Enterprise THE CLARENDON THE CLARENDON NEWS & www.ClarendonLive.com Single Copy $100 THIS WEEK 2 A new business has brought something different to downtown Clarendon. 6 Donley County 4H members do well at an area fashion show. 8 CJH basketball players win second at area tournament. 9 Two Clarendon athletes advance to the state track and field competition. All this and much more as The Enterprise reports in this week’s amazing edition! By Roger Estlack, Clarendon Enterprise Continued verbal sparring between an elected official and the school superintendent marked the regular meeting of the Hedley ISD Board of Trustees last Thursday evening, April 25. Although the board itself was united on every vote it took Thursday, school trustee Karen Watt and Superintendent Bill Sanders remained at loggerheads on several issues. Watt questioned Sanders on his mileage charges during consideration of the school district’s financial report, and later drilled the administrator over the school’s failure to ratify a Concussion Oversight Team, an item that had been on the board’s agenda several times for “discussion” but not for “approval.” Watt quoted passages of the state education code and quizzed Sanders, who also coaches tennis, as to whether he had the required two-hour concussion training and required CPR training. Sanders said he was capable of performing CPR if needed, and said he still had 22 months to get the concussion training, but Watt disagreed and said the concussion training had to be completed by September 2012. She then said Sanders’ failure to complete the training could jeopar- dize a Hedley student’s appearance at the state tennis meet. “It’s on you,” Watt told Sanders, “if she goes to state and gets kicked out because I’m telling you it’s required.” The board later scheduled a 6 a.m. meeting Monday, April 29, for the purpose of affirming the Concussion Oversight Team. The board also discussed its “FDA local” policy related to the authorization of accepting transfer students when said student might require increased staff. The school had previously placed that authority with the superintendent, but some months ago the board voted unani- mously to return that authority to the board. Sanders said an advisor with the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) had recommended the board rescind that change and leave the authority with the superintendent. Watt read a lengthy prepared statement on the topic, defending the change as a legal local policy decision and calling the fact that the policy change had not been made “unacceptable.” She also said she was “insulted” that TASB would try to interfere with the board’s action. Sanders read a letter from the TASB representative and said the school should listen to its policy Williams will lead May Lunch & Learn The second Wednesday of every month, Lunch & Learn at the WTAMU Enterprise Center features entrepreneurs who have taken their business ideas from concept to success.

Brown did not attend last week’s meeting, and Sanders said Brown told him the board could handle the matter without TASB. Trustee James Edward Potts See ‘HISD’ on page 3.

ENTERPRISE PHOTO / KARI LINDSEY LaVelle’s receives CEDC storefront grant By Roger Estlack, Clarendon Enterprise LaVelle’s Coffee house is the newest business on Kearney Street and the recipient of the Clarendon Economic Development Corporation’s 15th cash award under its popular Façade Grant Program. Owned and operated by Michelle Hall, LaVelle’s opened Tuesday at 214 S. Kearney in the building formerly occupied by Eads’ Furniture & Appliance. Hall received $706.33 from the CEDC for fifty percent of the cost of signage improvements to the front of the building, which repurposed an old lighted RCA sign for the coffee house. “The façade grant was very important to us,” Hall said last Friday before the business opened. “We already had six tourists come in from as far away as Arizona.” Hall also completed a substantial remodeling of the old furniture store with new wall treatments, new bathrooms, and a new kitchen. LaVelle’s features flavored coffees, lattes, and cappuccinos as well as soups, salads, sandwiches and will also offer a healthy breakfast menu. Hall said she wants the coffee shop to be a place where people come to relax. Free wireless Internet is available, and other amenities include a pool table, a kids’ corner, and seating areas for small groups. Since the Façade Grant Program began in 2008, the CEDC has awarded $ 17,636.93 to property owners on a three-block stretch of Kearney Street. LaVelle’s is the first grant the CEDC has awarded since it renewed Becky Rattan and Michelle Hall of LaVelle’s Coffee House accept a check from Clarendon Tourism & Economic Development Director Chandra Eggemeyer last Friday.

Balloting for the City of Clarendon and Clarendon ISD is being held at the Donley County Courthouse Annex. Howardwick residents vote for their city officials at the City Hall there, and early voting for the Hedley ISD Board of Trustees is at the school office. In all 24 candidates are seeking offices this spring. Clarendon Mayor Larry Hicks is being challenged for his job by Alderman Tommy Hill, and four people are running for two positions available on the Board of Aldermen. Alderman Debbie Roberts, who was appointed in December, is seeking a full term in office, and she is joined on the ballot by former alderman Janice Knorpp, Sandy Skelton, and Trevor Leeper. Clarendon ISD has four candidates running for three positions on the Board of Trustees. Current school board members Robin Ellis and Jim Shelton are seeking re-election and challengers Linda Rowland and Chuck Robertson are also running. Six candidates are running for two positions on the Hedley School Board. Incumbents Bonnie Walsh Brown and James E. Potts are being challenged by Michele McCann, Kevin Smith, Aaron Harper, and Lana Ritchie. The City of Howardwick leads the candidate count at eight with David P. Cafferata and former alderman Mike Rowland running for mayor; William R. Jordan, Gail Leathers, and Jim Cockerham running for two vacant full terms on the Board of Aldermen; and Alderman Gene Rogers, Cory Longan, former mayor H.L. “Buster” Baird, and Sandy Sanders vying for two unexpired terms. Early voting by personal appearance runs through May 7. Election Day will be Saturday, May 11. The City of Clarendon will begin the process of changing zoning requirements in residential areas after a local businessman addressed the Board of Aldermen last Tuesday, April 23. Gary Hunt asked the board for permission to build and operate storage units on land he owns along Seventh Street between Leroy and Cottage streets. He said Code Compliance Officer Jason Conatser told him the structures he wants to build in that location are allowable under city rules but that operating a business is not. Hunt owns other storage units on the north side of US 287 and on SH 70 north of the city, but he said he has several elderly clients who don’t want to cross the highway. Alderman Abby Patten asked if Hunt had contacted the neighbors for their opinion. He said that he had not but he was sure there would be objections, noting that he had asked for permission before and been denied. Hunt said finding suitable commercial property is difficult and said his planned construction would generate economic activity on land that is unsuitable for residential construction due to a lack of sewer service. Alderman Will Thompson urged the board to contact the city attorney to be sure proper procedure is being followed. The board unanimously voted to begin the process of making the change, which will require a public hearing. In other board business, Engineer Clayton Scales presented findings of a study his firm conducted on the city’s water system. He said the city needs more elevated storage and that the new west side standpipe built in 2010 is inadequate for the city’s requirements and doesn’t provide for growth. He recommended adding a new standpipe on the east side of town and increasing the capacity of distribution lines. Scales also said the city needs to work to replace old cast iron lines and to find a way to boost pump capacity at Greenbelt’s filter plant. Phase One of the improvements – the new standpipe and enhanced distribution lines – would cost an estimated $1.75 million, and the engineering firm has submitted an application to the state water development board on behalf of the city. Alderman Debbie Roberts raised concerns about workers not getting paid overtime for emergency calls at nights and on weekends if they haven’t put in 40 hours during the week. She said under city rules, if an employee is off for a doctor’s visit or vacation day and then gets called in at 9 p.m. on Friday, that employee does not get overtime, which she said was not fair. The board approved a motion to research how other cities handle this situation. 2 OPINION Enterprise THE CLARENDON The Clarendon Enterprise • May 2, 2013 Privatize almost everything By Richard W. Rahn As a mental challenge, try to think of all of the governmental activities – federal, state and local – that could be privatized. Now, go a step further. Suppose you were required to develop a plan to privatize, or make self-supporting through user fees, nearly every activity of government. Could you or a group of your friends do it? Try it. I expect your success will surprise you. The reason this is relevant is because most governments will reach their borrowing limits in the not-too-distant future, which means they will have to operate on current revenue from taxes and fees. Many governments have reached or are reaching their ability to increase taxes, and income-tax systems will begin to fall under their own weight. Governments will be forced to downsize and privatize – or private citizens and groups will just take over as they are increasingly doing because of failing government schools, for example. The U.S. government was created to protect people and property and to ensure liberty; but more and more often, it does just the opposite. The air-traffic controller fiasco last week was a perfect illustration of how almost all governments eventually turn against the citizens they are supposed to protect and serve. As The Wall Street Journal noted April 26, the Federal Aviation Administration “managed to convert a less than 4 percent budget cut into a 10 percent air traffic control cut that would delay 40 percent of flights.” This occurred despite several years of substantial budget increases for the agency, coupled with a decreasing number of flights and workload for the controllers. The episode demonstrates not only gross managerial incompetence but an incredible degree of mean-spiritedness by the folks at the FAA and in the administration, right up to President Obama himself. Furthermore, the president had the unmitigated gall to attack Congress (as well as a large majority of the members of his own party in both houses of Congress) in his weekly radio address for coming up with a fix for a problem he had created. The Founding Fathers understood that it was not uncommon for political leaders to turn on their own people. Hitler, Stalin and Mao showed there is no limit as to how far some leaders will go. Even in rather civil, democratic regimes, it is common to see leaders far more concerned with their own power than the common good. This is why the Founders tried to design a system that would limit government – particularly the federal government, which was given very few tasks and powers. As is widely and correctly understood, when government directly manages an activity, it often does it poorly because of the lack of competition and accountability, and because governmental activities often become politicized – delivering inferior service at high cost. The solution to this problem is to keep as many activities in the private sector as possible. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher began a massive privatization of the British economy more than three decades ago, which enabled economic renewal. Many other countries followed suit; however, the global effort has waned in recent years. Now, when stagnation has re-emerged, part of the solution is again privatization. My Cato Institute colleague Chris Edwards, in an article published in the Daily Caller last week, noted: “Canada provides an excellent model for U.S. reforms. Canada’s Air Traffic Control system is run by the nonprofit corporation Nav Canada, which is separate from the government. It raises money from its customers to cover operational costs and capital investments. Unlike the U.S. system, Nav Canada is self-supporting and not subsidized.” It also has a reputation for being very well run, with state-of-the-art systems (unlike the FAA). Approximately 50 countries have now, in part or fully, privatized their air-traffic control systems – with excellent results. The debate over sequestration has caused a renewed focus on all of the waste, duplication and inappropriate or nonessential things the federal government does. As noted above, at some point, the ability of the government to borrow at low cost will run out. At that time, the government will have no choice but to make many activities self-supporting and privatize them. Smart politicians will begin proposing such solutions now – rather than pushing for more destructive tax increases. Finally, if you are having trouble with the quiz at the beginning, you might wish to go the websites of major free-market think tanks, such as the Reason Foundation, Heritage Foundation, Competitive Enterprise Institute, American Enterprise Institute, and, of course, the Cato Institute, as well as the many excellent international, state and local think tanks. (The Atlas Economic Research Foundation has a comprehensive listing of most of the world’s freemarket think tanks.) You will be amazed at how many examples you will find of successful privatization programs – of almost any traditional federal, state or local governmental activity – somewhere in the world. Richard W. Rahn is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and chairman of the Institute for Global Economic Growth. LaVelle’s brings something new to town Last Friday night, Lavelle’s Coffee Shop, located on Kearney Street, just across from the library, held an open house to introduce a new gathering place - a quaint coffee shop and bistro style eating establishment - where folks can come together for a great meal and a wonderful cup of coffee (with tea and other drinks for the non-coffee drinkers), in a warm, comfortable environment. Michelle Hall, the proprietor, has always wanted to be of service to others. She came by this virtue mainly by helping her mother, Rose Smith, a natural entrepreneur of many successful businesses. As a young girl Michelle spent hours working for her mother, polishing her entrepreneur skills, and developing the burning desire to be of service to others. Michelle is continuing a long held family tradition of serving others. One of her primary reasons for opening LaVelle’s Coffee Shop was to provide a pleasant meeting place for the folks of Clarendon, offering a great atmosphere, excellent food, superior coffee, and exemplary service. She envisioned a warm place for people to meet over good coffee, good food, and good conversation. She has done that. She has created a unique dining experience for folks in Clarendon. The name “LaVelle’s” comes from a long-established family tradition, dating back to her family’s origins in the old country of Germany. According to Michelle, the name “LaVelle” was taken as part of the name of the first-born in each new generation of the family. Michelle wanted to honor her family and pay homage to by fred gray those who have gone before. Michelle’s vision for LaVelle’s is to provide a place where folks of all ages can get together for good wholesome, family style fun and food. She wants to do something special for the people of Clarendon, and designed the concept of LaVelle’s to meet a community need that does not exist, a place where we can come together to socialize, enjoy good food and beverages, while enjoying various activities. LaVelle’s has a pool table that can be rented for $5 an hour. Additionally, she has many books available for reading while enjoying your coffee, along with a wide-ranging menu of breakfast and lunch dishes, including creative sandwiches, soups, and kids’ meals. There is also space available for playing games like chess, pente, and whatever board games we choose to bring along with us. LaVelle’s Coffee Shop, a little hole in the wall place, is managed by Becky Rattan, and staffed by an energetic, well- the quick, the dead, & fred trained group of mostly young people, each sporting bright smiles and warm dispositions. At Friday’s sneak peak, a surprisingly large number of people (well over a hundred) gathered for a sampling of the fare offered. Alyss Simpson’s favorite menu items were the turkey and bacon sandwich and the great cup of soup. Her 10 year old sister, Malerie Simpson, preferred the soup and chips. Actually, the entire Simpson family, including my new neighbor and longtime friend Helen, seemed to enjoy the food in a warm and relaxed environment. Samantha Wright, a precocious 8 year old, and horse lover (she has 3 – Cabbage, Cisco, and Boo) waxed poetic while outfitted in her CLARENDON ENTERPRISE tee-ball tee shirt, saying that she thinks that LaVelle’s is very pretty and looks like a good place to eat. The home-made bread pudding was a huge favorite with everyone who tried it. Other tasty pastries are available for those with a sweet tooth. All items are priced very reasonably. Seriously, LaVelle’s Coffee Shop has a delicious menu. Michelle and her staff have done a wonderful job of creating a place where we can gather to enjoy each other’s company, good food, and good beverages. Give LaVelle’s Coffee Shop a visit. Who knows, we may end up in a chess match or pente match while enjoying excellent fare. 135th Year, Series 3, Vol. XXIV, No. 18 • E18.08 The Clarendon Enterprise (USPS 947040, ISSN 1088-9698) is published each Thursday by Roger A.

DEADLINES Perry: Water plan can’t be delayed By Texas Governor Rick Perry It’s difficult to believe there’s anyone in Texas who doesn’t understand the immediate need to address water infrastructure. With a state as vast and geographically diverse as Texas, we don’t always have water in the right places. That’s why we must invest in infrastructure to develop the water-supplies for the areas that need it. The fundamental truth is this: If we don’t deal with this problem now, it holds the potential of inflicting catastrophic damage upon our economy and our very way of life. And every session we kick this can down the road, the danger becomes more pronounced and the price tag for dealing with it grows larger. We can take a historic step toward resolving our water deficit with House Bill 11 by Rep. Allan Ritter, which provides a meaningful, one-time investment in water infrastructure to keep our state viable for future economic growth. Our population is now over 26 million and increasing by more than 1,000 a day. We continue to attract key employers from around the world seeking to expand or relocate. And our agriculture sector continues to help feed the world. These are three thirsty variables in a troubling equation that adds up to severe water deficits in portions of our state in the decades to come, and even sooner if we suffer through a serious drought like the one we experienced in the 1950s. Economic models indicate that a drought of that magnitude could cost Texans $116 billion in lost income. If we have such a drought, by 2060 – with the population at that time expected to be over 46 million – we’ll likely be facing a deficit of 8.3 million acre-feet. (An acre-foot is roughly equivalent to the average annual water usage of three to four households.) In addition to basic quality-of-life issues, this need cuts us across all areas, including economic development. While we enjoy our status as a prime relocation site, companies keep a close eye on the quality of a location’s water and transportation infrastructure when making the final decision on where to go. If we want to retain our status as the nation’s epicenter for job creation, we need to address this issue now, and address it aggressively. The good news is that current economic conditions and available balances in the Rainy Day Fund provide a unique opportunity for the state to partner with communities by offering financing to develop and implement new water supplies. HB 11’s one-time transfer of $2 billion from the Rainy Day Fund would capitalize a newly-created perpetual fund that, over time, has the capacity to finance $27 billion of identified assistance needed in the 2012 State Water Plan, which outlines the water needs of our state for the next 50 years. Historically, water funding has been dependent on the Legislature to appropriate general revenue to pay debt service on bonds issued for specific projects. Relying on this piecemeal method of funding is more expensive and less effective than this idea. For example, if we funded the Water Plan strictly by tapping general revenue, by 2060 we’d have spent somewhere between $8 billion and $12 billion. Combined with financing from the private sector, this one-time dispersal from the Rainy Day Fund should fully implement the plan without requiring ongoing contributions from general revenue. Since 1997, Texas has been a recognized leader in developing and implementing strategies to ensure Texans have access to clean, reliable water supplies. As the Texas economy and population boom, it is imperative that our policies encourage water suppliers to find new ways to clean, convey, and conserve water. Upon the passage of HB 11, the state will stand ready to partner with local and regional entities to assist in the development of water infrastructure and capacity projects that will meet the water demands for the next 50 years and beyond. This is simply not an issue we can ignore anymore. News articles and photos are due by Monday at noon. Advertising and Classifieds are due by five o’clock Monday afternoon.

Member 2013 National Newspaper Association Former alderman endorses candidates As a former city alderman, I feel it is important to let the citizens of Clarendon know just how important the upcoming city election is. The current Board of Aldermen vote as a unit no matter what the issue is and refuse to listen to the remaining member who attempts to put some logical thinking into discussions. Three of these aldermen are on the ballot. Two of the three are running for aldermen, and the third is running for mayor. (If you remember, he lost the last time he ran for that office.) Consider that this group, without checking with the city attorney, fired the last professional city manager without cause, which cost the city more than $30,000. Prior to my retirement, I was a professional administrator, and I know I would find it very difficult to accept a position where the last two administrators had been terminated without cause. Two weeks ago, one of the aldermen insisted the board go into executive session even when the employee involved requested that the issue be discussed during the open meeting. This in and of itself was not legal as the city’s agenda didn’t specify it was going to discuss the city secretary’s position or duties. How long can the City of Clarendon continue to be led by people who have personal agendas, lack common sense, and lack the business and managerial skills needed to lead our community? The only way Clarendon will progress is to change the elected representatives who make decisions for this great city. Vote for Larry Hicks, mayor; Sandy Skelton, alderman; and Janice Knorpp, alderman. Ann Huey, Clarendon Texas Press Association West Texas Press Association Panhandle Press Association 2011 The Clarendon Enterprise • May 2, 2013 HISD: Trustee skips closed session Continued from page one. said he thought the board needed TASB at the meeting, and Trustee Mark Howard said he trusted the judgment of the professionals. The board took no action on the policy and will reconsider the matter at a May 6 meeting. Watt then took issue with Sanders’ handling of the District Improvement Plan and presented Groom ISD’s plan as an example of what a school with a small staff can do. She specifically wanted to see changes to Hedley’s documentation of higher education opportunities at the school. Board Vice President Dana Bell directed Sanders to make the changes and e-mail the revised plan to Watt so she could review it prior to the board’s May 6 meeting. Under personnel issues, Sanders announced the resignation of Linda Naylor, who will retire after 30 years of teaching. The board then came to consideration of salaries for not-contract labor staff, and a short debate centered on the closed session called for on the agenda with some trustees feeling the matter needed to be discussed in closed session “for one of them.” Watt asked for representa- tives of THE CLARENDON ENTERPRISE to look at the agenda for an opinion as to whether a closed session was legitimate, but Potts objected. “We’re not asking the ENTERPRISE for advice,” he said. The board then met behind closed doors for six minutes, but Watt excluded herself from the session, saying she thought the wording on the agenda was too general. When the board reconvened in open session, trustees voted unanimously to increase the salaries of the non-contract labor staff by five percent effective September 1, 2013. Grants: 1ST ST.

The Clarendon Enterprise • May 2, 2013 Hang up before you get scammed on the phone Hi, gang! Don’t be scammed in the elections. Early voting is going on. If you haven’t voted, do it now. Please check out the candidates for each election. The Clarendon Aldermen’s race has created a lot of interest this time. You should check the qualifications of each candidate. We need to make some changes. During the six months I was City Judge (before I resigned for medical reasons), I had an opportunity to observe the city’s daily operations. The City Judge’s office is located in City Hall. This is not the place for this office, however that is another story. I observed Mayor Hicks’ hard work and dedication in his service to the city. Did he make some mistakes? Yes, but don’t we all? Overall he has been a very good Mayor and should be reelected. Check out each candidate. Hang Up on New Utility Bill Phone Scam Utility companies throughout the US and Canada are warning their customers about a new con. Scammers are calling residents and impersonating utility staff, claiming to be collecting on late bills. How the Scam Works: The phone rings, and the person on the other line identifies her/himself as a representative from your local electric, water, or gas company. He or she tells you that you are late on your bill. You need to pay immediately or your utilities will terminated. However, instead of accepting payment by credit card or check, the caller wants you to pay by prepaid debit card. The scammer instructs you to obtain a prepaid debit card and call him/her back. Prepaid Debit Cards and Scams: Prepaid debit cards are becoming an increasingly popular method of payment for scammers. Wire transfer services have tightened their security, so crooks have turned to these prepaid cards instead. The cards are difficult to trace, and you do not need photo identification to collect or spend the money. Be sure you treat a prepaid debit card like cash and remember that transactions cannot be reversed. Tips for Spotting a Utility Scam: Because local gas, water and electric companies do sometimes contact their customers by phone, it can be difficult to tell a scammer from a real agent. Here are some tips: If a caller specifically asks you to pay by prepaid debit card, this is a red flag. Your utility company will accept a check or credit card. If you feel pressured for immediate payment or personal information, hang up the phone and call the customer service number on your utility bill. This will ensure you are speaking to a real rep- by bob watson resentative. Never allow anyone into your home to check electrical wiring, natural gas pipes or appliances unless you have scheduled an appointment or reported a problem. Also, ask utility employees for proper identification. Scams to Watch for in Wake of Boston Bombing Scams crop up after every large scale tragedy, and, unfortunately, the Boston Marathon bombing and Texas explosion are no exception. Watch out for the following cons: Charity Cons: The most common scams after a tragedy prey on public goodwill. Scammers set up fake charities and/or social media accounts to take advantage of the outpouring of generosity. Already dozens of URLs related to the Boston bombing relief have been registered, and at least one fake Twitter account was shut down. Scammers will likely try the same tricks in response to Texas tragedy. bob’s whittlin’ Deyhle, Anderson are wed Miss Leia Kate Deyhle and Mr. James Michael Anderson were united in marriage on April 27 at half past six in the evening at Escondido Golf and Lake Club in Horseshoe Bay.

Follow these tips from BBB Wise Giving Alliance and be sure to check out the full list: Give thoughtfully. Take the time to check out the charity to avoid wasting your generosity to a questionable or poorly managed effort. Find evaluations of national charities in Wise Giving’s directory. Check with your state government. About 40 of the 50 states require charities to register with a state government agency (usually a division of the State Attorney General’s office) before they solicit for charitable gifts. Ensure your charity respects victims and their families. Organizations raising funds should get permission from the families to use names and photographs of the victims. Learn how your money will be used. Watch out for vague appeals that don’t identify the intended use of funds. Exercise caution with online/email appeals. Never click on links to charities on unfamiliar websites, texts or emails. Use social media recommendations as a starting point, but don’t assume that your Facebook friend vetted the charity she/he posted. Be careful out there. There are so many scams going around it is hard to pick the ones to write about. Burton, Hudson to be wed July 27 April brings record freezes to H’wick “April showers bring May flowers” as the old song goes. Again this year the showers have passed us by in April, but we have broken the record for most freezing days in April. Not a record to be proud of, and the forecast is for close to freezing on May 1.

I saw Cornell’s greenhouse is well stocked, and I am making a trip over there this week and hope I find some geraniums in stock. They are one flower that does well at my house. These charity scams take different forms. Some are outright fronts - scammers raise money in the name of doing good and pocket their collection. Others are phishing scams. Donors are drawn in by fake websites and/or social media. When they click on the link, they find themselves either at a fake “donation form” asking for personal information or a website that downloads malware to their computer. Finally, some owners of fake social media accounts are actually building up followers and “likes” in hopes of selling the account later. Sensational Video/Photo Cons: This trick has followed every major news event for the last five years. As soon as the media breaks a big story (large scale tragedies and celebrity deaths are the most popular), scam emails and social media posts appear promoting sensational photos and videos. Fall for the teasers, and you will find yourself at a phishing website or downloading malware to your computer. So far, e-mails appearing to contain a link to footage of the bombings are making the rounds. But watch out for similar teasers on Facebook and Twitter too.

Morrow Clarendon Church of Christ GENEROSITY OF GOD Living in the panhandle of Texas is very different from the rest of the country. Farming and ranching without large amounts of rain can be challenging to say the least. Folks around here understand that without the generosity of God, it would be impossible to live or make a living. God is generous with material things we need. Everything we have is from Him. We may till the soil or go punch a clock somewhere and go to work, but God gives us our health to do so. In Genesis 2 we see that God was generous to us and gave us the right to have a spouse. In verse 18, God said, “It’s not good for man to be alone.” Many think of government giving us a right to marry, but it was God in the beginning. He was generous with His Son. He sent Christ to die for our sins, even when we didn’t deserve it. Romans 5:8 tells us that God sent His Son while we were still in our sins. As humans it is hard to sometimes share under the best of circumstances, much less with people who have wronged us. That is exactly what God did. God’s generosity is beyond our comprehension. Yet, we try to be more generous than God. How? 1. With His Word. The Bible gives God’s doctrine or commands and many people don’t like them. So, many make it say what they want. They try to stretch God’s word to include things that it doesn’t. They believe they are being generous or tolerant, but you can’t be generous and go beyond what God has said! 2. With His Conditions of Salvation. If God has requirements to attain His grace, and He does, who are we to change those? If the only cure for a disease is say, penicillin, you couldn’t just arbitrarily take something else and expect to be well. That is logic, but for some reason folks don’t apply it to religion even though God is a logical being. God’s generosity is beyond our means and understanding. We should appreciate it and understand that we can’t “out give” God. We can’t change God’s word or we negate its effect. Let us all be satisfied with what He has said and just follow the program He’s given.

Sign our online guest book at www.RobertsonFuneral.com Vaccination Recommendations for Whooping Cough A recent rise in whooping cough outbreaks has led the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to release new vaccination recommendations. Currently, a tetanus combination vaccine named “Tdap” provides protection against pertussis, the bacteria that causes whooping cough. The CDC now recommends that all adults over the age of 19 receive one additional “Tdap” vaccination. In addition, pregnant women should receive a “Tdap” vaccination in the third trimester of each pregnancy. Previous vaccinations as an adult with the tetatnus vaccine called “Td” does not count since it did not protect against pertussis. Whooping cough is a respiratory tract infection characterized by a strong cough followed by a high-pitched “whoop”. It is highly contagious, and the best way to prevent its spread is vaccination. Since whooping cough is potentially fatal in infants less than 12 months, it is especially recommended that any family members or caregivers who come into contact frequently with an infant receive this adult “Tdap” vaccination.
