—CC— Chuck Swindoll is one of

my favorite authors. Re-cently he wrote the follow-ing ...

With the dawning of a new year comes a deluge of resolutions, reminders, and exhortations. They all follow similar how-to themes—how to increase your effi ciency, how to make every moment count, how to invest your time wisely and produc-tively.

Well, just for some tongue-in-cheek fun, I’d like to take the opposite tack. I’m going to tell you how to waste your time. That’s right, if you follow this advice, you will make absolutely no progress this year. Guaranteed!

First, worry a lot. Start worrying earlier in the morn-ing and intensify your anxi-ety energy as the day passes. Short on a supply of things to worry about? Check the newspaper, television, or Internet. You’ll have enough bad news, doomsday reports, human tragedies, and late-breaking calamities to keep your heart and mind churn-ing all through the night.

Something I have found helpful in my own worry world is to do a lot of re-fl ecting on my failures and mistakes. If you’re a parent, think long and hard about what you should or could have done for your children. That will give guilt the green light it’s been waiting for. To add a touch of variety, you might also call to mind some things you should not have done. Regret fuels worry in many creative ways.

Do you need a few other categories to camp on? The things you don’t like about your marriage or your job. The possibility of a leaky roof, car trouble, and aging. Hanging around negative people is another secret you won’t want to forget this new year. If you plan all this right, you’ll be loaded with a full pack of worries long before February comes. Start now! Those potential ulcers need fresh acid.

Second, make hard-and-fast predictions. Why not? A whole new year is in front of you. Your date book is empty and ready to fi ll with detailed plans. Of course, you’ll need to ignore that little throwaway line in the fourth chapter of James:

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profi t.” Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. (13-14, emphasis added)

Forget this verse, and chis-el your expectations in stone, convinced that things will turn out just like you plan.

Third, fix your attention on getting rich. With this mind-set, you’ll fi t right in

***SPECIAL***WEANED CALF & YEARLING SALE

THURS., FEB. 19, 2015 NOONExpecting 2000 to 2500 Weaned

Calves and Yearlings

with most of the hype that’s pouring out of entrepreneurial seminars and upbeat sales meetings. Make certain to get your ideas about money from the secular bookshelves, and definitely don’t pay attention to men like Solomon, who wrote:

Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, Cease from your consideration of it.

When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings

Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. (Proverbs 23:4-5)I mean, what does Solomon know about money and con-

tentment and consequences?Fourth, compare yourself with others. Here’s another

surefire time-waster. Not only will you ricochet between the extremes of arrogance and discouragement, you will spend another year not knowing who you are.

If external beauty happens to be your thing, comparing yourself to the latest Hollywood hulks ought to help you men . . . and those gorgeous models they plaster on the covers of Vogue will do nicely for you women. The next twelve months will be a humdinger so long as you keep your gaze on the horizontal. A quick tip—have the Valium ready.

Fifth, lengthen your list of enemies. Playing the Blame Game will keep your wheels spinning more than any other activity. Your skill at this game should improve with age because the longer you live the more ammunition you have. With a full arsenal of suspicion, paranoia, and resentment, you can waste endless evenings rehearsing your feelings of hate as you stew over those folks who have made your life miserable.

There you have it, five proven time-wasters. Put these sug-gestions into motion, and your new year could set records in wasting valuable time.

But on the other hand, who wants to do that? No one aims to run in circles—it just happens. So, let’s get seri-ous. Beware of the time-wasters! Instead, pray more than worry. Be flexible. Give more. Be content with the way God made you. And let the oil of forgiveness loosen your grip on those grudges. In other words, make this year your most productive ever.

That’s my plan!—CC—

All newspapers make mistakes but this is one of my all time favorites . . .

Editors at an Australian newspaper may have to have that uncomfortable conversation with reporters about double-checking their sources – and hearing.

In the midst of recent floods in the state of Queensland, The Rockhampton Morning Bulletin reported in its January 6th edition that floodwaters were so great that 30,000 pigs were seen floating down the Dawson River. But apparently the Morning Bulletin reporter misheard the source, who ac-tually said that “30 sows and pigs” were seen floating down the river.

—CC— I remember as a youngster that Santa Claus brought me

an Erector Set. It took only a few days for me to realize that I was not going to be an engineer. However my friend and neighbor Larry Sweten also received one and he could build almost anything.

The Erector Set is now over a century old but there is some interesting news about the sets.

For millions of mechanically inclined young tinkerers, the Erector Set (known in Europe as Meccano) has been the ultimate kit. This collection of perforated metal beams and panels, held together with small nuts and bolts, can be used to create everything form locomotives to cranes to Ferris wheels. Even better, a system of pulleys, gears and tiny electric motors allows you to bring your creations to life.

The classic toy – now over a century old – is poised to take a step into the modern age. Last week, the company introduced the Meccano Meccanoid G15 KS, a build-it-yourself robot that’s markedly smarter than the other toy humanoids. Standing roughly as tall as an 8-year-old child (4 feet high), with big, WALL-E-style eyes, the Meccanoid has a computing module in its chest that allows it to pull off a number of neat tricks.

Like other robots designed to teach children programming basics, this one has an app for smartphones and tablets for remotely controlling the robot using a drag-and-drop inter-face. But unlike others, you can also interact with it directly. For example, you can move the robot’s arms and head and set it to replay those motions, kind of like a programmable action figure. The Meccanoid can even mimic your physical movements in real time. Throw your hands in the air like you just don’t care, and the Meccanoid will do the robot equivalent.

Voice-recognition lets the Meccanoid respond to basic voice commands like “walk forward.” Children can program it to recognize custom commands, too. The Meccanoid can also speak, and, when asked, will announce the time or tell

a joke (Jimmy Fallon, watch your back).

This robot’s range of mo-tion is a bit limited. Only its arms and neck have mo-tors, and the wheels on its feet can roll just forward and backward (although the robot can turn). But, as with any Meccano set, this one can be reconfigured in myriad ways – including a dog, scorpion and dinosaur – and is compatible with all classic Meccano parts – even the ones you might have had growing up.

Even though it has been half a century since Larry and I had an Erector Set, I suspect he will buy the ro-bot . . . I also suspect I will not.

—CC— And last of all, my favorite

Super Bowl story . . . Josh Rollings writes . . .

New to the area, my wife and I had been invited by neighbors to join them and some other couples in watch-ing the Super Bowl on TV. During half-time, while my wife was in the kitchen help-ing the hostess, the conversa-tion turned to videos. “We made a video of all of us in San Diego,” one of the women told me. “Want to see it? It’s in the car.” And she promptly ran out to get it.

Minutes later, while we were watching the tape of them running on the beach, my wife walked in from the kitchen. “Those are the ugli-est women I’ve ever seen in a commercial!” she exclaimed, taking one look at the TV.

We watched the second half of the game at home.

by Cleo Emerson LeVally This week I will continue

with some of the things we did during my high school years, in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s. I graduated in 1941, these were the years when there were no iPhones, iPods, cell phones, etc. Our leisure time was very different then.

In Allen, where I grew up, there was a small park where there was an Artisian Well.

This is a well where the water is forced up through the ground by its pressure, and flows fresh water continually. So the water continually coming out of the ground made a nice creek of clear water and this became a great place to go and have picnics, wiener roasts, etc. The school had class picnics, etc,

there regularly. On a warm Sunday after-

noon this is the place where we would gather; turn on a car radio, listen to the music and those of us who liked to dance, would dance on the sandy beach. I was one of those who liked to dance, so that is where you could find me most of those Sunday afternoons. The accom-panying photo shows me on the hood of a car, however, I do not remember the occasion, but I really do remember those Sun-day afternoons when we would gather there at the park or on Main Street, just talking and laughing and being together. Those were good days.

During my high school days our group went to the Saturday

On Sunday afternoons a group would meet and go out to a small park we had in Allen--not really a park, but there was an Artesian well there and a lot of picnics were held there--just a nice place to go where there was privacy and a lot of room. The group would turn on the radio and dance or just take pictures. You can tell from this picture, which was taken of me at age 17 in 1939, we just had fun.

night late movie at the Majestic Theater. Before the preview we would gather at the home of my older brother, Vernon. He lived in a large house on Broadway. The living room was not car-peted. It had a hardwood floor and our gang would gather at his house before the preview, play records and dance. In the summer, all the windows would be open (there was no air con-ditioning) and cars would drive slowly by the house, sometimes stop on the curb of the street and watch us dance.

In my Senior year, we had a student who had moved to Allen from California and he tried to teach all of us to do the Jitter Bug. I liked to dance with him because he taught us steps

we never would have learned anywhere else.

The carefree days of my Se-nior year were soon forgotten. The 45th Division of the Na-tional Guard had a large num-ber of boys in the Senior class enrolled. The war in Europe had begun in 1939 when Ger-many began invading European countries and the 2nd World War had begun in Europe. The 45th had a large enrollment in Allen and when they were called up it took most of the senior boys from our class. That was a sad day at school. The balance of the class that was left formed a line, with clasped hands and those who left school that day marched under our clasped hands to the bus that had been parked in front of the Baptist Church (where the high school auditorium now sets) and they left to begin their training to enter World War II. This was early in 1941. Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese forces on December 7th in 1941. I went to a Sunday afternoon movie and was at a friends house playing cards when President Roosevelt come on the air with the an-nouncement that the United States was at war with Japan.

America began a new and dif-ferent life. The shipyards began hiring people and Oklahomans began to move West. The draft began and many young men went off to camps for training. Tinker Field at Oklahoma City began hiring and young people were being trained to work in the war effort. I was in that group and after my training I went to work at Tinker Field. My annual income that first year was $3,900, a good salary for the time.

Services for Joe D. Shires, 82, of Allen were 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, January 4th, at the Allen First Baptist Church, Rev. Chad Kamins-ki officiated assisted by Rev. Coy Howry. Burial followed at the Allen Cemetery.

Mr. Shires died Sunday, February 1, 2015, at the Al-len nursing home. He was born September 6, 1932 in Pottsboro, Texas to Howard and Opal Seat Shires. He attended Texas schools and graduated from Denison, Texas High School.

He married Patsy Cock-burn on July 4, 1952. They moved to Allen in 1958. Mr. Shires was a signal main-tainer for Union Pacific Rail-road, retiring after 42 years of service. He was a member of the First Baptist Church in Allen.

Survivors include his wife, Patsy Shires, of the home; three sons, Terry Shires and wife Janet of Tioga, Tex-as, Randy Shires and wife Becky of White Settlement, Texas, and Kenny Shires and wife Johnna of Allen;

his grandchildren, Russhel Chancey and husband Phil-lip, Chance Shires and wife Jerrica, Tracy Shires and wife Marcia, Alicia Cole and husband Hunter, and Scotty Shires; nine great-grandchildren; two sisters, Johnnie Gibson and Jean Hughes, both of Pottsboro, Texas; and a brother, Bob Shires, Pottsboro, Texas.

He was preceded in death by his parents and three sisters, Beverly Gastineau, Dorothy Scibeck and Bar-bara Shires.

Bearers were Jearl Knight-en, Donny Johnson, Wally Lewis, Dennis Sappenfield, Jim McDonald and H. C. Spain.

Arrangements were under the direction of Criswell Funeral Home, Ada.

Our Allen basketball clubs continue to attract a lot of local interest and win a lot of games. Not only our high school varsity but also teams down in Jr. High and grade school. Even the away games have a good following on the road. It’s amazing how many people pack in the gyms away and at home these days. Some fans say it is the “grandparent” support that is doing the job. What-

ever, it’s good to see parents and friends supporting their kids and making note of these events. It’s a lot of fun, too.

There was one snafu, how-ever, during the Monday night games with Tupelo. The concession stand ran out of popcorn. Yes! I mean corn to pop. Who knew such a disaster could even occur.

But if you’ve been missing these events you need to get in on it. I understand the popcorn disaster has been solved and won’t happen again.

My Utah correspondent, Dick True--an old shipmate of mine a long time ago and a person who stays on top of things sent me some home remedies last week and I felt I should get these out to the people who need them.

1. To avoid cutting your-self when slicing vegetables, get someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.

2. For high blood pres-sure sufferers - simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. (Remember to use a timer.)

3. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze but-ton.

4. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. You’ll be afraid to cough.

5. Guys, to avoid argu-ments with the females about lifting the toilet seat - use the sink.

6. You only need two tools in life = WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn’t move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and does, use duct tape.

7. If you can’t fi x it with a hammer, you’ve got an electrical problem.

8. Another thought: Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

I’m not too sure but I think some of these items may well be politically incorrect so I warn my readers to use their own judgment on them. Anyway, thanks Dick. I think. If any of you “others” have any good ideas to make our lives better, feel free to

send them on. I’ll consider them.

Shifting gears, it hasn’t been too long ago that I was having a conversation with my friend and fellow member of the Cemetery class (men’s class) down at the First Baptist Church, Joe Shires. We had been discuss-ing how old we were getting and fi gured out that he was the oldest man in the church and made me the 2nd old-

est. I told him to take good care of himself as I didn’t think I’d care to be the old-est. We both had a laugh but Joe went on to be with the Lord this week passing that “honor” on to me. We will miss Joe in our class, and this good man will certainly be missed in our community.

Have a good week and be sure and go to Church Sunday. You’ll be glad you did.

“Seek first football and the Super Bowl and you will enjoy the greatest pleasure of the world!” That’s not quite what Jesus said, but rather “seek fi rst the kingdom of God and His righteousness” and all physical needs will be supplied. (Matthew 6:33) However, from the way so many churches canceled, postponed or changed wor-ship last Sunday evening, it would appear that many Christians believe that foot-ball should come before worship of God! Do we fi nd more pleasure in football than in the worship of God? Is the Super Bowl more im-portant to us than worship of God and the study of God’s word? Jesus warned that some who become Christians will be “choked with the cares, riches, and pleasures of life.” (Luke 8:14) While we may enjoy watching a

good football game, should we be controlled by foot-ball – or any other pleasure? Should the church, worship of God and study of God’s word be governed by foot-ball? Should our fleshly pleasures rule the use of our time and money? Are there other pleasures that tempt us to give them preference over church assemblies and worship? If there are others, how many and how often will we make them of more importance than spiritual matters? God’s word warns that in the last days men will be “lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.” (2 Tim-othy 3:4) Has our society reached that point? Who or what is the ruler and master of your life? Jesus said that we could not serve two mas-ters. (Matthew 6:24) While the world may be ruled by pleasure, the Christian can have only one master. Jesus Christ must be our Lord and Master and our lives must demonstrate love for Him above all other things! The inspired word commands, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” (1 John 2:15)

Allen Powerlifters bring home First Place TrophyThe Allen Mustang Pow-

erlifting team placed 1st out of 25 teams at the Prague Invitational on Friday, Janu-

ary 23rd. The Mustangs com-peted in the Small School Division which consists of

schools in classes C-2A. This was the largest meet Prague has hosted to date.

“I was very pleased with how we competed. Prague is

always a tough meet. It was great to see the guys hard work pay off with a win,” said Coach Sullivan.

Allen Family Career and Community Leaders of Amer-ica (FCCLA) members Kaitlynn Roby and Samantha Hammonds began a weekly Character Counts project with all 5th and 6th grade students at Allen Middle School. They met with the students once a week to teach them a new character pillar from Character Counts. The char-acter pillars they have taught include trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. The lessons have been very successful and Kaitlynn and Samantha have enjoyed teaching the 5th and 6th grade students about these very important character traits.

Since it is February, in chil-dren’s church we talked about the different kinds of love. But especially the love that God has for His chil-dren. God has blessed us in so many ways that we want to give Him the praise.

For our special today, we enjoyed the singing of Sara and John Chapman. He played the electric guitar and they sang “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” . They are a tal-ented couple, who use their talents for the Lord.

Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from 2 Corinthians 5: 16-21 and entitled “Be Reconciled to God.” The ministry of reconciliation is

desperately needed. People are hopelessly trapped in miserable lives. Some were born into seemingly hopeless situations and others have made horribly bad decisions. The world offers little hope. Self-help books and semi-nars are plentiful, but people are still hurting. Many, like Paul, think they are beyond the grasp of God.

The means of reconcili-ation is Jesus Christ. The reason for the world’s mis-ery can be described in one word: sin. Because of our own personal sin we are sep-arated from God. The cure for our misery is one Person:

Jesus Christ. We have been bought with a price, His pre-cious blood. He offers this gift of reconciliation freely to all who will accept it.

Those who have accepted Christ are forever changed. We are Christ’s ambassa-dors. Our lives are to reflect his desires and wishes. God is now working through us to bring others to Christ. We are to encourage them by liv-ing transformed lives.

We enjoyed our Super Bowl party Sunday night at Truby and Gary’s. We are looking forward to our an-nual Valentine’s banquet.

By HERMAN BROWNAllen correspondent

The Allen Mustangs col-lected a pair of wins last week in three varsity basket-ball games.

Allen crushed Asher 92-61 on Tuesday and then thumped Sasakwa 70-33 on Thursday. However, the Mustangs lost the chance for a 3-game sweep. AHS was beaten 50-45 by the Vanoss Wolves on Friday.

Coach Greg Mills’ AHS squad is 14-5 heading into a pair of scheduled games this week. Allen was set to host the Wetumka Chieftains on Tuesday night but that was changed to a Saturday game. Tip-off for the fi rst match will 2:30, for the ladies, with the boys taking the court af-ter their game. The Mustangs will fi nish the week Friday with a trip to Stonewall to face the Longhorns.

Last Tuesday, Allen gal-loped to an impressive 92-61 win over the visiting Asher Indians.

The 31-point triumph be-gan when the Mustangs took a 25-17 lead in the fi rst quarter. Allen pushed the advantage to 49-29 at the half-time break.

After the break, the Mus-tangs outscored the Indians 24-15 in the third quarter and 19-17 in the fourth. The combined effort secured the fi nal margin of 31 at 92-61.

Logan George led the scor-ing parade with 21 points. He was one of fi ve Mustangs to score in double fi gures in the game. Tommy Lee Peay add-ed 14 points and Drew Back scored 11. Christian Henry and Ty Brown dropped in 10 points each.

Two other Mustangs just missed double digit scoring. Kanan Wisdom and Josiah Jones tallied 9 points each.

Jordan Stick provided 6 points and Dakota Nickell rounded out the list with 2 points.

On Thursday, Allen added a 70-33 win over the Sasak-wa Vikings in a game played over in Seminole County.

Coach Mills’ squad out-scored the Vikings in all four quarters. Allen led 20-7 after a quarter, 45-20 at the half and 59-26 after three quar-ters. The Mustangs then out-scored the home team 11-7 down the stretch to clinch the 70-33 victory.

Logan George again fueled the scoring on a night when it was fairly balanced for the Mustangs. George tallied 15 points. Josiah Jones followed with 13 points. They were the only two Allen players to land in double fi gures.

Kanan Wisdom and Tommy Lee Peay just missed double fi gures with 9 points. Dakota Nickell and Christian Henry tallied 6 points each. Coleten Griffith and Colby Eaker chipped in 4 points and Ty Brown fi nished with 3.

On Friday, Allen suffered a 50-45 loss to Class A’s 12th-ranked Vanoss Wolves. A slow start offensively is what doomed the Mustangs in the 5-point loss.

Vanoss led 10-6 after a quarter and 23-14 at the break.

In the third quarter, Al-len exploded for 20 points to cut the defi cit to 37-34. The visiting Wolves then outscored Allen 13-11 in the fourth quarter to escape with a 50-45 win.

Logan George was the lone Mustang to score in double fi gures. The sopho-more ended the night with 13 points.

Josiah Jones was second on the squad with 8 points. Tommy Lee Peay followed closely with 7. Christian Henry and Tanner Wofford added 4 points each while Kanan Wisdom, Ty Brown and Drew Back scored 3 points each.

Beta Sigma Phi members Terry Riddle, Sue Boyd, Jan-ice Deaton, Brenda Johnson, Jill Kaminski, Jennifer Smith, Danielle O’Daniel, Tammy Frederick, Cindy Davis, Wilma Harden and Cindi Sanders met at the First Baptist Church on January 22nd for a tailgate party. Each member present dressed for their favorite team. Colors and logos abounded but OU definitely carried the night.

Hostess Jill Kaminski served a Nacho Grande bar and awe-some chocolate cream and co-conut cream pies before a short business meeting, then it was time for the big game – “Put The Football Through The Goal Post” game. The object of the game is for players to stick a paper football between the goal posts on the poster. One by one members were blindfolded, spun four times then they at-tempted to put their football through the goal post! Some of us missed the field completely, while others got on the field. Two made touchdowns! Wilma Harden won a movie and Cindy Davis took home the “House Divided” OU/OSU light.

Thanks for the fun evening Jill!
