Seasons of My Life
by Clydene Overbey My life has been simple. No fanfare, no big accomplishments. Im not famous or rich or beautiful. I never made a movie or sang on stage. Im just me, a simple country girl that grew up in the south. I ran barefoot up dirt roads and through green pastures. I had great parents who taught me right from wrong, then trusted that I would be as they raised me. I became a born again Christian when I was 10 years old. God guided my parents life and He has guided mine. Ive never had much, never wanted much. Ive had friends who betrayed me, but more friends that didnt. I was a skinny girl, now Im a slightly overweight lady. I draw on my beautiful memories to get me through a bad time. Sometimes I get very homesick for my childhood. My childhood was happy. I was protected from the harshness of the world, but at the same time I was taught what I would need to survive in it on my own. If you think about it, life has four seasons, not only in reality, but also in our bodies. Spring is when we are fresh and new, busting forth in full bloom with rosy cheeks, dimples and little pink behinds. In the spring everything is refreshed after lying dormant as we had done in our mothers womb waiting to come alive in the world. Everything is sweet smelling, lots of smiles of adoration. Its when we need protectors like a soft new blossom that must withstand the ravages of weather and trampling feet. Our parents are our protectors. Nourishing and watching us as we grow. The very best times were in the springtime of my life. Summer is a bit harsher, but still a time of beauty and freshness. Still tender plants must withstand the hot harshness as they learn that everyone is not tolerant of fresh sweetness and new life. It is hot and sticky and our tender leafs sometimes wither and fall off by the wayside lying there in the hot dust to die, a time of learning the realities of a not so tender and green plant, a time when we must learn to rely on ourselves more. We still have some protection, but we are urged to let go some and face more of the hard facts with our tender faces lifted up to the sunshine, sometimes to sting from the harsh rays. We are moving on through life and we are learning that not all is beautiful and sweet and tender to us. That young spring bud has burst forth in bloom and must withstand harsh realities that they never knew existed in their springtime. It is not as easy as before, but they have been prepared in the spring for what must come now. Fall is another time of learning as we prepare for the coming dormant time. We are full grown. We have withstood the harsh summer and the air becomes crisp and nippy. We sometimes droop our heads wishing to again see the fresh springtime of our lives when things were easy and beautiful, loving and tender. No more are we beautiful and young, but things along the way may have caused blemishes and flaws in our appearance. We now weep more, our leaves falter and trying to regain some dignity we strive toward the sun to remain warm and lively. We dont feel the gentle touches and love that was there in our first days of spring. Yet we feel the same inside, still feeling young and vibrant only in a mature way. Our faces are sometimes drawn and wrinkled from the harsh rays of life. Inside we feel young, but we realize that winter is coming and we cant slow time. Everything has a season of slowing down and contemplating what has come before. Of course, looking on our past mistakes and failings and wondering why. With winter approaching faster now we feel the need to hurry and slow down at the same time, a confused feeling of anticipation, wonder, and knowing. We dont know when the dormant season will come, but we are ready in our hearts. We can now relax and once again enjoy the beauty around us as our foliage brightens in to splendor, to glow and preen once again. The air is once again vibrant fresh and glorious. I love fall as I reflect on my spring. I have come almost full circle now. I am ready for my winter though I dont really want it to hurry. I still have things to do so that I can leave behind something of beauty and newness for the spring once again. I am in my winter now. I have endured. I have survived. I have led a full life that I was prepared for in my spring. My winter may be a long hard one or a short easy one. I dont know and neither do I ask. When winter ends and spring once again bursts forth I will again be in the beautiful, fresh, vibrancies of a new spring. Once again I will have warm loving arms to rest in and my second spring will never end. I have reached what I have striven for all the four seasons of my life, but not quite accomplishing. I am in a new home. All my loved ones that have also come full circle will be there once again with me in our

Human Services program explained

Program presenter at the Feb. 3 meeting of the Altus Sunset Rotary Club was member Lynn Washington, who discussed the Human Services program which she directs at Arkansas Tech University/Ozark Campus. Washington said the program was started in response to an interest group meeting in 2012 with a number of human service organizations as to the need for training at entry level. According to Washington, she was hired to develop the curriculum and teach the program, having worked as a Heavenly Home with God. We will hear God say, Well done, my faithful servant. You have done well. Welcome home! I will enjoy my winter and hope for a long painless one as I quietly reflect on all four of my seasons. Winter is the longest hardest season of my life, but I will endure with Gods love. God Bless you all who read this. Cherish each day as if it were your very last. Not everyone has as long a life. Some only have a short time to fulfill Gods purpose. Whatever season you are in now, please enjoy and make the most of it. 1 John 5:4 - For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith. licensed professional counselor most recently with Western Arkansas Counseling and Guidance Center. Washington said there are 12 students in the first graduating class who are currently interning at sites from Rogers to Dardanelle to Fort Smith, including Cass Job Corps, and she is still setting up internships. In a brief classification talk following her program, Washington said she grew up on a cattle ranch in West Texas and northeast Oklahoma, entered college on a piano scholarship and went on to receive a masters degree. She lives near Altus with her husband, Steve, who is employed as a counselor at Bost. Also during the meeting, Steve Outlaw was congratulated on his selection as winner of the Ozark Area Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award, and Veronica Post presented the club with an exchange banner received from the Lodi, Calif., Rotary Club. *** 52.7%: The overall percentage of people 15 and older who reported being married.

LET THE BIBLE SPEAK

by John Brasseaux Question: I have lost all interest in spiritual matters. Could it be that I have committed the unpardonable sin? Answer: The fact that you are inquiring regarding a spiritual matter suggests you maintain some spiritual sensitivity. Your concern about possibly having committed the unpardonable sin is a strong indication you havent. Much misunderstanding surrounds Jesus statement concerning the unpardonable sin: He that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation (Mk. 3:29). Jesus had healed an individual possessed with a devil, which had left him blind and unable to speak (Mt. 12:22). The religious leaders accused Jesus of doing this miracle by the power of Satan, thus saying that Jesus Himself had an unclean spirit. To attribute what Jesus did by the power of the Holy Spirit to an unclean spirit or Beelzebub, constituted blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Mk. 3:30). Such was a sin which would not be forgiven. No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:3). Jesus performed miracles by the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38). The miracles were to produce faith in Jesus as the Son of God, resulting in eternal life (Jo. 20:3031). Have you attributed the miracles of Jesus to the devil? If you havent, then you arent guilty of the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the sin without forgiveness. The root cause of your problem comes from something else, quite possibly some other sin. Sin can leave us listless (Ps. 32:3-4). Upon examination of conscience, repentance and confession may be in order (Ps. 32:5; 1 Jo. 1:9). Ask God to restore to you the joy of His salvation (Ps. 51:12). Being certain that you are saved should be a number one priority. Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith: prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? (2 Cor. 13:5). Have you: (1) Believed that Jesus is the Son of God? (2) Have you repented of your sins? (3) Have you confessed Jesus as Lord? (4) Have you been baptized for the remission of sins? (Jo. 8:24; Lk. 13:3; Mt. 10:32-32; Jo. 3:5; Acts 2:38). Prayer (Ps. 51:12), a reading of Gods Word (Acts 20:32) and worship (Heb. 10:22-25) help us renew our spiritual zeal.

Until The End Of Time

(Genesis 1:1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (John 1 of Heb. 1:10, of Psalm 33:9 out of John 3:36 with Acts 3:12, to Daniel 2:30 and Gen. 41:16 of 2 Cor. 3:5-6, with Psalm 113:7, out of Matt. 24:31 and of Job 36, to Gal. 4:27 of Isaiah 54 and Exodus 15:20 with Psalm 99, of Luke 2:36 to 2 Timothy 2 and Revelation.) Opinion, Genesis is the most wonderful book of the Bible. The start of everything is found here, the first promise and the first lie, the reason for and the why of it, to whom and when. I did miss coming here. Its always wise to begin the thing at the first, and it has been a long trip through these pages to finally reach here, and a most wild trip to say the least What things I remember. An old friend of Dans becoming mad because I quoted from Genesis. How Adam and Eve picked leaves from a tree and made aprons of fig leaves and you get figs if you get fig leaves from that tree. And of the stranger my teacher brought to visit after he showed him some letters I had wrote to him. And while using the parable of the talants to explain what I try to show my teacher what I believe I understood, he was sure I was trying to tell him how to teach and what to teach. Nothing I could say or do to change his mind. Well, Ive reached the limit Ive set, so if the Lord is willing Ill write more later. Be sure to read for yourself, study and get ready. Tomorrow is the one thing that never arrives and the word of God never changes. Stand on it. Your sister in my faith and hope in Jesus, the Son of God and Lord of all, to God be the praise. In Jesus, Pat Singleton
