Mary Rankin was honored for winning two medals in The Special Olympics at Columbus, Ohio. Discussion followed, for the new members, of how TOPS is a group effort, not just one person’s club. It is a place to meet and socialize with people, while supporting each other. We are all there for the same reason, to loose weight in a sensible way. Ways to motivate were discussed and included: 1) using our weight ledgers as a motivational tool. Seeing a withdrawal when you loose, keeps you excited. 2) keep a food chart. This helps to see and review what you are eating. 3) keep a members’ list, to have a contact buddy(ies). Contact each other when needing support or to give encouragement. 4) attend every meeting. The meetings will help keep you motivated. Even if you have a gain, it is important to not give up. MEIGS CHURCH CALENDAR Friday, June 29 WEST COLUMBIA — Clifton Tabernacle will be holding a gospel sing at 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Saturday, June 30 General helpful information was also shared. Do not only weigh yourself, also measure. Muscle weighs more than fat. Eat to lose weight, this also keeps your sugar from dropping low. Set small goals, a pound a week is an excellent goal. Exercise daily, just 15 minutes of moving will make a difference in a weight loss plan. Support is important and TOPS meetings provide group support. Laughter is important for loosing weight. KOPS members May Frost and Cindy Hyde shared jokes with the group. Then an action song with Cindy was enjoyed, “The TOPS Enthusiasm Song.” The meeting was adjourned with the “Helping Hand” circle.

It is called the Prayer of Jabez and says, “Jabez was honored more than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez, sayGod’s Kids ing,’ Because Korner I bore him in Pastor Ann pain.’ Jabez Moody called on the God of Israel, saying, ‘Oh that You would bless me and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from evil that might hurt or harm me.’ And God granted what he asked.” It may sound like a strange prayer, but let me explain it hopefully, so you will understand it and make it your prayer too. First, we don’t know much about this man named Jabez. In fact, the ﬁrst time Jabez is mentioned, it is a town in Judah, so we think Jabez was a person from the tribe of Judah. His name meant “pain, sorrow, or grief.” How would you like to be named Pain or Sorrow or even Grief by your parents? I bet Jabez was teased a lot about his name. The verses say he was more honored that his brothers, so evidently, Jabez chose to live a better life than his siblings. But Jabez prayed a special and unique prayer to God that we have recorded in the Bible here. He prayed speciﬁcally for four things. He asked God to bless him. At ﬁrst, this may seem like being selﬁsh, but I think, Jabez is asking God not just for “stuff,” but to bless him, so he can be a blessing to others. We should always try to be a blessing to others in whatever ways we are able. Then he asks to enlarge my border. Again, this seems selfish too, but Jabez doesn’t want more land. He wants more inﬂuence, so he can be the blessing to others that he just asked for above. He wants the ability, wisdom, and resources to reach and inﬂuence others for God. We too should ask our Lord for the things we need to reach our friends and neighbors for God. Then he asks for God’s hand to be with him. We always need God to be with us, so we can know what to do, say, and think the way we should. And ﬁnally, he pleads with God to keep him from evil that might hurt or harm him or even others. In the Lord’s Prayer, we say, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” We ask that we might stay out of trouble by doing what is right for ourselves and our friends, so we don’t hurt anyone, including ourselves, by our sins. There, you have it. A special prayer prayed by a special man in the Old Testament. May we ask God for the same things: to give us everything we need to be a blessing to others we meet, to never leave or forsake us, and to help us to always do what is right and just for ourselves and others we know. Let’s remember Jabez and how he rose above what his name meant to live for God and want to help others live for God too. Let’s say a prayer. Father God, help us to be like Jabez, so we can be good examples to You and others we meet. Keep us from getting into trouble by reminding us of what we should be doing to be nice and kind. Thank You for giving us this prayer to help us remember these things. In Your name we pray. Amen. Chances are good that you know someone who is in trouble. Battered by circumstances or weighed down by discouragement, this person you know may feel as if he or she is at wit’s end and may even be asking the question, “Why is God letting this happen to me?” And it may occur to you that the hand of God has placed you in the life of this individual to encourage or help. One thing you certainly DON’T want to do is to offer trite or glib remarks that patronize the pain or suffering of the other. For example, one might say to the other that the Lord never gives us more hardship than we can bear. While well intended, it doesn’t enter into the pain of the other nor does it acknowledge the fact of his or her desperation. In fact, it isn’t even correct biblically. What the Lord doesn’t let us have more of than we can handle is temptation. “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV). Someone being told that God doesn’t permit circumstances in her life that she cannot handle may result in the unhappy effect of bitterness or Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church. only to God? First, we despair, especially when recall to mind that “for she is overwhelmed those who love God all with a hurt or loss that things work together for just doesn’t go away. So good, for those who are what perspective can you called according to His share with another who purpose” (Romans 8:28 is suffering? What is the truth of the matter that A Hunger ESV). Second, we remember brings hope and strength for More in such times of utter Pastor Thom that while our Lord will permit us to exhaust all brokenness? Mollohan our resources, expend Simply this. That the all our strength, and God Who created the even forfeit all our hopes and heavens and the earth, the stars, the trees, the mountains, dreams, He is merely clearing the way in our hearts for His the seas, the ﬂowers, the family, and even each hair on each deliverance, His strength, and eternal rewards that inﬁnitely head will ultimately bring dwarf our meager hopes and about His deliverance in the shallow dreams. Indeed, “He life of the one who will trust delivered us from… deadly and obey Him. To a heart that peril, and He will deliver us. perseveres because of hope in God, the Lord ultimately brings On Him we have set our hope that He will deliver us again” about a great victory! (2 Corinthians 1:10 ESV). “For we do not want you to So if this God can deliver us be ignorant, brothers, of the from the deadly peril of our sin afﬂiction we experienced in through the atoning sacriﬁce of Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength His Son, can we not count on Him to “hold onto us” through that we despaired of life itself. the trials and tribulations that Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. He permits in our lives? “He Who did not spare His own But that was to make us rely Son but gave Him up for us all, not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead” (2 Corin- how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things?” thians 1:8-9 ESV). (Romans 8:32 ESV). So what can we say about No, I’m not suggesting that hardship and suffering that isn’t you “wax on and on” theologithe result of sin or selﬁshness cally when keeping company on our part, but seem instead to be allowed by God for either with the hurting, but knowing what God says in His Word no reason or reasons known We need more Faith or else as an obstruction on Faith, Love, Hope… these the road to building a better things seem to be in short supworld.

Be creative and be ready to go beyond what is necessary to be the friend this other may need. Cards, help with errands or chores, or thoughtful gestures that remind this friend or acquaintance that they’re not alone may be all it takes for him or her to continue to cling to the hope that only Jesus can provide. “If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and ﬁlled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” (James 2:15-17 ESV). So, stay on the lookout and let God make you a source of true encouragement today.

It therefore �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Faith From page 4 Men who don’t have faith in God are going to seek something to try to anchor their lives to. They might opt for politics, or science, or government, or family, or money, or pleasure, or a quasi-spirituality; but they are going to seek for something to ﬁll that hole within them which hungers after faith. Yet, all these other substitutes are going to fall short. They do fall short. And when we try to replace a genuine faith in God with something else, what we are going to end up with is what we now see in the world around us: a mess. Some might not want to believe this, but it is hard to argue with the evidence. So how do we ﬁx it? How do we increase our faith? God provides us an answer in His word, if we will listen: “So then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17) One can point to many “markers” on the road that leads us away from God, and away from faith: removal of prayer, legalization of abortion, broken marriages, unwed mothers, increased drug use, and the like. Yet, at the very beginning of it all, there was a turning away, at some point, from the word of God. How can we ﬁnd happiness and peace?

It is a false glory to purposely remain under the shadow of a constant dark cloud of misery when the Lord has other plans for us. As a matter of fact, the Lord’s consolation of rest confers communion with Him, which has in mind “the spreading of a tabernacle over.” As we unload on the Lord, we may live daily under the sunshine brightness, loving protection, and strong under-girding of God. I choose the Lord’s rest rather than any labor I may encounter. And, you? Here is the rub: if you take your burdens to church, be careful not to take them back home with you. The Lord wants us to be victorious people, not defeated people. He does not want us to be disciples constantly brooding over burdens. He does not want us to be disciples that hold onto burdens as a self-centered red badge of courage. Take your burdens to church if you have to. It makes for a good place to unload.

The solution is to go back to the Bible, read it, learn it, and then start living it. There is no substitution, no short-cut we can take to build a better community and a better world. We need more faith in our lives, and that means we need more of God’s word. We need to be reading it and learning it. We need to let it be the guide in our day to day lives. None of us can force our neighbors to spend more time in God’s word, learning it and building up their faith, but we can each begin with ourselves. We can each take the time to learn what God wants to teach us, and learning it, we can each start living it and sharing it. If we want a better world, we have to be the ones to decide to better ourselves. There are no other lasting solutions to our problems. Faith is the key, and God has already given us the answers we need. If you would like to learn God’s word, the church of Christ invites you to study and worship with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

Ah, free agency is back. It technically starts Sunday at 12:01 a.m. EDT in the East, 9:01 p.m. Saturday out West, but is already well underway everywhere in the sense that everybody is talking about what might happen. James is once again the biggest domino that will fall; Chuck Burton | AP file he may opt out of his conThe Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James is a superstar who could be in play when an NBA tract, but that doesn’t mean free-agent class with a little something for everyone hits the market Sunday. The group he’ll leave Cleveland — and includes superstars such as James, big men, glue guys and sharpshooters. he may opt in for nearly $36 million next season, but that doesn’t mean he’s certain to be staying, either. Boston guard Kyrie Irving has a word for these days: Pre-agency. “That’s actually a title to describe what’s going on now,” Irving said. “But yeah, we know that 12 a.m. July 1st, that’s when it just starts getting nutty.” James is hardly the only person who will create that nuttiness. Paul George has a decision to make about his future; stay in Oklahoma City or move on, with the Los Angeles Lakers believed to be his dream destination. San Antonio has big decisions to make about Kawhi Leonard; they can take a risk and keep him for the ﬁnal year of his contract, offer him a new deal or trade him elsewhere. And what happens in their cases will surely impact what James does, much in the same way the Chris Bosh decision in 2010 helped really pave the way for him to go to Miami. Thing is, nobody knows what’ll happen. Hence, the intrigue. “That’s the challenge in this league,” James said during the NBA Finals, when his Cavaliers were swept by Golden State. “I think every GM and every president and See LEBRON | 10 English soccer star Wayne Rooney signs with DC United WASHINGTON (AP) — Wayne Rooney is coming to Major League Soccer with D.C. United, the latest star to take his talents across the pond to the United States. Rooney follows the lead of Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic and retired countryman David Beckham by leaving Europe for MLS later in their careers. He signed a 3½ year designated-player contract with D.C. United and is expected to make his debut July 14 when the team opens its new stadium in Southeast Washington against the Vancouver Whitecaps. The 32-year-old Rooney “He is a worldis the all-time leading scor- class player and er for England’s national he elevates those team and Manchester Unitaround him, ed in the Premier League. “It is fantastic to be join- both through ing D.C. United at such his work ethic an exciting time in the and winning club’s history,” Rooney mentality.” said Thursday after D.C. — Dave Kasper, United announced the longGeneral manager, reported signing. “Moving D.C. United to America and MLS fulﬁlls another career ambition for me. I have the hunger to be a success here and will give D.C. 100 percent — as I have always done for every team I have ever played for.” Rooney leaves Everton, his boyhood team he returned to after playing for Manchester United. He scored 11 goals in 40 games in his second stint with Everton. Hours before the signing was announced, Rooney posted a photo to Twitter of himself on a plane with an American ﬂag emoji. The move will become ofﬁcial July 10 when the international transfer window opens. Rooney’s 208 Premier League goals are second behind only Alan Shearer’s 260. Rooney’s 53 goals and 119 games lead England in international play. Even at his age, Rooney gives D.C. United and MLS another headliner. “I think it’s the right move for him,” Beckham said. “I think that it’s exciting for the fans. People that watch the game and understand the game in the U.S., they know who Wayne Rooney is, they know who Zlatan is, they know these big players. So to actually see them perform in their league is something that’s special.” Adding Rooney gives last-place D.C. United a spark as it opens its new stadium not far from where the Nationals play. The club is 2-4-6 this season and could no doubt beneﬁt by adding a scorer such as Rooney. “He is a world-class player and he elevates those around him, both through his work ethic and winning mentality,” general manager Dave Kasper said. “We are beyond excited to add someone of Rooney’s caliber.” D.C. United managing general partner and CEO Jason Levien called signing Rooney a “seminal moment” for the organization. “Wayne is a global soccer icon and his presence at D.C. United will elevate our product on the pitch and soccer as a whole in our city and in this country,” Levien said. “Wayne has thrived when competing at the most elite levels of soccer and we’re thrilled to have his leadership as we enter this new era at Audi Field.” Whereas Beckham and Ibrahimovic joined the LA Galaxy in their 30s, Rooney chose a team on the East Coast, closer to England. Beckham considers it a positive for Rooney professionally and personally. ”I think he’ll do really well,” Beckham said. “I think D.C. is the right club for him. I think it’s a great city. I think it’s a great city for him to move to his family and enjoy the time that he’s going to be there.” Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Gallia Academy girls basketball coach Jordan Deel stands at the top of the gymnasium, following an open gym workout on Thursday in Centenary, Ohio. Blue Angels have new leader Deel takes reins of GAHS girls basketball By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com CENTENARY, Ohio — The Blue Angels have a new leader. At a recent meeting, the Gallipolis City School District Board of Education approved the hire of Jordan Deel as the next varsity girls basketball coach. “I’m very excited,” Deel said. “I have to thank the district for allowing me to take the position here. I’m very privileged to be a part of this district.” Deel is replacing Joe Justice, who in ﬁve seasons with the Blue Angels recorded a 49-68 overall record, with a pair of players joining the 1,000-point club. “Coach Justice did an excellent job of having the girls here working hard and getting better,” Deel said. “That’s something that I want to continue. We may have some different beliefs when it comes to offense and defense, but overall, Coach Justice left the program in a solid state. Beyond that, he left it with quite a lot of athletes, a lot of girls that can play right now, and a lot of returnees that have experience at the varsity level. It’s really nice for me to step into a position like that.” GAHS had just one senior graduate from last season’s 10-13 squad, which was the No. 4 seed in the Division II postseason, but was ousted in the sectional semiﬁnal by Fairﬁeld Union. Last winter marked the second straight campaign in which the Blue Angels reached double-digit wins. “They had some athletes and they were fun to watch,” Deel said of the 2017-18 Blue Angels’ squad. “We have some girls with some high basketball IQs, so I’m looking forward to coaching them. I think it’ll go smoothly when I try to install the rest of our offenses.” Gallia Academy Athletic Director Adam Clark hopes that hiring Deel will keep the program moving in the right direction. “I would like to see Coach Deel continue to grow the program’s numbers, as Coach Justice has done over the past couple years,” Clark said. “Gallia Academy has See COACH | 10 OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Tri-County Junior Golf Schedule included with the fee and will be served at the conclusion of play each week.

The Thunder have long maintained that they want to keep George, whom they acquired a year ago in a trade with the Indiana Pacers. “From the day that he arrived, we really made a speciﬁc and intentional effort to build a relationship with Paul and his representation built on three things: collaboration, transparency, and trust,” Thunder GM Sam Presti said after the season. “Those tenets were followed throughout the year and continued to be. I felt strongly about the relationship. I feel great about the communication and the honesty, about the way we started the relationship.” George is a ﬁve-time AllStar who just turned 28. For his career between Indiana and Oklahoma City, he’s averaged 18.6 points and 6.2 rebounds while connecting on 38 percent of his tries from 3-point range. Presti gambled a year ago by trading for George and Carmelo Anthony to join Westbrook in hopes of rejoining the NBA’s elite. It didn’t quite work out — the Thunder lost in the ﬁrst round of the playoffs for the second straight year. Japan advances on yellow cards despite losing at World Cup VOLGOGRAD, Russia (AP) — Amid a crescendo of boos and whistles as neither side tried to score, Japan advanced to the knockout round at the World Cup because of a newly implemented tiebreaker — fewer yellow cards. The Japanese, barely playing for the ﬁnal 15 minutes of the match, lost to Poland 1-0 Thursday. But they still reached the round of 16 because Colombia beat Senegal 1-0 in the other Group H match. Both Japan and Senegal ﬁnished the group phase with four points, had the same goal difference and the same amount of goals scored. Starting at this year’s tournament, disciplinary records — known as fair play — were added by FIFA as a tiebreaker. Japan had four yellow cards in its three group matches while Senegal had six. It’s the ﬁrst time since 1982 that no African team has advanced from the ﬁrst round at the World Cup. Poland, which had already been eliminated, got its goal from defender Jan Bednarek in the 59th minute. He beat his marker at the far post and volleyed in a swerving free kick from Rafal Kurzawa. Coach When Bednarek scored, Japan was facing elimination. However, Colombia’s goal in the 74th minute of the other group match in Samara meant Japan was in second place and would advance. As the game continued, it barely got above walking pace, prompting many inside the Volgograd Arena to show their displeasure by whistling and booing. During injury time, Japan’s players softly passed the ball among themselves, while their Polish opponents barely made an effort, content to ﬁnish the tournament with a victory following two losses. Japan coach Akira Nishino made six changes to the starting lineup ahead of the match — all four of Japan’s scorers in the previous two games were left on the bench. But the Japanese still had more of the chances in the ﬁrst half. Poland had an early chance to take the lead in the 32nd minute when Japan goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima stopped a header from Kamil Grosicki. Scampering across his goal before diving, Kawashima clawed the ball to safety just before it had crossed the line. to a 10-5 record in the 2016-17 season, and then led junior varsity Blue Devils to a 18-4 mark last From page 7 winter.

So this summer, with cap space for most teams at a premium, the biggest moves might have to come through trades. “There has been a lot of discussion with a lot of teams about a lot of players,” Heat President Pat Riley said. “I just feel there’s a restlessness on the part of teams, and also there’s a reluctance to do things. … It’s hard to pull the trigger on that kind of thing.” Golden State’s Kevin Durant will be a free agent in name only — he’s already said he’s returning to the Warriors. Golden State will spend free agency bolstering its bench, and the best team in the NBA should be better in the next couple of weeks. All that’s left to decide there is what terms Durant wants. “Whatever he wants,” Golden State general manager Bob Myers said. “Sometimes you don’t negotiate. … He’s earned the right to sign whatever deal he wants. I just want him to sign ‘a’ deal. I want him to be happy and want him to know that we want him as long as he wants to be here. He’s earned that, to kind of lay out the terms.” Philadelphia isn’t tampering, but isn’t being shy: Both coach Brett Brown and newly minted rookie of the year Ben Simmons have come out this offseason and said how much a great veteran will help their team. “Maybe that is a free agent, a big free agent who we can lean on and learn from,” Simmons said. He didn’t say “LeBron,” but sure sounds like James. Houston will look to add James as well in an effort to ﬁnd the formula that will supplant the Warriors. The Rockets nearly ousted Golden State in the Western Conference ﬁnals, wasting double-digit leads in both Game 6 and Game 7 of that series — all while Chris Paul, who seems likely to stay in Houston but could choose to leave, was sidelined with a bad hamstring. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
