By: Mark Mercer THE VILLAGE REPORTER STRYKER: March 18, 2014-The Stryker High School Chapter of the National Honor Society held their annual meeting on March 18, welcoming six new members to the Stryker Chapter. The students selected for the Stryker High School, 2014 induction are: Seniors Megan Neville and Kyle Rohrs; Juniors Amy Chappuis, Zach Tingley, Tanner Clingaman and Katie Yoder. The National Honor Society was established in 1921 and is the Nations premier organization established to recognize outstanding high schools students who demonstrate excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service and character. According to the National Honor Societies website (www.nhs.us), four main purposes have guided the chapters of the NHS from the beginning: to create enthusiasm for scholarship; to stimulate a desire to render service; to promote leadership; and to develop character in the students of secondary schools. These purposes also are used by chapters as established criteria for membership selection into each local chapter. At Stryker High School Katie Jimenez serves as the NHS Advisor and is assisted in her duties by faculty members Melanie Baldwin, Shane Marshall, Donneen Dyess, Mike Donovan, and Principal David Schultz. Using the criteria set forth above, Katie Jimenez and her committee reviewed this years candidates by closely scrutinizing each students overall record and by comparing the students achievements in the four categories set forth by the NHS. Each category is explained as follows: Scholarship represents the academic component of National Honor Society induction requirements. The national organization recommends a B average, meaning an 85 percent on a 100-point scale or a 3.0 on a 4.0 grade point average scale. However, the faculty advisers at each school can choose higher scholarship standards. The scholarship portion of the NHS requirements is the first cut for applicants; faculty will not consider any student who does not meet these academic requirements. National Honor Society hopefuls must also demonstrate service to the school, their church or community to join the organization. Students can showcase this service experience by participating in individual service projects after
Fayette Chamber Of Commerce Plans Numerous Summer Events
school or on weekends. Students interested in joining the National Honor Society must demonstrate leadership capabilities as well. They can show leadership by earning roles as captains of sports teams or executive councils of clubs. According to the National Honor Society website, leadership also includes the ability to solve problems, contribute ideas, and be resourceful. Students can look beyond school extracurricular activities for leadership opportunities and find them in their community. Students also must demonstrate a strong character to be inducted into the National Honor Society. They can display their character by following school rules and staying out of trouble. A NHS inductee can further show strong character by demonstrating honesty, reliability, courtesy, and respect; students should demonstrate a teachable spirit and a genuine interest to learn and grow. The 2014 inductees join Stryker Seniors Dean Beamont, Kristie Huston, Conner Varner, Conner Sullivan, Ruthann Stuckey, Bailey Short, and comprise the current active student members of the Stryker Chapter of the National Honor Society.

Edon Village Council Approves Income Tax Allocation Ordinance

By: Lucinda Held-Faulhaber THE VILLAGE REPORTER Moving forward from last months discussion, Edon Village Council voted to suspend the three-reading rule and approve Ordinance 02-14, Allocation of Income Tax Funds, during its regular monthly meeting held Monday, March 17, 2014 in Council Chambers. In attendance for the evening session were Councilors Roxana Nester, Lee Lawrence, Duane Thiel, Richard Chapin, Chuck Bidwell, Gale Horn, Mayor Darlene Burkhardt, Fiscal Officer Heidi Bidwell, Solicitor Tom Thompson and one guest. This past January, Fiscal Officer Bidwell requested Council to consider redoing Ordinance 181.09: Disbursement of Income Tax Funds beginning with the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2014. As she noted, collected income tax disbursements were currently allocated at 80.34 percent to the General Fund; 11.33 percent to Sanitary Sewer and 8.33 percent to Capital Outlay. With the Villages last sanitary sewer loan payment expected in July, future allotments to the department could be eliminated and percentages to General and Capital Outlay Funds be adjusted accordingly. Upon concluding their final review of the amended Ordinance prepared by Solicitor Thompson, Council approved repealing existing Section 181.09 of the Codified Ordinances of Edon, Ohio and enacting Section 181.09 of the Codified Ordinances of Edon, Ohio regarding the allocation of the original one percent income tax and declaring an emergency. Effective April 1, 2014, Ordinance 02-14, now allocates 97.5 percent of all income tax receipts (received from the original one percent income tax) to the General Fund to be used for any lawful purposes and the remaining 2.5 percent to be set aside and used in the Capital Outlay Fund. Additionally that night, Council was informed by Street Superintendent Jim Brigle quotes to repair the backhoe brakes now ranged from $7,500 to $10,000. While speaking to the matter at hand, questions and concerns ~ such as whether the Village could get another ten years of service from the equipment with completed repairs; when the time comes to purchase a new backhoe (estimated at seventy-nine thousand dollars), could costs be possibly shared with Florence Township; would the Village be able to recoup money spent if the backhoe was later sold; could repairs be done in-house rather than contracted out ~ were posed and taken into account before proceeding. With a motion on the table, Council went on to approve repairs to the Village backhoe as initially submitted. In other action, Council: Shared Spring Trash pickup would take place Saturday, May 17. Heard Chief of Police Tom Szymczaks detailed Service Log and Vehicle Report for February. Also noted was his attendance at the recent Mock Crash planning meeting and handling of last months bomb threat at the school. Noted with current budget cuts, the Park Department would be allowed twenty hours per week for part-time workers. Set the Street Committee meeting (Councilors Thiel, Horn and Lawrence) for Thursday, March 27 at 9:00 a.m. Learned the Park Board needs to be reorganized by the end of the month. Accepted the Minutes, Financial Report and Bills as presented. Learned WEDCOs annual luncheon meeting would be held March 27 at the Williams County Veterans Building in Montpelier; councilors interested in attending should RSVP without delay. The next regular monthly meeting of the Edon Village Council will be held Monday, April 21, 2014 beginning at 7:00 p.m. in Village Chambers. Lucinda Held-Faulhaber may be reached at [email protected]

Montpelier was named as a Clean Water Winner. They say it was a battle of titans and The Best Municipal Water Award went to Montpelier who tied with Dickinson, ND. Montpelier is not a stranger to this competition, the Village has won first-place honors for the municipal water on three separate occasions: in 2003, 2006, and 2007. The entries were judges from 18 states, three Canadian provinces, 12 foreign nations and five continents. The top winner again this year was a Canadian competitor from Clearbrook, B.C. The ten media judges selected by Klein Rone included representatives from various regional and national media including television and online magazines. They were instructed by von Wiesenberger to look, sniff, and taste each water under guidelines similar to those in a wine tasting. The water is rated on several criteria. First is the appearance. It needs to be clear or slightly opaque for the glacial waters. The aroma of the water is also considered, of which there should be none. The taste needs to be clean, light, and make you thirsty for more. For anyone who is interested, the 25th annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting is scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2015.

not make them legitimate. There are a mass amount of scam charities that collect millions with little money actually goes to their causes. The Better Business Bureau has a Wise Giving Alliance Program. This program reports that they requested information from the Police Protection Fund but they have not responded. The program reports on national charities and determines if they meet 20 voluntary standards on matters such as charity finances, appeals, and governance. The participation is voluntary but when a charity fails to participate it lacks a commitment to transparency. Without the requested information, the Alliance cannot determine if this charity adheres to the Standards for Charity Accountability. The Montpelier Police Department made a statement saying that they do not endorse this group and would not recommend your donation to them. They contribute nothing to our agency and if they pose as representatives of our agency it is false. It is our recommendation that you contribute to specific memorials for fallen officers if you so choose.

Recently a local resident contacted the Montpelier Police Department in regards to a potential scam that claims police officers benefit from the funds. The organization is called Police Protection Fund and, while it is an actual organization, the majority of the funds that they take in do not actually help officers. The funds raised are supposed to go to pay death benefits for officers killed in the line of duty. The organization uses tele-marketers to seek out donations for their cause. Legally, the calls cannot be stopped the way other marketing calls can under federal and state do-not-call laws because non-profit groups are exempt. However, it is important to remember that just because they have the legal status of a non-profit charity does

Any interested participant can come out to the fairgrounds and meet others who have similar interests. I have met some of my best friends at coon hunting events, stated Hickman. I have friends from Georgia and beyond, and when we get to meet up and hunt, its awesome. Thats why I love hunting. You can meet somebody new every time you go out. Plus I just love being out doors and staying active, and hunting is a great way to do that. A pulled pork dinner will also be included with the ten dollar ticket on Friday night of the weekend long event, along with prizes that guests can enter to win all weekend long Hickman was sure to thank the community for inviting the event to the area, and said that there are numerous benefits that the community will receive from hosting the hunt. With hunters coming from all over the country, we fill up all the hotels and motels. Corey said. With over 200 people coming they all need to stop and get gas and they all need to eat, so its needless to say that the hunt can bring a lot of revenue to the area. The Williams County Visitors Board has played a vital role in making this event a success, according to Mr. Hickman who said They have absolutely bent over backwards to help us out and acclimate us while weve been planning the hunt. I really want to thank them for all they have done because we may not have been able to bring it to Williams County.

Annual Maple Syrup Days Once Again A Big Hit
WARM SUNNY DAYS AND COLD NIGHTS MAKE GOOD SYRUP During the Maple Syrup Days at the Fairgrounds, there is one event to always visit after you've had your pancakes and sausage breakfast. That's to visit the Sugar Shack north of the fairgrounds. Down at the Shack, you will learn how Maple Syrup is made and can see the trees that have been tapped and tended to. Lamar Dick explains the process to the small groups down at the Sugar Shack. A FAMILY AFFAIR As the maple syrup making demonstration continues in the sugar shack, there is always an opportunity to purchase a pint, a half gallon, or a gallon of syrup. Making sure to grab some real maple syrup at the Sugar Shack is Jade Wiley, Kiera Wiley, Blaze Wiley and Shawna Allomong of Montpelier.

Hilltop Make Up Days Scheduled For Remainder Of School Year

The hope is that this wild winter is behind us and we can move on to spring. Since the State has now provided direction for make-up days, a plan is now in place to make up the days that are required by law. An immense amount of time has been spent on this matter and all options have been looked at, but there is just no clear cut answer than will please and satisfy all. The plan that has been decided upon is believed to be the most fair for all involved. Starting Monday, March 31st through Friday, May 30th, school will start 15 minutes early, at 7:45 am and dismiss 15 minutes later at 3:15 pm. Holidays such as Good Friday and Memorial Day will still be honored. Thursday, April 17th and Wednesday, May 14th are scheduled 2 hour delay days for Professional Development training. On these two days, school will start at the normal 10:00 time but dismiss at 3:15. Even doing this, however, there will still be days to be made up at the end of the year. The number of days will be reduced, but the exact number will not be known until the end of the school year. Moving into spring also brings the reality of fog delays and possible cancellations. Action will be taken as necessary. For families of a Senior, graduation will remain and not be changed from Sunday, June 1st. The only change make be when they will be taking their final exams and when they are dismissed from school. Again, that will be addressed later when there is a clearer picture of what is going on and taking place with the schedule being implemented. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Superintendent Larry E. Long at 419-9242365 ext. 2322 or llong@ hilltopcadets.org.

Church at 6:30 pm and all interested persons are invited to pretend. Also, just as in years past, garage sales will be held throughout the village over the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday preceding Memorial Day. The registration site for those interested in participating in the event is being determined and will be released to the public upon confirmation. The Bullthistle festival is slated to take place on August 2 this year. Building Character, a presentation to be held on April 4 at The Fayette Opera House, will precede the May 1, 2, and 4 production of As Different as a Frog and a Grizzly.

The Thursday date is set for students to attend, the Friday date as a dinner theater, and the Saturday as general admission. Admission to the Friday date will be $20 that includes a prime rib dinner. Saturday admission will be $10. Those interested in attending are urged to reserve tickets early.

of the Ford Mustang, and Friday Night on the Square, which the date for has not quite yet been finalized for. Also discussed was the Chamber of Commerces presence at The Fulton County Fair, which has seen many positive responses. In past years the Chamber has focused on a theme of Home Grown Business. However, there are some concerns whether or not the Chamber can continue with this theme with a limited amount of Chamber businesses to spotlight. Mayor Ruth Marlatt pointed out that she believes that the Chambers focus on these businesses is something good and both she and all of the Chamber members present would like to encourage all of Fayettes businesses to join the Chamber so that they can partake in the benefits the Chamber has to offer. Other matters attended to during the meeting were agreements to change the signers on the Chambers bank account to Michael Figgins, DeeAnn Lawrence, and Karen King; and Mayor Marlatts honoring of Lowell Beaverson for his commitment to the village and the tree commission. A donation of $100 from the Chamber to the Parks and Rec department to assist with renovations being made at the park was also unanimously agreed upon.

Fayette Superintendent Erik Belcher Walking The Halls At Fayette"

Fayette, like all of the other Northwest Ohio school districts, has had fewer days for students and staff walking the halls this winter due to Mother Nature giving us a steady dose of snow, wind, and bone chilling cold. These days that our students are not attending school have resulted in lost education time where more accountability is expected out of our students, staff, and board of education. Research shows us that there are only a handful of things that truly have an adverse effect on student achievement and one of those is summer breaks. What we have had in the last 8 months in all reality is a winter break due to the weather. Many people want to know what goes into how a calamity day comes about. At Fayette the sole reason we delay or cancel is student safety. When this is a possibility, my day begins at 5 am as I am communicating with other superintendents, county officials, Fayette transportation coordinator, and driving the roads to get an assessment of the conditions. A well thought out and deliberate decision is made by 6 am through our alert system, television, and radio if we will delay and by 8 am if we will cancel. If a definitive decision can be made the night before we will do so to allow families the additional time to make arrangements for their children. When a decision is being made, we take into account the road conditions, wind, visibility, daylight, and the temperature. We have highly trained and skilled bus drivers at Fayette and they have a very important job, the safety of our most precious cargo. students. Our bus drivers begin their morning routes at 6:00am and during this time we have young children often waiting outside by the road in the dark for the bus to pick them up. In extremely cold days frostbite can set in as little as 10 minutes. In days where the roads are not clear or vision is limited, our buses are exhibiting additional caution and are sometimes running behind schedule. Mix these issues together and you have the recipe for potential disaster. Once our students are on the bus we not only worry about the bus but we also must be concerned about the other drivers on the road. Most often we hear of bus accidents that involve other vehicles and pray that this does not happen to anyone. Our High School students who drive to school are a major concern as they are novice drivers and often lack the experience that is needed in these kinds of conditions. Sometimes on those days where it can go either way we air on the side of caution to allow daylight to improve driving conditions. Too often I hear criticism of what we should have done or what we didnt do in regards to a decision. We take the safety of our student to heart and we do what we feel is in the best interests of our children. No lost day of school is worth the safety of our students.

Sen. Randy Gardner First Recipient Of Ohio History Leadership Award

before he came to the Ohio General Assembly, said Burt Logan, the Ohio Historical Society executive director and CEO. He has been a strong advocate for so many years promoting Ohio history, heritage tourism and educational issues to the benefit of Ohio. This award is a small token of our thanks to him for his leadership on these and other issues. Senator Gardner told the audience of approximately 200 people at the event that he was honored to receive the award and he thanked the directors, board members and volunteers at the local level that really make a difference in promoting and preserving Ohio history. The Ohio Historical Society, was founded in 1885. The nonprofit Ohio Historical Society (ohiohistory.org) provides a wide array of statewide services and programs related to collecting, preserving and interpreting Ohios history, archaeology and natural history through its 58 sites and museums across Ohio, including its flagship museum, the Ohio History Center in Columbus. For information regarding OHS, contact Shannon Thomas, the Assist. Director of Marketing & Communications, Ohio Historical Society: 614.297.2317, sthomas@ohiohistory. org.
AWARD ... State Senator Randy Gardner and Fulton County Historical Society Director John Swearingen, Jr. who attended the Ohio Statehood Day luncheon on February 27 at the Statehouse. Gardner received the Ohio History Leadership Award at the luncheon.
(Columbus, OH): The Ohio Historical Society and a consortium of other history-related organizations presented State Sen. Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green) with its first-ever Ohio History Leadership Award at the annual Statehood Day advocacy event on Thursday, February 27 at the Ohio Statehouse. The Ohio History Leadership Award is intended to recognize annually at each Statehood Day event a member of the Ohio General Assembly who has distinguished him/ herself in their public service by being an outspoken advocate for the promotion of Ohio history. Senator Gardner was the legislative sponsor in 2011 for the new Ohio Historical Society tax check-off that now appears on the state income tax forms. Ohioans receiving a refund on their state income taxes now have
the option of donating a portion of their refund to the Ohio Historical Society. The Society then uses those donations as grants for local historyrelated projects through its History Fund grants program. More than $100,000 in grants was awarded to 10 organizations at the Feb. 27 Statehood Day event. Senator Gardner is a former history and government teacher
Fred Allen addressed members of the Wauseon City Council during the regularly scheduled council meeting held on March 17. Speaking on behalf of the Utility Committee, Allen explained that the committee has found no immediate need to go forward with the planned April 1 water rate increase and that the committee was recommending that the rate increase be postponed until November 1. The recommendation was accepted with a 5-1 vote with the nay vote being cast by Councilor Shane Chamberlin. Chamberlin explained that his vote was due to language as he would prefer wording that cancelled instead of postponed the water rate increase. Later in the meeting and prior to the reading of the necessary legislature to postpone the increase, Councilor Kathy Huner asked Tom McWatters III, Director of Law, to clarify councils abilities to postpone the April 1 increase since this increase was the last one scheduled. The original increase, she noted was only written for five years, and she wanted to clarify that council had the right to postpone that increase past that time frame. McWatters explained that, while the rates were enacted in legislation, council still maintains the right to make changes as they determine necessary. Director of Public Services Dennis Richardson noted that council always maintains the ability to raise or lower rates if they see need. McWatters also explained that the actions of postponing the rate increase were consistent with previous practice and in line with precedent. Subsequently, Ordinance 2014-3, which modifies the rate schedule for water and sewer rates for the City of Wauseon, was passed later in the meeting under emergency language and with a 5-1 vote. The emergency language was necessary in order to have the legislative procedures completed in time to stop the rate increase from occurring on April 1 and Councilor Chamberlin remained in dissent due to language. Also reporting to council that evening were the Tree Commission and Park Board. Councilor Rick Frey spoke for the Tree Commission, noting that Tom Savage has reported the removal of
some dead and hazardous trees, including the dead ash tree on Shoop Avenue. The Tree Commission also has discussed the moving of trees from Richard Mulls property to the parks and possibly into a tree nursery as well as has begun making plans for the Arbor Day presentation at the schools. The recommendation of the Tree Commission to appoint Kim Bowles to the commission to fill the unexpired term of Don Mathews through December 31, 2016 was also accepted and later approved on unanimously. Councilor Chamberlin reported on behalf of the Park Board that due to having a quorum at the last Park Board meeting on March 11, no recommendations were being made on behalf of the board. Chamberlin did note that topics discussed during the meeting included trees going into Biddle Park, the Memorial Tree program, and the reservation of the South Park Gazebo for weddings. It has been suggested that a plastic chain be put around the gazebo, marking the gazebo as reserved, as opposed to closing the park in such situations. Chamberlin also noted that Crossroads, which has had held its Vacation Bible School at Reighard Park in prior years, is again asking to use the park. It was also reported that several inquiries have been received regarding a pet friendly park. Moving on to department head reports, Council first heard from Regional Planning Director David Wright. Wright reported that the 30 day comment period for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) began on February 28, 2014. The Executive Summary, explaining all grants and programs available, is available on the website. Wright noted that everything in this regard appears the same as for 2013 and that the city has a good template in place and is ready to apply. He also noted that application is still available for the Downtown Revitalization Grant if anyone has ideas for the downtown area. The application deadline to the city office is May 24, 2014 so that the city can have the application submitted by the states deadline of June 20, 2014. Wright did also
comment that state funding has declined from the previous year. Fire Chief Rick Sluder reported that the Firemans Association has been working with the Police Department and the Parks Department on preparing for the Fourth of July fireworks celebration for this year. During Police Chief Keith Torbets report, he asked that everyone keep in mind that, as the weather improves, to keep an eye out for children on bikes and people on motorcycles. Those out walking their dogs also need to remember to clean up after their pets. Code Administrator Tom Hall reported that he has received the site plan for the new Urgent Care on Shoop Avenue and that the Board of Zoning Appeals has approved the variance for the Haas Door addition. Director of Public Service Dennis Richardson reported that, based upon the environmental study, there are still some additional borings that will need done for the Linfoot Street Project. Richardson also commented on Resolution 2014-3, which allows ODOT to conduct bridge inspections on behalf of the city. The resolution later passed under emergency language. Councilor Chamberlin inquired as to whether or not the lights at the Water Reclamation Plant that had been discussed in previous meetings had been replaced. Richardson explained that he is certain that this has been taken care of because such repairs dont require placement on the capital improvement list. However, he did note that he has not yet confirmed completion of the task but will do so soon. Other legislative matters addressed during the meeting other than those above included the passing on first reading of Resolution 2014-4, which authorizes the mayor to advertise for bids for the Secondary Digester Cover Replacement Project as well as to accept the lowest and best bid. While the resolution passed on first reading, it may be re-written into emergency language by councils next meeting to assure final passage in time to meet all necessary deadlines.

The Northwest Ohio Toastmasters club met on March 3rd for its regular meeting at Northwest State Community College. Darlene Shepherd of Bryan served as master of ceremonies (Toastmaster) to conduct the meeting. Darlene reflected on the long winter with ideas to get out of the house. She suggested the Titanic exhibition at Imagination Station in Toledo and Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. This spring the Great Lakes Museum is opening on the East side of Toledo. There are also several home and garden shows to attend in various locations. Visiting the Metro Parks in Lucas County and several state parks was an outside idea. President Rebecca Lovelass of Fayette provided a speech entitled, Music Makes Us Better. She related how music can be uplifting and helps people forget their troubles. Music through vibration can also have healing influence on people. Feeling can come through music even when a different language is used. Live performances of music are particularly influencing on an audience. Loretta Torres of Fayette presented a speech on P.L. Travers who wrote the book Mary Poppins. Specifically she noted the multi-year struggle between Walt Disney and Ms. Travers on the making of Mary Poppins the Movie. Although the author had script approval, she did not have edit rights and did not have some of her objections followed as depicted in the movie Saving Mr. Banks. Larry Zuvers of Bryan coordinated the table topics, where members commented on their perspective on the word Snow. There were points made about snow men, snow mobiles, yellow snow, ice cream snow, snow blizzards, and shipping snow out of the area. Advocate was the challenge word of the day that members used in their presentations. It was provided by Barb Steckly of Bryan. An advocate is one that stands up for another person or supports a position or cause. She also provided inspirational thoughts of: A wounded deer leaps high, and Extraordinary situations show how great you can be. Jane Hibbard of Stryker provided a general review of the flow of the meeting. All members participated in reviewing the two speeches. Brent Sines, a new member, reported on the number of distracting sounds such as "ah" that were used during the meeting. Larry Zuvers timed the speeches to limit saying too much Guests are always welcome to attend Northwest Ohio Toastmasters' meetings on the first and third Monday of each month at 6:30 pm in the Allied Health Building Conference Room at NW State Community College south of Archbold.

Winning The Battle For A Generation

HAVE YOU MOURNED WITH THOSE WHO MOURN?
One of the great takeaways of Jesus coming in flesh and then subjecting himself to all the fears of humanity is Jesus identifies with us in our suffering and shame. For example, Christian doctor and author John White writes John White tells the story of his days as a medical student. For one of his classes, he missed a practicum about venereal disease and had to make it up at the clinic. When he arrived at the clinic he ended up in a line with a bunch of patients who had actually contracted a venereal disease. White barged up to the front and told the head nurse, I need to see the doctor. Thats what everybody says, snorted the nurse, now get in line. But Im a medical student. Big deal, said the nurse, You got it the same way as everybody else; now you can stand in line like everybody else. John White writes: In the end I managed to explain to her why I was there, but I can still feel the sense of shame that made me balk at standing in line with the other men who had a venereal disease. Yet Jesus shunned shame as he [went to the cross]. And the moral gulf that separated him from us was far greater than that separating me from the men at the clinic But he crossed the gulf, joining our ranks, embraced us and still remained pure. He identified with those he came to save. He became like us. Regarding Jesus practice to identify with humanity, the writer to Hebrews writes Hebrews 4:15 (NIV), 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin.

Devotional Thought / Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Pick your ultimate human star, whether its an artist, musician, entertainer, business president, or athlete - pick one. Now ask this question, Do they owe me anything? For example, Peyton Manning, NFL star for the Denver Broncos. Do I have the right to approach Peyton out of the blue and demand anything? Does he owe me? Even an autograph? He has worked hard since a child, playing a game, a sport he was conditioned to love, using skills like no other, sweating, enduring sore muscles, long hours studying, pain, wins and losses. He has faced injury, surgery, false accusations, critics, haters, doubters people who praise you one minute and shout at you the next. Does he owe me anything? NO! Not even the time of the day. Ill never forget going to a baseball game at a major league stadium, arriving early to watch batting practice. The fans were lined up against the outfield wall, waiting to catch baseballs that were hit out of the park or balls that the players were warming up with before the game. These fans would shout at the ballplayers, begging for a baseball! Begging, screaming, and then shouting expletives back at the players if they didnt get one. For what? A $6 baseball? Do these players owe the fan anything? NO. For the price of the tickets the fan could have bought a bucket of baseballs at a sporting goods store. These fans seem to be ungrateful for the ticket that admits them into the stadium, and the opportunity to be entertained. Sometimes we do the same with God, as we are ungrateful for the admission price into a heavenly stadium. In the end, we demand more from God, who made it possible for us to even exist! Almighty, all-powerful, creator of all things, sustainer of life, worshipped by angels, superior in all things! Does He owe us? No. God owes us nothing, but He gives us everything. That is called...grace. Jesus told his disciples a story in Matthew 20, that helps us deal with the term grace - getting what we dont deserve. The story itself is quite simple. A landowner needed men to work in his vineyard, so he went our early in the morning and hired all the workers he could find. He agreed to pay them a normal days wage, for their work. Around 9 am he went out again and found more workers. He hired them too, but this time there was no set wage. He merely said, I will pay you whatever is right. They agreed. He did the same at noon, 3 pm, and 5 pm - just an hour before quitting time. At the end of the day he paid the workers, beginning with those he had hired last. He gave each one in that group a days wage, and so on with those who he hired at 3 pm, noon, and at 9 am. Finally he came to those he had fired first. By that time these guys were probably rubbing their hands together happily, supposing that if those who had worked less than they had worked were being paid a days wage, they would receive more! But the owner paid them a days wage too, and they complained. The owner replied, Friend, I am not being unfair to you? Didnt you agree to work for a days wage? Take your pay and go. I wanted to pay this last worker the same as you. Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my money? Should you be jealous because I am kind to others? Dont miss this important lesson - the generosity of the owner. At the very least, this story is intended to teach us about the grace of God. Jesus reminded His disciples that no one, especially God owes them anything! Whether you are serving first thing in the morning or later in the day, God s grace is extended to all. None of us really deserve anything. Yet, through the grace of God, he gives us everything! Before you complain today, remember the amazing grace of God extended to you. Let that good news encourage you today! For more reading, check out: Matthew 20, Ephesians 2:8-9, and

St. Baldricks operates in 48 states and 18 countries in order to raise both funds and awareness to this issue. Since starting their mission in 2005, the St. Baldricks organization has raised over $127 million dollars to fund research that not only saves the lives of those currently fighting cancer, but to prevent the disease from claiming the lives of children in the future as well. The signature event of the St. Baldricks organization is its holding of head shavings, where friends, family, and community members gather and set a pledge goal. If the goal is met, the person shaves their head in solidarity with the children battling the disease.
