What a strange thing for Jesus to say about a camel and a needle, but think about it. We all know it would be impossible for the camel to get through such a small hole as is in a needle. In the same way, it may be just as impossible for some people to get to heaven because those people are not willing to share anything they have with others. They are greedy and love their money and things more than God and helping those in need.

For example, meaning of this solemn when the Apostle Paul said near the end of his life that he had “fought a good ﬁght,” it was with the perspective that, despite how many times he had preached the Gospel or how many churches he had started, his spiritual nest had never emptied. His spiritual duties had never diminished. He had remained consistent from beginning to end. At the Willow Island Baptist Church, near St. Marys, W.Va., Ethel Cokely was just about the best and sweetest church member that any church could have. But, it got to the point where she could not go like she had gone for so long. It got to the point where she could not do like she had done for so long. So, near the end of her life, she told me one day, “Pastor Ron, I will keep doing what I can for the Lord.” And, she did. That was her ruleof-thumb till the Lord called her home. When it came to Christian service, Miss Ethel was not an empty-nester. Neither should we be. Keep on keeping on. At the end of weddings I ofﬁciate, I typically say a few words to the new couple in a private manner before announcing them to the congregants as “Mr. and Mrs.” After some general remarks, I told Alexandria particularly, “Micaiah now belongs to you. Whatever you do, do not send him back!” Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. Evidently, this was the case for the young, rich man in the story. The young man’s love for his possessions and money was greater than his love for God. If we want to enter the Kingdom of God, we must put God ﬁrst in our lives. By putting God ﬁrst, we must also be willing to help others, even sharing what we have. It would be impossible, as well, for any of us to get to heaven without God’s grace. He made it possible for us all to be with Him forever because of Jesus’ death and resurrection. We just have to love and have faith in Him. Part of loving Him and following Him is also helping others as needed and not loving things more than Jesus. Remember, with God all things are possible. We are so lucky that we worship and serve the God of the impossible. Then we just might see that camel go through that eye in the needle -someday! Let us pray our prayer for this week. Heavenly Father, we are thankful that You are the God of the impossible. Without You, it would be impossible for any of us to get to heaven. Help us to always put You ﬁrst in our lives and be willing to help those who need our help. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

God is listening to the heart through times of cheer and sorrow Bible asks of God, “Give We read in the Bible, me neither poverty nor “Is anyone among you riches; feed me with the suffering? Let him pray. food that is needful for Is anyone cheerful? Let me, lest I be full and deny him sing praise.” (James you and say, “Who is the 5:13; ESV) Lord?” or lest I be poor In suffering or cheer, in times both good and bad, Search and steal and profane the name of my God.” the proper response to the your situation is always scriptures (Proverbs 30:8-9; ESV) As the writer notes, there the same: draw closer to Jonathan is a danger in having too God. McAnulty many riches, in that one This is an axiom oft forgets God. At least, mentioned in the conwhen one is suffering, we know text of suffering and sorrow. we have needs. Sometimes in Despair can drive people away prosperity, we allow ourselves from God, if they allow it, but as James reminds us, the better the illusion that we don’t actucourse of action is to draw near ally need God. Nonetheless, in each life to God in prayer. Place your sorrows and cares in His hands and there is going to be times of allow Him to be your guide and sorrow, but also times of cheer. And, in our country, one of the shield. most prosperous in the history If this is true of times of sorof mankind, we certainly have row, though, it is equally true our share of riches. Even the in times of joy. We sometimes forget the truth that good times poor amongst us have food and luxuries. The temptation to are just as capable of pulling forget our need for God is quite people away from being spiritual as bad. Both situations have strong. We must also confess, if we their temptations. Which might be why one prayer, found in the are to be honest with ourselves, that when we are cheerful, and caught up in being cheerful, we don’t always think about God. It is very easy to get caught up in “fun” activities and lose sight of our spiritual needs. It is also easy to forget the source of true joy. We are so busy being happy that we don’t take the time to properly thank the one who allows us to be happy. The Bible tells us that “every good and every perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights.” (James 1:17) Jesus, in speaking of God’s goodness reminded His followers: “For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthew 5:45; ESV) Sunshine and rain are both blessings of God, and He gives them to all of us. If we have food, shelter and clothing, the Scriptures direct us to be properly thankful to God for His blessings. Even more, if you are a Christian, and have been saved through the blood of Christ, you have every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places through and in Christ. (cf. Ephesians 1:3) Thus the command: “Rejoice in the Lord always!” (Philippians 4:4) When we have cause to be thankful, and in Christ there is always cause, it is appropriate to express this thankfulness to God. And what better way than song? Singing is most deﬁnitely the vehicle God commands as an expression of our joy and thankfulness. In fact, the command to sing is just as forceful and authoritative as the command to pray. The one is just as important as the other, and just as necessary. Prayer and song also serve similar functions. One of the purposes of prayer, when one is sad, is to remind ourselves of God’s presence. Understanding this, we can see a similar usefulness in hymns and psalms – the vehicle the Bible commands as an expression of our joy and thankfulness (cf. Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:18-20). If we are singing about God,o we are certainly going to be reminded that He is there. If we sing about His power, His goodness and His love, then these truths will be at the forefront of our thoughts. Just as it is hard to pray to God and not be thinking about God, so too it is difﬁcult to sing to and about God and not be cognizant of His presence. So, to put it simply: if you are cheerful, remind yourself that God is the source of your cheer and happiness, and do this through the avenue of song. It doesn’t matter how good or bad a singer you are. God is listening to the heart, not the voice (cf. Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:19). And God, we might suggest, loves a cheerful heart.

See MEIGS | 9 Bengals revisit a one-sided rivalry vs. Steelers CINCINNATI (AP) — Six straight losses, starting with a pregame scufﬂe and an epic playoff meltdown. Blown lead after blown lead. Losing their cool and games, too. There’s a common thread to the Bengals’ most intense rivalry, one that’s been one-sided the past three seasons. No matter what happened, the Steelers always won. The Bengals (4-1) lead the AFC North heading into the renewal of their acrimonious rivalry Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. They have a chance to create separation from the Steelers (2-2-1). A loss would extend their streak of futility, leave the division wide open, and reinforced the notion that the Bengals can’t get away from their history.

The story has different plot twists, but always the same ending. “It seems like the Bengals, every time they play them they have the game won and something See BENGALS | 9 Scott Jones | OVP Sports Eastern’s Steve Fitzgerald carries the ball during the Eagles Tri Valley Conference Hocking Division contest against Wahama on Sep. 28 in Mason, W.Va.

In addition to honoring survivors, I’d like to honor the “survived by.” These are the individuals you read about in the obituaries of women, and men, who lost their battle with breast cancer. They are the ones left behind in a club where no one wants a membership, because that membership is lifetime and comes at a price. My mother, Janie, has been gone now for 20 years. She lost her battle with breast cancer in 1998 when she was 47 years old. I used to think 47 was old…not so much anymore. In 20 years, she’s missed the birth of three grandchildren who know her only as an image in a pictureframe. These grandchildren are just a few of her “survived by.” These are my sister’s children, by the way. In my adulthood, I decided to raise cats instead. They are lower maintenance and you can leave them unattended for long periods of time, which comes in handy working in the newspaper business. My sister Ashley had turned 18 only a few weeks prior to our mother passing away. Mom wanted to hang on until Ashley’s high school graduation but missed it by “that much” as TV’s Maxwell Smart might say. This is what cancer does, it ﬁlls the may be replaced “survived by” with by other people the missed memowithout replacing ries…the “missed” the actual loved in general.

Her abilare the memories of the ity to take life in stride “survived by.” I believe, over time, that lost loved will never be undone or one’s function in our lives untangled in my memory. She made every attempt to not let cancer take away the habits that made her happy; to maintain the routines that made up life as she knew it “before.” I remember she would have her chemotherapy treatments and afterward, leave the doctor’s ofﬁce and go to a mall to be distracted, or maybe to search for something to feel better about. She never really clariﬁed that for me but I also never asked. So many things I wish I’d asked. During a recent health issue of my own, I remarked to my mother’s longtime, childhood friend, Mary Jane Getty, that I didn’t know how mom dealt with being so sick for so long. Mary Jane said she’d asked her that very question once, and her reply was “I just look past it.” In that moment, during my own struggle, it felt like my mother was there with me, telling me to look past the present moment and know a better day is possible and inevitable. After all, nothing is forever, including the bad and the pendulum always swings back. This is what all survivors teach us. They teach us to “look past it” no matter what that “it” is in life. The “survived by” eventually learn this and it’s up to them to help carry the torch “past it” and to one day, ﬁnd that cure.

Kicking off breast cancer awareness month Early detection is key By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT — To kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month, the Mason County CEOS members hosted a wreath hanging ceremony and luncheon on Friday in honor of breast cancer survivors, in support of those still ﬁghting this disease, and in remembrance of those who have lost their battle with this disease. “Breast cancer is a dangerous disease,” said Mason County CEOS President Clinedda Austin, “a woman has a one in eight chance of developing the disease in their lifetime and about one in 38 will die from the disease. Currently, the best method to reduce deaths from breast cancer is early detection…knowing can save your life.” Austin explained breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in West Virginia women.

POINT PLEASANT — “Get your mammograms … that’s how mine (cancer) was found.” Those were the words of the late Marilyn Higginbotham in 2015 as she shared her story of surviving breast cancer; a survivor’s story she proudly told for 26 years. Higginbotham shared her story then at an annual luncheon sponsored by her fellow Mason County CEOS club members. Higginbotham was the special speaker at the reception. She showed those gathered one of her most valued possessions — a crossstitch hanging made by her daughter-inlaw, with each family member having placed a stitch somewhere upon it. The hanging talks about taking life for granted prior to cancer and how life is precious. Most importantly, the hanging ends with the words “I am a survivor.” “We all take life for granted,” Higginbotham said. “Life is precious.” Higginbotham also thanked God for her recovery. “I praise the Lord for it. People prayed for me and I cannot thank the Lord enough,” Higginbotham said. Higginbotham was also a faithful participant in the annual Walk for Women, organized by the Mason County CEOS Clubs.

Missy Thomas, who is a loan ofﬁcer at Ohio Valley Bank and from Leon, was invited to speak during the recently held wreath hanging ceremony and luncheon hosted by the Mason County CEOS members in honor of breast cancer survivors, in support of those still ﬁghting this disease, and in remembrance of those who have lost their battle with this disease. “Early detection is a must, a need for our survival,” said Thomas, “I consider myself a very blessed woman.” Thomas shared she was diagnosed in stage one of her breast cancer in January. She explained how she discovered a lump in her breast by performing a self-examination. After her detection of the lump close to her chest wall, she set up an appointment with her OBGYN to ﬁnd out if it was cancerous. Thomas was diagnosed at 39 years old with triple negative breast cancer. The recommended age for women to begin mammogram screenings is age 40. “Not only did this diagnosis affect me, but it affected my family. My husband has been my greatest supporter throughout the process. He has been with me each step of the way and I can’t begin to explain what his support has meant to me as well as my church family, my co-workers, friends, staff at Holzer Cancer Center, and this community. I know people were and are still praying for me and I appreciate all those prayers,” said Thomas. Throughout her journey, Thomas learned there are different types of breast cancer as well as many different medications to treat each one. Also, she learned a women can be diagnosed with the disease even if close family members have not had the disease. “It can still affect you, no matter your age or your family history, early detection truly makes the difference. I don’t want to think about the outcome for me if I had waited,” said Thomas. She explained one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, which is 12.5 out of 100 women, and 2.5 out of the 12.5 will be diagnosed with Friday, October 12, 2018 3 1740 Eastern Ave. Gallipolis, Ohio 45631 Owners John & Sandy Dailey �BREAST CANCER AWARENESS 4 Friday, October 12, 2018 Ohio Valley Publishing Former players honor ‘the coach’ Staff Report college, I’m not sure I would be a doctor today,” Dr. Kelly Roush said.

About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will be diagnosed breast cancer at some point. The good news is that many women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. If you are a woman age 40, talk with your doctor about starting your annual screening mammograms. It’s important to discuss your risk for breast cancer, especially if a close family member of yours had breast or ovarian cancer. Your doctor can help you decide when and how often to get mammograms. Information provided by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., includes the following frequently asked questions: Can physical activity reduce the risk of breast cancer? Exercise boosts the immune system and smoking the healing can begin and each week in which you are smokefree, you give yourself increasing advantages for a healthier life.

If any unusual symptoms or changes in your breasts occur before your scheduled visit, do not hesitate to see the doctor immediately. What kind of impact does stress have on breast cancer? Some research studies have shown that factors such as traumatic events and losses can alter immune system functions, and when immune functions are altered cancer cells may have an opportunity to become established within one’s body. What has been shown is that it is not the fact that a major life crisis has occurred but instead how the individual reacted to this event and coped (or didn’t cope). Therefore, identifying ways to keep your stress level in check is wise.

They are here for you every step of the way. Thanks to a partnership with Cabell Huntington Hospital, Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center (ECCC), and the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH) offers comprehensive cancer care rivaling that of larger hospitals. Mohamed Alsharedi, MD, a fellowship-trained medical oncologist from ECCC, provides hematologic oncology and general hematology care, treating patients with all types of cancers. “We have all the necessary tools to diagnose and treat cancer here,” Dr. Alsharedi said. “From chemotherapy to immunotherapy to advanced CT scanners that can detect cancer, as well as monitor a patient’s progress following treatment, we have everything we need at our ﬁngertips. I can say with conﬁdence that patients can get the same level of care at PVH as they can at a larger facility.” One of the challenges local cancer patients have faced in the past is convenient access to comprehensive cancer care. In addition to receiving their treatments close to home in the ECCC and Infusion Center at PVH, patients can also have imaging, scans, and blood work done at the very same facility. Having all of these services available in one place reduces the added stress of having to travel to and from an outside facility, multiple times per week, for an extended period of time. “Having to travel long distances for treatment can be both a physical and ﬁnancial burden,” said Dr. Alsharedi. “Having cancer care here in the Point Pleasant area allows a patient to be near their family and support system, which is an immeasurable advantage.” Dr. Alsharedi is also a faculty member at the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine at Marshall University. For cancer patients, this means that he is on the leading edge of treatment updates and procedures, and has access to colleagues who can provide a second opinion when unusual cancer cases present. This kind of access means not having to leave PVH for specialized cancer care. It is important to remember that a cancer diagnosis is no longer a death sentence. Clinicians at the ECCC and Infusion Center at PVH are committed to keeping this wonderful community healthy. We will be here for you every step of the way.

A family of breast cancer survivors By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — “Be familiar with your body and what is normal for you.” That is one of the messages from breast cancer survivor Shelly Combs a little more than a year after her cancer diagnosis. “It was a God thing,” said Combs of ﬁnding her cancer. Combs is the daughter of 13-year breast cancer survivor Tina Parker, and has had close friends battle the disease. Because of that she did regular self-exams and had started mammograms at the recommended age of 35. But it was laying in bed one night, talking with her hands as she often does, that Combs felt something that was not normal. She said she did not panic, but set up an appointment to have it checked. Tests followed, including an ultrasound and a biopsy of two places, one of which was cancerous. She was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer. Her mom, aunt, cousin and great-grandmother had also battled breast cancer, with two of them having it twice. Combs cancer was triple positive which is aggressive and fast-growing. Courtesy photo Shelly Combs, left, and her mom Tina Parker are pictured at the Meigs County Cancer Survivor dinner last fall. Both are breast cancer survivors. Doctors told Combs that she could undergo a lumpectomy and radiation, but after doing her own research, seeking a second opinion, and knowing her family history, she opted for a double mastectomy. When it came time to make that decision, Combs said she prayed to know that she was making the right decision. The answer she heard back from God was that no matter the decision He would be there to comfort her. Following her surgery, Combs was sent to an oncologist as doctors recommended chemotherapy, Herceptin for a year and another pill for ﬁve years. Researching treatment options through videos, books and other sources, Combs concluded that chemotherapy was not a good option for her, pre- ferring to go the natural route. Among the natural options, include cancerﬁghting foods, juices and other items. Combs is also active in Crossﬁt, in addition to living a healthy lifestyle. “Living a healthy lifestyle is so important. I learned how much stress really affects our bodies and how important sleep is. I’ve failed miserably in those areas in the past,” said Combs. “Emotional health is also vital. Practice forgiveness. No one likes to hear it but regular exercise is necessary. Don’t neglect yourself. I think as women, we are guilty of that often. We are so busy taking care of everyone else, we fail to take care of our own needs and our own health. No one is going to do that for you.” Ultimately, Combs said, the decision on which treatment option to move forward with is a personal one which each person must make on their own. While the route she took is what was best for her, it may not be the best route for the next person. “It is a personal choice that you have to make,” said Combs. She said that when people ask her about her experience, she shares what she has learned, but encourages each person to make their own decision that is right for them. She also prays for them and encourages them along their journey. Reﬂecting on the time since her diagnosis, Combs said it is deﬁnitely something that changes your life. “You think about what’s really important,” said Combs, adding that she has spent more time with friends and family. While initially thinking she would undergo immediate reconstructive surgery, Combs opted not to have the procedure. As for whether she would consider it in the future, she said that she probably won’t. “It didn’t change the way I look at myself,” said Combs, while acknowledging that it can be the case for some. “Don’t let it deﬁne you. It is part of my story and I have grown through it,” said Combs. Cancer survivor support group available at Holzer GALLIPOLIS — Holzer Center for Cancer Care sponsors a monthly Cancer Survivor Support Group at the Gallipolis Hospital on the second Thursday of the month at 12noon. The group is designed to help individuals, who either have cancer or are cancer survivors, and their loved ones understand cancer, manage treatment and recovery, and ﬁnd the emotional support they need. The group features guest speakers to discuss topics of interest for those in attendance. As shared by the National Cancer Institute, the number one reason an individual joins a support group is to be with others with similar cancer experiences. Some research shows that joining a support group improves both quality of life and survival. Support groups can: * Help you feel better, more hopeful, and not so alone * Give you a chance to talk about your feelings and work through them * Help you deal with practical problems, such as problems at work or school * Help you cope with side effects of treatment For more information, or to RSVP, call (740) 441-3572.

Take time for you As women, we know how to get things done, and we are experts at taking care of others. We are mothers, grandmothers, wives, sisters, aunts, and so much more. When we take good care of ourselves, we can take better care of those we love so much. “When I see a new patient, I ask a series of standard questions. One of the ﬁrst things I establish is when they had their last full check-up, including a pelvic exam and Pap test. Far too often, women tell me Dr. Fri Mofor-Eta it’s been years since their last visit. I ﬁnd that many women believe the lack of any noticeable symptom indicates good health. Other women tell me they lead busy lives, and simply cannot spare the time it would require to tend to their own health needs. All women, regardless of age, need regular women’s health exams, even if there are no issues or symptoms present,” stated Fri Mofor-Eta, MD, FACOG, OB/ GYN. A typical annual exam is relatively brief. It includes several key components meant to detect any underlying problems. Important components of the exam include: Pelvic Exam: This exam allows the gynecologist to look for any tissue changes or abnormalities. It’s also the most reliable way available to screen for ovarian cancer. Women should typically begin this exam annually at age 21. Pap Test: This lab test looks for changes in the cells of a woman’s cervix that can later lead to cancer. By collecting cells and then examining them under a microscope, we can screen for cervical cancer. This test begins at age 21 with subsequent tests at least every three years. Clinical Breast Exam: This exam allows a gynecologist to check for changes that might indicate breast cancer. If needed, a referral is available for a mammogram or ultrasound. A clinical breast exam should take place every one or two years beginning at age 20. “If you haven’t had an annual exam in a year or more, please make it a priority. Your health and happiness are important to me, and I am available to address any questions or concerns you may have,” stated Fri Mofor-Eta, MD, FACOG, OB/ GYN.
