Handkerchiefs bring back a lot of memories. I used to give them at Christmas to my “special” uncles and even gave some monogrammed ones to my dad a couple of times.
I remember when my Dad would get blest at church and pull out his pocket handker-chief and start waving it. In our denomination that was a sign of surrendering all you have to Jesus.
Others of us, including myself, carried one for many years and it came in handy many times.
Handkerchiefs have be-come a forgotten item . . . until recently. They are mak-ing a comeback and many men would like to find them in their Christmas stocking this year.
Ray Smith, of the Wall Street Journal, writes . . . “This winter, the hankies are coming out.
It isn’t just because this is the season of sniffles. A cur-rent hankering for retro men’s accessories, such as hats, tie bars and pocket squares, is reawakening interest in hand-kerchiefs, some retailers say. After years of being tucked away while a germ-conscious society turned to tissues, the humble handkerchief is be-ing rediscovered and in some cases reimagined with bold patterns and colors.
“In the way that skinny ties and tie bars are once again [au] courant, the cotton hand-kerchief has come out of the bottom drawer and found its way into the pockets of some of the hippest dandies,” says Tom Kalenderian, executive vice president of the men’s department at Barney’s New York. Its Madison Avenue store features two table-size display cases of handker-chiefs on the first floor, which he says would have been un-imaginable 20 years ago when the store opened. Colored and patterned handkerchiefs are prominent.
At Hermes, the white hand-kerchiefs aren’t necessarily plain. The Faune Lettree line, launched this year, features the word “Hermes” spelled in quirky abstract letters ar-ranged so that “however you decide to fold it or wear it in your pocket, you can have any letter showing,” says Robert Chavez, president and chief executive of Hermes of Paris. Handkerchiefs today are “one of our fastest-growing acces-sories categories,” he says.
The handkerchief shouldn’t be confused with the pocket square, which is meant to be purely decorative. One is for blow and the other for show, according to a common refrain in the menswear industry. Handkerchiefs are typically cotton or linen, while pocket squares are more likely to be silk and boast bolder patterns. A neatly folded white cotton handkerchief can, however, be used decoratively, placed
in the chest pocket. In the past seven or so years,
as the menswear industry has pushed a more dressed-up look inspired by past decades, pocket squares exploded in popularity. Now, the func-tional handkerchief is enjoy-ing a renaissance as well, according to some retailers.
Mr. Chavez at Hermes at-tributes some customer inter-est in the house’s handker-chiefs to the whimsical design characteristics they share with Hermes pocket squares. Hermes has a half-dozen types of handkerchiefs, from classic white to colorful.
Since handkerchiefs have been outside the mainstream consciousness for some time, many younger men may re-quire a Handkerchief 101 class in etiquette and han-dling. “If I saw a person just sneeze or with perspiration on their forehead, and they were trying to wipe it with their hand or sleeve, and I had one in my pocket, I would offer them my handkerchief,” says Peter Post, managing director of the Emily Post Institute etiquette specialists. Mr. Post, author of the book “Essential Manners for Men” and one of the four great-grandchildren of Emily Post, says the hand-kerchief should be a fresh one. “You wouldn’t offer someone a used tissue either, so don’t give someone a handkerchief that has already been used,” he says. The recipient ideally should return the handker-chief either immediately or, if soiled, as soon as it has been laundered.
Growing up, Mr. Post, 64, recalls his father “always had a handkerchief in his pock-et.” Mr. Post says he carried pocket tissue packs instead. His father’s handkerchiefs “always made me uncomfort-able,” he says, citing fear they harbored germs.
With handkerchiefs, the “ick” factor inevitably comes up. Aaron E. Glatt, an infec-tious-disease specialist and spokesman for the Infectious Diseases Society of America, says he isn’t aware of a study
that shows handkerchiefs are more germ-spreading than tissues. Still, he says, “if you blow your nose with it and your hands are moist from the secretions, then you go and touch somebody else or an object, you can be transferring the virus.” A handkerchief user should wash or sanitize his hands right after using it.
Dr. Glatt, also executive vice president of Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Centre, New York, adds that touching “somebody else’s handkerchief could be a prob-lem” if it isn’t clan, since virus can still be present in a damp handkerchief.
Handkerchiefs go back to ancient Greece, where a little square of fabric was used to blow one’s nose. But it was in the late 1300s that they were popularized by England’s King Richard II, according to Mark-Evan Blackman, former chairman of the menswear de-sign department at the Fash-ion Institute of Technology. They were used primarily by society’s elite but gradually were adopted by the masses.
In the 1900s, “it was a stan-dard item for any profession-al, even for many blue-collar workers, Monday through Friday and even on week-ends,” says Mr. Blackman. “You didn’t go out without a handkerchief.” Women, too, carried handkerchiefs, often in their pocketbooks. But starting in the 1930s, hand-kerchiefs began falling out of favor, as Kleenex facial tissue was actively promoted as a more hygienic alternative.
Still, handkerchiefs have their day as the holidays ap-proach, bringing a pressing need for a gift for Dad. Turn-bull & Asser sees a spike in sales of handkerchiefs during the holiday season, and espe-cially of white linen handker-chiefs, which some customers use as pocket squares for tux-edos, said James Fayed, head of its North American busi-ness. “It gives that straighter, crisper, cleaner look in the pocket.”
Turnbull & Asser sells col-orful and patterned cotton and linen handkerchiefs made from shirt fabric, and recently launched a limited-edition set of silk handkerchiefs with de-signs based on a mural on the side of its Manhattan store. Its best seller, Mr. Fayed said, remains a six-pack box of white cotton handkerchiefs, each with its own subtle de-tailing.
At Brooks Brothers, hand-kerchiefs sell well year-round, but Christmas is the best-selling period, followed by Father’s Day, says Guy Voglino, vice president of men’s global merchandising. Handkerchiefs typically come in white cotton and Irish linen and in packs of three, six, seven or thirteen, and they can be monogrammed.
For some, handkerchiefs never went out of style. Mi-chael Zimmet, a 51-year-old lawyer based in Baltimore County, Maryland, has long tucked a handkerchief into his pants pocket when going to work or a social event. “I often have a runny nose,” he says. When dressed up, he says, “It looks more re-fined to be carrying around a cotton handkerchief than a Kleenex.”
Other men who may have put away their handkerchiefs find they are handy again. Todd Keefer, a 44-year-old case worker for Pennsylva-nia’s human-services depart-ment, used to carry handker-chiefs years ago but felt they were a little “gross,” he says. In the past two years, though, since moving to Philadelphia and walking and using public transportation rather than driving, he has found hand-kerchiefs useful, and now owns about eight. He likes to have them when his allergies flare up on a subway or bus, he says.
Once, he had an unfortu-nate encounter with a bird overhead. “Luckily I had [a handkerchief] in my pocket, he says. A few weeks ago, he went salsa dancing and his dance partner was “sweating like crazy,” so he lent her his handkerchief. When he has one, he says, “it feels like be-ing prepared.”
—CC— Many of us remember the
book written by Art Linklet-ter, “Kids Say The Darnd-est Thing.” Recently I ran across a book that reminded me of that one. In it the author has asked some chil-dren “How do you think God spends Christmas Day?” Their answers are great . . .
“He watches Miracle on 34th Street.”
Lyle, age 10 “It must be a day of rest
because I think He likes those days of rest.”
Nicholas, age 8 “He plays cloudball . . . It’s
like football, but you throw a cloud instead.”
Kerr, age 10 “He goes to a big Christmas
party and tries to find a date in Heaven for New Year’s.”
Arnold, age 10 “A lot of the time He has
to find out what went wrong with the big snow machine.”
Robbie, age 8 “He says prayers to Him-
self . . . but that gives Him a headache after a while and so He goes and visits with some grandma and grandpas that came up to Him in the last few weeks.”
Terry, age 9 “He attends a big gradua-
tion ceremony where some of the angels get their wings.”
Anita, age 9 “God just relaxes and starts
planning some miracles for the coming year.”
Carey, age 7 “God goes to a place like
the White Mountains and sits around the big fireplace and rests. God doesn’t need to eat, so God just takes in all the love from around the world.”
Marcus, age 8 “It’s the happiest day of the
year for Him because His first son was born on that day and parents always like to remem-ber things like that.”
Colleen, age 8—CC—
And last of all . . . My fa-vorite story of the Christmas season is the following.
A southern-gospel group arrived home from a sing-ing tour and was called by the widow of a man in their church who had just passed away. The widow asked them to sing three of her husband’s favorite songs at the funeral: In The Garden, Amazing Grace, and Jingle Bells.
The group leader had mis-givings about singing Jingle Bells at a funeral, but when the widow insisted that her husband loved the song, he agreed to sing it but told her that they would be singing it “real slow.”
At the funeral service, the group sang all three songs, including Jingle Bells slowly and mournfully. Afterward, the widow thanked the group for singing and added: “Oh, I remember the name of the song my husband liked so much. It wasn’t Jingle Bells, it was When They Ring Those Golden Bells.”

When I was growing up, Sunday was the day the whole family went to church and then went home to a dinner of fried chicken. On many of those Sundays the preacher and his family were our guests for
dinner. One Sunday, after the preach-
er had helped himself to several pieces of the chicken, he leaned back in his chair and look-ing out the window, he saw a rooster proudly strutting around the barnyard. He said, “You
have a mighty proud rooster out there.” My Dad replied, “Well, he ought to be proud. One of his sons just entered the ministry.”
This story takes me back to those years when I was growing up and how times have changed. The grownups all ate at the first table and the children ate when the adults were finished. Now the children are fed first and the adults get the second round. It is rarely that anyone even sits down at the table together. Now it is dinner in front of the TV, or at the computer or just on the go. Grab a handful of food, eat fast and get in the car to get to that next meeting or game.
Times have certainly changed. When I was growing up on a farm in the thirties, I had no idea what my life would be like as an adult. I did not even speculate as to what I could accomplish or do. I did dream and all those dreams were big.
I would go to concerts. I would be a great singer. I would write a best selling book. I did not think about it being a work of fiction. I have written a few books. One is a best seller, sell-ing over 3400 copies in seven different countries. Another is just off the press and not do-ing as well as I had hoped but I have a way to go on it. One I thought I had written just for my family about growing up during the Dust Bowl and the depression of the 1930’s. It was displayed at one of my book signings and has just taken off. I am having to print more copies. Everyone who bought a book, began to spread the word and I am getting requests for it.
At one time I did think the story of my family would make a good book. I even had a title. Since there were thirteen chil-dren in my family, the title was to be A Dozen and One. With that many kids in one family,
there was bound to be a lot to write about. I have never writ-ten that book.
Now I know that every day that I live is a blessing. I don’t speculate on what I will become or how my life will turn out. I think I am there. Every day I realize that God is so good to me. People are kind and show it in so many ways. Recently I re-ceived a gift of a beautiful book from an unexpected source. The book is entitled Angels Every-where. The sender enclosed a note as to how she had been helped in recent weeks. She realized that there are angels everywhere. They appeared when she needed them. She wanted to share. She is blessed and so am I.
I believe that there are angels everywhere. Good created them many centuries ago and I am so glad that mine continues to watch over me. Yes, I know I am blessed.

The Lord’s Day at Har-mony Missionary Baptist Church of Gerty began with singing. We were blest to have Myron and Tammye Lockwood in service. My-ron sang bass with us in “This Is My Fathers World.” Tammye sang “Each Step I Take.”
Devotional reading was taken from Psalm 102:19-28. Sunday School lesson was “The Eternity of God.” He is “I Am.” He is never “I Was” or “I Will Be.” “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the ev-erlasting arms.” Deuter-onomy 33:27
“Just A Little Talk With Jesus” and “How Long Has It Been?” were sung before the morning message.
Bro. David’s message was on John the Baptist preach-ing repentance. Luke 3:1-20. We were thankful to have Sister Billie in ser-vice.
We pray you have a good week and may God Bless You! Remember the “Rea-son For the Season.” Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Time to guard your pets against fleas and ticks
Tim Costner, D.V.M
Christmas Time is Here Many of us remember Christmas times past being a lot different than now. We live in times of prosperity and people mostly get what they want these days—espe-cially kids—for Christmas.
During WWII it was hard to get toys such as trains, little metal cars and such but, never-the-less, I did get a small toy dump truck one year. It had a little lever on the side that would cause the bed to slowly tilt and dump its load. It was quite the toy and I enjoyed it for—well all day on that December 25 until my mom, a novice driver ran over it later in the day. It was indeed a
sad event but not as bad as what challenged my young brother-in-law, Fred Ellis, one Christmas out in Phoe-nix, Arizona.
Times were tough that Christmas for Pat’s family that year. Daddy Fred had been out of work but had fi -nally landed a new job which yielded him a paycheck right before Christmas. The fam-ily full of good spirit and loaded with fresh cash went out and Christmas shopped so they would have some-thing under their scraggly tree. Gifts were especially
needed for the three kids who still lived at home. Freddie had his heart set on a new bike as his didn’t work. The family was in a rare mood of euphoria as they fi lled up the old family car and hit the malls. Later on a good fast food lunch sated their appetites as they happily journeyed home as visions of sugar plums or new toys danced in their heads.
The Mama Ellis (Kay) needed to swing by the super market on the way home so they all made their trek inside to make sure they got some more favorite good-ies. It was Christmas and for sure little Freddie was making the most of it. Gro-ceries were cheap back in the 1960s and they bought a lot. In fact they spent all as they went back to the car. But alas, the car was gone. They had left the keys in the old Buick and someone took it away. The presents were gone too. The police gave them a ride home but neither the car nor the presents were ever found.
The family tried to enjoy their groceries and treats from the supermarket but little Freddie kept returning to look at the vacant spot un-der the sad little Christmas tree. Christmas Eve the boy brightened up. “Santa will still come see me and at least I’ll get some toys from him.” Despite the lack of encour-agement from his family, his spirits were buoyed and he confessed that he had told a Santa somewhere he wanted a new bike and a new bike it would be when he got up the next morning—December 25.
Freddie went to bed early that December 24 but when he got up there was no bike. Just a little toy car which unfortunately had been laid on the floor furnace and its little rubber wheels had
melted fl at on one side. But never mind, Freddie was still searching for that bike. He knew it had to be there someplace—and lo and be-hold it was! Next door stood the brand new shiny bike and Freddie’s heart was gladdened. “I knew Santa would remember—I knew he would bring it to me—He just forgot and left it in the wrong yard. While his startled family stood out on the porch gawking and wondering, the little kid from next door arrived to reclaim his bike. Freddie looked in vain for aid and comfort from his daddy but his daddy wasn’t able to help his little son. No bike.
The Ellis family spent a lot of that day watching a little blonde headed boy play with a truck with 4 fl at-sided wheels—and each and all will forever remember the clunky noise the toy made on the fl oor. And Freddie still remembers that Christ-mastime long ago when things just never did go right. I hope things go better for you this Christmas. And remember the important gifts of life. Love of family and God’s great gift to each of us.
Remember to go to church Sunday and Merry Christ-mas all.
A lady walked into a phar-macy and asked the phar-macist if he had a cure for hiccups. The pharmacist said, “I sure do,” and im-mediately and unexpectedly yelled, “Boo!” at the top of his voice. This nearly scared the lady to death! She looked at the pharmacist and asked, “Why in the world did you do that?” The pharmacist said, “Because a good scare will rid a person of hiccups.” The lady then said, “But I don’t have the hiccups. My husband does and he’s out in the car.”
Oops! Now that’s an illus-tration of how assumptions can be costly. However, the greatest costs regarding assumptions occur in the
spiritual realm. How many people assume they believe and practice the things that please God? If we have nev-er read and studied for our-selves, how can we assume that our religious beliefs and practices are from God?
People say things like, “It doesn’t matter what you believe, just so you are sin-cere,” and “It doesn’t matter what church you are a mem-ber of.” Should we assume that these statements are truths from God or should we examine God’s word to see if they are of God? Perhaps there will be some, who on the Day of Judgment, will say, “But I thought…!!” Jesus said, “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not proph-esied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will de-clare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Matt 7:22-23)

The Allen Mustangs race into this week with three recent wins and a perfect 6-0 record. Coach Greg Mills’ AHS squad is setting the tone for a magical sea-son – but must continue to take steps forward as they navigate the tough schedule that remains.
Allen is fresh off a 61-51 win over Wanette on Tuesday, a 79-49 drubbing of Maud on Thursday, and a 64-58 verdict over New Lima on Friday.
On Tuesday, Logan George continued his scoring magic with a 26-point showing against the visiting Wanette Tigers.
Ty Brown added 11 points and Josiah Jones just missed double digits with 9 points.
Other scoring included Ka-nan Wisdom with 7 points, Christian Henry provided 5 and Tommy Lee Peay tal-lied 3.
The Mustangs took a 17-12 lead in the fi rst quarter and turned it to a 33-22 halftime advantage.
Wanette was strong in the second half and actually outscored the home team a combined 29-28. However, the slow start doomed the Tigers to a double-digit loss at 61-51.
Tuesday’s win was a cake-walk as Allen throttled the Maud Tigers 79-49. The Mustangs seized control with a 19-9 start in the fi rst quar-ter. The AHS cagers pushed on to a 43-21 cushion.
After the break, Allen out-scored the Tigers 24-10 to swell the advantage to 67-31. Maud countered with an 18-12 advantage down the stretch but still came out on the short end of a 79-49 fi nal score.

Logan George once again led the game in scoring with 27 points.
Other double-digit scor-ing came from Josiah Jones with 14 points and Ty Brown with 13.
The remaining Mustangs who added to the scoring chart included Tommy Lee Peay with 6 points, Christian Henry and Jordan Stick with 4 each, Colby Eaker, Kanan Wisdom and Fernando Me-dina with 3 and Drew Back with 2.
On Friday, Allen com-pleted the 3-game sweep last weekend with a tough 64-58 triumph over the New Lima Falcons.
New Lima led 16-15 in the fi rst quarter. However, Allen exploded with 26 points in the second period to seize a 41-31 advantage.
In the third period, New Lima outscored the visitors 11-6 to reduce the defi cit to only 4 points at 47-43. The Mustangs held on down the stretch by outscoring the Falcons 17-15. That pushed the lead back to 6 at the fi nal buzzer at 64-58.
Logan George saved his best scoring performance for the third of three games dur-ing the week. George netted 31 points to fuel the scoring attack.
Christian Henry scored 17 points and Ty Brown tallied 11. Josiah Jones finished with 4 points and Kanan Wisdom rounded out the at-tack with 1.
“I am really proud of the game Christian Henry had a New Lima,” the head coach said. “He was consistently hitting jumpers from all around the free throw line. I thought he had a really good game. I also thought we played good defensively. But I think we had to slow down too much.”
Coach Mills also bragged on his entire roster.
“The kids are really play-ing their hearts out,” he said. “With this group, you might be down by 6 points (late) and you still fell like you are never out of it. They play hard and leave it all out on the fl oor.

The Allen Lady Mustangs put together a string of three wins last week in high school basketball action.
Al l en swamped the Wanette Lady Tigers 55-18 on Tuesday. On Thurs-day, the Lady Mustangs outlasted the Maud Lady Tigers 62-50. Then, on Fri-day, Coach Jeremy Strong’s AHS team doubled up the New Lima Falconettes 64-32.
“The girls played a little better last week,” the coach said. “We are getting better guard play and playing with a little more confi dence. We had good ball movement and good defense. That’s how we were able to do what we did.”
In the fi rst game, Allen raced away to a 13-0 lead over Wanette in the opening quarter. The Lady Mustangs exploded for 21 points in the second period while limiting the Lady Tigers to 4 points. The effort vaulted the home team to a com-manding 44-4 halftime ad-vantage.
AHS went on to outscore Wanette 15-2 in the third quarter to grab a 59-8 cush-ion. The visiting Lady Ti-gers managed 12 points in the final quarter to make the fi nal defi cit 37 points at 55-18.
Alison Sells was the only Allen player to score in dou-ble fi gures with 14 points. Charlea Leonard followed with 8 points and Kennedy Prentice tallied 7.

scored 6 points each, includ-ing Alycia Evans, Hannah Heck and Abbey Gaines. Chelsea Wedlow followed with 4 points while Oke-Tw’sha Roberts and Meysa Dolhman scored 2 points each.
Allen moved on to play at Maud on Thursday. The trip to Seminole County would lead to a hard-fought 62-50 victory over the MHS Lady Tigers.
“This was an up and down game … a back and forth game,” Coach Strong said. “We had to fi ght hard to get this one. Maud led 19-16 in the fi rst quarter. Allen then battled to a 29-27 halftime edge.
The Lady Tigers came right back in the third quar-ter to outscore AHS 14-10. The rally pushed Maud to a 41-39 advantage with one quarter to play. But the Lady Mustangs were hav-ing no part of this. They ex-ploded for 23 points down the stretch to run away to a 62-50 victory.
Alison Sells was noth-ing short of sensational in the contest. She soared to a career-high 27 points to fuel the victory. Her total included 7 treys against the Maud defense.
Two other AHS play-ers also landed in double fi gures in scoring. Hannah Heck poured in 13 and Kennedy Prentice fi nished with 11.
Allen also had a pair of 4-point games from Alycia Evans and Faith Caldwell. Brooke Holcomb chipped in 2 points and Abbey Gaines fi nished with 1.
Coach Strong praised Ali-son Sells’ incredible scoring night at Maud.
“She was hitting those treys from all over the fl oor and not just from one spot. She made seven treys and we needed every one of them to win. Maud was a tough opponent but we found a way to get it done against a good team.”
On Friday, Allen had a lot less drama or challenge in the trip to New Lima. The Lady Mustangs toasted the Falconettes 64-32.
The game was a little strange. Allen outscored the host squad 24-23 in combined scoring in the first and fourth quarters. However, the Lady Mus-tangs outscored New Lima 40-6 in the second and third quarters to forge the 64-32 romp.
Hannah Heck led Allen in scoring with 19 points. She pumped in 9 fi eld goals and 1 free throw to amass a career-best scoring night.
Kennedy Prentice added 15 points and Alycia Evans tossed in 13.
Alison Sells just missed double d ig i t s wi th 9 points.
Oke-Tw’sha Roberts and Chelsea Wedlow scored 3 points each and Faith Caldwell tallied 2.
After sweeping three wins last week, the Lady Mus-tangs are hoping to grab two more wins prior to the Christmas vacation. Allen was to play at Roff on Tues-day and will host Calvin on Thursday.

NOSEY NEIGHBOR ALERT! It’s time to get out the binoculars, swing into action, and be especially vig-ilant again about what’s go-ing on in the neighborhood. From what I hear, at least one house in the Atwood area has been burgled. Notice any vehicles you don’t recognize parked at your neighbors, and call them (the neighbors, not the burglars) to verify that all is well. Or call 911 if it seems warranted. Get tag numbers if you can. Not all Grinches are green. There’s nothing like earth-quakes, fog, rain, hail, and a tornado watch to get Okla-homans into the Christmas spirit! The rain is certainly welcome just about any time it comes our way though. It was good to celebrate Christmas with the rest of the community last Sunday eve-ning. Santa, looking quite spiffy in his new suit, came by to distribute gifts to the children. It was good to get together to visit with friends and neighbors, and listen to singers singing praises to the newborn Jesus. There was also lots of good food, with Pat Hammond’s Raspberry Cake “taking the cake” as the star of the dessert table. We certainly appreciate the time and effort it takes to sponsor a party such as this. Charles and Teressa Karch, James Hammonds, Ted and Wyatt Deaton, Lacy and Cadence Cross, Bessie Parker, Ramona Cross, and Santa come to mind right away, but there were many others who contributed food, funds, time, and effort as well. Thank you. Amos Stapp opened the worship service this Sunday by sharing Isaiah 9:6, his class’s Sunday School scrip-ture, with us. The congre-gation sang Christmas car-ols, and James Hammonds sang “Who Is He in Yonder Stall?” as the special music selection. Rev. Karch’s message was from Matthew 25:31-46 and 25:1-13 and was titled “Be-ing Christlike.” The Lord is coming back and will gather the nations before him to separate them as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats. The sheep will be placed on His right. They will in-herit the Kingdom of God because they are God’s chil-dren. Their lives have been changed and patterned on Christ. Like Jesus, they have cared about others and have been willing to help them. They have often given help without even thinking about it. The goats, however, will be placed on the Lord’s left and will be sent to the place of everlasting fire. They have not become children of God, and their lives have not shown a concern for those in need. Those who are children of God are ready for Christ’s re-turn, whether it is at the end of time or if they should die before that time. Those who

aren’t children of God should not wait, thinking there is plenty of time, because when it’s too late, it’s too late. The door, once closed, won’t be opened again. We need to decide what is important in life and get our priorities in line. What comes fi rst, God or some-thing else? Once we have accepted Christ as savior
and know we are children of God, we will then want to help others prepare for the return of Christ too. [I heard a country-west-ern song recently titled “I Wonder What God Wants for Christmas.” It’s certainly something to think about.]

Bulldog center, Johnathan Flowers looks on while Calvin guard Wesley Bain takes aim at another free-throw in the Bulldogs game with Roff. Calvin will play their fi rst game after Christmas break at Mill Creek on January 6th.
Calvin guard Ashley Gillean displays her ball handling skills as she dribbles past a defender in Calvin’s victory over the OSD. Calvin will travel to Allen to play the Mustangs Thursday night.
On Monday, December 8th, the Calvin Bulldogs faced off against OSD (Oklahoma School of the Deaf), set-ting the perfect example of youthful exuberance. The fi ve started off strong, using teamwork to keep the of-fense at bay and keep them from scoring. Their offense was on the shaky side but still able to make their shots, still able to get inside the paint, and still able to follow their shots. The rest of the game followed with exten-sive and strenuous play that eventually paid off. Calvin won, 60-47.
The teams travel to Allen on Thursday for their fi nal game of 2014. When the teams combe back from the Christmas break they will be in the Pittsburg Tourna-ment.
Good luck to both Calvin teams.

The Allen First Baptist Church held their annual Adults Christmas Party this past Saturday evening, December 13th, in the home of Jim and Chris McDonald.
Delicious food and a good time were enjoyed by Myrtle Pyburn, Glenda Ferguson, Ron and Virginia Richardson, Fred and Barbara Barrett, Margaret Johnson, Brenda Allen, Donny and Judy Johnson, Wayne and Pat Bullard, Donnie and Wilda Pipkin, Jearl and Linda Knighten, Wally and Debbie Lewis, Matt McDonald of Dallas, Josh McDonald of Tulsa, Annetta Doyle of Oklahoma City, Kenny and Johnna Shires, Juanita Hamilton, Jeff and Julie Ray, Barbara McPherson, Curt and Jessica Cooper, Chad and Jill Kaminski, and the hosts, Jim and Chris McDonald.
—O&A— Wayne and Pat Bullard traveled up to Tulsa Sunday
morning with Dr. Tim and Lesli Costner to attend a Christmas program at Southern Hills Baptist Church in Tulsa. “A Charley Brown Christmas” production was presented and one of the stars was 5-year-old Francesca Bullard, costumed as a white beagle, who performed both as a dancer and singer. She was a sensation (some thought) and was accompanied by a large troupe of young actors who also did well enough.
Other family attending the gala event were grandparents Ron and Linda Smith, Tyler, Leslie and Elli Smith of Edmond and a few hundred others.
Later, the fan club adjourned to “The Bistro” over on Yale and 101st St. and dined and celebrated the event. Every one had a great time and returned home happy and full.
