Meigs County Commissioners remember 9/11 with proclamation By Staff Report Free COVID-19 tests available at many local libraries By Kayla (Hawthorne) Dunham khawthorne@aimmediamidwest. com The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) announced earlier this week free, rapid COVID-19 tests are available at many local libraries around the state. The press release from ODH said the department purchases the rapid at-home tests in efforts to make tests publicly accessible statewide. In August, libraries have provided more than 53,000 tests statewide. ODH purchased the tests earlier this year and partnered with the Ohio Library Council “to make the tests available to anyone for any reason,” according to the press release. In Meigs County, the libraries in Pomeroy, Racine, Middleport and at Eastern Local are sites to pick up the rapid, at-home tests. However, as of Friday morning, tests were not available at any of the four sites due to the demand. The Meigs County District Public Library told Ohio Valley Publishing more tests have been ordered and the libraries are making a list of requests for the tests. When the tests arrive, the library employees will contact individuals on the list.

Flecks of rust had formed on the rims of her eyeglasses, their lenses shattered and gone. Those everyday items were the remnants of a young life that ended when a hijacked jetliner struck the north tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

Over the years, the museum has collected about 22,000 personal artifacts to help tell the stories of those who died and those lucky to survive. Many of those personal effects were plucked from the ruins of what was once the Twin Towers. Other items were donated by survivors or by the families of those who perished. be married when she was killed while on a business trip from Chicago — her first visit to New York City. Her belongings, still smelling of Ground Zero, evoked mostly sorrow for Haberman’s family. To ease their pain, they donated the artifacts to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. “These are not the happy things you want to remember someone by,” said Gordon Haberman, her father. The collection of some 22,000 personal artifacts — some on display at the 9/11 museum, and others on display at other museums around the country — provide a mosaic of lost lives and stories of survival: wallets, passports, baseball gloves, shoes, clothes and rings.

Funeral arrangements will be announced by the Ewing-Schwarzel Funeral Home in Pomeroy. Support for area grandparents Can you imagine what this world would be like without grandparents? Did you know, like Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day we have a whole day that we celebrate grandparents? This year National Grandparents’ Day is September 12th. President Jimmy Carter recognized Marian McQuade as the founder of this special day. In 1977, senators introduced a joint resolution requesting the President “issue annually a proclamation designating the first Sunday of September after Labor Day of each year as National Grandparents’ Day and Congress passed the legislation. On August 3rd, 1978 President Carter signed the proclamation. A year later, this special day was celebrated. Meigs McQuade wanted the youth to Health know about the importance of Matters seniors and their contributions Kim Casci made throughout history. She encouraged everyone to “adopt” a senior and learn more about their lives, their goals, accomplishments and their challenges. Ways to celebrate this day vary depending on family traditions and history. Many grandchildren show their love with gifts and candy. If you don’t have a grandparent, I encourage you to adopt a nonrelative as your grandparent. In the United States, there are approximately 2.7 million grandparents raising their grandchildren. Children living with their grandparents are more likely to have been exposed to violence, lived with someone who had drug or alcohol addictions or even mental health problems in the past. Across the nation, grandparents have stepped up to be caregivers for a variety of reasons. These grandparents often face several challenges and difficulties. Many grandparents would rather have these struggles than to watch their grandchildren be placed into foster care or temporary placement. Often children experience behavioral issues and, with their parents not being in their lives, it makes this harder to handle. With the right resources and support, grandparents can conquer these issues and provide the child the help he/she needs. In Meigs County, we continue to see an increase in grandparents receiving full or temporary custody of their grandchildren. If you or someone you know has custody of a child under the age of five, they may qualify for supplemental nutrition assistance via the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program. You can contact the Meigs County WIC office at 740-992-0392 (Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. - noon or 1-4 p.m.) for more information. Kim Casci is the WIC Clerk at the Meigs County Health Department.

The youngest son of William Lambert and Georgia Esther Bush, and the little brother of Bill Bush and Patty Bush Stutes. Raised in southeast Ohio, his life revolved around cattle from a very young age. He was an honors graduate of Gallia Academy High School, and had the Grand Champion Steer at both the Gallia County and the Ohio State Fair in 1970. The sale of those steers allowed him to continue his education at The Ohio State University. He was a member of 4-H, FFA, and the Ohio Junior and American Junior Charloais Associations. After college he returned to Gallipolis where he worked with his dad on Triple E Farms for the Emerson Evans Family. From there, he moved down to manage Blue Ridge Farms in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Dean eventually moved this group of cattle down to Gainesville, Fla. where he managed the herd at Ivan Park Farms. In a huge leap of faith, he stepped away from the Charloais breed he’d known his whole life and took a position with a small Polled Hereford Ranch in Bryceville, Fla. River Divide Ranch became home to his family. He worked to grow this Polled Hereford Ranch into one of the most successful in the state. He lived for this ranch and the cattle he raised. He could trace back bloodlines like no one else, and, although he loved to play with new genetics, his proudest moments were when those homegrown heifers or bulls won a show. River Divide won many top honors and raised many Premier bulls and heifers in the state. But, he was most proud of helping the Ranch become the Premier Polled Hereford Exhibitor in the State of Florida for ten consecutive years. He shared his love for the cattle industry in many ways. He sold market steers to kids all across the state. He loved to guide and help them through the project and did his best to attend as many shows as possible to watch them. He loved helping the University of Florida Livestock Judging Team by hosting judging workouts at the ranch or providing cattle for judging competitions. He was also an advisor for the Junior Florida Cattlemen’s Association and the Florida Junior Polled Hereford Association. Dean was very proud of his family. His daughters, Rachel Bush Newbauer and Katherine Bush Williams both graduated from the University of Florida and were both Florida Cattlemen’s Sweetheart (1998 and 2001). Both girls are married (Rob Newbauer and Curt Williams) and gave Dean six grandkids - Julian Elizabeth, Ava Clare, Cooper Story, Robert Everette, Sloan Evelyne, and Cash Lambert. If you had a conversation with him, you heard these names! From gymnastics, volleyball and baseball games, swim meets, fishing, dinosaurs and Barbie dolls, he was obsessed with everything they did. And boy did they love their “B-Pa”! Dean retired from River Divide Ranch in 2017. He spent retirement with his family, traveling, visiting friends, and still attending shows throughout the state. He was always known to have a good joke waiting and loved to tell stories. He leaves behind a legacy of love and friendship. His favorite saying was “the people who matter understand; the people who don’t understand, don’t matter.” If he called you a friend, you definitely mattered! ALLEN W. ROSS GALLIPOLIS — Allen W. Ross, 51, of Gallipolis, Ohio, passed away on Tuesday, September 7, 2021 at his home. Born on May 24, 1970 in Gallipolis, Allen was the son of the late Merlyn G. Ross and Edith S. Ross, who survives, him in Gallipolis. Allen loved spending time with his friends, but most of all his family. His laughter and humor was infectious and he found joy in music by singing, playing guitar, and was always up for a good jam session! In his younger years, he was very involved in theater and performed many roles on stage. Allen never knew a stranger. He received anyone he met with a smile and kind words. He will be missed more than we can say, but his soul will live on forever in our memories. In the words of Allen Ross, “God Bless and Bicycle!!” Allen is survived by his daughter, Kathleen Constanza Ross of Chicago, Illinois; mother, Edith Ross; sister, Steffi (Kevin) Purcell of Troy, Ohio; niece, Alli Purcell of Athens, Ohio; and nephew, Rob (Cayla) Purcell of Athens, Ohio. In addition to his father, Allen was preceded in death by his sister, Lani Ross in 1976. A Memorial Service will be held for Allen at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, September 14, 2021 at Grace United Methodist Church with Pastor Ray Kane officiating. The Memorial Service for Allen may be viewed on Facebook Live at Willis Funeral Home, Gallipolis, Ohio Facebook Page.

TODAY IN HISTORY The Associated Press Today is Saturday, Sept. 11, the 254th day of 2021. There are 111 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed as 19 al-Qaida hijackers seized control of four jetliners, sending two of the planes into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania. On this date: In 1789, Alexander Hamilton was appointed the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. In 1814, an American fleet scored a decisive victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Champlain in the War of 1812. In 1936, Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) began operation as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a key in Washington to signal the startup of the dam’s first hydroelectric generator. In 1941, groundbreaking took place for the Pentagon. In a speech that drew accusations of anti-Semitism, Charles A. Lindbergh told an America First rally in Des Moines, Iowa, that “the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration” were pushing the United States toward war. In 1967, the comedyvariety program “The Carol Burnett Show” premiered on CBS. In 1973, Chilean President Salvador Allende died during a violent military coup. In 1985, Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds cracked career hit num- ber 4,192 off Eric Show (rhymes with “how”) of the San Diego Padres, eclipsing the record held by Ty Cobb. (The Reds won the game, 2-0). In 2003, actor John Ritter died six days before his 55th birthday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California — the same hospital where he was born in 1948. In 2006, in a primetime address, President George W. Bush invoked the memory of the victims of the 9/11 attacks as he staunchly defended the war in Iraq, though he acknowledged that Saddam Hussein was not responsible for the attacks. In 2008, presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama put aside politics as they visited ground zero together on the anniversary of 9/11 to honor its victims. In 2012, a mob armed with guns and grenades launched a fiery nightlong attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost and a CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. In 2015, a crane collapsed onto the Grand Mosque in Mecca, killing 111 people ahead of the annual hajj pilgrimage. Roberta Vinci stunned Serena Williams to end her Grand Slam bid in one of the greatest upsets in tennis history; the 43rd-ranked Italian won 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the U.S. Open semifinals.

Mike DeWine said Friday. The directive issued by Biden, a Democrat, a day earlier could require vaccines for as many as 100 million Americans, including private-sector employees, health care workers and federal contractors. “I think the President made a mistake by announcing federal vaccine mandates,” DeWine, a Republican, said in a tweet. “We should be focused on the science of preventing virus spread — the vaccine is our best tool to stop COVID — but people and business owners should make their own decisions about vaccination,” the governor tweeted. DeWine took an early and aggressive stance against the coronavirus, becoming the first governor to close schools in the spring of 2020 and later issuing a statewide mask mandate. But he’s stepped back from talk of mandates since, hinting his hands were tied by fellow Republican lawmakers when they passed a bill limiting an Ohio governor’s ability to issue public health orders. However, DeWine also opposes a GOP bill currently pending in the Legislature that would prohibit employers from requiring vaccines of any kind. He similarly called that bill “a mistake,” saying specifically that, in the case of hospitals, it would strip their authority to decide how to keep patients safe.

The Wagners spent months planning the killings and targeted some of the victims, but “some sadly were killed because they happened to be there,” said special prosecutor Angela Canepa. Most of the victims were repeatedly shot in the head, and some showed signs of bruising. Three young children at the scenes were unharmed. The victims were 40-year-old Christopher Rhoden Sr.; his ex-wife, 37-year-old Dana Rhoden; their three children, 20-yearold Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 16-year-old Christopher Jr., and 19-year-old Hanna; Clarence Rhoden’s fiancee, 20-year-old Hannah Gil- defendants was also part of the deal, they said.

The Wagners used guns with homemade silencers, allowing them to kill their victims as they slept, according to the prosecutors.

Wagner approached prosecutors about a deal and gave them new information after her son pleaded guilty, Canepa said. Jake Wagner pleaded guilty in April on the fifth anniversary of the slayings and said in court that he was “deeply and very sorry.” He hasn’t been sentenced, but his lawyer said he understood that he would spend his life in prison. Christopher Rhoden Sr.’s brother, Tony Rhoden Sr., has said the family was grateful for the first plea as “some semblance of justice.” He also has sued the Wagners. That case is pending.

The eight continuing members of the Big 12 unanimously approved applications from the four schools that sought membership after the league learned the Sooners and Longhorns will leave for the Southeastern Conference no later than July 2025. Formal approval of the invites was pending on some campuses, but the expansion is all but done. In fact, BYU said all its sports will begin Big 12 schedules in the 2023-24 athletic season. BYU is an independent in football, but competes in the West Coast Conference for basketball and socalled Olympic sports like track and swimming. Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said current American Athletic Conference teams UCF, Cincinnati and Houston will join no later than July 1, 2024, but said he “certainly wouldn’t foreclose” on the possibility of them coming in a year earlier with BYU. The AAC requires members to give 27 months’ notice if they plan to leave the league, though there could be negotiations between the schools and that league to reduce that time. AAC Commissioner Mike Aresco said the league expected Houston, Cincinnati and UCF to “abide by the conference bylaws to ensure an amicable and orderly transition” as the league considers its options. “Today’s news confirms what we have said all along regarding our status as a power conference,” Aresco said.

Power crews reached a “major milestone” in the New Orleans area by restoring electricity to the vast majority of customers, Phillip May, chief executive of the state’s largest power provider, Entergy Louisiana, said in a conference call with reporters Thursday. About 201,000 of Entergy’s 205,000 customers, or 98% percent, now have power, the company said, and those that don’t had more severe damage.

Many of those personal effects were plucked from the ruins of what was once the Twin Towers. Other items were donated by survivors or by the families of those who perished. A woodworking square, screwdriver, pry bar and a toolbelt represent Sean Rooney, a vice president at Aon Corp. who died in the South Tower. Rooney’s essence was that of “a builder,” his sister- in-law Margot Eckert said, making the carpenter’s tools donated to the museum the “perfect antidote to the destruction.” Rooney had phoned his wife, Beverly Eckert, at their home in Stamford, Connecticut, after being trapped by fire and smoke on the 105th floor. He spent his last breaths recounting happier times, whispering, “I love you,” as he labored for air. His remains were never found. Beverly died eight years later in a plane crash while traveling to her husband’s high school in Buffalo, New York, to award a scholarship in his honor. Before she died, she had set aside the items she hoped would help tell her husband’s story, that of a weekend carpenter, handyman and volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. “We have a gravesite for her, we don’t have a gravesite for Sean,” Margot Eckert said. “Artifacts become very important. And artifacts are the facts that someone lived. They are the facts you can touch.” For Robert Chin’s family, the story was about a love for playing softball. They recounted his first hit — a drive down the third-base line — playing for Fiduciary Trust International. To help savor the moment, his teammates scribbled congratulatory notes on the ball before presenting it to him. Among the names on the ball were Pedro Francisco Checo and Ruben Esquilin Jr., who also died with Chin that day. That dusty softball Chin had kept at home is included among the trove of keepsakes in the 9/11 museum’s collection. Not all of the donated artifacts are on behalf of those who died. Some came from those who survived 9/11. Linda Raisch-Lopez donated her bloodied patent leather heels to represent her will to survive on a day she ran for her life. As she made her way down a stairwell from the 97th Floor of the South West Virginia According to the 10 a.m. update on Friday from DHHR, there have been 205,783 total cases since the beginning of the pandemic, with 2,379 reported since Thursday. There have been a total of 3,207 deaths due to COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, with 18 since Thursday. There are 24,532 active cases in the state, with a daily positivity rate of 11.64 percent and a cumulative positivity rate of 5.43 percent. As of Friday, statewide, 1,142,836 West Virginia residents have received at least one dose of the COVID19 (63.8 percent of the population). A total of 51.7 percent of the population, 925,696 individuals have been fully vaccinated. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Somewhere on her way to a Hudson River pier, she had slipped back into her shoes, smearing blood on the tan leather from her cut and blistered feet. Just a small part of the museum’s collection of artifacts is ever on display because there are too many to show at any one time. When not in public view, the artifacts are kept offsite, most in a facility across the Hudson River in New Jersey and others stored in a warehouse near Albany, New York. Row after row of shelves are stacked with boxes filled with tragedy and remembrance. “Each piece is a little part of a puzzle,” Ramirez said. “Having those important, little pieces of truth, those palpable pieces of truth — those bridges to allow people to get engaged in the story — is why we do what we do and will continue to do what we do.” More than 220,000 homes and businesses remained without power Friday in southeast Louisiana, according to the state Public Service Commission. And while Baton Rouge and New Orleans were almost completely restored, the four hardesthit parishes -- St. John the Baptist, St. Charles, Terrebonne and Lafourche -- still had 80% or more of their utility customers without power. Now that power is mostly restored to New Orleans and Baton Rouge, more crews are heading south to the areas hardest-hit by the storm, May said Friday. “As we move into those harder-hit areas, the effort to restore customers becomes greater,” said May, who vowed to “keep up the pace” of restoring electricity across the region. Other parts of the state’s health care network, which was slammed with COVID-19 cases even before Ida, are struggling. Executives of Ochsner Health System, Louisiana’s largest care provider, estimate it will take about four weeks to get two of its damaged hospitals fully operational. 20 years later, fallout from toxic WTC dust cloud grows By David B. Caruso Associated Press NEW YORK — The dust cloud caught Carl Sadler near the East River, turning his clothes and hair white as he looked for a way out of Manhattan after escaping from his office at the World Trade Center. Gray powder billowed through the open windows and terrace door of Mariama James’ downtown apartment, settling, inches thick in places, into her rugs and children’s bedroom furniture. Barbara Burnette, a police detective, spat the soot from her mouth and throat for weeks as she worked on the burning rubble pile without a protective mask. Today, all three are among more than 111,000 people enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program, which gives free medical care to people with health problems potentially linked to the dust. Two decades after the twin towers’ collapse, people are still coming forward to report illnesses that might be related to the attacks. To date, the U.S. has spent $11.7 billion on care and compensation for those exposed to the dust -- about $4.6 billion more than it gave to the families of people killed or injured on Sept. 11, 2001. More than 40,000 people have gotten payments from a government fund for people with illnesses potentially linked to the attacks. Scientists still can’t say for certain how many people developed health problems as a result of exposure to the tons of pulverized concrete, glass, asbestos, gypsum and God knows what else that fell on Lower Manhattan when the towers fell. Many people enrolled in the health program have conditions common in the general public, like skin cancer, acid reflux or sleep apnea. In most situations, there is no test that can tell whether someone’s illness is related to the Trade Center dust, or a result of other factors, like smoking, genetics or obesity. Over the years, that has led to some friction between patients who are absolutely sure they have an illness connected to 9/11, and doctors who have doubts. “Most people thought I was crazy back then,” Mariama James says. She initially had a hard time persuading doctors that the chronic ear infections, sinus issues and asthma afflicting her children, or her own shortness of breath, had anything to do with the copious amounts of dust she had to clean out of her apartment. Years of research have produced partial answers about 9/11 health problems like hers. The largest number of people enrolled in the federal health program suffer from chronic inflammation of their sinus or nasal cavities or from reflux disease, a condition that can cause symptoms including heartburn, sore throat and a chronic cough.

He often visited the old St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church to say a prayer and light a candle as he went to or from work nearby on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center’s north tower. The church stood as a quiet oasis amid the soaring financial district. John Katsimatides “was thrilled that there was a Greek church right across the street from where he worked,” recalled his sister, Anthoula Katsimatides. “St. Nicholas was very special to him.” In the immediate aftermath the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, John’s relatives held on to hope that he might have survived. They put up missing-person posters in Lower Manhattan and searched the streets and hospitals for him. But as the days stretched into weeks, “our priest insisted that we, for the sake of his soul, read the prayer rites” marking his death, Anthoula said. John, 31, a corporate bonds broker at Cantor Fitzgerald, was among the nearly 3,000 people killed on 9/11. The old St. Nicholas church was also destroyed that day. While no one was killed in the building, it was crushed beneath the falling south tower — the only house of worship destroyed in the attacks. to become a signature American expression of Eastern Orthodoxy, an ancient Christian communion that still predominates in Greece and much of Eastern Europe but has a slender share of the U.S. Christian population. In addition to its sanctuary, the shrine will have a separate space for meditation and reflection for people of all faiths. “It’s going to have a rich liturgical life” as a church, said Michael Psaros, vice chairman of the Friends of St. Nicholas, the private entity overseeing the project in cooperation with the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. “But this beautiful shrine we’re building belongs to New York, it belongs to the U.S., and it belongs to the world.” Jessie Wardarski | AP That inclusiveness A crane lifts sections of marble onto the dome of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine in New York.

Placed in the garden with her husband, Adam, she was blessed with access to every sort of fruit, and all the necessities of life. Yet there was one fruit, a lone tree in the midst of the garden, that she was forbidden to eat: the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (cf. Genesis 2:1517). Why, we might ask ourselves, was the one thing forbidden to man a certain sort of knowledge? What was God trying to teach us? The tempter, in the form of a serpent, came to Eve, questioning her concerning her ability to partake of the fruit of the garden: “Did God really forbid you from eating any fruit?” When Eve helpfully clarified that they were only forbidden the one fruit (cf. Genesis 3:1-3), trade-off. Eating and that eating it of the fruit, the promised death, two progenitors the serpent lied of our race found through his pointed themselves cut off teeth, telling Eve, from their paradise, “You will not surely separated from the die. For God knows relationship they that when you eat Search the had with the Father, of it your eyes will be opened, and you Scriptures and cursed upon Jonathan the earth, destined will be like God, McAnulty to die physically, knowing good and even as they had evil. (Genesis 3:4-5; already died spiritually. ESV)” We live in an age where It is a curious thing, knowledge is more availwhen we consider that Adam and Eve were made able than ever. Smart phones, computers, the in the image of God (cf. internet, search engines Genesis 1:27), that the all combine to provide temptation put before them was that they could, ready access to the entire through the acquisition of library of knowledge knowledge “be like God,” available to men. There is a temptation to think that as if the only thing that such a plethora of knowlseparated God from man was how much God knew edge makes us more godlike. Like Eve, we might that man did not. The promise of this knowledge be tempted to think that gave the illusion of power we can reach a point and control, but it proved where we no longer need God. But if we fall prey hollow. The knowledge gained was not worth the to such thinking, we are, Confession is not necessarily just good for the soul A couple of the brothers and their families were with us recently. Terry fixed a good evening meal. The fellowship was good. As we sat reflecting on life in general, one of our sons said, “I have a confession to make.” And, he went on to tell about something he had done a long time ago. It was a serious transgression. Everyone sluffed it off, saying that they knew all about it. But, I am thinking, “I did not know anything about it.” And, I opened up about it, “Why was Dad not informed about this.” Before a satisfactory explanation could be given to me, the other son said, “Well, since confession is good for the soul, I have a confession to make, too.” He went on to relate something he had done one time when we were on vacation. It was an even more serious transgression. Everyone said that they knew all about it. But, I did not know about it. I looked at Terry. She nodded. Even she knew about it. “And, you kept Pastor Ron it from me, too?” I asked intensely. Branch I was absolutely flabbergasted and Contributing deeply offended. After all this time, columnist each of them had successfully kept their father / husband in the dark from knowing about either of the incidents. If anyone should have been told, it was me! Apparently, the timing of their confessions had become a matter of convenience. Since then, I have been considering the issue of confession. I have seen over the years that many people associated with the church have a dread and disdain for confession. Actually, confession is an important spiritual concern. Confession comes to play in a variety of situations, but it is most important when it comes to God. The Lord wants us to confess specifically to Him whenever we commit sin. It is not that confession is as good for the soul as it is for relationship. First of all, we cannot hide anything from God. Even if other people are privy to it and do not say anything about it, or whether they do not refer anything about it, God still knows. It a matter that falls into God’s purview of “omniscience.” But, it becomes more directly related to fellowship with God. When we commit sin and do not confess it, right fellowship with God is broken with God. Unconfessed sin builds a barrier between God and us. Such a rift grieves the Lord. Consequently, it hinders the quality of relationship God wants to have with us. Next, if we do not confess sin, we miss out on His forgiveness. The Scripture is pointed on this issue, “If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Jesus Christ died on the Cross that we might have right relationship and fellowship with God, and it is His shed blood that provides the basis for God being willing to forgive so that relationship with Him may be sustained or restored. Micah wrote, “Who is a God like unto thee that pardons iniquity…He retains not His anger forever for He delights in mercy…He will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.” The Psalmist describes the forgiveness of the Lord in terms of casting out sins as far as the east is from the west. Confession of sin is key to gaining the forgiveness of Lord about our transgression. Another factor involving confession has to do with conviction. When we commit sin, we become guilty of having broken God’s law. Confession is the way we have to admitting our guilt to God. The Holy Spirit becomes a significant player on this point because one of His roles is to make us clear about our guilt by way of conviction. By submitting to conviction, we are led to respond openly to the Lord, confession being the effect of the conviction of facts. When we put off confession, we actually deny the resist the working of the Spirit, which is wrong, too. When you do wrong, tell the Lord, and ask Him to forgive. It is only then that confession is good for the soul…because the Lord makes it so. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. Viewpoints expressed in the article are the work of the author. like Eve, going to find the promises of knowledge to be hollow. God is certainly not interested in men being ignorant. He made us to be learning creatures, and advocates that men grow in knowledge and in wisdom. He teaches, “an intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge,” and “there is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel (Proverbs 18:15, 20:15; ESV).” Further, the Bible instructs us that God is the ultimate source of all knowledge. “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding (Proverbs 2:6; ESV).” It is impossible for men to learn that which God did not already know and all that we learn is because God made it possible for us to learn it. The Bible declares, “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7).” True knowledge and wisdom must include a proper perspective of God in relation to man. God is supreme, and though we are made in His image, we are not nor ever will be God. When we are tempted to think that we can follow our own path to knowledge, apart from God, in order to be like God, we are deceiving ourselves. Paradoxically, God promises that if we will turn to Him for knowledge, following His path, we will grow to be more like Him as His children. “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. (2 Peter 1:34; ESV)” Knowledge is a powerful thing. Knowledge, apart from God, is often a hollow venture, making promises it cannot deliver, tempting us with a path which ultimately leads to destruction. When it accompanies a proper understanding of who God is, knowledge leads us ever closer to God, creating faith in God and teaching us how to imitate God, so that we fulfill our potential as God’s children made in the image of God.

It is probably the best known and most beloved of the Psalms. It was written by King David. When he was a boy, he was a shepherd watching his father’s flocks in the hills around Bethlehem, so it was natural for him to write this poem comparing Jesus to a shepherd and us to the sheep in the shepherd’s care. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. (The Lord will watch over me just like a shepherd watches over his sheep, and He will make sure I have all that I need. He will always take care of me.) He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul.

These words are certainly a wonderful way to think about God’s love and care for each of us! It is full of hope and promises made to us by our Lord. Let’s thank Him for His care of us! Dear God, thank you so much for loving us, protecting us, providing for us, and watching over us. Please help us to remember this as we go about our daily activities. You tell us not to worry about anything, but to trust You. May we always remember to do just that. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Characteristics of kingdom living In our Americanized way of thinking, we usually answer that question with things like a nice home, a stable relationship, and a steady job with a good salary. Of course, none of those things are wrong in and of themselves. But we must never forget how, as followers of Christ, our definition of success must be shaped by God’s kingdom rather than this world. After all, the things of this world are coming to an end. Last week, I wrote about 1 John 2:15-17. Allow me to share verse 17 again. It reads, “And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever” (ESV). In Hebrews 12, the author presents the kingdom of God as an unshakable kingdom. Verses 28 and 29 read, “Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire” (ESV). As Christians, there is more to our lives than what meets the eye. There is more to our lives than accumulating riches, indulging in pleasure, and building a reputation. This week, we’re going to look at characteristics of kingdom living. The author of Hebrews to church to be a continues his mesChristian.” But sage on an unshakwhen we emphaable kingdom size such a statewhen he writes, ment, it usually “Let brotherly shows our lack of love continue.

He calls the not fear; what can man do to me?’” (Heb. 13:1-6 believers to remember those in prison and those ESV). The first characteristic who are mistreated. Now, the context of this of kingdom living we see in Hebrews 13:1-6 is verse implies that those in prison are fellow brotherly love. believers in Christ. In what ways are you Do you ever consider loving your brothers and those in prison who sisters in Christ? In our have given their lives to individualized culture, Christ? Do you ever pray we struggle to understand gospel community. for them? As Christians, we need to empathize Kingdom living means with one another, seekcaring for, praying for, ing to show one another and spending time with the comfort Christ offers our family—that is, our (see 2 Cor. 1:3-4). There brothers and sisters in are Christians in other Christ. Too often, we cling to statements like, countries who are currently in prison because “You don’t have to go of their faith. Next, the author of Hebrews says a characteristic of kingdom living is honoring marriage and protecting the marriage bed. Of course, these are not popular ideas in the world today. But if we are to live as God calls us to live, we must view marriage and sex through the lens of Scripture rather than culture. Lastly, in verses 5 and 6, the author of Hebrews instructs us to stay away from the love of money and to learn how to be content with what we have. Rather than thinking we always need more, we should trust in God’s faithful provision. Rather than finding our security in the size of our paycheck, we should rest in God’s promise to care for us. As the author of Hebrews writes, God promises to never leave us or forsake us (see Josh. 1:5). Our help and security come from Him (see Ps. 118:6). So, let us consider how we might show these characteristics of kingdom living by the Spirit’s power. Rather than focusing so much on the things of this world, we can live in light of an unshakeable kingdom. Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

World affairs reordered abruptly on that morning of blue skies, black ash, fire and death. In Iran, chants of “death to America” quickly gave way to candlelight vigils to mourn the American dead. Vladimir Putin weighed in with substantive help as the U.S. prepared to go to war in Russia’s region of influence. Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi, a murderous dictator with a poetic streak, spoke of the “human duty” to be with Americans after “these horrifying and awesome events, which are bound to awaken human conscience.” From the first terrible moments, America’s longstanding allies were joined by longtime enemies in that singularly galvanizing instant. No nation with global standing was cheering the stateless terrorists vowing to conquer capitalism and democracy. How rare is that? Too rare to last, it turned out. ___ Civilizations have their allegories for rebirth in times of devastation. A global favorite is that of the phoenix, a magical and magnificent bird, rising from ashes. In the hellscape of Germany at the end of World War II, it was the concept of Hour Zero, or Stunde Null, that offered the opportunity to start anew. For the U.S., the zero hour of Sept. 11, 2001, meant a chance to reshape its place in the post-Cold War world from a high perch of influence and goodwill as it entered the new millennium. This was only a decade after the collapse of the Soviet Union left America with both the moral authority and the financial and military muscle to be unquestionably the lone superpower. Those advantages were soon squandered. Instead of a new order, 9/11 fueled 20 years of war abroad. In the U.S., it gave rise to the angry, aggrieved, self-proclaimed patriot, and heightened surveillance and suspicion in the name of common defense. It opened an era of deference to the armed forces as lawmakers pulled back on oversight and let presidents give primacy to the military over law Responders call of duty on that day and since then. Let us never forget September 11, 2001.

The Labor Department reported Friday that its producer price index — which measures inflationary pressures before they reach consumers — rose 0.7% last month from July after increasing 1% in both June and July. Inflation has been stirring as the economy recovers from last year’s brief but intense coronavirus recession. Supply chain bottlenecks and a shortage of workers have pushed prices higher. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has called the price spikes temporary and has warned of the dangers of the central bank raising its benchmark interest rate (now near zero) prematurely, potentially stalling the economy’s comeback.
