I got the call from my wife to tell me what was going on. When I got into work I tuned on the TV and watched in shock what was going on. I probably didn’t get much done that day because much of it was spent reflecting on the events." Jeff Chasteen, Perry Township "I was at my orthodontist getting my braces fixed for a monthly checkup. I didn’t really understand what was going on. I was probably about 11 years old." Britann Stegemiller, Franklin Township "I was at work. I used to be the chief operating officer at City Bus Company. I was in my office and one of my secretaries came in and said a small plane had hit the World Trade Center. We thought that was very unusual but we went into the driver’s break room to see everyone in the building gathered around the TVs in there and looked on the TVs and saw the World Trade Center smoking. I called my wife. It was a tough day for everyone. I came home and spent the evening in front of the TV watching what happened." Kyle Lomax, Franklin Township "We were down at the casino in Tunica, Miss. and it came over the TV. Everyone was in total shock. It was horrible. We didn’t even feel like doing anything anymore there. I think we just went back to the hotel and just watched TV."

Scientists and researchers may have stumbled upon a hidden equation in the career climbing ladder formula. A recent study published in the journal Psychological Science, people are more inclined to be decisive and make rational business decisions after only 15 minutes of meditating. Regular meditators also generally receive higher performance ratings and are less likely to quit. The study also found that bosses or managers in stressful leadership positions who meditate may be better leaders. – Yahoo Health The Southside Times COVER STORY ss-times.com • Week of September 11-17, 2014 7 EMPOWERING and ENCOURAGING ENGAGEMENT Lifebridge Community experiences growth through its relocation of its Beech Grove facility Holly G. plays Bingo during the after school program at Lifebrige.

The meeting, held in Sacred Heart Parish Hall on South Meridian Street, was overseen by Sacred Heart officials as well as Old Southside Neighborhood Association President, Judith Essex. Members of the Southside Catholic Business Professionals, Stadium Village Business Association, and local business owners were also in attendance.

We dreamed we heard his prayer While he waited to die. No, not where he rests tonight. He endured the troubled main. This we know--his spirit still lives To wander home again. He’s coming home, he’s coming home With his courage still in form, With the soul of a distant child Caught in the desert storm. With no father there to guide him, No brother with him to cheer, No mother there to soothe his brow, No family to shed a tear. Just the coldness of a single blade Resting on his silver cross A full-grown man today True to brave the loss. We stand at the gate, He is coming home. We will sing redemption’s song No more will he have to roam. One child, one son, one father Ready to hold his children’s hand. Lost but not forever In a strange forbidden land. It’s home again Where his soul can be free. Where he can share our dreams In this place where he is meant to be.

The following weeks in that infamous September of 2001 were intangible and strange. Amidst all the unknowns, the sadness, the anger, we remember the solemnness of the skies – no planes drawing contrails from here to there. Crisp, clean, and blue, as if nothing had happened at all. But despite all our tribulations, as a nation, we banded together. We did what Americans do best. We overcame adversity. "Even here on our beloved Southside, our communities have grown stronger and we are truly blessed to have service men and women protecting our liberties… We thank these brave men and women who sacrifice so much of their time, who dedicate their lives to protect and serve the citizens of our communities." Since then, we’ve rebuilt. Even here on our beloved Southside, our communities have grown stronger and we are truly blessed to have service men and women protecting our liberties overseas – as well as the ones right here in our backyards keeping us safe on the home front. We thank these brave men and women who sacrifice so much of their time, who dedicate their lives to protect and serve the citizens of our communities. Those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, have not died in vain. Their memory lives on in every emergency personnel who bravely dons the badge of honor. Whether an officer steps boldly into peril to confront a dangerous suspect, or a firefighter charges into a blazing fire, or first responders work resuscitate an unresponsive patient. Their heroism does not go unnoticed; we thank you for it each and every day. BELIEVE IT! Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books.

Your 3-year-old has been sent under the bleacher to fetch the beer you dropped. BACKSHOP Greenwood’s John Price was good choice for State Legislator of the Year We were not surprised when we learned on Tuesday that John Price, Indiana State Representative (Dist. 47) was named the State Legislator of the Year by the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns at its annual conference in Ft. Wayne. We understand that he was specifically recognized for his support of local government in general and municipalities, and Johnson County in particular. Prior to Representatives Price’s service to Johnson County, he served in the United States Army for six years as a Staff Sergeant. He has served as Chairman of the Johnson County Board of Commissions for the past four years, the Johnson County Council and the White River Advisory Board for a total of 14 years. Currently, Representative Price serves on the Financial Institutions, Local Government and Veterans Affairs and Public Safety committees. Christian Maslowski, executive director of the Greater Greenwood Chamber of Commerce wrote this in an email: “In addition to being an engaged citizen legislator, Represen- tative Price has been a supporter of allowing Central Indiana Counties to expand mass transit. In fact, he amended the proposed legislation that came out of the 2013 summer study committee to allow certain Central Indiana Counties to organize transit if they so chose (he added Johnson County whereas we were initially left out). Maslowski also added that Price “faithfully attends our Legislation Matters Sessions.” This honor couldn’t have happened to a better person. John Price is the definition of a true citizen legislator. Congratulations, John! 9. The cops believed your story that you weren't running red lights but were practicing your Figure-8 driving skills. 8.

The congregation provides the officers with a meal and a gift before they head back out into the streets of Indianapolis. Last year, the church began a campaign to provide each of the 200 officers attending their event with a specialized gift: a life-saving Trauma Kit. Their effort soon became a citywide project to equip all 1500 IMPD officers with a kit. And that effort soon spread nationwide, as communities across the country learned of the project and sought to do the same for their own law enforcement. This year, the church will present the 200 officers attending their event with a specialized hands-free LED pocket light that will allow the officers to see or be seen in an emergency. Several local businesses have joined with the church to support this event, including Simon Properties, The Buchanan Group, OB’s Catering, Chef Dan’s, Papa Roux, as well as the Ladies Auxiliary at FOP Lodge #86.

Representatives from the Indianapolis Fire Department, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the Fraternal Order of the Police will provide information. The FOP will sell shirts with proceeds benefiting the Fallen Officers Fund. “The original decree that made September 11 a holiday talked about trying to make it a day to honor and remember our first responders rather than focusing on the negatives, the tragedy that happened that day,” said Piper Voge, marketing co-director for Southport Antique Mall. “Make it a time to move forward and recognize how much our first responders really do. We really felt this year with the amount of violence and number of officers that were lost, last year the number of EMS workers that were killed, we felt it was an appropriate time to thank them and make people aware of all they do.” From 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Fire Engine 23B will join the celebration, allowing children to climb on and explore the truck. There will also be a social media booth where guests can take the Blue Pledge to make their neighborhood safer. At noon, SAM has invited Southport Police Chief Thomas Vaughn, Indianapolis Fire Department captain and other local heads of departments for a free lunch. Just before 1 p.m., there will be a short ceremony and moment of silence for all officers who have been lost, including those during Sept. 11. More than 25 vendors will offer vintage, repurposed, upcycled, and handmade goods. Some of these vendors will offer more than a 15 percent discount. Two food trucks will be joining them: Pierogi Love Indy and Citizens Hash. For more information, visit southportantiquemall.net.

SPECIAL SECTION published by Times Leader Publications, LLC Pages 21-25 Weekly celebration of the best of metro south public schools Beech Grove City Schools Small Schools. Big Opportunities. From the Superintendent Beech Grove City Schools is extremely proud of the many accomplishments of our students and staff. One of those great accomplishments is the continuing success of our district's Hornet Enrichment Academy. Having just completed the second year of implementation, the Hornet Enrichment Academy (HEA) allows the enrolled students to engage in their coursework in an innovative way. The program is based on flexible scheduling where both day and evening sessions are made available to students for course completion. The HEA is responsible for over 25 students being able to graduate with their high school peers. HEA students not only completed their required coursework, but they also produced a Senior Portfolio. This was a project-based learning unit that served as their culminating senior activity. The portfolios illustrated student research in a career of personal interest. The HEA students collected career and business artifacts and presented them in a professional format. At the completion of the assignment, students participated in a professional interview with our district administrators to practice their presentation and interview skills. This experience allowed our students the opportunity to strengthen their career readiness skills while simultaneously boosting their confidence level! This program has helped increase our graduation rate to 93%. Students in Grades 4-12 continue to utilize a oneto-one technology device that integrates embedded curriculum. Daily interaction with these technology devices will better prepare them for their next level of education or chosen career field. Students in Grades K-3 have 16 iPads per classroom for their use. The iPads provide an appropriate application of technology for the primary grade levels. Students will be able to read and listen to text from the devices, and engage in interactive apps that enhance literacy and mathematics skills. This is an exciting addition to our instructional programming at Hornet Park and Central Beech Grove City Schools Superintendent, Dr. Paul Kaiser, reads to students at Hornet Park Elementary School.

On our local level in Beech Grove, South Grove’s Reading Intervention Specialist, Stacy Johnson, spearheaded the activities for our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. These activities included: • Hearing Principal, Mrs. Tonya Reid, share her favorite book during morning announcements • Reading WHENEVER the students had time AND at lunch! • Making a special bookmark • Taking A.R. quizzes • Sharing favorite books with the class And, in keeping with this year’s theme at South Grove: “Be a SUPERHERO” – Mrs. Johnson shared with each student the motto “Be a Hero and READ TO SUCCEED!” Even though National Literacy Day is just one day, it is celebrated daily at South Grove Intermediate School. To further encourage our students to read and excel in math, an Academic Night is being held on Tuesday, September 30, for all South Grove students. Each student will receive their own book and a set of math flashcards. This year’s Academic Night Program is sponsored by the Beech Grove Education Foundation. Mrs. Johnson continually reminds students at South Grove to “Read, Read, Read.” This page was created for Beech Grove City Schools for The Southside Times Project Safety, Security, & Stewardship Enters Phase 2 Center Grove Community School Corporation’s $42 million construction project is into its second phase. During Phase 1, which was largely completed during the summer break, secure entries were created at Pleasant Grove and Sugar Grove Elementary Schools, and both middle schools, Central and North. Pleasant Grove also received renovation to its administrative offices. Maple Grove Elementary was built with a secure entry. During Phase 2 of the project, facilities updates are underway at North Grove Elementary (NGES), Center Grove Elementary (CGES) to address major educational effectiveness and capacity issues. PLANNED RENOVATIONS (North Grove E.S. & Center Grove E.S.) IN THE CLASSROOMS New cabinets New windows Updated wall coverings New carpet (for most rooms) THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL New ventilation system New hall wall coverings New sprinkler system (CGES) Both schools will see new gymnasiums built on the outside of their buildings, which will allow for improved security during after-school events, and increased space in their cafeterias. Right now, the cafeteria and gyms share space in the center of the C.G. MIDDLE SCHOOL CENTRAL (Secure Entrance) BEFORE AFTER schools. Phase 3 of the project includes updates to Center Grove High School. That project includes the relocation of the main offices to the front of the building where they will connect to a secure entrance, renovation of the Media Center, renovation of science labs, upgrades to finishes, and ADA restroom upgrades throughout the building. Bids for Phase 3 are scheduled to be awarded later this month. The CGHS project won't be complete until December of 2016. You can see photos, renderings, timelines, and more on our website www.centergrove.k12.in.us/ construction. All phases of this project are fully funded without increasing tax rates for White River Township residents. Ehresman Named Top 10 Finalist for Indiana Teacher of the Year Center Grove Middle School Central 8th Grade Social Studies teacher Matthew Ehresman is one of ten finalists for the 2015 Indiana Teacher of the Year. Ehresman was named the 2013-14 Center Grove Community School Corporation (CGCSC) Teacher of the Year in May. “This is a tremendous honor,” said Ehresman. “To be recognized for what I thoroughly enjoy doing is both humbling and somewhat surreal.” “We are excited to have Matt included in this elite group of teachers,” said Dr. Rich Arkanoff, Center Grove superintendent. “Matt is an exceptional teacher who is dedicated to his students and passionate about what he does. His innovative use of Project-Based Learning is a true asset to Center Grove Schools. ” The Indiana Teacher of the Year is chosen by a selection committee made up of former Teachers of the Year. Every school district in Indiana may nominate a candidate. The winner will continue to teach this school year. During the 2015-16 school year, the Indiana Teacher of the Year is released from classroom duties for a “year of service” during Matthew Ehresman which he or she will serve as a spokesperson and advocate for teachers through a full schedule of speaking engagements, school visits, legislative meetings, and other duties around Indiana and the country. The Indiana Teacher of the Year will also serve as the state candidate for the National Teacher of the Year award. Ehresman earned his bachelor’s degree from Purdue University and is currently pursuing a master’s through Purdue. This is his 10th year of teaching at Center Grove. He previously taught for two years in Pike Township schools. Ehresman and his wife, Summer, have three daughters.

Summer Costa Rica trip opens new world for Woodmen Greenwood High School students enrolled in varying levels of Spanish took a nine-day trip to Costa Rica this summer. Mrs. Mindi Neiswanger chaperoned the trip which reinforced the cultural and linguistic learning of the Spanish curriculum at GHS. Students had unending opportunities to practice their Spanish while interacting with the “Ticos” (Costa Rican natives) as they participated in activities, such as visiting a school, taking dance lessons, zip-lining in the cloud forest, a cooking lesson, riding horses, bargaining in the open-air market, and so much more. Traveling abroad provided these students with the opportunity to realize that there are other perspectives of the world and that life is lived according to the resources available. If you are interested in providing your child this sort of opportunity, please contact Mrs. Neiswanger or Ms. Herman for details about their European tour scheduled for Summer 2015.

She began her bus driving career in the district in January of 1996. Sherri drives bus number 1275 with both a Sherri Worley secondary route on the Perry side of the district and an elementary route for Douglas MacArthur. Her husband, Rodger, is also a bus driver for Perry Township Schools. They have been married for 33 years and enjoy their four sons, four grandchildren and three dogs (a German Shepherd and 2 dachshunds). Sherri Worley and her husband, Rodger “Safety is my First Concern” I start my day at 6:10 a.m. at the bus barn. The first thing every driver, including myself, must do before they depart on their route is a pre-trip “walk around.” This is a visual inspection of the exterior of the bus, including all mirrors, lights, tires, windows, windshield, windshield wipers, reflectors, under bus leaks and body damage. I usually head out by 6:17 a.m. for my secondary route. I have about 25 stops. I “off load’ my middle school students at PMHS to ride a different bus to their school. Next, I start my elementary route which has 15 stops. My afternoon route runs from 2:00 – 4:30 p.m. I end each route with a “walk through” the bus to ensure no students or personal items are left behind. As you can imagine, the first couple days of a new school year are rough. I start stern with the students; they need structure and rules for their safety. The children always must stop and wait to cross until signaled by me. One of my mottos is “Back to Back, Bottom to Bottom and Feet to Floor.” Once seated, my bus riders are not allowed to change seats while the bus is moving. The bus seats are high to protect them, however, anything, even a cell phone, can become a missile during unexpected braking. School bus drivers are required to hold a commercial driver's license (CDL) and participate in annual training which includes a review of current policies and safety issues. One of the greatest challenges of my job is staying vigilant. Safety is my number one concern. I don’t ever want to be distracted, but it’s hard to be perfect! Cars often fail to stop when my flashing red bus STOP arm is extended (especially on Madison Avenue) so I must be watching at all times! Of course, I like the kids and my work schedule of 5 hours each day for only 180 days a year. I work with fantastic staff members and supervisors. We support each other. I value my job and attribute my work ethic to my Bible training as a Jehovah’s Witness. I participate in personal and family Bible studies and attend Christian meetings twice a week. I’m an open book, no secrets. Sherri Worley The couple owns a time share in Orlando where they spend time every October. When she isn’t enjoying Disneyworld or the pool, she reads and works on jigsaw puzzles. Outside of work, she really doesn’t drive much, especially since she only lives 1.2 miles from the bus barn. On special occasions, you might find Sherri enjoying a meal at Carrabba’s, her favorite restaurant. Sherri is an admitted techie! She likes to do everything on a computer. Her watch, a Samsung Gear 2, is even digitally connected to her cell phone! Mr. Patrick Murphy, Director of Transportation, described Sherri as a very safe and dependable driver. He said, “No matter what challenge is thrown her way she handles it head on and always with a positive attitude. Mrs. Worley is an asset to Perry Township, Perry Transportation and the students she transports. We are very lucky to have such a caring, hardworking dedicated driver.” TRANSPORTATION Nearly 12,000 students ride the bus each day in Perry Township Schools. The district’s 143 buses use diesel fuel and travel 8,900 miles daily. Recently, the Transportation Department made several cost cutting measures including, a reduction in overtime hours, route optimization, and agreements with vendors to lower costs on parts and wireless data. Parents may go online and use Versatrans to retrieve specific transportation information regarding their child(s) bus assignment/number, bus stop location and pick-up/drop off times.

Some foods — including flavorful, water-rich produce like watermelon — can help hydrate the body as well. “Sliced, cubed or blended, or even simply juiced, watermelon is a delicious way to increase fluid intake and boost energy,” said Elizabeth Somer, a registered dietician and author of several nutrition and wellness books. “Watermelon is 92 percent water, and the perfect ingredient for salads, salsas, smoothies and more.” With a distinctively sweet, refreshing taste, it may be hard to think of watermelon as a nutritious, low-calorie hydration boost. But actually, beyond its high water content, watermelon is loaded with vitamins A and C, potassium and magnesium, fiber and phytonutrients, such as lycopene. Tips for picking the perfect watermelon Choosing a good whole watermelon at the store may seem like a challenge, because the thick rind hides the vibrant fruit inside. But actually, making a good pick is as easy as 1, 2, 3. 1. Look the watermelon over. You are looking for a firm, symmetrical watermelon that is free from bruises, cuts or dents. 2. Lift it up. The watermelon should be heavy for its size; most of the weight is water. 3. Turn it over. The underside of the watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun. Once you’ve got your watermelon home, there are dozens of ways to enjoy it, including a wide range of cold, refreshing beverages. One easy way to up your water intake with watermelon is this simple one-ingredient recipe for watermelon juice: Just cut a seedless watermelon into one-inch chunks with a sharp knife and place in blender. Blend watermelon well until juice is smooth. If you prefer, you can strain the juice to remove the pulp. For a little extra flavor, try combining watermelon juice with other fruity flavors, as in this Agua Fresca, which blends that natural sweetness of watermelon with lime, a small amount of sugar and water. Find more ideas to help you sip your way to hydration with mouthwatering inspiration at watermelon.org.

A growing body of research on Alzheimer’s connection with Vitamin D (which you can get from healthy doses of sunshine, supplements, egg yolks and oily fish like salmon and sardines) suggests that Vitamin D plays a much more important role in preventative healthcare than previously thought. – Yahoo Health ■ Dining out means more calories A study published online by Public Health Nutrition claims that eating fast food or full-service restaurants leads to “significant increase in energy, sugar, saturated fat and [salt].” Researchers looked at data from over 12,000 persons aged 20 to 64 and saw that people who ate at fast food or full-service restaurants consumed (on average) an extra 200 calories per day than people who ate in, cooking a home meal. According to the study’s co-author, Lisa Powel, “eating out at restaurants should be the exception not the norm.” – CNN Health ss-times.com • Week of September 11-17, 2014 27 Talking about yourself It’s incorrect because the reflexive pronoun has nothing to refer to.

Students spent the day cleaning, doing yard work, painting, and even baking cookies at nearly four dozen businesses, churches, and other locations in Johnson County and the south side of Indianapolis. “The students are helping us clear the walking path around our property,” said Greg Jones, pastor of student ministries at Southland Community Church in Greenwood. “We have someone who mows for us. But having the students get this done is just a huge blessing for us.” “The Day of Caring is something we look forward to each year,” said Doug Bird, Center Grove High School principal. “This day helps our students see what kind of an impact they can have on their community just by rolling up their sleeves for a few hours. The lesson of the importance of community involvement is much more meaningful when it’s learned outside the walls of the high school.” The United Way of Johnson County partners with Center Grove High School to organize all of the outreach projects. Discerning the hand of God: A master plan DEVOTIONAL By Pastor Paul A. Kirby "Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. ~ Job 12:9-13 It is very hard to discern what is by the hand of God and what is by the hand of man or the working of Satan. All too often we assign way too much authority to Satan which means that we blame him for our own actions when we should be looking into our own hearts for the reason for our behavior. Granted, Satan is the source of all temptation of man to do evil things, but temptation is not sin. Sin begins in the heart when a person's own lust brings them to plan to go against God's will. I repeat again what I have often said and that is this, sin always includes the will of a person. No one ever accidentally sins. Sin is a decision and not an accident. We can make all sorts of mistakes and not one of them be a sin but when we desire to bend the will of God to satisfy a fulfillment of our personal lusts, sin is crouching at the door. Now, it is hard for us to know what God is doing. What is He doing in our world today that is part of His eternal and temporal plan to draw the enemy of Christ out for the last battle between them at the end of time? We are so close to the end of the age of sin on this earth that I can feel it in my spiritual bones. Satan seems to be winning all of the battles but I promise you he is not. God is simply allowing him enough spiritual rope to hang himself and he will do it. The last day of time, God will deal with him and winning a few little skirmishes now and then. What matters to us is that we keep our faith in God intact. We must not lose faith no matter how things appear to be. Job is in a mess but God knew Job's heart and trusted that he would not lose his faith. When we come to the end of the book, we will find that he did not but that he got a better grasp by all of the things he went through on the God he had been serving but did not know all that well. Hang on and keep on serving the Lord. It is the only way we will see a positive end of life. Serving Satan is a losing proposition. God bless and go and have a great day. "Job is in a mess but God knew Job's heart and trusted that he would not lose his faith." all of those who follow him. Like Job, I don't know all of what God is doing to bring this spiritual warfare to its final conclusion, but I do know that Satan loses the war even if he is Paul A.
