According to the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR), there are eight additional positive cases among residents at Lakin Hospital and two more positive staff members reported on Thursday — totaling 15 positive resident cases and eight positive staff cases during the outbreak. In Ohio, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) provided an update on Wednesday evening on cases at long-term care facilities in the state. Two facilities in Gallia County and one in Meigs County reported additional cases in the past week. In Gallia County, the ODH reported six new resident and one new staff case at Abbyshire Place in the recent reporting week. This brings the total number of cases to 33 residents and 19 staff since the reporting began in midApril. The ODH reported one new resident case at Rescare in Gallia County, the ﬁrst case reported at the facility. In Meigs County, at Overbrook, there were 19 new resident and ﬁve new staff cases reported from Wednesday through Tuesday (the 7-day reporting period). This brings the total cases at Overbrook since mid-April to 39 residents and 24 staff. Additionally, ODH reported that there have been three deaths at long-term care facilities in Gallia County and four deaths at longterm care facilities in Meigs County, since April 15. ODH does not list deaths by facility, only by county. County alert levels Mason County has moved to “orange” according to DHHR as it relates to its “County Alert System” map. Counties deﬁned as “orange” are reporting 10-24.9 cases per 100,000 people. As it relates to schools, the color-coded status for each week is set on Saturday evening and remains in place for the next week. Since the county was at yellow this past reporting Saturday, school athletic events can take place this week. However, West Virginia counties at the “orange” level as of the weekly reporting on Saturday evening will have school athletic programs which are only allowed to practice and cannot participate in games. Also, to clarify previous reporting, a county reportedly cannot begin in-person instruction at “orange” but it can maintain its in-person classes if a county moves to “orange” after already beginning the school year. Counties with orange and red levels are required to begin the school year with remote learning and cannot transition to in-person or blended learning models until yellow or green are achieved on the West Virginia Department of Education Saturday Re-entry Metrics map update. Both Gallia and Meigs Counties remained at an “orange” alert level. Orange level-2 advisory level on the State of Ohio Public Health Risk Advisory System is deﬁned as “increased exposure and spread; exercise high degree of caution.” The levels in Ohio are updated each Thursday.

JoAnne Newsome and Kathryn Johnson from the Ladies Auxiliary and Harley Johnson from American Legion Post 39 spoke with the commissioners on Thursday about the upcoming Poppy Days explaining the history of the poppy and its meaning to veterans. According to The American Legion Family website, legion.org, the story of the poppy is as follows: After World War I, the poppy ﬂourished in Europe. Scientists attributed the growth to soils in France and Belgium becoming enriched with lime from the rubble left by the war. From the dirt and mud grew a beautiful red poppy. The red poppy came to symbolize the blood shed during battle following the publication of the wartime poem “In Flanders Fields.” The poem was written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, M.D. while serving on the front lines. On September 27, 1920, the poppy became the ofﬁcial ﬂower of The American Legion family to memorialize the soldiers who fought and died during the war. In 1924, the distribution of poppies became a national program of The American Legion. Led by the American Legion Auxiliary, each year members of The American Legion Family distribute poppies with See POPPY | 12 Governor discusses school reporting order Staff Report COLUMBUS — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt.

A look at God’s labor When Jesus was about to begin His ministry, the devil showed up to tempt Him in person, face to face (cf. Matthew 4:1-11). Normally the devil is more subtle about these sorts of things. Twice in the Scriptures, the devil is given the title of, “the Tempter.” The ﬁrst is in Matthew 4:3, during the testing of Jesus. The second is in 1 Thessalonians 3:5, where Paul Jonathan writes to the Thessalonians McAnulty saying, “For this reason, when Contributing I could bear it no longer, I sent Columnist to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain (ESV).” Though it was the same Tempter, his methods in tempting the Thessalonians did not involve face-to-face meetings, but rather a hostile Jewish community and the very real threat of persecution (cf. Acts 17:5-9). We should realize therefore that the devil has various schemes and devices by which he tempts men. Sometimes he speaks to us through the voice of friends enticing us into unruly behavior, sometimes through the voice of our enemies urging us to give in to anger and wrath. He might tempt us through the voice of advertisements on the television urging us to covet, or perhaps he will use the voice of a news reporter counseling us to be fearful. Most subtle of all is when he tempts us through our own desires, speaking to us in our own voice. The Scriptures teach us that this is a very real possibility, telling us: “each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire (James 1:14; ESV).” Further, we should realize that when temptation comes, it comes in the voice of reason, giving us arguments for why we should give in to the temptation. Each time the devil tempted Jesus, he gave a rational for the temptation, even going so far as to quote Scripture. Jesus was hungry, what could be more natural than making bread and eating? God promised protection, why not see if God was telling the truth? Jesus came to save the whole world, why not just let the devil give it to Him rather than going through the trouble of dying for it? In each case there was a logic and an argument behind why Jesus should give in to the temptation. In Psalm 11, David confronts those who were tempting him to trust in himself rather than in God. They urged David to run away and hide because there were real enemies out to kill him, and they wanted David to understand his importance (cf. Psalm 11:1-3). Their arguments had a kind of logic to them, making sense to the mind focused on the things of the world, but David was able to recognize the voice for what it was: the voice of the Tempter, leading him away from God. When the devil tempts us, are we going to be able to recognize his voice, and thus resist the temptation? Jesus was able to identify the devil’s temptations for the sins that they were because He had learned to listen to the voice of God. He had devoted Himself to the study of God’s word, and when the devil spoke, Jesus could hear the lies within the arguments, and knew the danger of giving in. And thus, each time the devil tempted, Jesus replied with the words of God, saying, “It is written (cf. Matthew 4:4, 7, 10).” God still speaks to us today. He speaks to us through His inspired word. Daniel identiﬁed the Scriptures as the voice of God, lamenting the sins of his countrymen, saying that they had, “not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets (Daniel 9:10; ESV).” We can likewise hear the voice of God in the Gospel of Christ. Again the Scriptures say, “Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son (Hebrews 1:1-2a; ESV).” Concerning all of this, we are wisely advised: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts (Hebrews 3:7-8, etc.).” In other words, learn to listen to the voice of God. How we go in life is going to depend on whose voice are we listening to. Are we listening to the voice of the Tempter? Or are we listening to the voice of God? If we learn to listen to God, learning His word, as Christ did, we will better identify the voice of the Tempter when it comes, and we will be able to say, with Christ, “It is written.” If we don’t listen to the voice of God, when the voice of the Tempter enters our ear, its arguments and coaxings will seem reasonable and rational and we will readily give in to them, to our own hurt. Let us learn to listen to the voice of God. The church of Christ invites you to worship with us and to study God’s word with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

Do those things to the best of your abilities, so to honor God and preHe worked hard for six days and pare yourselves for adulthood. Colossians 3:23-24 from the Living Bible says, “Work hard and cheerfully at all you do, just as though you were working for the Lord and not merely for your boss, remembering that it is the Lord Christ who is going to pay you, giving you your full portion of all He owns. He is the one you are really working for.” Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Lord, thank you for all the work that You have done to make this earth and us good. Let us continue Your good works to make it a place where we all can live in safety and peace, so everyone has enough food, water, houses, and medicine. Bless us as we work every day to make this happen and bless all those who are affected by Covid 19. Help us to ﬁnd a cure for Covid, so we can all get back to our work as usual. In Your holy name we pray, Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church.

And in this second part of our study through Philemon, we examine the call to forgiveness. The apostle Paul writes to Philemon, “Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required, yet for love’s sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus—I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I became in my imprisonment. (Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me.) I am sending him back to you, sending my very heart. I would have been glad to keep him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf during my imprisonment for the gospel, but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own accord. For this perhaps is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a bondservant but more than a bondservant, as a beloved brother— especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the ﬂesh and in the Lord. So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me” (v. 8-17 ESV). now works heartThere are two ily unto the Lord things I want us to and not unto men see in this passage of (see Col. 3:23). Or, Scripture. perhaps he is one First, forgiveness who now makes must come from a the best use of his willing heart. time (see Eph. Paul recognizes Isaiah 5:15-17). the authority he has Pauley Onesimus is to require PhileContributing now useful for the mon’s acceptance of columnist spreading of the Onesimus. However, gospel, and Paul instead of commanding Philemon to forgive, he is sure to mention that to appeals to Philemon to for- Philemon as he prepares to send him back.

Indeed, it is difﬁcult for indeed experienced the grace of God. So now, with Paul to return his brother a changed heart, Paul asks in the Lord to his master. But even so, Paul’s plea to him to willingly receive Philemon is that his accepOnesimus back. tance of Onesimus come Paul loves Onesimus from a willing heart rather to the point of referring than compulsion.

(ESV). You see, “Onesimus” The same is true for us. means “useful.” As PhileWe must forgive from a mon’s slave, one can only willing heart. imagine the usefulness Second, forgiveness expected from such a man. spreads the gospel. But now that Onesimus Paul is sure to mention has experienced the grace that Onesimus is now a of God, his usefulness is child of God. As he writes all the more realized. He is now a believer. It might to Philemon, he asks him to receive Onesimus “no be that Paul recognizes longer as a bondservant a renewed work ethic in but more than a bondserOnesimus as one who vant, as a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the ﬂesh and in the Lord. So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me” (v. 16-17 ESV). In his commentary on Philemon, F.F. Bruce writes, “Even the most forgiving of Christian masters would normally ﬁnd it difﬁcult to exclude a note of disapproval on ﬁnding the prodigal servant back at his door: no, says Paul, give him the same warm welcome as you would give me if you found me unexpectedly at your door.” You see, now that Onesimus is a believer, he is a partner in the gospel alongside Paul and Philemon. Forgiveness among Christian brothers and sisters spreads the gospel, for it strengthens the fellowship. Unforgiveness in the local church becomes a disastrous thing. Here we see Paul asking Philemon to forgive a fellow brother in Christ. In Romans, Paul encourages those in Christ to receive one another as Christ has received them (see. Rom. 15:7). Because of Christ’s work in our hearts, we can obey His call to forgive others. Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. Find more at www. isaiahpauley.com.

By “call of God”, I mean, of course, both the authoritative claim that your Maker (and Redeemer through Christ) has on you, but also the particular invitation from Him to know Him and consequently walk with Him in His purpose for you. This call of God does not follow the conventional wisdom of the world. And it is not based upon the generally accepted and practiced values of our society. It is not gained by any merit within ourselves or by any deed that we can do. It is simply given to those whose hearts are weary of following every other path but God, and to bring to nothrealize at last that the ing things that are, only path to follow, so that no human indeed, the only path being might boast that leads to true in the presence of life and love, is the God. And because path that God has of Him you are appointed to us by in Christ Jesus, calling us to believe Thom in the Son He sent to Mollohan Who became to us die for us, and follow- Contributing wisdom from God, righteousness and ing Him ever after as columnist sanctiﬁcation and true disciples. redemption, so “Consider your calling, brothers: not many that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast of you were wise accordin the Lord” (1 Corinthiing to worldly standards, ans 1:26-31 ESV). not many were powerful, Jesus, the wisdom, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what power and love of God in bodily form, is the dooris foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose way through which we enter the calling. Not only what is weak in the world that, He is the pathway on to shame the strong; God which we journey and the chose what is low and vine in which we abide. He despised in the world, puts an end to the illusions even things that are not, of calling and purpose we may have supposed for ourselves to bring us to the highest calling of all which is walking with Him and accomplishes His purpose that through us, others also may come to Him and enter into that same purpose. His calling for you is the most fundamental part of who you are if you are truly His child. It overrides any preconceived notion of who and what you are. It cancels out the lies you may believe that have been fed to you by the world, your failures and fears. It negates any claim that any other has on you contrary to God’s claim on you. In other words, you are called See GOD | 11 �Ohio Valley Publishing Friday, September 4, 2020 5 Meigs County Church Directory Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

Lady Marauders fall to NYHS in opener By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — At this point, just playing might have felt like a win. The Meigs volleyball team ﬁnally got to start its 2020 season on Tuesday inside Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, with TriValley Conference Ohio Division guest Nelsonville-York winning in straight games. Meigs (0-1, 0-1 TVC Ohio) scored the ﬁrst four points of the night, but gave up the next ﬁve. MHS regained the edge at 7-6, and led by as many as three points, at 15-12. The Lady Buckeyes scored the next ﬁve points and led the rest of the way to the 25-19 victory. The guests led wire-to-wire in each of the next two games, winning by counts of 25-11 and 25-15. Jerrica Smith led the MHS service with four points and an ace. Andrea Mahr was next with three points and two aces, followed by Mallory Hawley and Kylee Mitch with two points apiece, including a pair of aces by Hawley. Mallory Adams and Hannah Durst rounded out the hosts’ service with a point apiece. Durst led Meigs at the net with 11 kills. Hawley and Baylee Tracy had two kills apiece, while Meredith Cremeans added one. Mahr posted a team-high six assists, while Durst and Adams tied for a team-best with seven digs each. The Lady Marauders will have another shot at NYHS when these teams meet in Athens County on Sept. 24.

I think the detail to what he wants and how he wants it to be done is something I’m continuing to focus on and try to learn from.” The Cowboys have a new coach, Mike McCarthy, but offensive coordinator Kellen Moore was retained. McCarthy is sticking with much of what Prescott did best and giving Moore playcalling duties. “The individual that’s had to learn the most has been me,” McCarthy said earlier this month. Rivers joined a new team after 16 seasons with the Chargers, but he has plenty of familiarity in Indianapolis. Colts coach Frank Reich and offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni previously worked with Rivers in San Diego. “The techniques and the way we run routes is the same as I’ve been used to since 2013,” Rivers said. “That’s been very helpful that I know how the route is being taught here, so we’re not speaking any different language.” Foles, battling with Mitchell Trubisky for the starting job in Chicago, played under Bears coach Matt Nagy in Philadelphia in 2012 and in Kansas City in 2016. He also worked with new Bears offensive coordinator Bill Lazor in Philadelphia in 2013, and with Bears quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo in Philadelphia in 2017 and last year in Jacksonville. “The beautiful thing is there’s a lot of similarities in the offense from my Philly offense,” Foles said. “So I feel right back at home, whether it’s the run game, the pass game, there are similarities. It’s been a year since I was in that offense, but it’s nice to have that verbiage and have that feel and understand why we’re doing it.” Haskins is learning his third offense in three season, going back to his ﬁnal year at Ohio State. Washington coach Ron Rivera brought former Panthers quarterbacks coach Scott Turner with him to serve as offensive coordinator. “The concepts are the same (as the 2019 playbook), the reads are the same, just told differently,” Haskins said of the offense. Carolina is the only team with both a new coach, Matt Rhule, and new starting quarterback, Bridgewater. “I think we are completely up to speed in terms of what we know and what we are good at,” Rhule said. “Our time on task on things is way less than having it done it for the last four or ﬁve months. I think we will have to be smart about what we do and making sure we do things the right way.” Bengals sign running back Joe Mixon to 4-year extension CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals felt a backlash when they drafted running back Joe Mixon in the second round, acknowledging they were taking a risk. Three years later, they’ve made a long-term commitment. consecutive 4-3-1 records from 1923-27. Junior quarterback Brock Purdy is going into his third season as the starting quarterback, having taken over the job as a true freshman early in the 2018 season. Purdy last year set school records with 3,982 yards and 27 TDs passing, leading the Big 12 with 306.3 yards per game. The Cyclones, now more than a century without any conference title, averaged a school-record 444 total yards per game. Schedule revision The 10-team Big 12, the only Power Five Mixon signed a four-year, $48 million contract extension through the 2024 season on Wednesday, a vote of conﬁdence for a player who has rehabilitated his image and evolved into one of the league’s top running backs. conference that plays a round-robin schedule, is sticking with that format, though the schedule was shufﬂed with some ﬂexibility added for rescheduling any games affected by the pandemic. Every team plays one non-conference game, at home on Sept. 12. Conference play begins Sept. 26, the start of an 11-week stretch for nine league games before the Big 12 title game Dec. 12 or Dec. 19, if an extra week is needed. No day at the fair Texas and Oklahoma still plan to play their Red River rivalry game in Dallas at Cotton Bowl “Upstairs they deﬁnitely value me in a way a lot of people probably won’t,” Mixon said, referring to the front ofﬁce. “I just wanted to show my love to here and ﬁnish my career here.” The Bengals drafted Mixon in the second round in 2017 Stadium which sits on the edge of the midway at the State Fair of Texas. The atmosphere around the game will certainly be different this year since the fair has already been canceled because of the pandemic. The plan is to allow fans for the Oct. 10 game, but with the stadium at only about 25% of its capacity. Only newbie A year after the biggest coaching turnover in Big 12 history, with four teams having new coaches, Baylor’s Dave Aranda is the only newcomer this season. out of Oklahoma, where he was suspended for punching a woman in the face. The Bengals drew a backlash with the choice, prompting owner Mike Brown to acknowledge they were “taking a risk” on Mixon because he’s so talented.
