Three years ago,

Lafayette Christian

School on Hamilton

Rd. purchased 53acres adjacent to

campus with the

vision of developing

an Athletic Complex.

As the school has

grown, so has the

need for this addi-

tion. Fourteen sportsteams schedule prac-

tices and competi-

tions using one field

and a gymnasium on

campus! Once com-

pleted, the Athletic

Complex will

include fields for

eleven-man football,

soccer, baseball,

softball and tennis

courts.

Because of theimpact Lafayette

Christian School is

making on our com-

munity, Callaway

Foundation has

approved a $600,000

matching grant

towards this project.

This means that,with support of fam-

ilies, friends, and

community, con-

struction will begin

this Spring!

Scheduled to be

completed by Fall

2016, the first phase

includes the

soccer/football field,

track, field house

(containing conces-

sions, restrooms,locker rooms, as well

as athletic offices

and equipment stor-

age), parking and

site preparations for

tennis, softball and

baseball.

The AthleticProgram is instru-

mental in helping

Lafayette Christian

School accomplish

its mission of edu-

cating and inspiring

this generation to

impact the culture

and future" as con-

firmed by a recent

correspondence froma parent: "I wanted

to drop you a note of

encouragement let-

ting you know how

much LCS and its

football team... have

meant to my sons. I

wanted to particular-

ly mention thecoaching staff, the

character of which

speaks volumes of

the school.

They are not only...

building a quality

football program, but

doing it with

honor...and focus on

The Lord... LCS asa school is a credit to

the community, and

your ministry makes

a difference in so

many families'

lives."

Joshua 4:21 And he spake unto

the children of Israel, saying,

When your children shall ask

their fathers in time to come,

saying, What mean these

stones?

We Christians need to be

ready to answer any questions

our children ask us. We need

to be ready to witness for our

LORD anytime, to anybody.

There will come a time when

we will be questioned; why

we go to church, what do that

cross mean, and, tell me the

story of Jesus.

Could you answer those three

simple questions friends?

The LORD , in this verse,

was telling Joshua that folks

need a reminder. We need

something to remind us of

who we are and where we

came from. Like wise, we

should remember what wewere and where our LORD

has brought us from. God

told Joshua to pile up twelve

stones to remember the

twelve tribes of Israel cross-

ing the Jordan river on dry

land.

We need something to remind

us of what God has done for

us. Many churches give out a

certificate to newly baptized

converts. Trophies are given

when a certain level of

growth or goal or study hasbeen reached.

Those are reminders of what

a person has accomplished.

I wear a small silver cross on

a necklace to remind me of

three things; first, Jesus is in

my heart, second, to bear (or

carry) my cross and live for

Jesus every day, finally, it

reminds me that Jesus died on

a cross, was buried and arose

leaving that cross empty.

Do you have anything toremind you of the work Jesus

has done in you?

God Bless,

Walter D. Hill D. Min.

You Know

Youre A Bad

Cook When...

You use the smoke alarm as a

cooking timer.

You consider it a culinary suc-

cess if the pop-tart stays in one

piece.

Your dog goes to the neigh-

bors' to eat.

Your family buys Alka Seltzer

and Kaopectate in bulk.

When you barbecue, two of

your kids hold water guns andthe third stands ready by the

phone with 911 on speed-dial.

Your family automatically

heads for the dinner table

every time they hear a fire

truck siren.

The EPA insists that all your

garbage cans be marked with

biohazard symbols.

Your microwave display reads"TILT!"

Your two best recipes are

meatloaf and apple pie, but

your dinner guests can't tell

which is which.

Your pie filling bubbles over

and eats the enamel off the bot-

tom of the oven.

You've used three boxes of

scouring pads and a bottle ofDrano and a crowbar, and that

macaroni and cheese still won't

let go of the pan.

Pest control companies keep

pestering you for your recipes.

14/20

The burly miner blinked as he

left the dark interior of the coal

mine. Stopping at a faucet near

the mine entrance, he washed

the worst of the grime from his

face and hands, then headedtowards his home on the out-

skirts of the village. As he

trudged along the dusty lane, he

passed the open door of a little

church. Inside, a small crowd

listened intently as an energetic

man gesticulated from the pul-

pit. Interested, the miner

stepped to the door.

"Absolute surrender is what we

must have," the minister was

saying. "Are you willing to sur-render yourself absolutely into

His hand? If not, you are not

ready to meet your God." The

minister paced back and forth

on the platform. "We do not

know how much longer our

earthly probation will last.

Tonight you are living; tomor-

row may be too late. Ask your-

self, I beg of you, 'Am I ready

to meet the Lord?'"

The miner, touched to the

quick, slipped into the back

pew. I am not ready to meet

God, he thought. I have lived a

careless, godless life. How can

I make peace with Him? The

meeting ended, and the peoplefiled out. Still the miner

remained in the pew, his head

in his hands.

Finally, the minister touched

him on the shoulder. "Brother,

are you ready to meet the

Lord?"

Blindly, the miner shook his

head. "I know I am not. Oh,

help me find peace!"

An hour passed as the minister

shared the plan of salvation; yet

something held the miner back

from full surrender.

"It's getting late," the minister

finally said. "Go home, and

continue to seek the Lord."

The miner shook his head."Stay

with me a little longer; it must

be settled tonight."

Once again the minister

explained the way of salvation

and prayed, but in vain.

Another hour passed.

"You must go home," the min-

ister told him. "It's late, and I

cannot make it any clearer."

"It must be settled tonight," the

miner repeated,his eyes burning

with earnestness.

"Then we shall stay here

together," the minister agreed.

Once more he spoke of Jesus,

and shared promise after prom-

ise. Once more he prayed, but

in vain. "I must go," the minis-

ter finally said. "It will soon be

morning. Go home, and return

tomorrow night. Maybe thenyou will find peace."

"Sir, I cannot leave this place

until I find peace."

The poor man's voice trembled.

"Tomorrow may be too late. It

must be settled tonight."

The minister could not resist

his appeal. "By the help of

God." he said, "it shall be set-

tled tonight."

Again he explained the steps of

conversion; again he prayed. As

he spoke, the miner broke into

sobs and tears, and at last the

light pierced his darkness.

"I see it!" he cried. "I give

myself absolutely to God, to

His will, to do only what He

wants. It is settled.

Praise His name, it is settled!"

The two men knelt again, butthis time to thank God for

bringing light to a sinner's soul.

The next morning the miner

went to work as usual. During

the day he was sent to a distant

part of the mine to fetch some

tools. When he did not return,

his fellow workers went to look

for him. They found that the

mine walls had caved in on

him, and he was buried in the

debris. Working with pick andshovel, they began to dig.

Finally, from the fragments of

rock and rubbish and stone

which hid him from sight, came

a faint sound: "Tonight ----

would have been ---- too late.

Thank God ---- it was settled --

-- last night!"

Possession

That which we had we still

possess,

Though leaves may drop and

stars may fall;

No circumstance can make itless

Or take it from us, all in all.

That which is lost we did not

own;

We only held it for a day--

A leaf by careless breezes

blown:

No fate could take our own

away.

I hold it as a changeless law

From which no soul can ever

sway or swerve,

We have that in us which

will draw

Whate'er we need or most

deserve.

Even as the magnet to the

steel

Our souls are to the best

desires;

The Fates have hearts and

they can feel--They know what each true

heart requires.

We think we lose when most

we gain;

We call joys ended ere

begun;

When stars fade out do skies

complain,

Or glory in the rising sun?

No fate could rob us of our

own--

No circumstance can make it

less;

What time removes was but a

loan,

For what was ours we still

possess.


17/20

A little girl had been shop-

ping with her Mom in Target.

She must have been 6 years

old, this beautiful red haired,

freckle faced image of inno-

cence. It was pouring outside.The kind of rain that gushes

over the top of rain gutters,

so much in a hurry to hit the

earth it has no time to flow

down the spout. We all stood

there under the awning and

just inside the door of the

Target.

We waited, some patiently,

others irritated because nature

messed up their hurried day. I

am always mesmerized by

rainfall. I got lost in the

sound and sight of the heav-

ens washing away the dirt

and dust of the world.

Memories of running, splash-

ing so carefree as a child

came pouring in as a wel-

come reprieve from the wor-

ries of my day.

The little voice was so sweet

as it broke the hypnotictrance we were all caught in,

"Mom, let's run through the

rain," she said. "What?" Mom

asked.

"Let's run through the rain!"

She repeated.

"No, honey. We'll wait until it

slows down a bit," Mom

replied.

This young child waited

about another minute and

repeated, "Mom, let's run

through the rain."

"We'll get soaked if we do,"

Mom said.

"No, we won't, Mom. That's

not what you said this morn-

ing," the young girl said as

she tugged at her Mom's arm.

"This morning? When did I

say we could run through the

rain and not get wet?"

" Don't you remember? When

you were talking to Daddy

about his cancer, you said, 'If

God can get us through this,

he can get us through any-

thing!'"

The entire crowd stopped

dead silent. I swear you

couldn't hear anything but the

rain. We all stood silently. No

one came or left in the next

few minutes. Mom paused

and thought for a moment

about what she would say.

Now some would laugh it off

and scold her for being silly.

Some might even ignore whatwas said. But this was a

moment of affirmation in a

young child's life. A time

when innocent trust can be

nurtured so that it will bloom

into faith.

"Honey, you are absolutely

right. Let's run through the

rain. If God let's us get wet,

well maybe we just needed

washing," Mom said.

Then off they ran. We all

stood watching, smiling and

laughing as they darted past

the cars and yes, through the

puddles. They held their

shopping bags over their

heads just in case. They got

soaked. But they were fol-

lowed by a few who

screamed and laughed like

children all the way to their

cars.

And yes, I did. I ran. I got

wet. I needed washing.

Circumstances or people can

take away your material pos-

sessions, they can take away

your money, and they can

take away your health. But no

one can ever take away your

precious memories... So, don'tforget to make time and take

opportunities to make memo-

ries everyday. To everything

there is a season and a time to

every purpose under heaven.

I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE

THE TIME TO RUN

THROUGH THE RAIN.

Heres What Our Advertisers Have To Say...As a new business owner in LaGrange, I believe one of my better decisions was the one I made to meet with Bill Lowe and allow him to design an ad to put in the

Banner about my business, Curves of LaGrange. Apparently, a lot of women read the Banner because the phone calls started coming in from women who said they saw

our ad in the Banner. Since that started we have been voted the number # 1 Weight Loss Center in LaGrange. Our membership has grown so much that the Corporate

Office of Curves International sent us an e-mail stating that in the states of Georgia, South Carolinia and Tenn. we were in the third place for membership growth in

2014. Thank you to Bill and his staff at the Banner.

- Nancy Sue Laminack, Curves Of LaGrange

The Banner really helps me out. It is the place where people look for deals. They often bring a copy of the Banner with them when they shop. It has been around for a

long time (since 1999), and has proven to be well worth the money to advertise.

- John Parker, Badcock & More Home Furnishings

Since we've been advertising in the Troup County Banner, our business has more than doubled! Having an advertisement in a locally-produced publication that reaches

more homes than any other has been great for our business!

- Chris Hagebak, 809 Gallery Of Art

I have been advertising with the Banner for over 10 years, not once have I been pressured. I always recommend the Banner as I have seen many results over the years.

Its always nice to hear I saw your ad in the Banner". Local, nice and honest people!
