The Bath Farmers’ Market opened for the fifth season last Friday under sunny skies and a warm breeze with new and seasoned vendors offer-ing goods to market goers. The Bath Farmers’ Market is one of the few in the Valley that offers a relaxing park set-ting complete with a grill and picnic benches.
For the opening of this monumental season, the Northampton County 4-H came out with some of their prize-winning farm animals including alpacas, chickens, goats, a rabbit and sheep ready for sheering. The orga-nization demonstrated how to sheer a sheep in the grassy park. George Biaer was on hand playing guitar and sing-ing for the opening of the market.

IN HONOR OF SO MANY WHO HAVE The Home NewsSACRIFICED SO MUCH for America's freedom and sovereignty, our offices will be closed on Monday, May 27th as we observe Memorial Day. Joining with the rest of our great nation, we salute the men, women and families of our country's armed forces. They are patriots of all we hold dear. We're forever thankful for their service and count ourselves truly fortunate to live in the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE.
As the weather warms up and spring is in the air, the days get longer the end of the school year draws closer, it also means it is that special time of year where we pay tribute and honor those fallen men and women as we celebrate
the upcoming Memo-rial Day Weekend.
Once again Brian Radcliffe of Eckley E. Patch Post 470 Amer-ican Legion, Bath would like to thank the members of Cub Pack 43, Boy Scout Troop 43 and Venture Crew 470 who came out last week
and helped replace the flags on fallen veterans grave markers, easily identifying those who have served this great nation. These bright new flags will remain in place, proudly flying over the graves of the hometown heroes, un-til after the Veterans
Honoring our Veterans Day holiday in Novem-ber, when they will be removed and ceremoni-ously retired next Flag Day.
If you have a fam-ily member or a friend buried in one of the five cemeteries in Bath or Chapman Quarries, and you noticed the grave marker is miss-ing or damaged or if a flag was missed, please contact Brian Radcliffe through the American Legion Post, 610-837-8337. Please be sure to
leave your name and phone number so he may return your call and get your informa-tion to have your loved one’s grave properly marked.
Happy Memorial Day, and let us not forget those who have served, those currently serving and all those still miss-ing, until they can all be brought home and returned to their fami-lies. God Bless and God Bless our troops and all of our veterans.
It was nice to see all the participants in last week’s paper who were in the 5K race/walk that the Bath Busi-ness & Community Partner-ship sponsored. They all had lots of smiles, so it showed they had a great time. . . .The farmers market, also a BBCP product, had their opening down at the park along Green & Race Streets on Friday. Looks like they’ll have plenty to offer again this spring and summer. . . .No mention of the solar systems at two local schools on Monday night’s school board meeting, so I reckon they’ll be glad to get the savings on electricity for 20 years once it happens that solar panels are installed. . . . Hats off to Tim Herd for win-ning an award from the Penn-sylvania Outdoor Writers for his new book on tapping sil-ver maple trees for syrup. . . .
There was an interesting arti-cle in the paper on honey, too. Herb Silfies would appreciate that, finding out that honey has its benefits. . . . Tuesday was primary election day, and there were lots of races for school director, county ex-ecutive, county council, judge, mayors, town council people and township supervisors. Hopefully, there was a good turn-out of voters. . . .Look-ing over the sports page, I see that the Northampton County Junior Conservation School is signing up kids 14-17 years old to be students this July 14 to 21. They’ve been putting on an excellent program over the years, I’m told, so Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, sign ‘em up!! . . . . Kreidersville Covered Bridge folks are look-ing forward to another big family celebration come Sat-urday, June 1st that includes

Grow Ur Biz“Shark Weak”
By CAROL RITTERIf you own a
business, I in-sist you watch Shark Tank on Friday night at 8 p.m. This amazing show hosts the worlds most famous investors. Barbara Corcoran, a real-estate mogul, Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Robert Herjavec, founder of 125 million dollar technology company, Day-mon John, creator of global fashion brand FUBU, Lori Greiner, the Queen of QVC, and the villain Kevin O’Leary, chairman of O’Leary Funds. The purpose of the show is to help struggling entrepre-neurs with money, connec-tions and mentorship. Each week a number of wanna-be’s show up for their once in a lifetime opportunity to “GROW UR BIZ.”
The wanna-be’s walk, run, jump into the ‘tank’ and present their pizzazz. The SHARKS begin the drill, how many have you sold, what is your market, how much does it cost you to make, is there a patent pending and how much money of your own have you invested. Their an-swers have everything to do with whether or not they will get a deal.
How about you? Are you SHARK STRONG or SHARK WEAK? Can you answer the questions above and would these SHARKS be interested in your biz? What’s your piz-zazz, your WOW factor?
As a small business owner recently said to me, “business is so slow.” I offered sugges-tions, he had little response. Summer is approaching, the SHARKS are ready to attack, if your biz is SHARK WEAK you may want to consider a jump into the SHARK TANK
Take more time to network, get out of the office
Hold events at your biz -
bring people in Hold customer apprecia-
tion days - give something away
Promote your pizzaz, up your marketing 50%
Join a “Mastermind Group” for idea sharing and problem solving
BTW, Lori Greiner, QVC, recently paid $150,000 for 65% stake in ReadeRest, a mag-netic reading-glasses holder. The end of the story is 3.5 million in sales on QVC and climbing.
This wanna-be entre-preneur is now SHARK STRONG, how about you?

By Pete FritchieFOOTBALL✷ ✷ ✷As spring football practice
games come to an end one has been impressed with the popularity of so many games--not conference games, only practice games.
While we were seeing Ma-jor League baseball games--not practice games--being played before stadiums per-haps a tenth full we were see-ing practice football games
played before packed stadi-ums.That raises the question whether professional football should schedule a greater number of games per season. To do that, attention would need to be given to the large number of serious injuries--some attention is already be-ing devoted to this.
Instead of the regular sea-son lasting from September to the end of the year would fans (and owners) like the regular season to last through January? There’s no baseball until April, and this would leave enough time for the playoffs and Superbowl. It would bring in even more money, some of which could be used to treat injuries over long periods.

Springtime Alert: Do Not Disturb Young Wildlife
The leaves are green, the flowers are in bloom and, once again, it’s that time of year when a new generation of wildlife is making its ar-rival.
And it’s almost a certain-ty that Pennsylvanians will encounter young wildlife, whether it be in their back-yards or high on a mountain.
“Being outdoors in the spring is an enjoyable way to spend time and learn more about nature,” said Calvin W. DuBrock, who directs the Pennsylvania Game Com-mission’s Bureau of Wildlife Management. “Whether en-joying your backyard or hik-ing in the woods, it is time for our annual message for Pennsylvanians to leave wild-life alone and in the wild, es-pecially young of the year.”
DuBrock said that in the coming days and weeks, Pennsylvanians could find young deer, rabbits, birds, raccoons or other wildlife, some of which might appear to be abandoned.
“Rest assured that in most cases, the young animal is not an orphan or abandoned and the best thing you can do is to leave it alone,” DuBrock advised.
DuBrock noted adult ani-mals often leave their young while the adults forage for food. Also, wildlife often re-lies on a natural defensive
tactic called the “hider strat-egy,” where young animals will remain motionless and “hide” in surrounding cover while adults draw the atten-tion of potential predators or other intruders away from their young.
“While it may appear as if the adults are abandoning their young, in reality, this is just the animal using its natural instincts to protect its young,” DuBrock said. “Also, young animals often have camouflaging color patterns to avoid being detected by predators.
“Wild animals are not meant to be pets, and we must all resist our well-meaning and well-intentioned urge to want to care for wildlife. Tak-ing wildlife from its natural settings and into your home may expose or transmit wild-life diseases to people or do-mestic animals. Wildlife also may carry parasites – such as fleas, ticks or lice – that you wouldn’t want infesting you, your family, your home or your pets.”
DuBrock noted that, each year, people ignore this ad-vice by taking wildlife into their homes and then are urged to undergo treatment for possible exposure to vari-ous wildlife-borne diseases, such as rabies.
In addition to protecting public health, Game Com-mission Bureau of Wildlife Protection Director Rich Palmer said that the agency also is concerned with wild-life implications from hu-mans handling wildlife.
“Habituating wildlife to humans is a serious concern, because if wildlife loses its natural fear of humans it can pose a public safety risk,” Palmer said. “For example, a few years ago, a yearling, six-point buck attacked and severely injured two people. Our investigation revealed that a neighboring family had illegally taken the deer into their home and fed it as a fawn. This family continued to feed the deer right up until the time of the attack.
“This particular incident was the subject of numer-ous news stories around the state, and serves as a fitting example of the possible con-sequences that can stem from feeding or simply getting too close to wildlife.”
In addition, Palmer noted that it is illegal to take or pos-
sess wildlife from the wild. Under state law, the penalty for such a violation is a fine of up to $1,500 per animal.
“Under no circumstances will anyone who illegally takes wildlife into captivity be allowed to keep that animal,” Palmer said. “While residents love to view wildlife and are very compassionate, they must enjoy wildlife from a distance and allow nature to run its course.”
Palmer also pointed out that, under a working agree-ment with state health of-ficials, any “high risk” rabies vector species confiscated after human contact must be euthanized and tested; it can-not be returned to the wild. Though any mammal may carry rabies, species identi-fied in the agreement are: skunks, raccoons, foxes, bats, coyotes and groundhogs.
“Except for some species of bats, populations of all other rabies vector species are thriving,” Palmer said. “Therefore, to protect pub-lic health and safety, it only makes sense to put down an animal for testing, rather than risk relocating a potentially rabid animal, and to answer the question of whether any people were exposed to the rabies virus.”
DuBrock said it is always wise to avoid wild animals and even unfamiliar domestic pets because of the potential rabies risk.
“Animals infected with ra-bies may not show obvious symptoms, but still may be able to transmit the disease,” DuBrock said.
People can get rabies from the saliva of a rabid animal if they are bitten or scratched, or if the saliva gets into the person’s eyes, mouth or a fresh wound. The last human rabies fatality in Pennsylvania was a 12-year-old Lycoming County boy who died in 1984.
Wildlife rehabilitators, who are licensed by the Game Commission, are the only ones who are permit-ted to care for injured or orphaned wildlife for the purposes of even-tual release back into the wild. For those who find wildlife that truly is in need of assistance, a listing of licensed wildlife rehabilitators can be found on the Pennsylvania As-sociation of Wildlife Rehabilitators website (www.pawr.com).
If you are unable to identify a wildlife rehabilitator in your area, contact the Game Commission re-gion office that serves the county in which the animal is found so that you can be referred to the appro-priate licensed wildlife rehabilita-tor.

Council takes drivewayPlan under advisement
By BILL HALBFOERSTERThe Home News
Although turned down earlier by the Northampton Zoning Hearing Board for an office to be located at 550 Howertown Road, Wayne Krapf of 2279 Yost Rd., Bath, appealed to Northampton Borough Council on Thurs-day for permission to have a turn-around driveway at the same location for residents there.
Council President John Yurish, after some discussion by Council, said the issue will be taken under advisement and put it on the agenda for the June 6 meeting.
The problem? Howertown Road had been re-paved recently, and the borough doesn’t want it cut up, Boro Manager Gene Zarayko not-ed that this has happened in the past with UGI and newly paved Main Street.
Krapf said he would move the curb back, cut the black-top and re-do the paving at his expense. Council-man Robert McHale said he should have consulted Public Works earlier because of all the money spent on the road re-paving.
Krapf said the turn-around driveway would be easier than backing vehicles out on the heavily traveled road.
Other Matters• Dave Ingram of 2156 Lin-
coln Ave. asked for permis-sion to block off an alley near B.V.M. Church for a gradua-
tion party on June 9 from 3 to 9 p.m. It was approved.
• Donna Persing of New-port Ave. said an event is planned for July 13 and she was worried about dogs leav-ing behind excrement. Signs are being posted by the bor-ough about dogs and no al-cohol, open fires or grilles. In addition, police patrol the park area.
• Richard Norman of Ca-tasauqua asked for permis-sion for a benefit motorcycle event that could take more than 300 motorcyclists over a route that starts at Tri-Boro Sportsmen, up Laubach Ave. and on Rt. 329 to Howertown Rd. Funds would be raised to help pay for the medical bills for one-year-old Mike Csencsits. Norman said this is the fourth year for such a family-oriented ride. Permis-sion was given.
• The Quota Club was also okayed to have their annual yard sale on June 8 at Canal St. Park. The rain date is June 9.

The 7th annual Together for Derek 5K walk/run will be held this Saturday at the Naz-areth Area Middle School. Registration begins at 8 a.m., the 5k run begins at 9 a.m., and the non-competitive walk begins at 9:05 a.m.
Derek lost his battle to Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) in October 2006. LMS is a rare form of cancer that spreads through the blood stream and can affect the lungs, liver, blood vessels or any other soft tissue in the body. Presently there is no cure, only remis-sion if it can be attained. LMS can reappear anywhere in the body at anytime. There is so much unknown about this disease, which is what makes this fundraising effort so im-portant. The Together for Der-
ek 5k Run/Walk allows the community to gather and re-member a dear friend, while raising awareness and funds to research treatments and potentially a cure for LMS. By supporting this initiative, you're not only increasing funds for research, but also showing that one more per-son knows about this disease, and one more person wants to contribute to fighting it.
The first 100 on-site reg-istrants will receive a free t-shirt and goody bad (as avail-able).
Donations are also ac-cepted. If you're interested in making a donation, please message [email protected] and someone will get you in touch with Christina Wise for more information.

Public gives Architect their
Ideas for new pool About 25 residents came to
Nazareth Borough’s munici-pal Building this past week to offer some ideas on what they’d like to see when a new swimming pool is construct-ed in the next couple of years.
Wallover Architects, a firm from the Lancaster area that specializes in engineering and designs for swimming pools, has been hired by Nazareth Borough to do just that.
Ted and Susan Wallover gave the presentation, and listened as local residents listed some of the things they hope will be incorporated in the structure when a new pool will replace the 75-year-old pool that has been shut down because of cracks in the concrete, and a filtration sys-tem that no longer could be used, along with a bathhouse which also has problems.
Wallover first came to Council’s workshop meeting on May 3 and showed a large number of slides depicting how the WPA-built pool has outlived its usefulness, as well as not meeting today’s standardized codes for per-sons with disabilities. He also said the present pool is twice the size it should be for a town the size of Nazareth.
It’s estimated that a new pool and bathhouse will cost in the neighborhood of $5-million.
In this latest presentation the Wallovers asked for pub-lic input on the size of the pool, and what they believe would be most appropri-ate for young people to en-joy during the summertime. Among ideas was a climb-ing wall, floatables, water cannons, and water slides, something like Wildwater Kingdom, and restoration of diving boards. A few resi-dents even think the design should include some of Naz-
areth’s history, noting the sig-nificance of Martin Guitar in the borough.
A new filtration system is in storage, awaiting the new pool, since it was not possible to use with the old pipes.
There won’t be a pool for 2013 or 2014, most likely not until 2015, but in the mean-time, meetings will be held to come up with designs that will make most residents happy and create good attendance during the summer months.

Mayor Tom Reenock and Borough Manager Gene Za-rayko were the 59th and 60th recipients of the Northamp-ton Exchange Club Golden Deeds Award on May 15.
Both men have led exem-plary lives, not only in and for the community of Northamp-ton but also in helping others.
Joan Marinkovits recom-mended Mayor Reenock for the honor. She spoke highly of his willingness to help oth-ers without regard for recog-nition. Here is what she had to say:
TOM REENOCK“I know every year you
nominate someone for the Golden Deeds Award. My understanding is it is for someone who goes above and beyond what the average citizen would do. Thomas Re-enock is one of those people. He has been a godsend to my husband Walt and my-self. Walt is now at Whitehall Manor. As you know, he has Parkinsonism and it has tak-en a toll on his body.
Walt’s buddy is Larry Mill-er who was a member of the Exchange at one time. Lar-ry is legally blind. Tom has taken Larry to visit Walt to Whitehall Manor to visit my husband and brought him to our home as well when Walt was at home. These vis-its meant a lot to Walt and me. Larry Miller would have
been lost without Tom. . Tom has taken Larry to Wills Eye in Philadelphia and Doctors in the Poconos looking for any avenue to save his sight. Recently Tom got a phone call from Larry’s sister who lives in New York. She was very concerned she could not reach Larry. Tom went to his house and found Larry on the floor. He had a stroke.
Al Recker, writer for the Northampton Press and member of the Exchange Club, has Tom to thank for his life as it is today. Al was having health problems and didn’t want to go to the doctor. Tom went ahead and made him an appointment and took him to the doctor.. He then took him to the hospital and got there just in time. Al was having a stroke. He got the medicine he needed and it thwarted off the stroke.
I know he has helped other people, but he doesn’t talk about it, he just does it. He was also involved with the Veterans Memorial through the planning stages down to the actual physical work. I am pretty sure the electrical work he did he did for free and he was doing this with two bad knees.
If anyone deserves the Golden Deed Award in 2013 it is Thomas Reenock. The things he does are not re-quired of him as Mayor, they
Mayor Reenock, Gene Zarayko Receive Golden Deed awards
come straight from the heart.”GENE ZARAYKO
LeRoy Brobst recommend-ed Mr. Zarayko for the Golden Deed award, noting his love for the Borough of Northamp-ton and his attention to detail that help make the Borough the great place is it. Here is what he had to say:
“Gene Zarayko was hired as the Borough Manger of Northampton March 21, 1986. During that time he has brought the innovative style of his leadership to the fore-front and the Borough has prospered and grown to be one of the lading communi-ties in the Lehigh Valley.
His accomplishments have been made possible by a dy-namic and progressive group of individuals who serve on Borough Council, but many of the idea and concepts that make him unique have come from a deep desire to see the Borough as an icon of lo-cal government. He is a very humble man and he is quick to praise others and share plaudits with them. No one would ever consider him to be self-serving.
During his tenure the Bor-ough completely updated and modernized the wastewater treatment plant in 1991, began and completed construction of a new Public Works garage, a new Central Fire Station and a new Borough complex
and remodeled Police Station, including the acclaimed Atlas Cement Company Memorial Museum and Northampton Recreation Centre.
These, however, are not the things that make him remark-able. His love for the Borough of Northampton is a driving force. To call him a workahol-ic is not enough, for his door is always open, ready to listen to any and all. His workday does not end at 4:30 when the office closes. He travels the Borough in the evening, not-ing burned out streetlights, pot holes, poor conditions of parks, traffic patterns…. The list has no end. No detail is too small to be overlooked and he does not let his po-sition as a leader keep him from remembering that he is also a servant.
Each of his predecessors has good and book quali-ties, but none had the tireless dedication that borders on an obsession with progress. As an example, the Public Works Department toyed with the idea of off-season street dec-orations. Many managers would have scoffed at the con-cept as time consuming waste. But Gene supported the proj-ect and now, Northampton is widely known as the town that is “well lit.” No leader is worth much if he turns a deaf ear to people who would offer input. Gene has been willing
to allow fresh thinking and it has come back to honor him and the people who are proud to work with him. His desire to succeed is contagious and the result is progress.
While he has worked to keep taxes in check, he has found it necessary on very few occasions, to ask Council for a tax increase. He constantly monitors expenses, not just the large expenditures, but all disbursements. When he first began one of his initial “sav-ings” was by buying cheaper toilet paper. My first reaction was “BIG DEAL!” but I have since bought into this line of thinking. He recognized the responsibility of protect-ing the funds that are avail-able and the results speak for themselves.
I do not lavish praise unless it is warranted. Gene allowed me the opportunity to move from the Public Works De-partment into the office and I will always be grateful. It has offered me a chance to expand my life and I try to mirror his example. I consider myself blessed by association and ap-plaud his consideration as a recipient of the Golden Dees award.”
Brobst and Ed Pany were speakers at the banquet. The awards were presented by Exchange President Kim Bel-letti and Rep. Julie Harhart presented each with a citation from the Pa. House of Repre-sentatives.

Cool Summer Workout Tips From TOPS
Early summer weather can provide the ultimate mo-tivation to get outside and be active. The sun is shin-ing, nature is in full blossom, and coats and earmuffs are no longer essential. Summer can give people a certain zest for fitness, but sometimes temperatures can turn good intentions into a swelter-ing mess. Incorporating new habits and precautions into your warm weather workouts can keep you safe, motivated, and cool. TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, offers the following tips to make the most of your summer fitness plans:
1. Fill up on fruitWater-heavy fruits - like
watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and grapes - are a great way to boost energy and replenish fluids lost after a workout. Containing more than 80 percent water, these fruits are easily digestible in the summer heat and are a tasty way to keep hydrated and satisfied. Eating them frozen also makes a refresh-ing summer treat.
2. Reroute for optimal shade
If your usual running, walk-ing, or cycling route makes you an easy target for sun exposure, opt for a shadier course. Road Runners Club of America features running routes around the country on their website,www.rrca.org. Weather.com also offers local parks’ forecasts and a fitness comfort index by the hour - ideal for determining the best time of day to exercise.
3. Take the path less pavedWalking, running, or cy-
cling on dirt or gravel paths can keep the body signifi-cantly cooler than paved paths. Asphalt and concrete tend to radiate heat and re-flect the sun’s rays, making you feel hotter. Running near bodies of water also has a no-ticeable cooling effect.

God Changed Me!When I was 15, God totally changed my life! As a visiting minister laid his
hand on me and prayed, I felt the glory of God! A deep longing to know Godwas ignited that led to my life-changing experience.
I was raised in a Christian home but had become rebellious and had a horren-dous, uncontrollable temper. After that touch of God, I wanted more of Himand began to seek Him in prayer and Bible reading. Several months later myfather’s unexpected death jolted me into the realization of my inner need ofGod’s power. That night I attended revival services in Kankakee, IL and earnest-ly prayed at the altar. As my soul cried out and longed for more of God, Idetermined to receive all God had for me regardless of the cost! That’s whenHe revealed to me that I had made playing chess an idol. I had loved chessand spent many hours playing it, but that night I told the Lord that I would burnmy set and I did.
The next evening I returned to seek Jesus who said, “If any man thirst, lethim come unto me and drink” (John 7:37). I stayed to seek Him in the all-nightprayer meeting. About 2 a.m. I was intently praying at the altar when my pastorsaw a vision of Jesus standing in front of me with His hands outstretched.As my pastor laid hands on me and prayed, I experienced what felt like a burn-ing ball of fire within my chest rising upward! Suddenly I was filled with heav-enly ecstasy and began to speak in other tongues just as the followers ofChrist did in Acts 2:4. That morning the Holy Spirit became my “Comforter”(John 14:16) and completely changed my life! My previously uncontrollabletemper was gone! I had received the “Promise of the Father” (Acts 1:4), andhad new power to live the Christian life! Acts 2:39 states, “the promise isunto you and to your children, and to all!” See scriptures on the Holy GhostBaptism and more details of my experience at: www.naog.ws/thirsty.htm

When Life Isn’t Fair Psalm 73:1-28
Many times, we as humans lose our perspective of re-ality and say to ourselves: Life isn’t fair. We look around and see many nonbelievers seem to experience more bless-ings than we do. In Psalm 73 we can see God’s playbook on what to do when we feel this way. This Psalm was written by a man named Asaph, who served as the worship leader in the temple and was the author of 12 different Psalms. Yet he was ready to walk away from God because his per-ception was all mixed up and he felt like life wasn’t fair. He wraps up his theological conclusion in Vs. 1, “Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.” This is a premise he is stating for believers that no matter what hap-pens God is good. If this is true shouldn’t we at least have more blessings than those who don’t care about God? To understand this we need to take a look at two perspectives.
First Is the Human Perspective. We see that in the first half of the Psalm Asaph is bothered by what he had been taught in Scripture because what he had experienced in life was radically different. He came close to losing his confidence in God’s goodness because of four things that he saw around him. In Vs. 1-16 he sees the prosperity of the wicked, the peace of the wicked, the pride of the wick-ed, and the self-pity of the righteous. Read these verses and you will see that Asaph was jealous of the wicked and wondered why would the wicked have everything that was promised only to God’s covenant people?
He tells us that the wicked are the very people who are many times the most prosperous and are the most ar-rogant because they think so highly of themselves. Their pride makes them look down on God and His people. So, sometimes we wonder if it’s worth it to follow Christ. Why should we live for Christ when others are doing al-right without Him? He goes on to the end of Vs. 16 talking about how he may be wasting his life and has doubts that he keeps to himself.
Second Is The Heavenly Perspective. As we come to Vs. 17 we see a noticeable shift in Asaph’s paradigm as he goes through a reality check. This verse is the hinge point of the Psalm and says, “Till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood the whole picture.” It’s when we go into the presence of God that we can get the right perspective. If we don’t gaze to God, we will default to our human per-spective and end up becoming jealous and bitter. It’s only in the sanctuary of God that Asaph could understand the predicament of the wicked and the sweetness of God’s grace and mercy in his own life.
From Vs. 18 to the end of the Psalm we look at life through the eyes of eternity and will see four things. The ruin of the wicked, repentance of the righteous, the re-wards of the righteous, and the responsibility of believ-ers. When the judgment of God comes unbelievers will be wiped out. My friend’s judgment is real and we shouldn’t try to sugar coat the awful truth of eternal punishment. It’s when Asaph confesses that he was bitter, senseless, and ignorant that he immediately knows that God was always holding him up. The question we have to ask is: are we satisfied with God?
He concludes the Psalm by fulfilling two key respon-sibilities that every believer should fulfill in Vs. 28, “But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sover-eign LORD my refuge…” Stay near to God and tell others about God. My friends, once we see the destruction of the wicked we too will no longer be able to crave in but will speak out. Think of people that you know in your family, where you work, neighbors, and friends that don’t know Jesus. Are you attracted to their lifestyle? Want their toys? Ask yourself this: Where will they be when the finality of God’s judgment lands on them with a thud? These are the ones we need to rescue.
Yes, life isn’t fair sometimes, but when our perspec-tive is heavenly we won’t be able to be quiet. People need to know about Jesus……about the Good News…that Jesus died in our place, as our substitute on the Cross, so that we don’t have to pay the price for our sins by spending eter-nity in hell. So…don’t bail on God. Draw near to Him and allow Him to reframe your reality.

Know The WeatherCan you expect to be hearing thunder and
lightning soon? Why do we seldom have thunderheads and thunderstorms in the winter? You will soon be hearing the familiar thunder and lightning of spring, if you have not already heard the first rumbles of thunder in the deep south.The longer days of sunlight and greater heating result from
the position of the earth. In the coming months this causes hot air to rise from thunderheads. The greater heat and greater volume of rising, warmed air causes higher clouds.Thunder results from the transfer of electrical overcharges
as the natural balance is restored by lightning strikes. Thun-der is the roar created by these electrical discharges just as a big gun causes its own miniature thunder at the instance of firing.
