HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT FWD (Page 2)
Dallas, Texas-In these days
when you have to stretch your
dollars as far as you can let me
recommend the new Hyundai
Santa Fe Sport FWD 2.4. We are
talking about a vehicle that gets
29 miles per gallon. We want
you to know we are talking
about room, style and economy
as well as good quality pricing.
We took this vehicle to Dallas
and rounded out about 600 miles
and still managed to save a few
dollars as well. We didn’t have
to stop for fuel nor were we
empty when got to big D. When
it comes to comfort we were
impressed with the new Santa Fe
because it was pleasantly more
room than the previous models.
Over the years Hyundai has put
together a much better product
as a co-worker of mine has the
smaller model and he is truly
impressed with it as it hits 30
thousands trouble free miles.
The new Santa Fe also has
America’s best warranty with
five-year/60,000 mile New
Vehicle warranty with 10-
year/100,000 mile power train
warranty along with seven-
year/unlimited mile anti-perfora-
tion warranty and throw in five-
year/unlimited mile roadside
assistance. Now that’s standing
behind your product!
Our Moonstone Silver vehicle
with gray interior was a head
turner during our week long trip.
With 53% of its products from
Korea and 47 from the United
States and Canada, the Santa Fe
has the best of both worlds. Both
engine and transmission are U S
built with the final assembly
point in West Point, Georgia.
Hyundai reports over a five year
period estimate owners could
save up to $600 over other new
vehicles. We can safely say it
saved us around $60.00 on our
trip. The 2.4 liter gasoline direct
injection engine is four-cylinder
and cranks out 190 horsepower
at 6300 RPM and 181 lbs per
foot of torque at 4250 RPM.
This engine is mated to a six-
speed automatic transmission
with shift tronic and active eco
system.
Inside you are treated to soft
stain resistance cloth seats with
40/20/40 split folding rear seats.
The instrument cluster is filled
with easy to read normal size
gauges and the knobs are right at
the driver’s finger tips. There is
every driver selectable steering
modes and steering wheel
mounted cruise, audio and phone
controls. The steering wheel is
tilt telescopic which is some-
thing else you expect to see on a
more expensive SUV. Let us not
forget we are talking about just
over $26,000 here.
When it comes to safety we
remind you the new Hyundai has
Vehicle stability Program along
with electronic stability control
with traction control with ABS
and electronic brake force distri-
bution and brake assist as well.
Remember we are speaking
about a vehicle that barely hits
$25,000 now.
Sounds comes from an
AM/FM/CD/MP3 with iPod and
USB ports with aux inputs com-
plete with 90-day free trial of
Sirius Satellite radio and capa-
bility for Bluetooth with hands
free phone setup as well.
There are very few options on
this vehicle; fact is they totaled
only $825.00 including heated
exterior mirrors and power driv-
er seat with lumbar support and
leather wrapped steering wheel
and gear shift knob to name a
few.
In closing please allow me to
add it also had roof side rails
and fog lamps as a couple of
those options. But at $26,000
you owe it to yourself to check it
out before you buy!

A KING-SIZE VIEW
The 2013 Santa Fe Sport FWD 2.4 a lot of vehicle for the money
One of the first Japanese vehi-
cles to make it big in America is
getting more and more American
these days. The Accord 2 door
EX-L with a V6 is finally
assembled in Marysville, Ohio.
Plus 65% of its parts are from
the United States and Canada
with only 25% of its parts actu-
ally coming from Japan. Fact is
the new 278 horsepower 3.5
Liter SOHC 24-valve I-VTEC
V6 Earth Dreama with Variable
cylinder management engine is
built right in the US while the
six-speed automatic transmission
is built in Japan. This equates
into 21 miles in the city and 32
miles per gallon on the highway.
Power rolls to the pavement on
P235/45R 18-All season tires
circulating around 18 inch alloy
wheels.
The new Accord has paddler
shifters, 4-wheel disc brakes and
front Macpherson strut suspen-
sion with rear multi-link suspen-
sion. Throw in electric power
assist rack and pinion steering
and front and rear stabilizer bars.
As always the new Accord has a
long list of safety features that
includes driver side and front
passengers dual stage airbags
along with side airbags with
smart vent and side curtain
airbags with rollover sensors. It
even has forward collision warn-
ing but the thing that caught my
eye was when you put on the
right turn signal it actives the
rear side rear view mirror as if
it’s a backup camera and clearly
shows you into the next two
lanes. That is excellent for pass-
ing because it gives you a full
view up close without ever turn-
ing your head. Another first for
Honda as the Accord continues
to remain at the top of affordable
vehicles worldwide.
You already come to expect
good sounds from your Honda
Accord and this baby delivers
the goods. This unit is equipped
with a 360-watt
AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio touch
screen system with seven speak-
ers and steering wheel mounted
controls adding to your listening
pleasure, plus XM satellite
radio. The list of audio feature
continues with Bluetooth Hands
Free link and Pandora Internet
radio interface, USB audio inter-
face.
Our test vehicle came with a
price tag of just over $33,000
and only a couple of option.
This baby is basically standard
equipment from top to bottom
and is still one of the worlds’
finest automobiles.

A King-Size View is onlinewww.kingsizeview.com
In a day and time when most of
the world automakers are assem-
bling their products on American
soil, the Mazda 6 I Grand
Touring is still Japanese built.
The all-new 2014 with Skyactiv
Mazda 6 has 90% of its parts
from Japan including the engine
and transmission. The final
assembly point is Hofu, Japan
and this makes it one of our
country’s more complete
imports.
Our test vehicle came in a bright
Soul Red with Almond interior
and is powered by a G 2.5L
DOHC four-cylinder engine that
generates 184 horsepower with
185 lbs per foot of torque. The
engine is mated to a Skyactiv
Drive six-speed auto transmis-
sion. This combination produces
26 miles in the city and 38 on
the highway with a combine
mileage of 30 miles per gallon.
Fact is during our weeklong test
we only used slightly more than
a quarter of a tank of fuel.
With front wheel drive, the
Mazda 6 I Grand Touring grips
the road well and takes off like
you are going somewhere in a
hurry. The power smoothly
transforms to the pavement on P
225/R19” All Season tires makes
for a quality ride. Four-wheel
disc brakes bring this baby to a
swift and smooth stop.
Warranties include a bumper to
bumper 36 month/36,000 mile
warranty along with a 60 month/
60,000 mile power train warran-
ty along with 24-hour roadside
assistance.
Once you are inside the new
Mazda 6 you are treated to an
eight-way heated power driver
seat and a four-way heated
power front passenger seat. Plus
heated power outside mirrors
with auto dimming feature and
the inside rearview mirror is also
auto dimming. With a 5.8”
color touch screen you can con-
trol everything from the center
of the vehicle instrument cluster.
The Bose Sound system with 11
speakers gives you the feel of a
concern hall as you drive down
the road. USB audio input and
HD radio, Bluetooth hands free
phone along with a trip comput-
er to boot. The steering wheel is
leather wrapped and has mount-
ed controls.
On the safety side the new
Mazda comes with a full array
of airbags including front and
rear side curtains. Skyactiv Body
Ring Structure and rear cross
traffic alert rounds out the safe-
ty.
In closing please allow me to
add the Mazda 6 came with a
price tag of over $31,000,
immmm not bad!

Our King-Size Mover and
Shaker for the month May is
Julian Kaleb Gomez. Julian is
an extremely bright student/ath-
lete enrolled in the Vanguard
Program at Hamilton M.S.
At Hamilton M.S., Julian plays
football and is a member of the
track team. During my interview
of Julian, he stated that “he is
just like any other middle school
student, except he has to work
really hard to maintain his
grades and participate in sports”.
He enjoys going to the movies
and hanging out with his friends
at the malls.
Julian comes from a family of
athletes; his father is a fitness
trainer and former boxer. I asked
him what he liked about being
in the Vanguard Program at
Hamilton M.S. and he stated
that “his teachers and other
adults were kind and really care
about their progress”. He added
that “he has a lot of friends and
mentors at Hamilton M.S. but,
his biggest hero is his dad”.
When I asked him about his
future plans he stated that, “he
plans to go to USC and play
football for the Trojans”. He
also hopes to become a profes-
sional athlete or a famous Chef.

Over the next few months I
want to take you through, a high
level view of, a foundation
building exercise. This exercise
is not intended to be a secret
formula to leadership or success,
but yet is meant to be the spark
that unlocks the unlimited power
that is inside of you right now,
as you read this article. Once
this power begins to emerge,
leadership and success will be
the branches spawn from the
roots embedded within this
power.
These upcoming articles will
become your articles. These
writings will spark thought that
will become your writings,
therefore becoming your own
motivation in your own words.
You are the instrument of your
success and no one or nothing
on this earth can replace you in
your role as a person who can
make things happen for your life
and the lives of your family.
This foundation will require of
you to work toward complete
health, which I define as the
ability to change your condition
and the condition of the environ-
ment around you. Complete
health is a never-ending trip of
hills and mountains that cannot
start until you make a complete
excavation of your life, as you
know it. Be prepared to put
down the past (but never forget)
and pick up goals and the
knowledge of “YOU”. You are
great! there is no doubt about
this, but your greatness is yours,
only yours and can’t be com-
pared to anyone else’s success.
I will also talk about the only
two issues that will derail you in
this process. These two issues
present big obstacles and this is
because we figure out ways to
disguise them into smaller less
significant problems like “It
takes to long to learn” or “This
looks hard” or “What if I don’t
succeed” or “What will people
think” OR! OR! OR! OR!
This journey will hint at life
altering results because you will
begin to uncover misconceptions
that have held you at the starting
line waiting for the word go. If
you took time to read this arti-
cle, I believe that your focus is
already there. Now let the
Journey begin.

In Loving Memory of James E. McGinty
I have driven by it hundreds of
times. Every day as I pass down-
town I take a look and wonder
what it is and why it is there.
The best way to see it is while
heading east on I-10 just past the
railroad overpass and just before
I-45 take look to the left. You
will see four 20 foot tall busts
with the caption “A TRIBUTE
TO AMERICAN STATESMAN-
SHIP” on the bases. At first
glance I thought it was a repro-
duction of Mount Rushmore,
which I had the honor of view-
ing the year I graduated from
High School.
Take a closer look, though, and
you will realize that only two of
the statesmen are from the
mountainside in South Dakota.
The first is President and father
of our country, George
Washington is on the left. His
contribution to our way of life is
obvious.
Next to Washington is the image
of Abraham Lincoln. Possibly
one of our greatest Presidents
and statesmen, Lincoln is credit-
ed with freeing the slaves and
authored of the greatest speeches
we had to memorize in High
School including the Gettysburg
Address and the Emancipation
Proclamation.
On the real Mount Rushmore,
the two other images are of
Teddy Roosevelt and Thomas
Jefferson. David Adickes, cre-
ator of the Statesmanship Park
had other ideas. He included
Stephen F Austin and Sam
Houston. Any Texas should
know that Austin is considered
the Father of Texas. He was
appointed to be the first
Secretary of State when Texas
achieved statehood in 1836, but
only served for two months
before he died. Austin, a native
Virginian, is credited with early
colonization of the eastern part
of our great state.
The final bust in the park is that
of whom our city is named for;
Sam Houston. Houston defeated
Mexican General Santa Anna at
San Jacinto. He later went on to
become the first governor of
Texas. Originally from
Tennessee, Houston earned his
place in history for his contribu-
tion our state and city.
The plot of land, which is diffi-
cult to locate on Bingham Street
and Elder Drive, appears to be
the site of an old industrial
building. The foundation and a
couple of staircases remain are
all that remain of the former use.
The land was donated to
Precinct 2 by Christopher
LaPorte. Parks Commissioner
Gilbert Smith led the movement
to rename the plot “AMERI-
CAN STATESMENSHIP
PARK.”
Houstonian David Adickes, 83,
created and donated the busts
valued at $100,000 and the land
has a value of $87,000. The
good will of this park is invalu-
able to our city. Even through
the official name of the park is
American Statesmanship Park, it
quickly became known as
MOUNT RUSH HOUR.
Although the park is not much
to see in person, it is a wonder-
ful sight to drive by or to show
to our of town visitors.
Ironically, one of the best times
to view the park from the free-
way is when traffic is backed up
during the morning rush.
Adickes is known for many
other local icons. If you have
ever taken I-45 north to
Huntsville, you have seen one of
his most famous works, the 67
foot tall statute of Sam Houston
on a 10 foot high base at the
side of the freeway. This is pos-
sibly the tallest statute of an
American Hero and has its own
visitor’s center which is free to
the public. The huge violin in
front of the Lyric Center is
another work of Adickes. In
addition, he has a studio at 2500
Summer Street off Taylor just
south of I-10 near the downtown
Target store. There are many
works in progress including
busts of all our presidents. The
most recent addition is that of
President Obama. In addition
there are four 30 foot replicas of
the Beatles in full Magical
Mystery Tour regalia. The out-
door studio is free to visit and
open most days.
If you have a chance, check out
the works of Adickes either on
the freeways or at his studio. It
will give you a real appreciation
for what one man with a hufe
creative talent can do.

Born in Bigelow Arkansas and
his family moved to Kansas City
Kansas Oliver “Show” Brown
would go to make history. After
graduating from Sumner High
School he and longtime child-
hood from Coach Leroy
Breedlove moved to Houston to
attend Texas Southern
University. He competed in track
and field as well as football
where he was one of the cap-
tains on the 1952 National
Championship team. While at
TSU “Show” Brown as his
friends called him met Ramona
Morgan. Then he was drafted in
the U.S. Army and serving in the
Korean War then returned to
Houston. It was then on
December 28, 1955 he and
Morgan were married. The cou-
ple bought their first home in
Riverside Terrace section of
Houston’s Historic Third Ward.
A daughter (Tselane) was born
of this union.
Following a couple of years
coaching in La Marque Texas
Brown returned to Houston in
1959 and worked the City of
Houston Summer Parks and
Recreation program teaching
swimming. Soon after that he
took over as track coach at
Worthing High school. It was
there Brown made his lifelong
mark at one point winning 23
straight district championships.
Coaching the likes of Oakland
Raiders-Clifford Branch, and
Chicago-Mike Singletary to
name a couple of great ones is
an indication of what coach
Brown had to offer. But the
most important thing coach
Brown did was teach the proper
techniques that some runners
still use today. Fact is Debra
Edward went the Olympic
games in Munich Germany in
1972 and Brown was there help-
ing raising funds from donars in
the Galleria area to pay for
Debra’s mother to make the trip.
Dennis Brantley still holds the
state record in the 110 hurdles
since 1980 and he was following
the advice of Brown when he set
that mark.
Please don’t be misled by
Brown's donation on the track
field; he was still one of the
strongest supporters of education
in the classroom. He believed in
tough love and carried what he
called the board of education
with him and would not hesitate
to put it on his students behind.
After which he always encour-
aged them to do better because
he knew they had it in them.
Brown retired from coaching
and teaching in 1998 but contin-
ued to tutor math students at
Wesley AME Church where he
served as Men’s Day committee
trustee.
In his spare time Brown worked
with long time friend and col-
league James “Bo” Humphery
and helped to build the PVILCA
of which he was honored in their
Hall of Fame.
In all the years of being around
Coach Brown we can safely say
we never heard him say any-
thing bad about anyone and he
always looked for what was best
even in bad situations.
On Saturday May 10, 2013
Brown was laid to rest in Forest
Park Lawndale in Houston,
Texas but his memories will live
forever in the hearts and minds
of the people he came in contact
with in his lifetime.By King Arthur Prayther

A look back at the life and times of legendary Oliver “Show” Brown
May 2013 A King-Size View Page 8
I ran into a very interesting story
as I was thinking about my col-
umn for this month. I was not
aware this event had taken place
and I'm sure many of you
weren't either. The photo was
attached to a story about a for-
mer athlete, surrounded by his
former coach and athletic direc-
tor upon his graduation from
thier institution. Now just a
minute Big John this story
grabbed your attention; young
people graduate all the time-
what does that have to do with
anything. Well the young man
was former James Madison and
University of Texas star Vince
Young and he was flanked by
his former coach Mack Brown
and athletic director Deloss
Dodds. Young was celebrating
what he called his 'biggest victo-
ry' graduating from the
University of Texas. Yes Young
completed his degree require-
ments and accomplished his goal
of graduating from college.
Young stated this goal was big-
ger than winning the national
championship. "I promised my
mother I would graduate from
college and I kept my word to
her". To parents reading my col-
umn never forget what a college
athletic scholarship is about; to
complete an education and grad-
uate! We forget the real reason
why accepting that offer to
attend the university in the first
place. Athletic talent is a fleeting
thing. It doesn't last forever. It's
here today and can be gone
today. But by taking your educa-
tion seriously a person opens
doors to a world of oppurtunities
that are closed to so many peo-
ple. Maybe after all the major
eyes were opened to him. His
athletic talent may provide him
one more chance in the National
Football League; maybe it won't.
But by getting his degree his life
can reach new levels he didn't
see before. He can inspire young
athletes that will encourage them
to not only dream of goals in life
but to push themselves both
physically and mentally. I
remember how I felt when I
graduated from college. I felt I
finally had done something. I
was thankful to God for standing
with me. My family and close
friends were apart of the cele-
bration and seeing the tears of
joy in my mother's eyes was
something that I can still feel
even five years later after her
death. It was a day I will never
forget. It was a lot of hard work,
sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears.
Walking across that stage and
being given that piece of paper, I
didn't think about all that. I'm
sure Young felt the same way.
Parents-push your young sons
and daughters. Thank God for
their athletic abilities, but
remind them their ultimate goal
os to graduate. Make them
promise that the victory in the
classroom is just as big as the
one on the field.
Vince Young is a hero in every
sense of the word. He did some-
thing so many of us fail to do.
He completed what he stated.
His wide smile told the whole
story. That big victory will last a
lifetime.
That's just the way I see it!

DAYE SHON ROBERSON
WHEATLEY
Austin, Texas-In the girls 400
meters state championship race
it was Wheatley’s Daye Shon
Roberson in a time of 54.50 tak-
ing the gold medal. The
Oklahoma bound senior went on
to team with Takyera Roberson
(her sister), Ashley Howard and
Alia Duncan to win the 4 by 100
meter title in a time of 46.66.
But before all this she had
already placed second in the
long jump with a leap of 18 feet
8 and one-half inches. Before
her night was done Roberson
had teamed with Chanta Gosby.
Alia Duncan and her sister
Takyera to place second in the
mile relay. Funny it was Dallas
Lancaster who got first and tied
Wheatley for the title at 58
points. We visited with the
exciting young lady a few days
later on Wheatley's campus. “I
started out running the 200 as
my favorite and my coaches told
me that if I were to run the 400
it would make me strong and it
would stretch my ability to run”.
Well it worked because she went
on to become state champion in
the open quarter. “They taught
me to basically coach myself as
I ran and if you can do the 400
meters you can run any other
race”. Earlier on Roberson said
Coach Marion Lewis made a
great decision about where to
place her in events and she sim-
ply went out and followed his
lead and won meets. But it did-
n’t start out that way because
Coach Lewis put them in tough
meets and sometimes they
would finish last a few years
ago. “When we were getting
beat we never gave up; we kept
saying maybe if we work harder
we’ll get them next time and
before you knew it we were
winning those meets and the
other girls we respecting us on
the track”.
The future is bright for
Roberson who has agreed to
attend Oklahoma University in
Norman, Oklahoma this fall.
She plans to study Physical
Therapy and Health Education
and Science. “People need
health care these days and I’m
thinking about massage therapy
because I have magic hands”.
After the state run by the Lady
Wildcats, they are getting a little
more respect on campus these
days. “Well everyone thinks of
Wheatley as a basketball or foot-
ball school well that’s fine but
the girls track team is co-state
champs now”. “We live in a
world where men are suppose to
be king but females are making
a mark regardless if anyone is
paying attention and I think it’s
great that the Wheatley girls are
track state champions. We agree
with Roberson and there are
those of us who are paying
attention to their success and
writing about it as well.
Congratulations are certainly in
order for the Lady Wildcats and
we know as well alumnus like
Big Horace Roberts was right
there cheering them on.
Roberson went on to add many
people who went on to become
famous attended Wheatley High
School. She named former con-
gresswoman Barbara Jordan and
you can add two-time heavy-
weight champ George Foreman
and the award winning writer
the late Bud Johnson to name a
few.

plex on the campus of UT-
Austin was the running of soph-
omore Taylor Bennett from
Spring high school. Bennett
pushed Rushell Harvey of Fort
Bend Bush in the girls 200
meters placing second in a time
of 23.77 just behind Harvey who
defended her state title with a
23.58. But the same girls placed
third in the girls 100 meters also
won by Rushell Harvey in a
time of 11.57. Judy Emeodi of
Round Rock McNeil got second
in a time of 11.73 while the
every present Taylor ran a close
11.65. Less than a tenth of a sec-
ond separated the three girls.
Bennett who is just getting her
feet wet is poise to do great
things for Spring the coming
years.
We talked with the outstanding
sophomore about her efforts and
female athletic in general as
well. “Yes sir I feel we are
building a strong girl track and
field team at Spring high
school”. When asked what’s
going on at Spring these days
Bennett said it’s simply a matter
of girls following great coaches
instructions and working hard to
get the job done. “We are a hard
working group of girls and we
know what we want and we are
going after it”.
On the subject of Women sports
getting their fair share of the
market as it relates to what the
men are getting. In this the 40th
year of chapter nine a bill forc-
ing Universities to give the same
funding to women sports as they
do for men athletics. “Oh yes sir
I think girls work much harder
than the boys do and that’s the
way we see it is girls are simply
more dedicated to their sports”.
The well spoken sophomore
went on to add she feels women
sports have been under the mat
for so long and now that a little
attention is shown their way
they are willing work even hard-
er.
Please allow me to add we have
always been for giving female
athletes their just due and it is a
fact they sometimes put more
into their perspective sports than
the fellows do. I’m amazed at
the manner in which our female
stars go about their business of
working hard and allowing their
work to speak for itself. So a
word to the wise would be fel-
low you all had better get it
together because it’s safe to say
female athletes are gaining on
your very fast!

Over the years covering some of
the state finest student we at
King Arthur’s Productions and A
King-size View News paper are
proud to present this edition of
the Fiesta Student of the Week.
She is the dynamic, lovely and
talented Miss Wheatley who is
holding a 4.3 Grade Point aver-
age and graduating number two
in her class. The award winning
senior loves Science and Math
best in class because of her pas-
sion for solving problems. “It’s
challenging to find solutions and
the exploration is the most fun I
find in science experiments are
problem solving in math”.
The charming daughter of Debra
Tauriac and Jimmy Fields is
headed to Stephen F. Austin this
fall to study and become a
Physical Therapist with an inter-
est in sports medicine. “That’s
where the money is and it’s a
growing profession and plus
Stephen F. Austin has one of the
nation’s top programs there”.
Fields went on to say she is
among the 18 students who will
receive an internship and have
the opportunity to actually work
at a health clinic while attending
classes. The on-hand experience
is certainly going to be an extra
bonus for the young lady who is
ready to challenge the world. “I
would say I’m an intelligent
young woman with a full head
of steam and ready to move to
the next level".
The Obama factor is a good
thing according to Fields. “Oh I
think it’s great he’s the first
African American President
because it gives hope to all
black Americans that we too can
hold the highest office in the
land. I actually attended the
Presidential Inauguration”.
In her spare time Kelsea loves to
dance and was a part of
Wheatley’s dance team.
When asked about the school
spirit Fields says it’s about a six
on a scale of 1 to 10 and she
sites administration as the reason
why. “To be honest with you sir,
I just don’t feel we had enough
pep rallies and things of that sort
to get our students involved and
that points to the administra-
tion”. We moved on to asked
Fields if she were the principal
what would she do to correct
these things. “First of all too
many students spend too much
time chilling; we need more pro-
grams to get more students
involved and to help keep
Wheatley’s tradition alive and
well.
On the subject of doing anything
different if she could live her life
over Fields had an interesting
answer. “I have no regrets and
don’t go around living in the
past. I make the most of oppor-
tunities put before me”.
Speaking of opportunities
Kelsea is the second Fields to
become Miss Wheatley; her sis-
ter Chelsea did the honors two
years ago. “When I was running
for the title I talked with all stu-
dents and that’s what you have
to do in order to hold this title”.
On Sundays you’ll find Kelsea
over at Lyon Unity Church
where she says set the tone for
her life a long time ago. “It
keeps me grounded and it gives
me the strength to live a good
quality life”. Kelsea is an usher
at the church as well.
Her most driving force in life is
her mother Debra and Fields
explained. “Oh clearly it’s my
Mom and she has always been
right there and each time I was
even thinking about going out of
line she was right there to make
sure I didn’t and I love her for
that”. We want to commend the
Fields for doing a fine job of
keeping this young lady on the
right track!
In closing please allow me to
add Kinesiology is a growing
field and we know Kelsea will
do very well in it!

Austin, Texas-Not since the days
of the great Dominique Duncan
has so much attention has been
focused on Wheatley girls track
program. Well the Lady
Wildcats are at it again as 4th
year head coach Marion Lewis
has gotten these girls to co-state
champions as they tied Dallas
Lancaster with 58 points for the
girls’ Class 4A title. Lewis is a
graduate of C.E. King who later
played football and ran track at
Texas A&M Kingsville before
getting a job in Corporate
America. When he took over
the girls track program at
Wheatley High School there
were only two girls out for track.
Being the dedicated person he is
Lewis begin scanning the halls
trying to find girls who wanted
to go out for track. Now four
year years later he took five girls
to state and they came home
with the school’s first UIL title.
Having won titles in the PVIL in
the old days, the track program
at Wheatley has a very storied
past. Fact is back in 1954
Wheatley won the PVIL state
title in football, basketball, base-
ball and track.
When asked what was his key to
success Lewis who is assisted by
Ernest Caswell and Andrea Neal
said he put his girls in some of
the best meets he could find.
“We finished dead last in those
meets in our first two years but
it taught our girls to go against
the best and work hard to get
better”. Lewis admitted it was a
long winding road to state and
he knew he had a good group of
girls coming back at the start of
this season but he just wasn’t
sure he could get the mindset of
his running to think they were
the best team. “We explained to
our kids they need to be mature
and develop a winning attitude
and that’s when we started win-
ning races on the track”.
Facing the great Dallas
Lancaster at the state meet
Lewis knew of their background
and he knew his girls would
have to be ready for the chal-
lenge. “Man I’ve been around
track for a while now and I
knew the history of Lancaster
and they would probably be 20
deep and have a girl in almost
every event”. But Lewis knew
his girls were good in their
respective events just like
Lancaster so they ended up tied.
“My only hope was to have
another race and break that tie”.
Starting out for Lewis was not
easy to say the least. “Coming
here I felt I had something to
offer but only one girl (Victoria
Livingston) was coming back
and she’s at the University of
Texas now on an academic
scholarship, but I knew if I got
some girls to just come out I
would get them to work hard
and develop a program here at
Wheatley High School”. Getting
to work Lewis found Daye Shon
Roberson and Chanta Gosby on
the softball field and begin
building a program with those
two girls three years ago and a
couple transfers moved in.
Lewis still admitted he didn’t
expect to win the state title in
such a short time.
In closing Lewis added he feels
a coach should build a program
and train the talent. “We feel
our staff took kids who were los-
ing races and coached them to
win those same races and thats
what I feel a coaching staff is
suppose to do”. We agree and
Lewis and his staff have done a
marvelous job with the Wheatley
Lady Wildcats state champions!

Austin, Texas- After an ugly
thunder storm hit the capitol city
the 2013 UIL Track and Field
meet continued into the wee
hours of the night. With more
than 15 thousand fans asked to
leave the Mike A. Myers track
and field complex due to light-
ening and hailing the meet was
delayed for quite some time.
But when the runner returned to

the 110 hurdles ahead of Chris
Armstrong of San Antonio East
Central. Zamora placed second

letes and some good coaching is
coming together for Elsik these
days and its showing in all
sports. “We kind of depend on
each other and we felt it going
into the meet”. When asked

undecided but he knows where
ever he goes the coaching will
make him better and perhaps
prepare him for the next level. It

ALAYSH’A JOHNSON - SPRING
Austin, Texas- To be able to take home the 100 and 300
hurdles state titles is a very special feat, but to do it as a
junior is virtually unheard of. That was the case as the
2013 State Championship meet took place on the second
weekend in May 2013. It was Spring High School junior
Alaysh’A Johnson doing her thing in a time of 13.52 to
win the girls Class 5A title. She was few ticks ahead of
Ariel Jones of Humble Atascocita who ran a 13.56 and
defending champ Skylar Ross-Ranson of Langham
Creek who got third this year. Johnson went on to win
the girls Class 5A title in the 300 meters in a time of
41.24, Jones got second again in a time of 41.56 and
Raygen Smith of Clear Brook claimed third place. The
talented Johnson was just all smiles as she worked her
way to the top and certainly goes into next season as the
clear favorite to win both events again.
“It was an extremely fast race and I wasn’t nervous just
excited and ready to go”. When asked about facing
against the defending state champ in Skylar Ross-
Ransom Johnson smiled. “Oh I’ve been running against
Skylar since we were seven years old and I knew she is
a great competitor and I knew I just wanted to run hard”.
The charming junior went on to say after getting 2nd
last year she felt she would let the event come to her and
not try and rush it. “I felt good in the warm-ups and kind
of knew it was going to be a good day for me on the
track”. Taking a spill after crossing the finish line
Johnson said on the next to last hurdles she kind of
tightened up but no way was she going to not win the
race. “Last year getting 2nd in the 300 and first in the
100 people told me the jinks would show and I was not
going to come back and win again, but here I am”. She
said if she fell before the line she would crawl across it
to win. “It’s been a long journey and I’m just so thank-
ful”. She closed by saying that due to the all the hard
work and sometimes running in the rain it’s a blessing to
get to state and win two gold medals.
With time still remaining before she has to choose a uni-
versity, Johnson says she and her parents will look into
that very soon. “I kind of like to stay in the south
because the weather is great here for track but my Mom
and I will explore that later on”.
Several guys have won both the 100 and 300 hurdles but
this is the first girl we recall taking home both honors in
these two very different races.
WILLIAM GIBBS-BTW
Austin, Texas-When the dust settled on the track at the
state meet William Gibbs had walked away with the
Class 3A 110 hurdles title. The senior from Booker T.
Washington was the only Eagle in Austin this time
around and single handedly put Booker T. Washington in
the limelight. The former Studewood Cobra star who
played on both sides of the ball at Washington took the
110 hurdles in a time of 14.17 but experts feel before
this kid is done he is going to be in the 13s. Gibbs
talked with the media following his race. “It’s really the
preparation you have to be ready when the gun sounds
and you must be focused on the task at hand”. Gibbs
says the race is so swift with hurdle to go over and run-
ners must be totally focused because any mistakes can
cost you the race. “You have to pop out the blocks to
get the distance and try to gain an advantage from the
start”. The weather was tough on Friday night and many
thought it would affect the meet on Saturday but Gibbs
wasn’t worried because he had checked the weather on
his I-phone. “I knew it was going to be a good day for
our race today and coming back from state last year I
kind of knew what it took to get back here again”.
William was among 15 guys who made the trip to state
from Washington. “We had some newcomers out with us
this year and we had a sophomore running well but a
guy fell in front of him costing him the race”. But
Gibbs says this guy will be back and Booker T. is going
well again next season.
Coming from a family of hurdles with an aunt who won
the state title and all others running the hurdles except
his youngest sister. “It’s kind of natural for me to win it
after coming to state with the best time and having the
tradition so I put in the seven months of hard work”.
Gibbs said he went to practice every day and simply put
the time in so he would be taking home the medal. “I
think any time you specialize in an event you work on
every little detail until you get it right”.
Getting a good push from Kyle Dodd of Abilene Wylie,
Gibbs turned it on and took it home. “I saw him at
about the 4th hurdle but I knew when it was over I had it
won”.
Looking forward to a college career and majoring in
Petroleum engineering are some of the goals Gibbs has
set for himself. Having a love for Science and numbers
as well as many forms of engineering Gibbs thanked
God for his gold medal finish before leaving the media
tent.
My how time truly flies because it seems like only yes-
terday when John and William Gibbs joined the
Studewood Cobras football teams. In only a short time
he has hurdled his way the Class 3A 110 hurdle state
championship.
TIFFANY TERRY-CLEAR SPRINGS
Austin, Texas-Leading the Lady Charges of Clear Spring
high school to the promise land Tiffany Terry won the
girls class 5A 400 meters in a time of 54.60 just barely
beating out Daina Harper of Cy-Creek by a nose. The
Lady Chargers rolled to the girls 4 by 400 meter relay in
a time of 3.44.83 as Ericka Rodriguez, Jenna Sampson
and Aria Kelly teamed with Terry for the honors. The
win tied Clear Springs with Garland for second place
with 36 team points as De Soto won again with 71 total
team points.
We spoke with a happy Terry who said they knew they
were not the top dog in the race but she kept telling her
teammates to work harder. “It is our first gold medal for
our school means a lot”. Terry had placed third in the
800 meters earlier in the day. “Yes I was hurt after the
800 3rd place finish but my dad always told me track is
more mental and there was nothing I could do about the
past so I just came out here and left it all on the track”.
Bringing home the Gold medal in the mile relay was
special for Terry as she rolled across the finish line. “It
was great before this big crowd (more than 17,000 fans)
and looking up seeing all these people in the stands
cheering us on it was awesome”. With the weather
being so bad on Friday many thought it would carry
over into Saturday but it didn’t. “Oh yeh I thought it
was going to be regional’s all over again and I’m so
happy it turned out to be a wonderful day to run track’.
Once her teammates kept her team in the lead Terry said
she simply has to get the Gold medal. “I ran a smart
anchor leg and won it with three seniors and one junior
on this squad”.
In closing Terry is looking forward to attending TCU
and major in nursing as well. “I love the campus and
the coaches so I’m looking forward to my collegiate
career”. We feel it’s going to go very well for Tiffany at
TCU.

Dear reader, we are again sothankful for the opportunity toshare with you some SCRIP-TURAL TRUTHS. Again wethank Mr. Prayther and staff, andof course Fiesta for allowing usthis opportunity. There areMANY professing Christianity,“followers of Christ”. If this istrue, then this is GOOD. But weMUST remember the words ofthe Lord and savior Jesus Christ,how that He said; “Matt 7:13Enter ye in at the (1)strait gate:for (2)wide is the gate, and(3)broad is the (4)way, thatleadeth to (5)destruction, and(6)many there be which go inthereat: 14 Because strait is thegate, and (7)narrow is the(8)way, which leadeth unto life,and (9)few there be (10)thatfind it. 15 Beware of falseprophets, which come to you insheep’s clothing, but inwardlythey are ravening wolves.” (seealso Matt.7:16-28; 20:16 and22:14; Luke13:24-28; 1Pet.3:20-22; 2Pet.2:1-7).
Definitions: (1)Enter ye in atthe strait gate-4728 stenos(sten-os’); probably from thebase of 2476; narrow (fromobstacles standing close about):KJV— strait. (2)for wide is thegate-4113 plateia (plat-i’-ah);feminine of 4116; a wide “plat”or “place”, i.e. open square:KJV— street. (3)and broad-2149 euruchoros (yoo-roo’-kho-ros); from eurus (wide) and5561; spacious: KJV— broad.(4)is the way 3598 hodos (hod-os’); apparently a primary word;a road; by implication a progress(the route, act or distance); figu-ratively, a mode or means, 2)metaphorically: a) a course ofconduct b) a way (that is, man-ner) of thinking, feeling, decid-ing: KJV— journey, (high-) way.(5)that leadeth to destruction-684 apoleia (ap-o’-li-a);from apresumed derivative of 622; ruinor loss (physical, spiritual oreternal), b) the destruction whichconsists of eternal misery inhell: KJV— damnable (-nation),destruction, die, perdition, Xperish, pernicious ways, waste.(6)and many there be which goin thereat-4183 polus (pol-oos’);including the forms fromthe alternate pollos; (singular)much (in any respect) or (plural)many; neuter (singular) asadverbial, largely; neuter (plural)as adverb or noun often, mostly,largely: KJV— abundant, com-mon, many, much, plenteous.Compare 4118, 4119.

Now after reading, understand-ing, and accepting the WORDSof the Lord and Savior JESUSCHRIST; it is NOT the MANYbut the FEW. This study, as allare, is for SELF CHECKINGaccording to the WORD; forthere be few that are willing tolive a 24/7, SELF-DENYING,Christian lifestyle. So, inChristianity the old saying “themajority rules” doesn’t apply.The Word of TRUTH RULES,and there be FEW that accept IT.Contrary to what seems to be thebelief that living a Christian lifeis easy, according to Christ thisis not true; because it is a suffer-ing lifestyle of denying our sec-ular wants, fun, pleasures etc.This is why we believe accord-ing to the Word, that the words“Christian” and “Christianity”are the most miss-applied wordson earth. It was not easy forChrist, or for those that followedhim. He lived a suffering, selfdenying lifestyle while here, thatended most cruelly on the cross,for our sake. Beware of falseteachers in sheep’s clothing,which teach “Christ suffered forus, we don’t have to, and all wehave to do is believe”. Christspeaks to the contrary, for DEV-ILS BELIEVES and trembles(James2:17-26), but they WILLNOT OBEY, which takes us intothis study: IF A�Y MA�WILL COME AFTER ME,LET HIM DE�Y HIMSELF
Matt 16:21 From that time forthbegan Jesus to shew unto hisdisciples, how that he must gounto Jerusalem, and suffer manythings of the elders and chiefpriests and scribes, and bekilled, and be raised again thethird day. 22 Then Peter tookhim, and began to rebuke him,saying, Be it far from thee,Lord: this shall not be unto thee.23 But he turned, and said untoPeter, Get thee behind me,Satan: thou art an offence untome: for thou savourest not the
things that be of God, but thosethat be of men. 24 Then saidJesus unto his disciples, If anyman will come after me, let himdeny himself, and take up hiscross, and follow me. 25 Forwhosoever will save his lifeshall lose it: and whosoever willlose his life for my sake shallfind it. 26 For what is a manprofited, if he shall gain thewhole world, and lose his ownsoul? or what shall a man givein exchange for his soul? 27 Forthe Son of man shall come in theglory of his Father with hisangels; and then he shall rewardevery man according to hisworks.

Matt 16:24 ... If any man willcome after me, (KJV)
Matt 10:32 Whosoever there-fore shall (1)confess me beforemen, him will I confess alsobefore my Father which is inheaven. 33 But whosoever shall
deny me before men, him will Ialso deny before my Fatherwhich is in heaven. 34 Think notthat I am come to send peace onearth: I came not to send peace,but a sword. 35 For I am cometo set a man at variance againsthis father, and the daughteragainst her mother, and thedaughter in law against hermother in law. 36 And a man’sfoes shall be they of his ownhousehold. 37 He that lovethfather or mother more than me isnot worthy of me: and he thatloveth son or daughter morethan me is not worthy of me. 38And he that taketh not his cross,and followeth after me, is notworthy of me. 39 He that find-eth his life shall lose it: and hethat loseth his life for my sakeshall find it.

Mark 8:31 And he began toteach them, that the Son of manmust suffer many things, and berejected of the elders, and of thechief priests, and scribes, and bekilled, and after three days riseagain. 32 And he spake that say-ing openly. And Peter took him,and began to rebuke him. 33 Butwhen he had turned about andlooked on his disciples, herebuked Peter, saying, Get theebehind me, Satan: for thousavourest not the things that beof God, but the things that be ofmen. 34 And when he had calledthe people unto him with his dis-ciples also, he said unto them,Whosoever will come after me,let him deny himself, and takeup his cross, and follow me. 35For whosoever will save his lifeshall lose it; but whosoever shalllose his life for my sake and thegospel’s, the same shall save it.36 For what shall it profit a man,if he shall gain the whole world,and lose his own soul? 37 Orwhat shall a man give inexchange for his soul? 38Whosoever therefore shall beashamed of me and of my wordsin this adulterous and sinful gen-eration; of him also shall theSon of man be ashamed, whenhe cometh in the glory of hisFather with the holy angels.(KJV)
Mark 10:17 And when he wasgone forth into the way, there
came one running, and kneeledto him, and asked him, GoodMaster, what shall I do that Imay inherit eternal life? 18And Jesus said unto him, Whycallest thou me good? there isnone good but one, that is, God.19 Thou knowest the command-ments, Do not commit adultery,Do not kill, Do not steal, Do notbear false witness, Defraud not,Honour thy father and mother.20 And he answered and saidunto him, Master, all these haveI observed from my youth. 21Then Jesus beholding him lovedhim, and said unto him, Onething thou lackest: go thy way,sell whatsoever thou hast, andgive to the poor, and thou shalthave treasure in heaven: andcome, take up the cross, and fol-low me. 22 And he was sad atthat saying, and went awaygrieved: for he had great posses-sions. 23 And Jesus lookedround about, and saith unto hisdisciples, How hardly shall theythat have riches enter into thekingdom of God! 24 And thedisciples were astonished at hiswords. But Jesus answerethagain, and saith unto them,Children, how hard is it for themthat trust in riches to enter intothe kingdom of God! 25 It iseasier for a camel to go throughthe eye of a needle, than for arich man to enter into the king-dom of God. 26 And they wereastonished out of measure, say-ing among themselves, Whothen can be saved? 27 And Jesuslooking upon them saith, Withmen it is impossible, but notwith God: for with God allthings are possible. 28 ThenPeter began to say unto him, Lo,we have left all, and have fol-lowed thee. 29 And Jesusanswered and said, Verily I sayunto you, There is no man thathath left house, or brethren, orsisters, or father, or mother, orwife, or children, or lands, formy sake, and the gospel’s, 30But he shall receive an hundred-fold now in this time, houses,and brethren, and sisters, andmothers, and children, and lands,with persecutions; and in theworld to come eternal life. 31But many that are first shall belast; and the last first. (KJV)
Luke 9:22 Saying, The Son ofman must suffer many things,and be rejected of the elders andchief priests and scribes, and beslain, and be raised the third day.23 And he said to them all, Ifany man will (1)come (2)afterme, (3)let him deny himself,and take up his (4)cross daily,and (5)follow me. 24 Forwhosoever will save his lifeshall lose it: but whosoever willlose his life for my sake, thesame shall save it.

Luke 14:33 So likewise, whoso-ever he be of you that forsakethnot all that he hath, he cannot bemy disciple. 34 Salt is good: butif the salt have lost his savour,wherewith shall it be seasoned?35 It is neither fit for the land,nor yet for the dunghill; but mencast it out.

(KJV)
Col 1:9 For this cause we also,since the day we heard it, do notcease to pray for you, and todesire that ye might be filledwith the knowledge of his willin all wisdom and spiritual

1Thes 3:1 Wherefore when wecould no longer forbear, wethought it good to be left atAthens alone; 2 And sentTimotheus, our brother, and min-ister of God, and our fel-lowlabourer in the gospel ofChrist, to establish you, and tocomfort you concerning yourfaith: 3 That no man should bemoved by these afflictions: foryourselves know that we areappointed thereunto. 4 For ver-ily, when we were with you, wetold you before that we shouldsuffer tribulation; even as itcame to pass, and ye know. 5For this cause, when I could nolonger forbear, I sent to knowyour faith, lest by some meansthe tempter have tempted you,and our labour be in vain. 6 Butnow when Timotheus came fromyou unto us, and brought usgood tidings of your faith andcharity, and that ye have goodremembrance of us always,desiring greatly to see us, as wealso to see you: 7 Therefore,brethren, we were comfortedover you in all our afflictionand distress by your faith: 8 Fornow we live, if ye stand fast inthe Lord. 9 For what thanks canwe render to God again for you,for all the joy wherewith we joyfor your sakes before our God;10 Night and day prayingexceedingly that we might seeyour face, and might perfect thatwhich is lacking in your faith?11 Now God himself and ourFather, and our Lord JesusChrist, direct our way unto you.12 And the Lord make you toincrease and abound in love onetoward another, and toward allmen, even as we do toward you:13 To the end he may stablishyour hearts unblameable in holi-ness before God, even ourFather, at the coming of ourLord Jesus Christ with all hissaints.
2 Tim 3:10 But thou hast fullyknown my doctrine, manner oflife, purpose, faith, longsuffer-ing, charity, patience, 11Persecutions, afflictions, whichcame unto me at Antioch, atIconium, at Lystra; what perse-cutions I endured: but out ofthem all the Lord delivered me.12 Yea, and all that will livegodly in Christ Jesus shall suf-fer persecution. 13 But evilmen and seducers shall waxworse and worse, deceiving, andbeing deceived. 14 But continuethou in the things which thouhast learned and hast beenassured of, knowing of whomthou hast learned them; 15 Andthat from a child thou hastknown the holy scriptures,which are able to make theewise unto salvation through faithwhich is in Christ Jesus. 16 All
scripture is given by inspirationof God, and is profitable fordoctrine, for reproof, for correc-tion, for instruction in righteous-ness: 17 That the man of Godmay be perfect, throughly fur-nished unto all good works.(KJV)
Heb 7:22 By so much wasJesus made a surety of a bettertestament. 23 And they trulywere many priests, because theywere not suffered to continue byreason of death: 24 But thisman, because he continueth ever,hath an unchangeable priest-hood. 25 Wherefore he is ablealso to save them to the utter-most that come unto God byhim, seeing he ever liveth tomake intercession for them. 26For such an high priest becameus, who is holy, harmless, unde-filed, (1)separate from sinners,and made higher than the heav-ens; (KJV)

Heb 11:23 By faith Moses,when he was born, was hid threemonths of his parents, becausethey saw he was a proper child;and they were not afraid of theking’s commandment. 24 Byfaith Moses, when he was cometo years, refused to be called theson of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25Choosing rather to sufferaffliction with the people ofGod, than to enjoy the pleas-ures of sin for a season; 26Esteeming the reproach of Christgreater riches than the treasuresin Egypt: for he had respect untothe recompence of the reward.27 By faith he forsook Egypt,not fearing the wrath of theking: for he endured, as seeinghim who is invisible.

1 Pet 2:19 For this is thankwor-thy, if a man for consciencetoward God endure grief, suffer-ing wrongfully. 20 For whatglory is it, if, when ye be buffet-ed for your faults, ye shall takeit patiently? but if, when ye dowell, and suffer for it, ye take itpatiently, this is acceptable withGod. 21 For even hereuntowere ye called: because Christalso suffered for us, leaving usan example, that ye should fol-low his steps: 22 Who did nosin, neither was guile found inhis mouth: 23 Who, when hewas reviled, reviled not again;when he suffered, he threatenednot; but committed himself tohim that judgeth righteously: 24Who his own self bare our sinsin his own body on the tree, thatwe, being dead to sins, shouldlive unto righteousness: bywhose stripes ye were healed. 25For ye were as sheep goingastray; but are now returnedunto the Shepherd and Bishop ofyour souls. (KJV)
1 Pet 4:1 Forasmuch then asChrist hath suffered for us in theflesh, arm yourselves likewisewith the same mind: for he thathath suffered in the flesh hathceased from sin; 2 That he nolonger should live the rest of histime in the flesh to the lusts ofmen, but to the will of God. 3For the time past of our life maysuffice us to have wrought the

I Jn 2:15 (1)Love not the(2)world, neither the things thatare in the world. If any manlove the world, the love of theFather is not in him. 16 For allthat is in the world, the lust ofthe flesh, and the lust of theeyes, and the pride of life, is notof the Father, but is of theworld. 17 And the world passethaway, and the lust thereof: buthe that doeth the will of Godabideth for ever. 18 Little chil-dren, it is the last time: and as yehave heard that antichrist shall

Dear reader, after reading theseinstructions given by the Lordfor one to be His follower; havewe confessed, (praised) Him byapplying these things to ourlives (true Christians)? Or havewe denied Him by �OT deny-ing OURSELVES thereby beingDISOBEDIENT (antichrists)?Remember the purpose of thesearticles is to seek the TRUTHaccording to THE WORD,thereby exposing ERROR,which is false doctrine, for thepurpose of saving our souls. Webelieve this is best done by defi-nitions and the PREPONDER-ANCE OF SCRIPTURES;which is having superior weight,force, importance, or influenceof SCRIPTURE. Again webelieve this allows SCRIPTUREto INTERPRET SCRIPTURE,thereby allowing a better under-standing on that topic. Thanksagain for your interest in theWORD of TRUTH; GRACEand SALVATION; John 17:17-21; Acts 20:29-32; James1:21-25. After all it is our MAP toHEAVEN, and away fromHELL!

PRECIOUS is Time. Therefore while you have
time, use it to learn and do Gods Commandments
for at the end of life is pay time and your pay will
be according as your work has been. You will find
in 2 Corinthians 5:10 the following: “For we must
all appear before the judgement seat of Christ,
that everyone may recive the things done in his
body according to that he hath done, whether it
be good or evil.” You will find in John 15:14. “Ye
are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command
you.” Solomon said in Proverbs 1:5 “A wise man
will hear and will increase learning, and a man of
understanding will attain unto wise counsel.”
How shall we escape if we neglect to great
Salvation: Hebrew 2:1-3 Salvation is to be worked
out. It will not work itself out; God will not work
it out for us. �o one can work it out for us. It is
the duty of man to work out his own salvation.
How! With fear and trembling. Phil. 2:12. Pray
fervently, attend the Lord’s Day Worship, Be on
time, Take active part in Singing, Teaching of God
Word, Giving as we prosper and taking the
Lord’s Supper with death.
THE CHURCH OF CHRISTWas founded by Christ Matt 16:18 he bought it.
