MEIGS COUNTY — While it may be Black Friday, businesses around Meigs County are gearing up for their own big shopping day. Small Business Saturday takes place the Saturday after Thanksgiving each year, bringing holiday shopping to local businesses. It is that local shopping that is the key to communities such as those in Meigs County. “Every time we buy local we are adding a building block to our community. When we make a purchase, that money is used to create economic activity right here in Meigs County. The businesses pay taxes that help build and maintain infrastructure we all rely on. They provide jobs and give back to our communities,” said Meigs County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Shelly Combs of the importance of shopping local.

A teacher, a policeman, a lawyer, a doctor, or a nurse? There are so many jobs from which to choose. How do we decide? Some might choose a job where they think they can make a lot of money. Another might choose to be a teacher because of their love God’s Kids for children. Korner Another might Pastor Ann choose to be a doctor or a Moody nurse because they want to help sick people become well. Some might choose to follow their parents in their chosen profession. Quite often a person starts out in one job and then decides it isn’t the right one for them, and they choose another type of work. When we are children, we may say, “I want to do this or that when I grow up.” It doesn’t always work out that way. Do you think Jesus ever thought about what He was going to be when He grew up? He could have become a carpenter. His earthly father, Joseph, was a carpenter, and when Jesus was a young man, He worked with his father in his carpenter’s shop. Perhaps Jesus might have chosen to be a doctor. He certainly had a gift for healing people. He might have chosen to be a wine maker. When He turned water into wine at a wedding feast, the guests thought it was the best wine they had ever tasted. Surely Jesus could have gone into the ﬁshing business. He once told some ﬁshermen where to cast their nets, and they caught so many ﬁsh that their nets could not hold them all. Those would have all been good choices for Jesus, but that was not what He was born to do. Think of a crown. Who would wear a crown? That’s right! A king. Now, a person doesn’t just wake up one day and say, “I know what I want to be… I want to be a king.” No, a person has to be born to be a king. During the last days of His life on earth, Jesus was arrested and put on trial. He was asked by Pilate, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Is that your idea, or did others talk to you about Me?” Jesus asked. “It was your people who handed You over to me. What have You done?” Pilate replied. “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would ﬁght to defend Me. My kingdom is from another place.” “So, You are a king then,” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world.” This Sunday is called Christ the King Sunday. Jesus was born to be King, but not the kind of king that wears a crown and rules an earthly kingdom. His kingdom is in Heaven where He rules now and forever. We celebrate His Kingship this week. Let’s say a prayer together. Heavenly Father, we offer praise to Jesus, our King. We choose to follow Him each day. We look forward to living with Him in heaven where He reigns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

However, without strong roots, a magniﬁcent tree is impossible. The verse continues to say, “established in the faith.” Every tree needs established roots in order to stand strong. Allow me to take this concept a step further. When comparing humanity to trees, I can’t help but think of what Jesus teaches. He says, “‘Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he [the Father] takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing’” (John 15:2-5 ESV). Notice the ﬁrst sentence of what Jesus says. If a branch doesn’t bear fruit, that branch is removed. On the other hand, if a branch does bear fruit, that branch is pruned in order to produce even more fruit. In other words, if you’re being pruned, take it as a blessing. God doesn’t prune a dead “branch” in your life. If He’s pruning your tree, an abundance of fresh fruit is soon to come. However, Jesus is careful to mention the importance of abiding in Him as you grow. Always make sure you are rooted in Him—yes, Jesus Christ. The third part of Colossians I want to study is the following: “abounding in thanksgiving.” It sounds like a holiday we celebrate this time of year! But the Bible tells us to always be thankful. “And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, ﬁll your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts” (Col. 3:15-16 NLT). Thankfulness is like the lid to a container. It’s like the mug to the coffee. The pages of a book. Thankfulness is of the upmost importance when it comes to growing in the Lord. It should be intertwined with everything we do. Everything we say. Our lives should be so full of thankfulness unto God that our roots shake in praise. Our trees should sway in the wind. I don’t know what your Thanksgiving looks like in 2018. I don’t know what kind of growth you’re experiencing. But thank Him anyway. Giving thanks to God involves a bit of know-how bally. Within this I have noted framework of over the years giving thanks, that the bestDavid says that blessed people are we should “call the most thankful upon” God, and people. It should that we should be innate with us to be profusely Pastor Ron “talk” about His wonderful thankful to God Branch for His deep rich Contributing works. These are obvious verbal blessings. columnist responses. But, how to This is not a give God thanks trite matter to consider. comes into question. If I stand in front of It involves more than just uttering a mundane Terry, and say, “What am I thinking,” she “Thanks.” Actually, we would not know speciﬁcan learn how to best give God thanks from a cally. But, if I verbalize, certain psalm written by “I am very thankful that David. The following is you ﬁxed me biscuits what we can glean from and gravy for breakfast this morning,” it it and—-perhaps—-be becomes much more better at the giving of qualiﬁed. thanks. While it is understood The context of that God knows our David’s psalm is when thoughts, we should be he was allowed by God willing to outwardly to bring into the city of Jerusalem the Ark of speak thanksgiving to God. Verbalizing thanks the Covenant. He was ﬁlled with thanksgiving is a proper spiritual to God for allowing him activity. David’s psalm teaches the great privilege. So, us to give God thanks he wrote the psalm “to purposefully, for he thank the Lord.” speaks of “rejoicWhat we see, ﬁrst of ing,” “seeking,” and all, is that we should “remembering” with a give God thanks ver- purposeful intent the goodness of God. If you want someone to keep on being good and kind, you tend to want to express on purpose that you are thankful for what they do. It goes back to the biscuits and gravy—-if I do not purposely offer thanks for the kind preparations, the lady might think I do not care, and stop the provision. God forbid! So, I make it a point to give thanks. The same way it should be with us toward the Lord. A third teachable point is that we should give thanks particularly. David reminded the people “to be mindful,” and gave them at least two particular points about which their thanksgiving to God should be mindful. The one has to do with the “covenant” God established with them concerning the land He promised to them. By contrast, God has given to us in the United States a wonderful land that is very beautiful. He has given to us a land that yields for us many products that sustain for us a comfortable lifestyle. While we may muddy our country’s circumstances by our decisions and actions, our perspectives should be tempered by the fact that we have such a good place in which to live. Our country is a “particular” reason for which to give God thanks. The other has to do with the protection God has given. “Touch not mine anointed,” God told the nations concerning Israel. And, by contrast, while we understand that America is not completely untouchable, it is, nonetheless, very protected. Our location on the earth from certain enemies is a factor. Our strong and valiant military is a considerable factor. I particularly thank God for our land and for His protection of it. An important thankful know-how is to give God thanks passionately. This is rec- ognized from David’s passionate disclosures about God. “For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,” he said. “Give to the Lord the glory due His name… Fear before Him…Let the Heavens be glad and let the earth rejoice… Give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, His mercy endureth forever.” For example, a man who loves his wife will express his passion for her. He will tell her with passion how pretty she is. He will tell her with passion how much he loves her. Expressions of passion keep a marriage vibrant. So it is with our relationship with the Lord. We need to maintain thanks to Him with heartfelt passion. Be thankful point speciﬁcally to God. But, take the cues from Scripture how we can be thankful in the most efﬁcient manner.

You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons” (1 Corinthians 10:20-21; ESV). In a similar vein, Paul tells Timothy that there would be those that left the faith of Christ in order to pursue, “the doctrine of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1). Today, when we think of “demons,” we tend to think of cartoon versions of the devil, or movietype monsters oozing darkness and dread. But as we study the Bible, we should understand that, contextually and historically, demons were most often simply references to those false gods and spirits that men were actually worshipping in that day and time. Today, there aren’t a lot of people who would take being told that they were a bunch of demonworshippers as well as the Athenians took it. But being religious is not the same as being godly and we need to make sure that as we seek to worship God, we are actually worshipping Him and not some other. Paul, warning Timothy about demonworship, and the like, said, “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.” (1 Timothy 4:1-3; ESV) Paul was not speaking of Greek pagans in this warning, but of those who would claim to follow Christ, but would mingle their faith with things contrary to the truth. A doctrine is either from God, or it is demonic in nature. America is ﬁlled with houses of worship and most polls inform us that we are a very religious nation. But so was ancient Athens. Being religious is not enough. Let’s do our very best to make sure that we are worshipping the God who made the heavens and the earth, and not some counterfeit, dare we say, demonic, imitation.

(AP) — No. 4 Michigan has the nation’s top-ranked defense with NFLcaliber players at each position group and one of the game’s best coordinators calling the shots. The Wolverines, though, have not been tested as much as they will be by No. 10 Ohio State and quarterback Dwayne Haskins on Saturday in the Horseshoe. And they know this edition of The Game will deﬁne their season. “Everybody is going to remember what you did against Ohio State,” defensive tackle Carlo Kemp said. “This game has huge implications. For us to go out there and continue the way we’ve been playing, that would be a statement.” Ohio State’s defense, meanwhile, has uncharacteristically had a hard time stopping a lot of teams. The Buckeyes gave up a total of 100 points in a one-point, overtime win at Maryland and in a lopsided loss a month ago at Purdue. Losing standout Nick Bosa didn’t help, but Ohio State has not found any consistent way to shut down teams. “I feel like things are just getting overplayed because the games are closer than what they’re usually used to,” Buckeyes defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones said. “We don’t have the same personnel, like I’ve said before, so don’t expect every game to be perfect. We’re 10-1, not 1-10. We’re winning good games. We’ve won against ranked teams. We’re going to play up to our competition.” Ohio State has won six straight in the rivalry, but in three wins against coach Jim Harbaugh has not had to defend a dual-threat quarterback anything like Shea Patterson , who is surrounded by talented skill players and a solid offensive line. Michigan may be without defensive end Chase Winovich because of a shoulder injury. If the defensive player of the year candidate can’t play, the Wolverines have so much depth they may be able to overcome it just as they did when defensive tackle Rashan Gary missed three games last month with a shoulder injury. Assistant coach Greg Mattison said before the season started eight or nine players would merit playing time on the defensive line, and he wasn’t exaggerating. The backups do their part, too: Despite being a reserve in every game, Josh Uche leads Michigan with seven sacks. The deep and talented front occupies offensive linemen, allowing linebackers such as Devin Bush to blitz quarterbacks or sprint sideline to sideline to make tackles. Speedy and aggressive defensive backs are put in man-to-man coverage by defensive coordinator Don Brown, a candidate for the Broyles Award as college football’s top assistant. It all adds up to help Michigan lead the nation in yards allowed per game (234.8) and yards passing (123.2) while ranking fourth in points allowed (13.5). Ohio State’s defense took a hit it hasn’t recovered from when Bosa needed surgery for a core muscle injury after playing in three games this season. The defensive end decided to withdraw from See OSU | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Nov. 23 Girls Basketball South Gallia at River Valley, 6:30 College Football Akron at Ohio, noon Saturday, Nov. 24 College Football Marshall at Florida International, noon Photos by Bryan Walters|OVP Sports Wahama sophomore Emma Gibbs (7) hits a spike attempt during a Sept. 18 volleyball contest against Southern at Gary Clark Court in Mason, W.Va. 12 named All-TVC in volleyball By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com A total of 12 athletes from the Ohio Valley Publishing are were named to the 2018 AllTri-Valley Conference volleyball teams in the Ohio and Hocking divisions, as voted on by the coaches in each league.

Rangers’ Adrian Beltre retires after 21 seasons ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Adrian Beltre had a sometimes-imposing stare and plenty of quirky habits. He also had a genuine love for the game, and a lot of fun in a Hall of Fame-caliber career. After 21 big league seasons in which Beltre hit 477 home runs and became the ﬁrst player from the Dominican Republic to have 3,000 hits, the slick-ﬁelding third baseman for the Reds exempt from tax on bobbleheads Associated Press CINCINNATI — Quoting the Cincinnati Reds’ longtime playby-play announcer, the Ohio Supreme Court declared Tuesday that “this one belongs to the Reds.” The state’s high court ruled 5-2 that the Major League Baseball franchise is exempt from paying tax on the purchase of bobbleheads and other promotional items the team offers to ticket buyers. The opinion written by Justice Patrick Fischer warned that the ruling was speciﬁc to the case and might not apply for other sports organizations. But the Department of Taxation’s chief legal counsel, Matt Chaﬁn, said the decision essentially shows professional teams how to avoid the “use tax” on promotional items. Reds spokesman Rob Butcher said the club is “happy with the outcome,” but is still reviewing the opinion. The department argued the bobbleheads should be taxed because they’re bought by the Reds as giveaways, not sold with tickets. The Reds argued they’re exempt because they resell the items as part of the ticket package and Ohio law exempts companies from paying tax on items they buy for resale. Fischer, a Cincinnati resident, led off the opinion with a long summary of Ohio’s role in baseball history beginning in 1869, when the Cincinnati Red Stockings became the ﬁrst all-professional team. There are references to Hall of Famers from Ohio including players Cy Young, Mike Schmidt and Barry Larkin, to the 1975-76 “Big Red Machine” champions, and ﬁrsts such as Larry Doby of the Cleveland Indians becoming the ﬁrst black American League player and to the ﬁrst night game being played in Cincinnati. Then, in explaining the ruling, Fischer wrote that unlike a foul ball or a T-shirt shot into the stands (the Reds use a contraption nicknamed “Redzilla” to ﬁre free T-shirts into the crowd) that fans have no expectation of receiving, they buy tickets for games that have been advertised as bobblehead games expecting to get the bobbleheads, which last season included All-Stars Joey Votto and Eugenio Suarez. “We accordingly conclude that the promotion items constituted things of value in exchange for which fans paid money that was TVC included in the ticket prices,” the opinion stated. After quoting Reds’ broadcaster Marty Brennaman’s signature “this one belongs to the Reds,” Fischer also quoted Brennaman’s late broadcasting partner, Joe Nuxhall, saying the justices were “rounding third and heading for home.” Dissenting Justice Mary DeGenaro wrote that the Reds were escaping sales tax or use tax on promotional items that generally apply to similar purchases. She pointed out that the Reds often limit the promotional items, such as free to the ﬁrst 30,000 fans. She said a Reds ofﬁcial had testiﬁed that the Reds would “make accommodations” to remedy the situation, up to offering refunds to fans who complain about missing out. worth, Denise Young, Cara Taylor, Ana-Sophia Bearsley.

This season, his seventh in Columbus, was tumultuous bordering on absurd even before the ﬁrst game kicked off on Sept. 1. Meyer weathered a scandal involving a nowﬁred assistant coach that led to his suspension for the ﬁrst three games and a series of public apologies and explanations.

He lost star defensive end Nick Bosa to an early season-ending injury, and the Buckeyes’ defense never fully recovered. The problems led to a shocking blowout by unranked Purdue on Oct. 20 that pushed Ohio State to the fringe of the playoff picture. Other injuries have been a plague all year. Just last week, Meyer had to stop preparations for the Maryland game and address another offthe-ﬁeld issue, this one involving a report that a former player left the program because of bad Ellm View Apts. &DOO IRU DPHQLWLHV� /DQGORUG SD\V :DWHU� 7UDVK� 6HZDJH� 5HQW� �� 8S� �� Equal Housing Opportunity It is safe to say that nothing has personally hurt Meyer more in his career than people saying his lax treatment of now-ﬁred assistant coach Zach Smith made him culpable in the domestic abuse allegedly suffered by Smith’s ex-wife.

Grier missed last year’s meeting with a broken ﬁnger and the Mountaineers were blown out in Norman, Oklahoma. The senior will play his ﬁnal home game Friday and can send No. 12 West Virginia (8-2, 6-2 Big 12) into the Dec. 1 league championship game with a win over the sixthranked Sooners (10-1, 7-1). “It’s all you can ask for,” Grier said. “It’s going to be fun.” Grier has been mostly solid during an up-anddown season in which he has fallen back from preseason Heisman Trophy chatter. Now he’ll get a chance to outplay one of the Heisman Trophy favorites, Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray. Both were named Maxwell Award ﬁnalists on Monday, along with Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa. The award is given to the nation’s top player. Murray also is a ﬁnalist for the Davey O’Brien Award as the top quarterback. Grier and Murray started their college careers in the SEC, Grier at Florida and Murray with Texas A&M. Grier left in 2015 after he was suspended for one year for violating the NCAA’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
