“The only good luck many great men ever had was being born with the ability and determination to overcome bad luck.”

~Channing Pollock (1880 - 1946) US humorist

GARDEN CITY• At midnight thirty, an Officer responded to EnMark where the clerk pointed out that the suspect from an earlier shoplifting incident was back in the store. The Officer walked over and spoke with the man, then told him he needed to pat him down to make sure he didn’t have any weapons. And sure enough, the man didn’t have any weapons on him, unless you consider the half eaten hot dog in his front right pants pocket a dan-ger to society. The man was very, very drunk, often losing his balance while at-tempting to stand and talk at the same time. The Officer kept try-ing to ask him about the hot dog in his pocket, but the man’s only response to his questions was “What did I do wrong?” The clerk was able to identify the hot dog as one of the items shoplifted by the man earlier, along with a couple of beers that he’d obviously con-sumed by the time he staggered back in a second time. He’d actually tried to pay for the beers, but the clerk told him he was too intoxicated to buy any more alcohol. The man apparently thought he’d paid for the beers as he picked them up off the coun-ter and walked right out the front door. He was arrested on shoplift-ing, public drunk and pedestrian under the influence charges. (Par-don me, is that a half eaten hot dog in your pocket or are you happy to see me?)

POOLER• Officers responded to a report of a fight in progress at the Club House in Godley Station. They ar-rived to find a man laying on the ground, bleeding from his face and mouth area, obviously badly beat-en. They called for EMS to come and treat him, and asked the man who had beat him up. He pointed towards a truck parked nearby. On the other side of the truck was a man sitting on the sidewalk. That man held his hands in the air to show that he wasn’t a threat. He said the beaten man had followed and harassed him all night, want-ing to fight. He ignored him most

By Stephen Prudhomme

It sounds like the canine ver-sion of “Home Alone.” A Savan-nah family traveling home from vacation doesn’t realize its dog is missing until traveling for several hours. That triggers a frantic search covering many miles and involving thousands of people and bringing home the power of prayer. Not to speak of a Yorkshire Ter-rier named Buster, who provided the ultimate happy movie ending by being home again. Ben and Janella Gregoire and their three children, Suzanne, 8, and twin boys Jacob and Max, 5, were returning home from a va-cation in Maine. Riding in the backseat was Buster, a two-and-half-year-old black and tan Yorkie Suzanne had received as a birthday present in 2012. “He weighs about two and half pounds and is smaller than a steering wheel,” Ben says. Also in the van was a religious icon of Theotokis (the Virgin Mary) and child Jesus that the family had been given on a temporary basis by its church, St. Mary Magdelene Or-thodox in Rincon, to remind them of God’s presence and divine pro-tection. Just outside of Harrisburg, Pa., they went through a McDonald’s drive-thru. Recalls Ben: “The or-der was all messed up.” He subse-quently took his boys to the bath-room before resuming their ride. They later stopped at a Starbucks and then drove on, going through Maryland and West Virginia, the children content with full stom-achs and watching a movie. After about two hours of driv-ing from the McDonald’s, just after entering Virginia, Suzanne asked about Buster. “Anytime Suzanne calls for Buster,” Janella says, “he goes to her. But this time he did not. They franticly searched through their travel belongings and couldn’t locate him. Trying to reconstruct what had happened, they eventually realized he had, unbeknownst to them, slipped out of the van’s sliding door when they had stopped to use the McDonald’s restroom. It was not a happy real-ization. “My wife and daughter were freaking out,” says Ben, noting they had removed Buster’s collar and tag while he was in the van. “I stood outside in the rain and talked to Suzanne and told her Buster prob-ably had a new owner who needed him more than she did. She didn’t want to hear it. She was crying.” It was time for Ben to do a little

detective work so he could bring a smile back to Suzanne’s face. He spotted the McDonald’s bag in the car and called the phone number on the receipt. An employee told him a woman driving a silver car was spotted picking up a little dog matching Buster’s description. Lo-cal police reviewed the videotape and saw the woman’s license plate, and the state patrol subsequently contacted her. She told them she had picked up the dog, but he later ran off into some nearby woods. The Gregoires checked out of their hotel in Virginia and drove back to Pennsylvania and the area near McDonald’s where Buster had supposedly run off into the woods. The family had been praying after since learning Buster was missing, with Suzanne calling on St. Francis and any other saint associated with animals. With the children asleep in the van, which was parked under an oak tree, Ben and Janella spent the rest of the night searching for Bust-er, to no avail. The next day Ben had some flyers printed up and also found out about a Facebook page,

findtobyinpa.com, that’s dedicated to helping people find missing pets in the local area. Janella says numerous volun-teers went out to the neighborhood

searching for Buster. They put out additional flyers, talked to people in the neighborhood, walked to a

By Robert Knight For an organization that fre-quently goads government into advancing an atheistic viewpoint on everyone within reach, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) talks a good game about how wrong it is for some people to “impose their beliefs on others.” The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June in favor of Hobby Lobby and another Christian-owned com-pany that refused to comply with Obamacare’s abortifacient man-date has sent the left-wing legal group into serious handwringing. “While religious freedom gives us all the right to make personal decisions about how to practice religion,” the ACLU states, “it doesn’t give institutions or indi-viduals the right to impose their beliefs on others.” Really? Doesn’t requiring the Christian owners of Hobby Lobby or Conestoga Wood Products to cut their conscience to fit the AC-LU’s atheism constitute a situation where the ACLU itself is trying to use the law to “impose their be-liefs on others”? According to the ACLU’s read-ing of the First Amendment, it’s

OK to have “freedom of worship,” which means keeping religious stuff strictly in your head or behind church doors. But God help you if you try to live it out in the real world, where the ACLU prowls for “victims.” On the bright side, the ACLU is doing us all a favor by keeping track of its many religious-free-dom challenges to the oppressive Obamacare contraceptive man-date across the nation. “To date, 101 cases have been filed challenging the rule as an in-fringement on religious liberty,” the ACLU states on its website. “Eighty-nine of these cases are cur-rently pending: 41 cases brought by nonprofit organizations, 45 cases brought by for-profit com-panies, and three cases brought by both nonprofit and for-profit plaintiffs.” The devil’s law firm and other atheistic groups are also actively attacking religious freedom by contending that religiously affiliat-ed schools cannot require employ-ees to live by religious standards. In 2012, in the Hossana-Tabor case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the government cannot interfere with religious groups’

faith-based employment qualifica-tions. The lawsuits keep coming, though. In 2013, San Diego Christian College dismissed an employee, Teri James, who had become pregnant out of wedlock. She re-tained feminist camera-hog law-yer Gloria Allred and sued the uni-versity, even though Ms. James had signed a covenant as a condi-tion of employment agreeing not to engage in certain behaviors, including premarital sex. What’s a promise or a contract worth? “Women out there should not have to worry about losing their income and independence just because they are carrying a child,” Ms. James said in a statement. Independence? She means that the school has a duty to sup-port her in the manner in which she is accustomed even if she breaks their rules. The ACLU summed up the situation this way: “There are cases of religious schools firing employees who are unmarried and pregnant, for ex-ample, in the name of religion.” Well, yes. A Christian school should have the right to employ

DOGGED DETERMINATIONFamily Calls on Prayer, Perseverance and Kind Strangers to Bring Buster Back Home

Suzanne’s prayers to St. Francis and other saints who watch over animals were answered when she was reunited with her dog Buster. The Yorkie Ter-rier, unbeknownst to Suzanne and her family, had jumped out of their van during a stop at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania last month as they returned home from a vacation in Maine.

Like most everbody else, I’m going to miss Robin Williams. A comic genius, much like my favor-ite, Jonathan Winters, who Wil-liams admired and learned from. Williams was so quick-witted, which really showed up in any interview or conversation you’d ever see of him. He’d jump on the first thought that popped into his head in response to a question or a comment by another person, and would develop that into a hysteri-cal reply, jumping into a variety of fictitious characters to deliver his punchline. Like I say... a comic genius! Really gonna miss him.

...A couple of weeks ago, we noted on our front page that Thursday, July 31st was National Chili Dog Day. I meant to point out that week how much I miss Der Wienerschnitzel and their Chili Cheese Dogs! Great group of people that worked there, too!

...I had a big fight with Allison this morning... she’s so mad, she still won’t tell me what it was about!

...An 86 year old woman was arrested for shoplifting. When she went before the Judge in Cincin-nati, he asked her “What did you steal? She replied “A can of peaches.” The Judge asked her why she’d stolen the can of peaches, and she replied that she was hungry. Then the Judge asked her how many peaches were in the can. She replied “Six.” “Then I’ll give you six days in jail,” the Judge said. Before he could actually pronounce the punishment, the woman’s husband spoke up and asked the Judge if he could say something on his wife’s

behalf. The Judge asked “What is it?” The husband said “She also stole a can of peas.”

...Did you hear that we dropped shipments of water, food and medical supplies to the Yazi-dis stuck on the mountain in Iraq, and didn’t include a parachute? The pallets simply burst to pieces when they landed!

...Things I learned while look-ing up other things... • Rabbits must eat their own poop to ensure they get enough nutrition from their food by di-gesting it twice. (Judge not, lest ye be judged!)• The human brain has shrunk by 10% in the past 20,000 years. (That might explain some of our Police Reports!)

...Jimmy Carter, fighting to retain his position as the Worst President ever that he’s lost to Barack Obama, has aligned him-self with the terrorists in Gaza! Can’t he just go back to Plains and keep quiet?!!

...I hope somebody’s got a plan for dealing with the illegal immigrant children who will be attending American schools soon, especially the part about some of them suffering from scabies, measles, chickenpox and tubercu-losis! I wouldn’t think that they will have had enough time to get enrolled in Obamacare and receive the necessary vaccinations to pre-vent the spread of these diseases to American kids!

...Remember back in 2008, when our Vacationer-in-Chief was on the campaign trail and said this... “You give me this office and, in turn, my fears, doubts, insecuri-ties, foibles, need for sleep, family life, vacations, leisure is gone. I am giving myself to you.” And now, while the world is

in turmoil, our President has gone to Martha’s Vineyard for another two week vacation. A war between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas? No problem. Islamic fun-damentalists are beheading chil-dren and Christians in Iraq? No problem. Having trouble breaking a hundred on the golf course? Bet-ter take a couple of weeks and hit the course to get that fixed!

...And speaking of the Islamic fundamentalists, do you consider ISIS... the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria... a threat to the United States? This is the group that’s murdering Christians if they refuse to convert to Islam. For me, it’s not a question of “if,” but “when.” It was just back in May that an American citizen, 22-year-old Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, carried out a suicide bombing in Syria when he detonated a truck-load of explosives in an attempt to kill Syrian troops. He had been trained by ISIS in Iraq, then used his American passport to return home before then going to Syria to blow himself up. While back home in Florida, he threatened the good ole U.S. of A. by saying “We are coming for you.” I’m afraid there’s lots more kooks like this guy already in America. If you doubt that, then take a moment and google Dearborn, Michigan. Better yet, take a ride down, I think it’s 33rd Street, between Abercorn and Drayton and get a look at the Jihad Mosque down there! Now, I don’t know if there are any future terrorists there, but just the name bothers me! We should have gone into northern Iraq with heavy air strikes once these fanatics crawled across the border from Syria and we should have wiped these guys out! I guess it’s too much to ask President Peace Prize to stop these guys before their Islamic Caliph-ate idea spreads to other Muslim countries. “We leave behind a stable and self-reliant Iraq” said our Presi-dent. A stable group of terrorists who will one day be attacking innocent Americans again is more like it!

...How long before President Tee Time stands in front of the Veterans Administration and declares that the VA is stable and reliant, then heads to the United States Treasury offices and declares the IRS is stable and self-reliant?

...If your business needs more customers, please consider adver-tising with The Spirit! We’ve got a ton of readers that are eager to see your business’s message inside these pages. Call us at 748-3567 and let us show you how afford-able advertising in The Spirit really is!

...“When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice!”

...Take care this week, stay safe, and in the words of the great Red Skelton, “May God Bless.”

... God uses storms to prove to us that He is the only shelter.

Regarding The EPS’s Overreaching Power Grab...Dear Editor, You recently ran a letter from Pete Allen about a rule that the EPA is currently proposing that would restore protections to streams and wetlands that impact Georgia’s riv-ers. As a Georgia native, I know how important the rivers are to our state’s natural beauty, as the Chat-tahoochee always presents itself as

a fun river for swimming on the weekends. Supreme Court cases brought on by big polluters over the past decade opened dangerous loop-holes in the Clean Water Act. These loopholes leave the drinking water for nearly five million Geor-gians vulnerable to increased pol-lution. Despite the benefits that clean-er streams and wetlands could bring to the Savannah river, people known for polluting our streams like the oil and gas industry seem

intent on painting this as a pow-er grab. I’d encourage interested Georgians to read the rule and some of the fact sheets on the EPA’s website. This is a great step forward for our rivers and drinking water and I urge readers to do their own re-search and stand up for clean rivers in Georgia.

Sincerely,Evan SwaakAtlanta, GA

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

At it’s meeting held on Wednes-day, August 6th, the Exchange Club of Effingham County listened to Fr. Nguyen Bah Thong (known as Fr. Martino) speak about Viet Nam and his experiences growing up there after the war. After he arrived at the end of June at St. Boniface as its new pas-tor, Fr. Martino told how he was thrown into prison several times - interrogated, beaten and repeated-ly struck with the butt of an AK-47 assault rifle for practicing his faith. They heard him talk about his family qualifying for a repatriation program when he was 17 and on February 5, 1993, the Nguyens landed at Chicago O’Hare Field. Fr. Martino, proud of his US citi-zenship, is shown in the picture with Exchange Club President, Jimmy Rutland. The Exchange Club of Effing-ham County meets on the 1st and

3rd Wednesdays of each month for lunch, fellowship and to hear great speakers. To learn more about the Exchange Club, call Jimmy Rut-land at 655-2952 or Yvette Carr at

of the night, up until the point when the man started touching his girlfriend inappropriately. They exchanged words, and the beaten man began throwing punches. The other man was able to block those, and then punched him back. He then put the man into a hold so that he couldn’t strike him any more. There had been a large group on the scene, and some of the by-standers began punching and kick-ing the beaten man as well. They all left before the Police arrived. While the Officer was inter-viewing the two men, a young

woman ran back up to the loca-tion, screaming and stumbling around. It was apparent that she was drunk, so the Officer ordered her to sit down on the sidewalk and they’d take her statement next. The woman refused their orders and continue to yell at the Officer. He placed her under arrest for obstruction. The woman resisted being handcuffed, and kicked one of the unfortunate Officers, catching him where it hurts the most. That moved the obstruction charge up to a felony obstruction charge. The beaten man was taken to the hospital for treatment, but he

soon showed up in the Effingham Sheriff’s Reports.• A man had parked in the front of Row 8 in a handicap-designated spot at the Pooler WalMart. When he got out of his truck, his wal-let fell out of his back pocket. He didn’t realize it until he’d entered the store. He went back to see if his wallet was in his truck or on the ground, but couldn’t find it. So he reported it at the Customer Ser-vice desk and called the Police. An Officer walked the man back out to his truck to have an-other look, and still couldn’t find it. So the Officer asked the Store Security personnel if he could re-view the surveillance camera cov-ering that part of the parking lot. Fortunately, the camera recorded not only the woman picking up the wallet, putting it in her purse, and driving off, but also recorded her license plate number. The Officer traced the car to a Rincon woman, and called the Rincon Police to do a ride by and see if the car was at the woman’s home. The Rincon Officer was fa-miliar with the car, and said it was in the driveway at the home. The Pooler Officer went there and was

soon speaking with the woman. She claimed she’d found the wal-let and saw that the owner lived in Guyton, and that she was plan-ning on looking the man up in the phone book and returning his wallet to him. She said she didn’t know anything about the missing $86. The Rincon Officer called the Pooler cop on his radio and noti-fied him that the woman had two outstanding warrants for her ar-rest. The Pooler Officer took her to jail on charges of theft of mislaid property. (Lock her up and throw the key away! What a disgrace this woman is to the human race!)

• Around 3am, at the apartment complex across from Sam’s, a man’s ex-girlfriend pushed in his window while he was sleeping, and entered his apartment. She then attempted to “attack” the man in bed. He was able to con-trol her and remove her from the apartment. The Police arrived to

find the woman highly intoxicat-ed. She was taken to jail for crimi-nal trespass and public drunken-ness.• Officers responded to the new Dollar General store on Quacco Road a little after 9pm. The store manager told them a lady in the back of the store was shoplift-ing, pointing out the empty Krab-by Patty candy wrappers she’d tossed on the floor while walking around eating the candy without paying for it. The Officer walked to the back of the store while an-other Officer approached from an-other angle. The Guyton woman, seeing

You never know how many lives you have touched until you are in your own time of need. That is what has happen for James Crosby. Devoting his whole life to pub-lic service on and off the job has not gone unnoticed. Firefighters at Garden City Fire Department held a fundraiser to raise money to help a fellow brother out during his time of need. What they didn’t expect was the out pouring of support of

the community. The goal of the fire department was to sell 500 BBQ dinners but people kept coming and buying tickets after that goal was reached and they kept selling them up to the cutoff date. That support is still continuing with a local chapter of the Red Knights. The Red Knights Chapter 27 has come together to put on a “Cruise –In For A Cause” in honor of Darla

Crosby. All the proceeds will go to further help with unexpected cost for James Crosby. The Car/bike show will be held Sunday, August 17th from 2pm-5pm at Patrick’s Uniforms on Hwy 80. Registration starts at 12:30pm. Come out and join the Red Knights and Garden City Firefighters for a fun filled day. Contact Amy Bur-dette for any questions at 912-271-8639.

nearby stream looking for him and even contacted the Gregoires, get-ting the phone number from the flyer, to request additional infor-mation. “We had a young boy call us to get a better description of Buster,” Janella says. “He and his friends were also searching. What a sweet boy.” The Facebook page received 1,000 “shares” of possible Buster sightings. They all proved to be other dogs.

With Ben having to return to work, the family drove home to Savannah. Ben says they continued to pray for Buster’s return, but the realist in him didn’t expect a happy outcome. Inspired by a drawing Suzanne had made of Buster and herself with broken hearts and a little girl in a field searching for him, Ben acquired new resolve. He had been in touch with a woman from findtobyinpa.com, Glenda, who strongly encouraged him to contact the local law en-forcement official and ask him to relay their contact information to Buster’s rescuer. This eventually led to Ben getting in touch with the woman and discovering a surpris-ing twist to the story. She told him that after she had taken up the dog in the McDonald’s parking lot, a man approached her and claimed it was his dog. She told Ben the man didn’t look like some-one who owned a well-groomed Yorkie and drove off. The man fol-lowed her for a short distance be-fore driving off. The woman says she made up the story about Buster running off because she feared it was the same man who approached her at the McDonald’s. She had Buster all along. Ben confirmed it was his dog by noting that Buster had a missing bottom tooth. Ben drove 12 hours back to Pennsylvania and picked up Bust-er, who had been bathed and well taken care of. When they arrived home, Buster dashed inside as the prodigal dog and was the guest of honor at pool party, sitting on the steps of the pool, and eating some chicken. “He’s been getting treats

ever since he’s been home,” Ben says. “He can do no wrong.” Ben says he’s not a dog person, but he is a Buster person. “He loves the kids so much,” Ben says. “He follows Suzanne around and sleeps with her. He’s our fourth kid. I can’t imagine not having him around.” He sleeps with her, follows around, he’s a 4th kid. not a dog person, Ben says they would have avoided a lot of heartache if law en-forcement officials had given Bust-er’s rescuer more information about them. Then again, they wouldn’t have experienced the “miracle” of

so many people taking the time to help someone they don’t know find their dog. As a result, Ben says, he’s become more aware of giving other people a hand. “I’ve become more sensitive,” he notes. This isn’t the first time Buster went missing. He got out while the family was visiting in Maine during an ice storm and with the temperature around 10 degrees. After several hours of searching, they found him sitting on a porch next to sliding glass door and enjoying the warmth from the sunlight reflecting off the glass. “He has nine lives,” says Ben, noting that Buster broke both of his front legs from running and jump-ing with the children. “He’s pretty tough. He thinks he’s invincible.” When traveling with Buster in the future, the Gregoires are taking certain steps to reduce the likeli-hood of their tough little Yorkie testing his invincibility and taking to the road once again. “We should have Buster chipped, have his collar and tag on him at all times and have him caged or on a leash when we trav-el,” Janella says. Following this incident with Bust-er, Ben, more than ever, believes in the power of prayer. While the icon didn’t bring Buster back home, it was with the Gregoires the whole time and, coincidentally or not, bore witness to the safe return of another family dog as well. When the Gregoires were in Maine, a cousin’s dog, Cody, was spooked by July 4th fireworks and took off into the woods. They brought the icon into the home and prayed to it. At 4:30 a.m. af-ter a search of several hours failed to locate the dog, Cody returned home. “It was a pre-cursor to what happened to us,” says Ben, not-ing that after returning the icon to their church they purchased a fam-ily one. “Twice we were compelled to pray. I’m glad we didn’t lose faith.”

people who abide by Christian values, such as keeping sex within marriage. What’s the point of hav-ing an expressly Christian organi-zation if the people within it open-ly defy its values? Would the ACLU be comfort-able hiring someone who opposes abortion on demand or homo-sexual “marriage”? How about an anti-porn advocate? In Missouri, the American Hu-manist Association is threatening to sue because one recruit was made uncomfortable when he spotted some donated Gideon Bibles on a shelf at a National Guard intake center in St. Louis. Maybe the recruit would benefit from a stint in a country not yet influenced by Christianity’s unique respect for individual rights. The ACLU is the point of the

spear, legally speaking, of a larger leftist campaign to fundamentally transform America into a place where fornication of any kind un-der the sun trumps all other hu-man rights. It’s the only freedom we’ll have left after they establish government-enforced diversity re-education to stamp out anything resembling traditional religious values. Achieving diversity used to mean ending discrimination based on race, ethnicity or other immuta-ble characteristics. Now it means dividing people into groups based on grievances and then constant-ly inflaming those sore points. Google the “war on women” for more details. For good measure, anyone re-sisting this onslaught is said to be “obsessed” with it, as though the activists demanding a wholesale moral meltdown are, by contrast, only casually involved.

In his classic, “The Screwtape Letters,” C.S. Lewis’ professorial devil instructs his demon nephew that in order to make it easier to steal souls, “All extremes except extreme devotion to [God] are to be encouraged. Not always, of course, but at this period. “Some ages are lukewarm and complacent, and then it is our business to soothe them yet faster asleep. Other ages, of which the present is one, are unbalanced and prone to faction, and it is our business to inflame them.” For decades, the ACLU has been reading the devil’s mail and acting accordingly. They’ve learned only too well how to “impose their beliefs on others.” Robert Knight is an author, se-nior fellow for the American Civil Rights Union Union and a colum-nist for The Washington Times.

the Officers moving in, began fran-tically tossing items she’d hidden in her purse onto various shelves in the store. Those items were recovered, and the Officer asked the woman about the shoplifting. She claimed her 1 1/2 year old child was to blame, saying the child had grabbed the items off the shelves and put them in her purse. The woman... let’s call her Amie Marie, because that’s her name... still had a package of air freshener and a package of glue sticks hidden in her purse. She was walked outside the store and ar-rested for shoplifting. Her baby daddy was called to come and secure the woman’s car, a black Ford Fusion. He arrived, and when he opened the door, an Officer spotted a plastic baggie in the door handle indent, in plain view. The baggie contained mari-juana, so a search of the car was performed, and a larger bag of

pot was found, weighing about an ounce. He also found a couple of prescription pills in another plastic baggie. The baby daddy decided to leave the store with his child in his own vehicle, and the woman’s Ford Fusion was towed from the scene because the doors’ locks didn’t work, and she had a good bit of personal property inside the car. The woman, Amie Marie, was taken to jail on charges of shoplift-ing, possession of prescription pills not in their original container, and possession of marijuana. (Walks around the store eating candy she didn’t pay for, throws the wrappers on the floor, and blames it on her baby! Don’t expect any Mother of the Year awards!)• At 4:15pm, Officers responded to Motel 6 where a pregnant His-panic woman had claimed she was being assaulted by her boyfriend. When the Officers arrived, the woman said she hadn’t actually been assaulted, she’d only been in a verbal argument with her boyfriend, and that she called 911 and claimed she was in a fight so that she could get her boyfriend to leave, which he’d done by that time. She told the Officers she didn’t have any ID on her, so she

gave a name and date of birth, which didn’t show up in the sys-tem. She tried another name, which still didn’t show up. Finally, she provided them with her real name, which was confirmed in the system. She was then arrested and charged with giving false informa-tion to a law enforcement Officer and unlawful conduct during a 911 call.• Fire Department personnel no-

Lo, there was a great earth-quake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it; his appearance was as lightening and his clothes were as white as snow. For fear of him, the guards trembled and became as dead men.

And the angel said to the women, “Be not afraid I know that you seek Jesus of Naza-reth who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here. Why seek the living among the dead? Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Gali-lee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful man and be crucified and on the third day rise again.’ Come now and see that place where He lay. (Then they remembered His words.)”

“Go quickly and tell His disciples and Peter that He is risen from the dead, and lo, He goes before you into Galilee. There, you will see Him as He told you.”

Some went away with fear and trembling and said noth-ing because they were afraid. Others went away quickly with fear and great joy and ran to tell the disciples.Visit us at Guido Gardens, Metter, GA

I can remember times of great trials in my life. I can remember times when things seemed more “overwhelming” in my life than others. These are the very things, that when they were all over... were trials from which I ultimately re-ceived an attitude of gratitude. Be-ing free from the pain, the worry, the bother, and the stress of these trials gave me great joy. I received a greater joy from the deliverance from the more difficult situations, than from my deliverance from of less significant trials and distress-es. Therefore, I was more thankful, and I praised God more. Now, I can say that I “remem-ber the time when…”, telling my story to someone who is in a simi-lar life struggle. Amazingly, what the devil meant for harm…what he

meant to use to destroy me, tried to use to cause doubt in God or in my faith… brought forth the strongest testimony, not to mention a heart full of gratitude and praise. Christian, when Satan brings a storm, devastation, or heartache into your life, he has just shot himself in the foot! God is a good and merciful God. His Word tells us that His truth endures forever. What He has told us He will do, He will do. God is a God of promise, and He is not a man that He should lie! “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19 (KJV) Trials in your life may feel big-ger than you are right now. Rejoice in knowing that the promises of God are true and that from them

(and I cannot tell you how or when) will emerge a great testi-mony that you will be able to use to encourage others and to point them to God. They are glorious stories that you will tell your chil-dren and your children’s children. These are stories that will demon-strate God’s faithfulness… stories that solidify your faith, stories that are a testament of God’s attributes and character, stories that will strengthen others… stories that can be passed on from generation to generation. Satan, when you mess with a child of God, you just messed up! “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him and bless His Name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all genera-tions.” Psalm 100:4-5 (KJV)

SATAN…YOU JUST MESSED UP!

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” -James 1:22 In 1953, reporters gathered at a Chicago railway station waiting to meet the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize winner. He was a big man, well over six feet tall, with bushy hair and a large mustache. Reporters were excited to see him and expressed what an honor it was to meet him. Cameras were flashing, compliments were being

expressed when, looking beyond the adulation, the visitor saw an elderly black woman struggling to carry her two large suitcases. “Excuse me,” he said as he went to the aid of this woman. Picking up her cases, he escorted her to a bus and then apologized to the reporters for keeping them waiting. The man was Dr. Albert Sch-weitzer, the famous missionary-doctor who had invested his life

helping poor and sick people in Africa. A member of the reception committee remarked to one of the reporters, “That’s the first time I ever saw a sermon walking.” The measure of any man or woman is not their name, nor their fame, nor what they say, but what they do. “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive your-selves. Do what it says!”

A Sermon Walking

Many parents offer their chil-dren choices using the small word if. You may have some ice cream if you finish your vegetables. You can go to your friend’s home if you clean up your room. I will give you the keys to the car if you promise to be home by ten. The reward sounds too good to be true, but there is that little word that puts a damper on things. There is some-thing the recipient has to do be-fore receiving the desired reward. There is a decision to be made and an action to be taken. God makes many promises in His word. Being the wisest of all

parents, He too gives us choices. We have decisions to make and we have responsibilities to adhere to in order to receive our rewards: “If you do well, will you not be accepted and if you do not do well, sin lies at the door and its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”Gen. 4:7 “If you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God to observe care-fully all His commands which I com-mand you today, the Lord will set you high above all nations.” Deut. 28:1 “If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, pray, seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear their prayer, forgive their sins and heal their land.” II Chron. 7:14 “If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it will be done.” John 15:7 Our human tendency is to sa-vor the promises but to completely ignore that small word if. Then, when things go awry in our lives,

we ask why? Didn’t God promise to bless us, to be with us, to be our Shepherd and rescue us? Why hasn’t He kept His word? Perhaps the answer lies in the other half of the statement God made. Perhaps we need to go back to the word and thoroughly study what He said. If we are obedient, if we forgive others their sin, if we resist temptation, if we love our neighbors as ourselves, if we hum-ble ourselves before God and seek His face. If, if, if. God is faithful to His word but we too have our part to uphold. It is best for us not to ignore that small word if because the impact will be mighty -- either for our good or to our detriment. ‘If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

By John Ransom Call it over-reach, hubris, ar-rogance; call it what you will, but for all practical purposes Obama’s presidency and experimentation in transformative politics is over. Oh sure; we’ll have four more years of strident rhetoric, of eva-sions, of ruses and stratagems. Obama’s nothing if not persis-tent. He wants to be the guy who transformed America -in fact, moved it on the path toward the socialist, state-sponsored model of Europe. He might even be the guy who recognizes that only under a “dictatorship of the proletariat” or some modern version of it, will African-Americans enjoy anything like real power as a minority group that represents only about 13 per-cent of the population. But his re-election didn’t change the fact that his power to change things is still limited right now. Much of his presidency has been the story of Obama not being able to come to grips with that very fact. So instead of using the legiti-

mate mechanisms granted a presi-dent to get things done, Obama pushes and bullies from above to try to accomplish what he can’t un-der the law. No nation can undergo a per-manent revolution from above. Especially a nation that essentially remains one of the most free, just and tolerant societies ever created. Eventually the 99 percent who aren’t bused-in, paid-to-protest, or paid to act as a political commis-sariat disguised as government em-ployees, asks to be let alone. At least that’s the way it works in America. The United States of America today is not the turn-of-the-Centu-ry Russia of 1917. It’s not even Victorian England. It’s not even the United States of America of the 1950’s. While racial and gender equal-ity is not perfect in the US, nobody can argue with a straight face that, in the main, everyone doesn’t have a shot at the American Dream. Not an equal shot to be sure, but even Franklin Roosevelt under-stood that government couldn’t or shouldn’t protect everyone from all the circumstances that life brings. Obama’s problem, then, essen-tially, is one that he readily rec-ognizes: “This is something I’ve struggled with throughout my presidency,” said Obama in a mo-ment that could have been spon-sored by the Contemporary Freud-ian Society. “The problem is that I’m the president of the United States. I’m not the emperor of the United States.” Yes, that is his problem, but it’s our problem too. As Democrats busy themselves with disarming the population, state by state, to distract from the poor economic record amassed

by Obama and his liberal friends, “Americans are still worried about government being a threat to free-dom,” reported Gallup. “The 64% of Americans who say big govern-ment will be the biggest threat to the country is just one percentage point shy of the record high.” In the meantime, something that really makes a difference in all of our lives- inflation-- is heating up. So expect higher prices still. The result will almost certainly be higher unemployment, as we have correctly demonstrated again, and again. Add in runaway health-care costs, which Obamcare - now four years old- was supposed to fix, higher taxes on everyone, and more taxes to come and you get the idea why the job “emperor” seems so much more appealing to Obama, than being a weak, ineffec-tive president. His tax increase was the high water mark. Obamacare was the lowest of the low. Because re-election returns aside, Obama is still much more mouth than magic. Nothing he’s done has actually worked. And we know from history that it won’t work. You could give Obama a trillion dollars and he still couldn’t create a credible recovery. Yes, that’s right we tried that al-ready. And that’s why it will never happen again. So, all Obama has left is his desire to be a Napoleon, while trapped in an intellect 5’2’’ tall, a permanent bully from above that truly is beneath us.

MORE MOUTH THAN MAGIC

tified Police that they’d found a baby inside a car parked at BiLo, with no adults around. An Officer went into the store and had them page the owner of the black Hon-da Accord to return to the parking lot. Soon, a man and woman came out, and the Officer asked if that was their baby. They said it was, and that they’d forgotten about him when they got out to go inside and do their grocery shopping. They were arrested and taken to jail on Reckless Conduct charges, while the baby was turned over to another family member. (I can understand forgetting to bring in a bag of groceries, or forgetting to bring my wallet with me, but how do you forget your baby, and leave him alone inside a hot car?!!)

PoliceReports By Angie Usher

http://peningodshand.blogspot.com/

In 2010, Esther Grace Sim-mons was sitting on the long front porch of her family home that was built by her grandfather built in 1955, reminiscing about the good old days of her youth. As she en-joyed the shade of the big oak that graces the porch of the Isle of Hope home, she was inspired to write a poem that would encourage teens who are growing up in the very dif-ferent and difficult society of today. In a short time, Simmons had completed a poem dedicated to crime victims. Less than a week later, she was asked to recite “Teens Trying to Prevent Crime in Ameri-ca” at a local church’s candlelight vigil during a community event in Savannah, which was video-taped and later broadcast on YouTube. Soon after that, the poem was pub-lished in the Savannah Tribune. “I guess the rest is history,” said Sim-mons. “The next thing I knew, the poem had become the inspiration for a country song.” Last year, a representative from Hilltop Records viewed Simmons’ recitation of the poem on Youtube and contacted her for permission to use her work in music form on the cd, “America”. “I granted (Hilltop Records) permission, and a contract was sent last year for me to sign. This past Monday, I opened my mailbox to find a copy of the cd,” Simmons shared. Performed by Cody Lyons, “Teens trying to Prevent Crime in

America” is the sixth song listed on the cd, and is the first of Sim-mons’ work to be recorded and re-leased by a recording company. As a prolific songwriter and vocalist, Simmons has shared this (poem) as well as a number of songs on her website. There, one can find performances of her original songs, which include “Do You Believe?”, “You Can Survive”, and “My Best Friend”. Other recordings include “Wind Beneath My Wings”, which Simmons has dedicated to military personnel around the world. Music has always been a big part of her life, and there always seems to be a song in her heart. Simmons also authored a book of poems entitled, Esther’s Book of Original and Inspirational Poetry, which was also published in 2010. “As one can see in my book, I have been writing for a long time,” she said, “but I never thought about making ‘Teens Trying to Prevent

Crime in America’ a song. I guess it was just meant to be,” Simmons concluded. Simmons hopes that as a song, its message will become wide-spread, and be taken to heart. “I want all young people to know that nobody is perfect, and that we all make mistakes. Teens need to be encouraged by their parents and other adult role models to be the best that they can be,” stated Simmons, adding, “As productive members of society, they can help prevent crime in America.” The newly released cd, “Amer-ica”, which features “Teens Trying to Prevent Crime in America”, will soon be targeted in local businesses and record stores. Currently, it is being sold on Hilltop Records on-line for $12.99. The song, which recently received air time on local radio station, WRHQ, 105.3, can be purchased at www.hilltopre-cords.com.

Copies of Simmons’ book may also be purchased for $10 at E. Shaver Booksellers, which is lo-cated behind the Desoto Hilton in historic Savannah, as well as in Ye Olde Herbal Shoppe on Martin Lu-ther King Boulevard. For more in-formation concerning Simmons or to purchase her works, visit www.esthergsimmons.com.

TEENS TRYING TO PREVENT CRIME IN AMERICA

home had been dedicated to the Lord. If it hadn’t, he would gather a small congregation and meet at the willing participant’s house on a Saturday night. There, someone would give a biblical lesson or preach a sermon, a song would be sung, and Tom would offer a prayer of dedication. Some in my home area are still living in a house that has been dedicated to the Lord by Tom. There were several times that I was the one called on to speak. I learned so much from him. I laugh now when I think about how he would “horse trade” with me. But he was doing so much more than “horse trading.” He was growing up a young man. He was teaching me the cunning ways of the world and the caring ways of the Lord and he was not doing it with something that might have caused me to run away. But he was doing it with something that caused me to want to be around him and something that we both

loved; a knife.

One of the tools of those who love the outdoors is a knife. There has always been something special about getting a new knife. I see that same satisfaction in my son. He owns several and is never unhappy when he receives another. It’s almost a rite of passage when a young man gets his first. Some weaker types cringe at the thought of their son having a knife. I cringe at the thought of them cringing over such a common and natural thing. I have several warm memories of my youth experiences with knives. One of them involved Tom. Tom was a man in his upper seventies and I was only a teenager. Tom was wise and crafty. I was dumb and naive. Tom had more knives than I could ever imagine. Some of them use to be mine until he traded me out of them. At that time, I thought that I had made the smarter trade. Today I know different. Tom couldn’t read or write but had more common sense and wisdom than most of the people I knew. He was also a very spiritual man. His ministry involved making sure that each

boat ramp around 9am, and re-turned with his boat at around 3pm. as he got ready to pull out on Hwy 144, he saw that his fuel guage was showing his tank was nearly empty. He called Deputies, and they remembered an ear-lier report from the same location where the victim’s gas tank had been pumctured by a drill. So they checked this man’s gas tank a little closer, and found that it, too, had a small drilled hole in his gas tank. The man had to call a friend to come and get his boat and boat trailer.

EFFINGHAM COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE• Just a little before midnight, a Deputy was walking out of the Parker’s store in Guyton when a silver Mazda pulled in. He watched as a man got out and stumbled past him. The Deputy could smell the alcohol on the man, and not-ed his face was flush and his eyes were bloodshot and watery. He

waited for the man to come back out of the store, and then asked him to come and speak with him. He asked if he’d been drinking, and the man said he hadn’t, add-ing that he was the designated driver for his wife and friend, both of whom appeared to be very inebriated inside the vehicle. The Deputy asked him to submit to the field sobriety tests, and picked up several clues during the follow-the-pen test. The man then began emptying his pockets and stated that he was going to jail because he knew he was over a point eight. And he was right, as he blew a .17, twice the legal limit. He was taken to jail for DUI and Public Drunkenness. Another family member was called to come and pick up the man’s wife and friend.• Deputies arrived at a Rincon residence to serve an outstand-ing warrant on a man, and caught him climbing out the front bed-room window. He was ordered to squeeze back inside through the window, and was then taken to jail.• A little after 2am, a Deputy was at the Parker’s, parked at the gas pumps, when he saw two vehicles pull in and park beside each other on the side of the building.

SPORTS BRIEFS

2014 Pre-Season: Part TwoBy Roddy E. Nixon, Jr.

Well, my friends, our Falcons secured a victory over Miami this past Friday night. There were good points and bad in the game but overall, the team is showing prog-ress towards being more physical and establishing depth. Those were the two key points I was watching for and will be doing the same as they travel to Houston this week-end to face the Texans. The first team offense looked great. The principles of a West Coast offense as well as a zone blocking theme were on display and looked nice. There were a few penalties from rookie RT Jake Mat-thews, but I am not worried. The young man looked good most of the night and will be a long term asset for this franchise. RW84 looks to be at full strength and HD83 looks great in the slot. Do not read too much into Rodgers at running back and I still

say we have the back of the future in my FSU guy, Devonta Freeman. A lot of folks are still concerned about the ability to push Joe Haw-ley around in the middle of the line. To that end, I was impressed with what I saw out of third team center, rookie James Stone. Keep an eye on the center position as the preseason goes on. Defensively, I am on record as being officially AGAINST this 4-2-5 scheme. As I sat in section 209 and watched, I saw too many open holes in the second and third lev-els of the defense. Our LB corps is fast but they are also still VERY young and growing. I think that we FINALLY have the pieces in place to run a VERY effective and VERY physical 4-3 scheme. The pass rush is still an area of concern; do not expect much out of the defensive end combo of Biermann and Babs if those are our starters at defensive end. Second team defensive line was very impressive as Massaquoi stood out to me. Prince Shembo also showed great range and speed.

I’m sorry that they cut Castillo the kicker. That dude looked nice; I hope that they keep him on speed dial because the team will be look-ing a free agency situation next spring at both kicker and punter. Backup QBs Renfree and Yates will be a very interesting battle to watch. I like Renfree a lot but Yates was brought here for a reason and I think he will win the #2 QB job. Grades: Offensive line: B+; Running backs: B+; WR: B; Tight end: (Pascoe – B+); QB: B+; Defen-sive line: B-; LB: C; CB: B-; FS/SS: B-. On to Houston and a game against the rebuilt Texans: See you next week!! Falcons 27, Texans 10.

FALCONS REPORT

driver appeared reluctant to exit his vehicle, and then backed out and pulled out northbound on Hwy 21. The Deputy followed him a short distance, and then activat-ed his emergency lights to make a traffic stop. The driver made a U-turn at Chimney Road and went back to Parker’s. The Deputy asked the man to step out of his car, and noticed a laceeration on his nose and saw that his cheek was red and swol-len. He asked what had happened, and the man said he’d been at a bar in Pooler and got assaulted by a man who thought he was violat-ing his girlfriend. The Deputy then asked if he’d been drinking, and the man said he’d had a couple of beers. A check with dispatch revealed the man’s license was a limited permit for driving to work only due to a previous DUI. He was taken into custody at that point for driving in violation of the conditions of his permit. The Deputy then had him blow into an alcosensor, which

didn’t register enough to earn the man a second DUI. (What’s the deal with the Deputies gathering at Parker’s? Have they got a buy one, get one free donut program?!!)• A Rincon man told Deputies he left his house around 9am to go to town to pay some bills. He re-turned around noon and found that someone had stolen his lawn

mower from his shed. The Deputy noted that the shed, and all the items inside, is visible from the road, and suggested that he put up some kind of barrier so the items couldn’t be seen.• A man caught seven brim one af-ternoon last week. He told Depu-Continued from page B2

ties he’d gone out to his mailbox to get his mail and his newspaper, and found that someone had put the dead fish in his mailbox. He can’t think of anyone he’s made mad lately who would’ve done that...• A young woman had just moved into her brand new apartment, and the power was already on. She was given a time limit to get the power transferred under her name, so she met with Georgia Power to get that done. They in-formed her they couldn’t transfer the power into her name until she paid off the balance of over $700 from her previous residence/ac-count. However, the woman had never lived at the address where the power bill was unpaid. A fraud investigation has begun by Geor-gia Power and Effingham Depu-ties. (Gotta feel sorry for a young woman, just got her first apart-ment, and then has the hassle of identity theft to ruin it for her!)• A Springfield woman called Dep-uties after she walked out in her yard and discovered that six of her “No Trespassing” signs had been stolen from her yard. She suspects that teenagers in her neighbor-hood have been using her above ground pool in her backyard with-out her knowledge or permission.• Deputies responded to a Spring-field home for a report of a domes-tic disturbance. The woman there said her husband got mad when

she closed the back door, and they began to scuffle. She showed them a brief video clip of her hus-band in what appeared to be an agitated state. Then they spoke with her husband, who had a bloody lip. They asked about that, and he explained that his wife had hit him in the face with a kitchen chair. The Deputies advised them to seperate for the night and to go to the Courthouse to file warrants.• A convenience store manager reviewed the store surveillance video and saw an employee tak-ing items from the store and put-ting them in her car shortly after she, the manager, had left. The employee wasn’t bothering to pay

for the items, so she’s been sus-pended and will be charged with theft by taking after the Deputies complete their investigation.

He also finished with seven tackles for loss. He had at least 10 tackles in five different games including 13 stops in a 12-10 win over 11th ranked Richmond and 10 tackles the following week

in a 3-0 victory over 8th ranked Wofford. Burch also had 10 tackles in a 27-10 win over No. 12 Charleston Southern.
