IN BRIEF US jobless claims down 14,000 to 385,000 WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans applying for unemployment beneﬁts fell last week by 14,000 to 385,000, more evidence that the economy and the job market are rebounding briskly from the coronavirus recession. The Labor Department reported Thursday that unemployment claims — a proxy for layoffs — dropped last week from a revised 399,000 the week before. The applications have more or less fallen steadily since topping 900,000 in early January. Still, they remain high by historic levels: Before the pandemic slammed the United States in March 2020, they were coming in at around 220,000 a week. Since cratering in the spring of 2020, the U.S. economy has bounded back as the rollout of vaccines encourages businesses to reopen or return to normal operating hours and consumers to return to shops, restaurants and bars. The United States has been adding more than 540,000 jobs a month this year, and the Labor Department’s July jobs report out Friday is expected to show it tacked on nearly 863,000 more last month, according to a survey of economists by the data ﬁrm FactSet. The U.S. economy is still 6.8 million jobs short of where it stood in February 2020. Tokyo logs 5,042 cases as infections surge amid Games TOKYO (AP) — Tokyo reported 5,042 new coronavirus cases on Thursday, its most since the pandemic began as infections surge in the Japanese capital hosting the Olympics. Tokyo has been under a state of emergency since mid-July, and four other areas of the country have since been added. But the measures, basically shorter opening hours and a ban on alcohol for restaurants and bars, are increasingly ignored by the public, which has become tired of restrictions. “We need to tackle the situation now that we have a stronger sense of urgency,” Prime Minister Yosihide Suga told reporters, referring to Tokyo exceeding 5,000 new daily cases for the ﬁrst time. “The infections are expanding at a pace we have never experienced before.” Suga, who has been criticized for insisting on hosting the Olympics despite the coronavirus’s surge, says there is no evidence linking the increase in cases to the July 23-Aug. 8 Games. He urged people to ﬁrmly stick to the emergency requests and stay at home during summer vacation. The new cases brought Tokyo’s reported total to 236,138. The entire country registered more than 14,000 new cases on Wednesday, for a 970,460 total. Alarmed by the pace of the spread, some experts have called for the state of emergency to be expanded nationwide.

Biden also wants automakers to raise gas mileage and cut tailpipe pollution between now and model year 2026. That would mark a signiﬁcant step toward meeting his pledge to cut emissions and battle climate change as he pushes a history-making shift in the U.S. from internal combustion engines to battery-powered vehicles. He urged that the components needed to make that sweeping change — from batteries to semiconductors — be made in the United States, too, aiming for both industry and union support for the environmental effort, with the promise of new jobs and billions in federal electric vehicle investments. Pointing to electric vehicles parked on the White House South Lawn, the president declared them a “vision of the future that is now beginning to happen.” “The question is whether we lead or fall behind in the race for the future,” he said, “Folks, the rest of the world is moving ahead. We have to catch up.” In obvious good spirits, the president hopped into a plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler Rubicon that can run solely on batteries and took a quick spin around the driveway after the ceremony. Earlier Thursday, the administration announced there would be new mileage and anti-pollution standards from the Environmental Protection Agency and Transportation AP Photo | J. Scott Applewhite Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., leaves the chamber as lawmakers work to advance the $1 trillion bipartisan bill, at the Capitol in Washington Thursday. Senators wrapping up $1T infrastructure bill, voting ahead By Kevin Freking and Lisa Mascaro Associated Press WASHINGTON — Nearing decision time, senators are wrapping up work on the bipartisan infrastructure plan and talks were underway Thursday to expedite consideration of the nearly $1 trillion proposal, with votes expected in the days ahead. A much anticipated analysis of the bill from the Congressional Budget Ofﬁce concluded that the legislation would increase the national debt by about $256 billion over the next decade. Senators wanted that information before votes on the package, which could start soon and push into Saturday. The Senate has processed nearly two dozen amendments to the 2,700-page bill, a rare legislative undertaking, with more on tap. But none has substantially changed the framework of the public works package, which would send money for roads, bridges, water works, broadband and other projects to virtually every corner of the nation, and is a ﬁrst phase of President Joe Biden’s infrastructure priorities. “We can bring this bill to a close very shortly,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The package looks on track for Senate passage, a rare accord between Republicans and Democrats joining on a shared priority that also is essential to Biden’s agenda. Once the bill clears the Senate, lawmakers will turn to the much more partisan undertaking on the next phase of Biden’s agenda: a $3.5 trillion proposal for what the White House calls human infrastructure — child care support, home health care, education and other expenditures that are Democratic priorities that Republicans have pledged to reject. Debate will extend into the fall. Schumer wants the Senate to pass both the bipartisan package and a budget blueprint for the bigger proposal before senators depart for an August recess. Dividing lines set, senators are eager to wrap up. “I don’t think anybody’s looking to extend this out any longer than necessary,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told reporters. Key to watch will be how many Republicans join what’s expected to be all Democrats in supporting the bipartisan package as it heads toward votes. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky had promised to be “100% focused” on stopping Biden’s agenda, but when it comes to the bipartisan infrastructure plan, he’s sounding like a go.

But Cooke said he is concerned that the regulations extend the number of years automakers get double credit toward complying with the standards for every electric vehicle they sell. That allows more emissions from internal combustion vehicles, he said. Last week, The Associated Press and other news organizations reported that the Biden administration was discussing weaker mileage requirements with automakers, but they since have been strengthened. The change came after environmental groups complained publicly that they were too weak. Transportation is the single biggest U.S. contributor to climate change. The deal with automakers deﬁnes electric vehicles as plug-in hybrids, fully electric vehicles and those powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Environmental groups welcomed the movement but also said the administration should move faster. “Given how climate change has already turned our weather so violent, it’s clear that we need to dramatically accelerate progress,” said Simon Mui of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

The 2030 EV targets ultimately are nonbinding, and the industry stresses that billions of dollars in electricvehicle investments in legislation pending in Congress will be vital to meeting those goals. Only 2.2% of new vehicle sales were fully electric vehicles through June, according to Edmunds.com estimates. That’s up from 1.4% at the same time last year. Biden has long declared himself “a car guy,” his blue collar political persona intertwined with support for union workers and his role, as vice president, in steadying the auto industry after the economic collapse in 2008. He told General Motors CEO Mary Barra that he wanted to reserve a certain test drive. “I have a commitment from Mary: When they make the ﬁrst electric Corvette, I get to drive it,” Biden said. “Right, Mary? You think I’m kidding. I’m not kidding.” Dave Cooke, senor vehicles analyst for the Union of Concerned Scientists, said the new rules are close to matching the ﬁnal year of standards enacted when Barack Obama was president that were Department, part of Biden’s goal to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. It said the auto industry had agreed to a target that 40% to 50% of new vehicle sales be electric by 2030. Both the regulatory standards and the automakers’ voluntary target were included in an executive order that Biden signed as a gathering of auto industry leaders and lawmakers applauded. The standards, which must go through the regulatory process, would reverse fuel economy and antipollution rollbacks done under President Donald Trump. At that time, the mileage increases were reduced to 1.5% annually through model year 2026. The new standards would cut greenhouse gas emissions and raise fuel economy by 10% over the Trump rules in car model year 2023. They would get 5% stronger in each model year through 2026, according to an EPA statement. That’s about a 25% increase over four years. The EPA said that by 2026, the proposed standards would be the toughest greenhouse emissions rules in U.S. history.

OH-70218306 OH-70218312 446-9295 �Sports Ohio Valley Publishing Friday, August 6, 2021 5 US routs Australia to play for more basketball gold By Brian Mahoney AP Basketball Writer Eric Gay | AP Australia’s Jock Landale (13) goes to the basket over United States’s Kevin Durant (7) during men’s semifinal game at the 2020 Summer Olympics on Thursday in Saitama, Japan. The U.S. defeated Australia 97-78 and will play France for the gold medal on Saturday. SAITAMA, Japan — The U.S. has owned gold for three straight Olympics, making the middle of the medals platform property of the Americans. The Australians tried everything they could to shove them off. “They hit us with a nice punch,” Kevin Durant said after their men’s Olympic semiﬁnals matchup. “We knew that team was going to get us down early and see how we’d respond.” The response was not what Australia had hoped. Durant scored 23 points, Devin Booker had 20 and the U.S. blew past and eventually blew away the Aussies 97-78 on Thursday after falling into a 15-point hole. With their gold-medal streak looking in jeopardy midway through the second quarter, the Americans overwhelmed the Australians with a 48-14 stretch that gave them a 74-55 lead after three periods. The U.S. missed its ﬁrst 10 3-point attempts and didn’t hit one until late in the second quarter. Then it felt as if the Americans hardly missed again, with Booker making three 3-pointers. “Obviously, getting down 15 points you know you’ve got to bring it up a notch and that’s what we did,” Booker said. Jrue Holiday had 11 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the U.S., which will play France for a fourth straight gold medal Saturday. The French beat the Americans 83-76 in their Olympic opener. That was part of a 2-3 start to the summer for the U.S., which included a loss to the Australians in an exhibition game in Las Vegas. The Americans don’t look like that team anymore. They look like the best team in the world, like those that used to win gold with ease. It’s clear the Americans still have their grip on gold and it’s going to take more than a few bad minutes for anyone to take it away from them. Patty Mills scored 15 points for Australia, which still needs a win for its ﬁrst Olympic basketball medal. US women earn bronze medal with win over Australia By Anne M. Peterson AP Sports Writer KASHIMA, Japan — Although the color of their medal wasn’t what they wanted, the mettle of the team came through in the end. The United States salvaged a rocky tournament by winning bronze in women’s soccer at the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday. Megan Rapinoe and Carli Lloyd scored two goals each in a 4-3 win over Australia after opening the Tokyo Games with an uncharacteristic 3-0 loss to Sweden. “It’s very satisfying. I think we all realized we didn’t play the best this entire tournament,” U.S. captain Becky Sauerbrunn said. “So to have the response that we did after a very disappointing semiﬁnal, to show the USA mentality and the resiliency, to put the performance in that we wanted to be playing the entire time, and to ﬁnally ﬁnd it in a game like that — very satisfying.” The loss spoiled the Australians’ ﬁrst-ever trip to the medal round at the Olympics. No Australian soccer team, men or women, has ever won a medal. The Matildas were the underdogs against the United States, the top-ranked team in the world and the defending World Cup champions who came to Japan vying for gold. But the Americans struggled at times, including in a 1-0 loss to Canada in the semiﬁnals. The Canadians hadn’t defeated their North American counterparts since 2001. The U.S. team that came out against Australia looked completely different. “That was the U.S. mentality,” Lloyd said. “We played well, we strung some really good sequences together, scored some great goals. And I’m extremely proud of the way we persevered, they way we turned things around. We’re going home with a medal, and there’s no greater feeling than that.” Rapinoe scored directly from a corner kick in the eighth minute to give the Americans an early lead. It was the second time Rapinoe has scored an Olimpico, as goals from corners are known: She also had one in the semiﬁnals of the 2012 Olympics against Canada. Sam Kerr pulled the Australians even with a goal in the 17th minute that got past U.S. goalkeeper Adrianna Franch. Franch got her ﬁrst start in a major tournament in place of Alyssa Naeher, who injured her right knee in the U.S. team’s semiﬁnal loss to Canada. Just 27, Kerr became the all-time leading scorer for the Australians with 48 goals. She led all scorers remaining in the tournament with six goals. Rapinoe’s second goal came on a stunning volley in the 21st, and it became obvious that the Australians were missing defender Ellie Carpenter, who was handed a red card late in the Matildas’ 1-0 semiﬁnal loss to Sweden. Lloyd made it 3-1 in ﬁrst-half stoppage time when her left-footed shot got past Australia goalkeeper Teagan Micah. She added another on a break in the 51st minute, giving her a U.S. record 10 career Olympic goals. She is the ﬁrst American woman to score in four Olympics. Lloyd made her 312th appearance for the national team in the match, passing Christie Rampone for second on the all-time list. Kristine Lilly leads the career appearances list with 354. Lloyd is 39 and likely playing in her last major tournament. When she was replaced in the 81st minute, teammates ran over to offer handshakes and high-ﬁves, and the bench gave her a standing ovation. Lloyd said afterward that she had not made a decision about her future just yet. David J. Phillip | AP Hansle Parchment of Jamaica wins the men’s 110-meter hurdles final past Grant Holloway of the United States at the 2020 Summer Olympics on Thursday in Tokyo, Japan. Another rocky day for USA By Eddie Pells AP National Writer TOKYO — A ﬁve-minute burst of action near the backstretch of the Olympic track served up the perfect snapshot of what is going right, and all that is going wrong, for the U.S. track and ﬁeld team in Tokyo. At one moment in the pole vault pit Thursday night, Katie Nageotte cleared 4.90 meters (16 feet, 1 inch) and went running up to the stands to celebrate a gold medal that had looked like a lost cause only an hour earlier. At the next, just as the 400-meter sprinters approached the halfway point, American champion Michael Norman was steaming so far ahead of the competition, it became clear he could not sustain the pace. He didn’t. Norman ﬁnished fourth. The U.S. men’s sprinters, once the dominant power across the global track game, left the stadium without having won a single gold medal over the ﬁrst seven days of the nineday meet. But Nageotte’s gold, won in a tense back-andforth with Russian athlete Anzhelika Sidorova, was the third victory in the ﬁeld for the U.S., two of which have been won by women. With only two days left at Olympic Stadium, what started as anomaly can now be considered a trend: The U.S. women are doing well. The U.S. men are not. The U.S. overall is doing well in ﬁeld events. It is struggling overall on the track. Other instances that played out Thursday for the Americans: —Grant Holloway, the defending world champion who came .01 seconds short of the world record earlier this summer in the 110-meter hurdles, came .05 short of Jamaica’s Hansle Parchment, who won in 13.09. It was Jamaica’s third Olympic gold medal of the postUsain Bolt era. —Will Claye, considered as good a bet as any to win with the defending champion, Christian Taylor, on the sideline, ﬁnished fourth in triple jump. The winner: Pedro Pichardo of Portugal. Other winners on a day where eight gold medals were awarded included Naﬁssatou Thiam of Belgium (heptathlon) and Damian Warner of Canada (decathlon). Also, Massimo Stano won the 20-kilometer race walk, moved to Sapporo to try to beat the Tokyo heat, to give Italy its third gold medal in track. The U.S. closed Thursday with ﬁve — and 20 medals overall, which is 13 more than anyone else — and there have been some exceptions to the trends. Athing Mu and Sydney McLaughlin lived up to their hype to capture the country’s only two golds from the track. And Ryan Crouser gutted out an emotion-drenched victory to defend his Olympic shot put title. Very few would’ve ﬁgured Crouser’s win Thursday would be the ﬁrst in any event for the men, who make up about half of the deepest team in the world. Norman’s fourth-place ﬁnish capped a dreary day of running for the red, white and blue. He is something of a celebrity in Japan because his mother was born here and set a national middle-school record in the 100 meters. He was supposed to be part of a showdown with Steven Gardiner of the Bahamas, but Gardiner won this easily, in a time of 43.85 seconds, to add to his title from the world championships two years ago in Qatar. Much earlier in the day came a rite of passage for the U.S. at the Olympics: A debacle in the men’s 4x100 relay. This time, it was Fred Kerley and Ronnie Baker who got tangled up in an exchange, costing them precious time and leaving the U.S. not with a “DQ,” but with an unsightly “6” by its name. Sixth place means they won’t get to run for the ﬁrst relay gold since Bolt left the scene. One good chance — maybe the best one left — for the men’s sprinters might be in the 4x400 relay. The U.S. has won that event at seven of the last nine Olympics. Michael Cherry is expected to be part of that team. The 26-yearold Cherry, who ﬁnished a spot behind Norman in the 400, tried to put a positive spin on things. It is, he insisted, a young team heading into the unknown. According to USA Track and Field, 81 of the 133 members of the team are at their ﬁrst Games. “We’ve got college kids, we’ve got guys who just got out of college,” Cherry said. “So we’re a pretty young team. We’re going to dominate soon. Just everybody’s got to grow up and adjust.” Nageotte is 30, but fairly new to the major international stage. She’s now on a list with Jenn Suhr and Stacy Dragila as American Olympic champions in pole vault. It was so close to not happening. Nageotte, who battled COVID-19 earlier in the year only to return and go viral when she cleared a personal best (4.95) to win the Olympic trials, said she felt tightness in her leg during warmups. �COMICS 6 Friday, August 6, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Having A Yard Sale?

The U.S. defeated Australia 97-78 and will play France for the gold medal on Saturday. SAITAMA, Japan — The U.S. has owned gold for three straight Olympics, making the middle of the medals platform property of the Americans. The Australians tried everything they could to shove them off. “They hit us with a nice punch,” Kevin Durant said after their men’s Olympic semiﬁnals matchup. “We knew that team was going to get us down early and see how we’d respond.” The response was not what Australia had hoped. Durant scored 23 points, Devin Booker had 20 and the U.S. blew past and eventually blew away the Aussies 97-78 on Thursday after falling into a 15-point hole. With their gold-medal streak looking in jeopardy midway through the second quarter, the Americans overwhelmed the Australians with a 48-14 stretch that gave them a 74-55 lead after three periods. The U.S. missed its ﬁrst 10 3-point attempts and didn’t hit one until late in the second quarter. Then it felt as if the Americans hardly missed again, with Booker making three 3-pointers. “Obviously, getting down 15 points you know you’ve got to bring it up a notch and that’s what we did,” Booker said. Jrue Holiday had 11 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the U.S., which will play France for a fourth straight gold medal Saturday. The French beat the Americans 83-76 in their Olympic opener. That was part of a 2-3 start to the summer for the U.S., which included a loss to the Australians in an exhibition game in Las Vegas. The Americans don’t look like that team anymore. They look like the best team in the world, like those that used to win gold with ease. It’s clear the Americans still have their grip on gold and it’s going to take more than a few bad minutes for anyone to take it away from them. Patty Mills scored 15 points for Australia, which still needs a win for its ﬁrst Olympic basketball medal. US women earn bronze medal with win over Australia By Anne M. Peterson AP Sports Writer KASHIMA, Japan — Although the color of their medal wasn’t what they wanted, the mettle of the team came through in the end. The United States salvaged a rocky tournament by winning bronze in women’s soccer at the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday. Megan Rapinoe and Carli Lloyd scored two goals each in a 4-3 win over Australia after opening the Tokyo Games with an uncharacteristic 3-0 loss to Sweden. “It’s very satisfying. I think we all realized we didn’t play the best this entire tournament,” U.S. captain Becky Sauerbrunn said. “So to have the response that we did after a very disappointing semiﬁnal, to show the USA mentality and the resiliency, to put the performance in that we wanted to be playing the entire time, and to ﬁnally ﬁnd it in a game like that — very satisfying.” The loss spoiled the Australians’ ﬁrst-ever trip to the medal round at the Olympics. No Australian soccer team, men or women, has ever won a medal. The Matildas were the underdogs against the United States, the top-ranked team in the world and the defending World Cup champions who came to Japan vying for gold. But the Americans struggled at times, including in a 1-0 loss to Canada in the semiﬁnals. The Canadians hadn’t defeated their North American counterparts since 2001. The U.S. team that came out against Australia looked completely different. “That was the U.S. mentality,” Lloyd said. “We played well, we strung some really good sequences together, scored some great goals. And I’m extremely proud of the way we persevered, they way we turned things around. We’re going home with a medal, and there’s no greater feeling than that.” Rapinoe scored directly from a corner kick in the eighth minute to give the Americans an early lead. It was the second time Rapinoe has scored an Olimpico, as goals from corners are known: She also had one in the semiﬁnals of the 2012 Olympics against Canada. Sam Kerr pulled the Australians even with a goal in the 17th minute that got past U.S. goalkeeper Adrianna Franch. Franch got her ﬁrst start in a major tournament in place of Alyssa Naeher, who injured her right knee in the U.S. team’s semiﬁnal loss to Canada. Just 27, Kerr became the all-time leading scorer for the Australians with 48 goals. She led all scorers remaining in the tournament with six goals. Rapinoe’s second goal came on a stunning volley in the 21st, and it became obvious that the Australians were missing defender Ellie Carpenter, who was handed a red card late in the Matildas’ 1-0 semiﬁnal loss to Sweden. Lloyd made it 3-1 in ﬁrst-half stoppage time when her left-footed shot got past Australia goalkeeper Teagan Micah. She added another on a break in the 51st minute, giving her a U.S. record 10 career Olympic goals. She is the ﬁrst American woman to score in four Olympics. Lloyd made her 312th appearance for the national team in the match, passing Christie Rampone for second on the all-time list. Kristine Lilly leads the career appearances list with 354. Lloyd is 39 and likely playing in her last major tournament. When she was replaced in the 81st minute, teammates ran over to offer handshakes and high-ﬁves, and the bench gave her a standing ovation. Lloyd said afterward that she had not made a decision about her future just yet. David J.

Paul famously replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household (Acts 16:31; ESV).” Faith, the Bible teaches us, is essential to pleasing God (cf. Hebrews 11:6), and is a foundational necessity for salvation. Without faith, we cannot be saved. But what is faith? Or more to the point, what is the nature of that faith which would result in the salvation of the believer, according to the Gospel of Christ. Is it just a matter of saying the right words? Or is there something more involved? The same apostle would later write to his student Timothy, “Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. (1 Timothy 4:7-8; ESV)” If godliness has a promise for the life to come we can reasonably infer Paul to be saying that godliness is necessary in order to have eternal life. Relatedly, in the book of Hebrews we read this admonition: “Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14; ESV).” Is Paul, by teaching that godliness is necessary in order to make it to heaven contradicting his own statement about the saving power of faith the Lord was, in Christ? Is the but they also writer of Hebrews explained to him contradicting the what the proper importance of faith response to Jesus by teaching that would be. The holiness is vital if Jailer, on his part, we want to be in the presence of Search the sought to undo God in the hereScriptures the harm he had done to the bodafter? Or is it not Jonathan ies of the two more likely that the McAnulty preachers, and faith Paul spoke of then responded to the Philippian to Christ by being bapJailer of necessity incortized. The faith taught porated the pursuit of by Paul was more than holiness? It is worth noting what words. It called for happened after Paul told repentance and obedithe Jailer that he needed ence. Following His resurto believe in the Lord rection Jesus appeared Jesus. We read, “And to His followers and told they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all them: “All authority in heaven and on earth has who were in his house. been given to me. Go And he took them the therefore and make discisame hour of the night and washed their wounds; ples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of and he was baptized at the Father and of the Son once, he and all his family. (Acts 16:32-33; ESV)” and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe Paul and Silas had to all that I have commandexplain ﬁrst of all, who ed you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:18-20; ESV)” If you truly have faith in Jesus, you are going to have faith in His authority. If you have faith in Christ, you are going to want to follow His teachings, believing that He alone has the words of life (cf. John 6:68) and that only through following those teachings will we reach the Father (cf. John 14:6). If we have faith in Jesus, we are going to do those things He teaches us to do. As the Scriptures remind us, words about faith are all well and good, but let us demonstrate our true faith by the things that we do (cf. James 2:18). Likewise, if we have faith in Christ, we have faith that His words guide us in righteousness, holiness, and godliness. The apostle Paul wrote, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew ﬁrst and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.’ (Romans 1:1617; ESV)” There is no biblical tension between faith and righteousness, for the one leads to the other, and vice versa. Believing on Jesus, truly believing in Him according to the Gospel, compels a choice. If we say we have faith, but we refuse to listen to Him, our actions belie our words. When we do believe, we will follow Him where He leads, obeingy all that He commanded and walking the righteous path He laid before us.

You need to drink to stay hydrated, so many of you have sports drinks to help you cool off. You might even drink one called Gatorade, a sports drink named after the Miami Gators Football team because it was ﬁrst made to help them stay hydrated when playing football games in Florida where it gets very hot. Tell me though, even after you drink water, Gatorade, or another brand of sports drink, do you NEVER get thirsty again? Of God’s Kids course not! In a little while, you get and need another drink of Korner thirsty something. Let me tell you about one Ann of Jesus’ teachings in the Bible where Moody He talks about never getting thirsty again because of what He calls “living water.” One day Jesus was walking through a town in Samaria. He was hot and tired, so He sat down beside a well to rest. A woman came to the well to get some water, and Jesus asked her if she would give Him a drink. The woman was surprised that Jesus spoke to her because Jews would not usually speak to Samaritans. She said to Him, “Why do You ask me for a drink since You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan?” Jesus answered and said, “If you knew who was asking you for a drink, you would ask Him for a drink, and He would give you living water.” The woman replied, “You don’t even have anything to get water in, so how can You give me living water?” Then Jesus said, “Whoever drinks the water from this well will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst again.” Wow, water that would satisfy your thirst so that you would never be thirsty again! Jesus wasn’t talking about our thirst for regular water or even Gatorade; He was talking about our thirst for God. The Bible teaches us that we have a thirst (longing) in our heart for the living God — and that is a thirst that only Jesus can satisfy. So when we have Jesus in our heart, He satisﬁes our need for God with living water in our hearts, and we will never thirst again because Jesus is life! He ﬁlls the emptiness and longing we each have for love and forgiveness as our Lord and Savior. Let’s say a prayer. Dear Lord, thank You for being our living water, so we may never feel unloved or unforgiven. May we always remember to come to You and drink of Your living water, so we can worship and serve You as we grow into adults. In Your holy name we pray, Amen. You can stop trying to figure it out I used to be an early riser. But I’m becoming more of a night owl. It’s common for me to drink a cup of coffee at 10 o’clock and go to bed around 1 o’clock in the morning. During this time, I typically catch up on some reading or work on seminary assignments. I’m not the biggest fan of this change in my circadian rhythm. But I reckon one of the beneﬁts of staying up late is watching my cat do stupid things. Let me tell you a story. My cat stood on the arm of the couch staring at a lamp base on our side table for nearly two hours Monday night. And every so often, Cross she would swat at it. Then, she Words would meow a little, make the lamp Isaiah shade move, and walk around for a Pauley few minutes before returning to the couch. There must have been a reason why she was so fascinated with that lamp. Maybe there was an insect. Maybe one of Jordy’s hair ties. I’m not sure. And frankly, I don’t care. It was just entertaining to watch. But through this silly experience, the Lord opened my eyes to something. I’m more like a cat than I thought. I spend hours of my time each day obsessing over the tiniest things. While the world spins around me, I’m staring at my problems, swatting at my anxieties, and oblivious to God’s presence. It’s called distraction. Worry. Maybe even a touch of OCD. And at face value, it’s a lot like a cat enamored by a tiny insect when there are more important things to focus on. Who or what are you obsessing over today? Because that’s the object of your worship. The psalmist writes, “Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!” (Ps. 34:3 ESV). It’s easy for us to become focused on the things we can’t control. We obsess over the details. Before long, we lose sight of God’s presence. And we forget to pray. Even in the most difﬁcult seasons of life when uncertainties loom on the horizon, God is faithful. He can be trusted. And we can rest in Him rather than trying to ﬁgure everything out. I don’t know about you, but I need to learn how to take a seat on the couch of grace. I need to learn how to rest in the arms of my Savior. And stop trying to ﬁgure it out. Allow me to end with a promise from Scripture. “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Rom. 8:28 ESV). Friday, August 6, 2021 9 Reach out to the Lord Over the course of this past week, my life has been touched by hopelessness in places where I did not expect to ﬁnd it. From a psycho/ sociological point of view, I suppose that I can identify slews of contributing factors avalanching down upon us from the painful year we’ve all endured together, as confusion, distrust, loneliness, disillusionment, and despair have multiplied like ravenous locusts devouring any shred of hope and optimism people may have previously held. That in of itself would almost seem to be sufﬁcient in explaining the brief glimpses I’ve had into the deep pain that others have had. It seems that more than a few of us are reeling not so much from the general malaise that our collective calamities have induced, but rather from those things that now have access to our weary and worn souls which have been overburdened by the weight of our sin-sick world. But there is a spiritual dimension in all mountains tremble of this that must at its swelling…. be addressed if The nations rage, we hope to ﬁnd the kingdoms strength for each totter; He utters day.

This year makes our forty-sixth year. We probably would have had a little more time for which to account, but it took God a full year before He could convince her that I was the one for her. In so many terms, I guess God has trouble with the women, too. Nonetheless, we have had a most excellent run with each other. We have made a lifetime of investment in each other, and we together have gotten good gains from it. Conﬁdence in the other and companionship with each other has been constantly comforting. We have been blessed together during lots of good times, and we have endured together during some bad times. And, I believe that, as we at this point have gotten older, our presence with each other has become more enriched. Even after forty-six years, if one of us is called out to eternity, it will not have been enough time with each other. But, our investment makes for a speciﬁc spiritual comparison.

This act of investment proves His grace directed toward us. Thank God for His willingness to invest in us. But, this raises a question: what kind of gains is God getting from His investment in us? A gain that God expects is that the Christian bring Him honor and glory. God expects the gain of our worship. God expects the gain of our faithfulness. God expects the gain of our service. What kind of gains is God getting from us in return? It is a fair question. One more thing, God invested His Son so that we would have Heaven to go to one day. Our third son, Eran, went to Heaven on the very day of our twenty-seventh anniversary. Both of us are very grateful for the gain of that investment.
