of the finer things in life. And Tom Clark's Colby Cheese may be as close to heaven as anything HI ever see.

We live in dry territory here in the flatlands. "Dry" meaning that alco-holic beverages aren't for sale lo-cally. I blame it on the republicans and the Baptists that we can't buy a bottle of wine at E J.'s or Uncle Tom's to go along with our cheese. Some of us can't afford to drive to a wet county and stock up the way that our politi-cians and preachers do but, on the other hand, some of us don't lie cheat and steal.in the name of the Lord the way thatNewt Gingrich docs. Some

• of us would rather cat bologna and drink some diet Coke and wait our turn.

That's what I'm doing. I'm eating cold cuts and trying to

save enough money to buy Loretta some sexy underwear and I'm look-ing Lark-lips Limbaugh straight in the eye to see if there is some sign of intelligence there.

There's not any, but that should come as no surprise.

"Heresay" (Cont. from A2)

God with foul play (19:6) : . . know then God has put me in the wrong and closed his net about me." And, if he got the chance, he wpuld proudly defend his integrity (3 1:3/): "/would give him an account of all my steps: like a prince I would approach him."

Now, to make a longer story short — and because I may have quoted more Scripture than the average church member can stand, let alone non-church folk — Job got a meeting with his Maker. It didn't go as he cxpcctcd: God asked the questions! And by the time the Almighty fin-ished his interrogation. Job had given up his complaint and repented his impatience^ and price (mankind's number onesin): "I haveutteredwhai

and have all the answers (most of which arc in books you can order via an 800 number).

Double oops! Yet another and fi-nal observation. Note how quickly Job and his friends fell out when he challenged thcirchcrishcd "doctrine." You take it from there

I stopped at Don Foster's Real Estate offie in Berca to get news and say hello to everybody.

I found Charles Patsons and Ncurcul Miracle out on business but

I hit pay dirt when I saw and talked to Sharon Hurley Anglin who claims roots on Clear Creek.

Sharon said she had a new baby girl named Dcannce Rac Anglin about three months old being born on Sep-tember 7th this year.

Motherhood changes a woman. Sharon who always looked so glamourus in the office now has a new kind of beauty, a young mother who says she misses her baby, who is being kept by a grandmother (the best kind of baby sitter) and can't wait to get home to her after work, t

We went to Lambert road to buy some commeal from Glenn Ponder who has a gristmill.

IaskcdMr. Ponder if he were look-ing for Santa Claus and that I would be writing Santa a letter. Did he want me to say anything to Santa for him.

Glenn Ponder who is a friendly man and went along on my joke said, "Tell Santa I've been real good, I'm too old to do anything!

Clcve, my brother, gave mc the address of a man who wants some plumgranny seed sent to him at Har-rodsburg. He had written in a maga-zine which Clcve and Blanche read.

Well, he drove his ducks to the right pond for I have the seeds.

John drove up a new road that I have never been before callcd the Roy Brown Road at Roundstone.

A fellow named Vester Maples lives up that road. He came over to our placc to buy some molasses last fall when John and Arthur Davidson were making them. They had none that day so John told him that he would see that Maples got a gallon.

, That is why we were there, to take his molasses to him as we went to'ML

Vernon. We passed the prettiest white

church callcd Grace Baptist Church as we drove back out to 25. There was abuleltinboardwithabcautifulBiblc verse on iL I happened to be without paper and pencil so plan to go back and copy down to share with you.

I'm now going to answer some mail that I've gotten - My first letter was from Rosa Lee Richardson at

I nd ianapol is, I nd iana and wri tten J u ly 31,1994.

It was the nicest letter to get from one of my "good readers" who says she shares hcrS/gndfwhich she was given for her birthday (what a nice present!) with Betty Ramsey Cline who isa friend from Mrt. Vernon too.

Rosa put the icing on the cake when she invited mc to a family 20 year reunion of Richmond - Mullins families at Berca City Park on Sep-tember 3rd. I can't go Rosa for J write this on December 6th and I'd be a little late but thank you for the thought and she says she would like to meet me. Well fd sure like to meet a pcr-sonlikeyou! And thank you for being one of my "good readers!"

My next letter comes from Marie Payne from Cordele, Georgia and she wants to know if we came from the same branch ofPaynes. Our family only claimed one branch and that fcas about dad and his father. I don't have time to tell you a lot but Cleve sends you this address of Ron Payne, Route 3, Box 20, Folkville, Alabama, 35622-9403 who can give you more infor-mation about the Paynes. They have a Payne Reunion near Rcnfro Valley which is near us. I went this year the first time.

Or you can write Cleve and wife Blanche who may help you - Clcve Payne Route 2, Box 456, ML Ver-non, Ky. 40456.

Maybe you can come to the Payne Reunion next year when you come back to visiL

I'll stop with answering letters and take them up next week. One is from New Yo?k and one is from Sun City, Florida.

I want to send a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year greeting to reader Eva Ebnet in 3260 Gene Ln. Forth Worth, Texas 76117.

Somebody must like to read the Signal for I've had letters from Flor-ida, NcwYork, Texas, California in the last few weeks.

myself, and repent in dust and ashes." (42:4,6)

Well, there you have it, friends. Job was not so "patient." Rather, he "persevered." That's the way most translations of the Bible put it, in-cluding The New King James.

So... here's the bottom line of my say today: If wc could be so wrong about Job, could we be wrong about some of our other long-standing bib-lical interpretations, especially those based on out-dated English words. Really, folks, it's a frightening thing. G£d reprimanded the three friends (42:7): " . . . you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has." What a condemnation!

And, precious souls, our "patient Job" idea came about because of a simple misunderstanding of the Eng-lish language. "Paticnce" in King James' day (1611) earned the conno-tation of "perseverance." But today "patient" means "capable of bearing affliction with calmness" (American Heritage Dictionary). Beloved, The King J.ames Version of the Bible is the greatest book in the English lan-guage; but it is not the best translation of the original Scriptures. \

Oops! One more thougbL I've heard it said that the Book of Job was writ-ten "to explain the ways of God to man." 1 doubt that. Job's questions were never answered. God seems to reserved thcright to kccpsomc things to himself - although you would

know so listening to today's glut of radio-television preachers who lander a health-and-wealth theology
