He titled his father’s eulogy, “because I said I would,” and distributed for the first time, at his father’s funeral, what he called “Promise Cards.” Those promise cards have now made their way around the world, as his organization sends them to anyone, anywhere at no cost. Since its creation, “because I said I would” has sent more than 10 million promise cards to more than 153 countries. “In a society where accountability continues to slip away from meaning, sometimes we need a reminder that our promises still matter and always will,” Sheen said. “That is what the Promise Card was made to do. Write your promise on the card and give it to the person you’re making that promise to. Honor your commitment and earn the card back. A single promise can change a life forever and the promise to graduate is certainly evidence of that. But perhaps the bigger moment is what these Bobcats will promise next.” The promises written on these cards have made headlines around the world, as have Sheen’s charitable projects and awareness campaigns, garnering coverage from ABC World News with Diane Sawyer, CNN, The Today Show, NPR, The Los Angeles Times and many other news organizations. “We are honored and thrilled to have such an outstanding person return to his alma mater to share his passion and wisdom with our community,” said Ohio University President M.

My sister was found naked and beaten nearly to death. She was taken to the hospital and had to be on a ventilator and we did not know whether she would live or die.” Riggs went on to say that in her opinion Buttrick was a narcissist and a sociopath who was reportedly selling Miranda’s purses on social media shortly after her entry into the hospital. “She left the hospital Saturday, October 13, with her attacker,” Riggs continued. “Monday, October 15, (she was discovered missing) and the last person she was seen with alive was the person who nearly beat her to death, Josh Buttrick. I understand we are not here for what happened to her when she was missing. We’re here for the assault that occurred. I saw my sister laying in the ER on a ventilator and her only son seeing his mother in the ER on a ventilator fighting for her life. We saw the bruises where he kicked and hit her. We saw the boot print of when he stomped on her while she was on the ground…” Riggs said she felt Buttrick was a manipulative person. She said if it were up to her, he would never see the light of day, but agreed to the six-year sentence plea arrangement requested by the prosecution and felt most strongly for Miranda’s three children. Miranda’s mother, Mona Thompson, made a brief statement saying she had heard the fighting and saw bruising. She said when Buttrick was not “at the house,” he was calling Miranda constantly wanting to know what she was doing and who was around. “He wanted to control everybody in the house,” said Mona. She said she begins on March 25 on State Route 248 in Meigs County. The project is taking place between Bashan Road and Locust Grove Road.

She would lock herself in her room so no one could see her. Yes, Miranda had her issues with drug addiction but she had been sober for several years.

She reportedly had an L-3 spinal fracture, multiple bruises throughout her body, eyes swollen shut, pieces of her scalp missing, while also being on a ventilator. She was reportedly discovered by Gallipolis police with a weak pulse and laying on her doorstep. The officer reportedly began CPR on her until paramedics arrived. She was then taken to Holzer Medical Center before ending up at Saint Mary’s Medical Center. Buttrick was represented by defense counsel Andrew Noe and Barbara Wallen. Counsel said that Buttrick was aware of his actions and that he did feel remorseful for them. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding Miranda’s death is still ongoing.

Daily Sentinel Fighting with forgiveness not easy I recently had a conversation with a friend about forgiveness. Needless to say, it was a tough conversation. Forgiveness is hard. It’s usually the last thing we want to do after being wronged. But God commands us to forgive others. The Bible is full of references to forgiveness. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Eph. 4:32 ESV). “Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others” (Col. 3:13 NLT). There’s something these two verses have in common. Yes, they’re both about forgiveness. But look a little closer. Both of these verses tell us to forgive others while also reminding us of how we’ve been forgiven. Jesus says, “‘But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins’” (Matt. 6:15 NLT). Those are some serious words. I don’t know about you, but I need God’s forgiveness. The Bible says my “… righteous deeds are like a polluted garment” (Isa. 64:6 ESV). Let alone my unrighteous “deeds.” In But wait. other words, conThere’s more. sidering I’m des“‘But when that perate for God’s same servant went forgiveness, I must out, he found one forgive people. of his fellow serBut when I ponvants who owed der the incredible him a hundred amount of forgiveCross ness given to me Words denarii [a few thousand dollars], by Jesus, I find it Isaiah and seizing him, easier to forgive Pauley he began to choke others. him, saying, “Pay In Matthew 18, what you owe”’” (v. 28 Jesus shares a parable ESV). about an unforgiving The forgiven servant servant.

That’s the Gospel! Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart’” (v. 35 ESV). Genuine forgiveness comes from the heart. It’s not empty words. It’s not an angry, “I’m sorry!” All parents know what that sounds like. Instead, it’s real forgiveness from the bottom of our hearts. And that’s not easy. I’m learning that the opposite of grace is bitterness. One of my favorite Bible verses says, “See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no ‘root of bitterness’ springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled” (Heb. 12:15 ESV). You see, when you miss the grace of God, you develop a bitter spirit. And that bitter spirit, that unforgiving spirit, is contagious. According to Hebrews, unforgiveness multiples. Therefore, it’s important for you to embrace God’s grace. Cherish the fact that He is willing to forgive you of your sins through the blood of Jesus Christ. When you experience God’s grace for yourself, it’s much easier to give grace to others. Isaiah Pauley is passionate about sharing Jesus in a simple way.

Rubber meets the road on this point Galatia was a Roman province established in Asia Minor. Either on his second or third missionary trip, Apostle Paul ministered throughout Galatia, and established several churches. Paul left the churches with the confident perspective that each was grounded securely in the correct doctrines of Jesus Christ. However, it did not shake down to be so. False teachers eventually got into the churches, and effectively led many to embrace legalistic beliefs that essentially denied the freedom in Jesus Christ taught by Paul. Therefore, upon receiving word as to what was happening, Paul dispatched a letter that was circulated among the churches. This letter is in the Bible, which comprises the Book of Galatians. In the letter, Paul makes one matter perfectly clear. It did not matter what the false teachers tried to teach. It did not matter what legalistic doctrine they tried to get the people to embrace. The spiritual rubber met the road only at one point: “…in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, has the purpose of nor uncircumciGodly leadership sion, but a new and influence concreature.” cerning the prinPaul’s point ciples and expectawas that, as far tions of God.

The “new creature” to which is full of considerations he refers is that spiritual concerning outlooks and options. entity God creates in us But, for one’s spiritual when we enter relationship and fellowship with life in Jesus Christ, nothing is more important Him through the salvathan the role and inflution experience. The ence that involves the “new creature” is that spiritual presence within “new creature.” It means that all else pales in comthe saved person that parison to it. This is how God reckons it, and the expectation is that we do the same. It is apparent concerning the present state of spiritual affairs that the people of the Church have little sight, little touch, and little focus on this important matter for our lives. While our lives should be revolving around the things of God, we have God revolving around our things. God is reduced to relevancy, not primacy. Fellowship with God and obedience to God comes only as it is convenient. Consider the question: what can you do that will effectively place a greater personal emphasis on your spiritual life? Is the “new creature” in you thriving? After all, Jesus Christ placed a great personal emphasis on it. His willingness to die on the Cross proves how important it was to Him. We should be willing to reciprocate that concern. “If any man be found in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away, and, behold, all things are become new.” Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. Jesus takes care of his mom; do you take care of yours? We celebrate Jesus’ birthday on Christmas, of course, but after that we don’t really think much about Him being a baby like us in our younger years. Jesus had a mother just like us too. You probably know her name was Mary and the story of how the angel came to her and told her she was going a baby through the Holy Spirit. Mary probably suffered humiliation from others at times because she wasn’t married then. Jesus’ father was God, and His earthly stepfather was Joseph. God told Joseph to go ahead parents. and marry Mary In John 19:25and take care of 27, we read that Baby when Jesus was Jesus which he on the cross, did. We aren’t His mother really sure what Mary, her sister, happened to Joseph later in God’s Kids another Mary, Jesus’ life, but Korner and Mary Magmost theologians Pastor Ann dalene were also there. Can you think that Joseph Moody imagine having died at some to watch your point. God made child being crucified like sure His Son would his mother did? have good parents and But right before Jesus be taken care of until died, He made sure He was an adult. The His mother would be Bible tells us that after Jesus scared His parents taken care of after His by staying in the Temple death too, so He asked His friend and disciple, after Passover, and John, to take care of her. they had to find Him, John did just that and He always obeyed His took her into his home and treated her just like his own mother. Jesus was dying for our sakes, but He also wanted to make sure His mother would be OK afterwards. He was dying to save all people so also His own mother too if we think about it. Think about how do you treat you mother (and father too for that matter)? Your parents love and always try to take care of you and do what is best for you. Do you try to take care of them and make them proud of you? Are you kind and helpful by using nice words with them, helping with chores, and doing what you know you should? I hope so because you know if God made sure Jesus was going to be taken care of with loving parents, and then right before Jesus ‘own death, He made sure His mother was going to be cared for, then we should want to be that way with our parents too. Mothers and Fathers work very hard for our benefit, so try to work hard for their benefit also. Jesus had a mother that He loved very much, and I’m sure you have par- ents that you love very much. Do your part to make a happy home by caring for them with good behavior and kind acts. Let pray together. Father God, thank You for giving us the example of how You and Jesus both made sure people they loved would be cared for and loved. Help us to do the same with the people we care about especially our own parents. In Your name we pray, Amen.

Southern (0-2, 0-2 TVC Hocking) had its only base runner of the night after a base on balls with two outs in the top of the first. Wahama (6-1, 2-0) broke the scoreless tie before the first out was made in the bottom of the first, and the Lady Falcons were ahead 5-0 by the end of the frame. The Red and White took advantage of three SHS errors in the second inning and increased their lead to 9-0 headed into the third. On the fourth at-bat in the home half of the third, the hosts got the run they needed to cap off the 10-0 mercy rule victory. Billups was the winning pitcher of record for Wahama, striking out two batters and walking one. Abby Cummins suffered the setback in a complete game for the guests, allowing 10 runs, four earned, and nine hits, without a strikeout or walk.

The Point Pleasant softball team built a 4-2 lead after the first inning and led wire-to-wire on Wednesday night while claiming an 8-5 victory over host Nitro in a nonconference matchup in Kanawha County. The visiting Lady Knights (3-1) held three different four-run advantages over the course of the game, all of which came through the first four innings of play. Point led 6-2 midway through the third and were up 8-4 by the middle of the fourth, but the previously unbeaten Lady Wildcats (6-1) countered with a final score in the home half of the fourth to close to within three runs. Neither team mustered another run over the final three frames, allowing PPHS to secure not only its first road triumph of the year — but also its first winning streak this spring. Peyton Jordan led things off with a single, then advanced to third on a pair of stolen bases while Hayley Keefer reached safely following a dropped third strike. With runners on the corners and one away, Emma Harbour delivered a single that plated Jordan while advancing Keefer to third for a quick 1-0 advantage. Rylee Cochran followed with a single that allowed Keefer to score for a 2-0 edge, and Harbour moved up to second in the process. Madilyn Keefer followed with a walk that loaded the bases, then Harbour came home for a three-run cushion following a walk to Julia Parsons. Amber Hatfield then reached safely on an infield error that allowed Cochran to score for a 4-0 lead. NHS countered in its half of the first with a two-out, two-run homer to centerfield by Bella Savilla, cutting the deficit in half at 4-2 through one complete. After a scoreless second, Cochran started the third with a double and Madilyn Keefer walked to put runners at first and second. Point’s next two batters struck out, but nine-hole hitter Haley Bryant reached safely on an error as Cochran came home for a 5-2 edge. Jordan singled in the next at-bat while knocking in Madilyn Keefer, allowing the guests to secure a 6-2 cushion after two-and-a-half innings of play. Morgan Burdette singled and stole two bases, then came around to score on a one-out single by Lena Elkins. Elkins later scored on a two-out double by Sydni Cawley while again cutting the lead down to two at 6-4. The Lady Knights added their final runs of the evening in the fourth as Parsons provided a two-out double to rightcenter that allowed both Harbour and Madilyn Keefer to come plateward — making it an 8-4 contest. Elkins delivered a twoout single in the bottom of the fourth that allowed Carli Miller to score, ultimately wrapping up the 8-5 outcome. Point left a runner stranded at third in the fifth and another at first in the sixth before going down in order in the top of the seventh. Nitro, conversely, left a runner at first base in both the fifth and seventh frames. PPHS outhit the hosts by a slim 9-8 overall margin, with Nitro also committing all two errors in the contest. The Lady Wildcats stranded nine runners on base, while the guests left eight on the bags. Madilyn Keefer was the winning pitcher of record after allowing four earned runs, six hits and a walk over three innings. Kit Stroud also allowed one earned run, two hits and a two walks over four innings of relief while fanning two. Savilla took the loss after surrendering eight runs (six earned), nine hits and five walks over seven frames while striking out 11. Harbour led the Lady Knights with three hits, followed by Jordan and Cochran with two safeties apiece. Parsons and Bryant also added a hit each to the winning cause. Parsons posted a teambest three RBIs, while Harbour, Cochran and Madilyn Keefer each scored twice for Point Pleasant. Elkins and Cawley paced Nitro with three hits apiece, with Savilla and Hailey Harr also adding a hit each. Elkins and Savilla also drove in two RBIs apiece. Point Pleasant hosted River Valley on Thursday night and returns to action Saturday when it welcomes both Eastern and Symmes Valley for a round-robin matchup starting at 3 p.m. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.

Visiting Athens built a 2-0 lead midway through the third inning, then tacked on three insurance runs late and ultimately cruised to a 5-0 victory over the Gallia Academy softball team Wednesday night in a non-conference matchup at the Eastman Athletic Complex in Gallia County. The host Blue Angels (0-3) produced five hits and benefited from two AHS errors, but the Blue and White were unlucky in the scoring department after stranding nine runners on base. The Lady Bulldogs, conversely, pounded out seven hits and stranded 11 runners, but the Green and Gold also made the most of some opportunities while gradually extending their lead. Scoreless through two complete, Brannan started the top of the third by getting hit by a pitch before stealing second base. GAHS followed with back-to-back strikeouts, but a pair of wild pitches allowed Brannan to slide home safely for a 1-0 edge. Casto later singled home Tenoglia for a two-run cushion midway through the third. Toppercee delivered a two-out single in the sixth that plated Kish for a 3-0 edge, then an error, two singles and a basesloaded walk allowed Athens to tack on two more Bryan Walters|OVP Sports Gallia Academy junior Chasity Adams runs down a centerfield pop-up for an out during the third inning of Wednesday night’s softball contest against Athens in Centenary, Ohio. in the seventh while completing the five-run outcome.

NASCAR did best it could in freshening schedule CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — An entire generation of NASCAR has spent its life tuned to a schedule so predictable events could be planned years in advance and race dates marked milestones. Daytona meant the beach — a week out of school in February, the Fourth of July for vacation — while Memorial Day was spent at Charlotte. Labor Day meant South Carolina sweet tea at Darlington Raceway. Seriously, nearly every weekend has been the same for as long as an entire generation remembers. But 2020 will be different, the first radically changed schedule in practically forever, as NASCAR did the best it could in answering an urgent need to freshen its product. NASCAR was not blessed with a blank sheet of paper for this Jim France-driven project because binding contracts with its existing track operators limited NASCAR’s power. NASCAR legally could only force a track to move two weeks forward or backward from its existing date; anything more drastic needed track approval. That handcuffed NASCAR’s effort in demanding the fixes fans have begged for the last several years, but the series still made a huge right turn for 2020. “A lot of that is a prod- uct of Jim France, wanting to make some bold moves, wanting to make moves quickly, trying to answer some of the questions or some of the asks of the fans. We feel like we were able to do that,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer. place for the New York City market on one June weekend.
