Missouri City, Texas-This time
around we went for a ride in the
all-new Lexus LS 460 L and let
me say right off the bat it may
have been the finest vehicle we
have ever driven. It simply had
all the modern up to date bells
and whistles you come to expect
as still it was basic enough to
operate it just as you would any
other vehicle. We must applaud
Lexus on doing a marvelous job
of making the vehicle very func-
tional despite of the fact is was
simply State-Of-The-Art in
design.
Power for the new Lexus is a
proven 4.6 Liter 386 horsepower
Four Cam 32-valve V8 engine
with electronically controlled
intake valve timing and dual fuel
injection system. Let us not for-
get we are talking about a full-
size vehicle with nearly 400
horses under the hood and it still
got 24 miles per gallon on the
highway and has a combined 19
miles per gallon. Lexus also
mated this engine to an all-new
8-speed sequential automatic
transmission with drive mode
select with eco/normal & sport
modes. Electronic power steer-
ing system makes handling the
vehicle unbelievable for a vehi-
cle of this size. All this wonder-
ful power transforms itself to the
pavement on Hollow Chamber
18 “ Aluminum alloy wheels
with liquid graphite finish neatly
wrapped by P 235/50R18 “ V-
Rates tires and a full-size spare
to boot. Oh yes Lexus was
thinking big time while putting
this baby together. Leaving no
detail out in the process!
Inside driver and all passengers
are treated to genuine wood/alu-
minum interior trim including
wood/leather steering wheel with
multi-function controls. But the
thing that got me was the heated
and cooled seats and let me tell
you the cool seats are worth
their weight in Gold. Image get-
ting in your vehicle on a hot day
the way the seat normally burns
your backside. In just seconds
the cool function makes that seat
perfect and it got just warm
enough during our weeklong test
period for me to check that out
twice as well as the warm fea-
tures once. A 12.3 inch screen
came in handy for those of us
who wear glasses because it
made the screen so easy to read
and as we told you earlier it was
simply and very driver friendly
to operate. Lexus again gets an
A when they added a touch
remote or joy stick like control
to operate the system. Even the
first time we operated it we
understood how to make the
most of it.
As far as back seat riders goes
the new Lexus LS 460 L had
them in mind as well. The rear
seats has easily the best in class
leg room as well as head and
shoulder room and yes those
seats actually have recline fea-
ture. With a center arm rest that
folds up to make room for three
people the new Lexus again met
the standards and exceeded the
standards of most.
Lexus clearly has the full com-
pliments of airbags, safety cur-
tains, side mounts and knee
airbags as wells as rear side cur-
tain and you name it this vehicle
had it. In addition to the modern
up to date braking system the
new Lexus also has high intensi-
ty discharge Bi-Xenon head-
lamps with adaptive front light-
ing and dynamic auto leveling
and integrated LED fog lamps
and turn signals. The daytime
running lamps and rain-sensing
variable intermittent wipers just
add to a long list of standard fea-
tures.
A few extra features like
Intuitive Park Assist and Auto
Door Closer and stolen vehicle
location emergency Assist
Button (SOS) and enhanced
Roadside Assistance (1-year
trial).
Optional equipment includes a
Mark Levinson 19-speaker with
Single CD/DVD player as part
of the Ultra Luxury package.
With this total package the price
tag goes over 98 Grand but let
me tell you we feel it’s worth
every cent of it. If you are in the
market for a Luxury vehicle you
owe it to yourself to visit you
Lexus dealer and see for your-
self!

A KING-SIZE VIEW
The 2013 Lexus LS 460 L is in a class by itself
In the old days if you wanted
luxury you had give up some
economy but now-a-days you
can actually have both. Thanks
the new Lexus CT 200 Hybrid
you can have the best of both
worlds all for just under 40
Grand. The new 200h is pow-
ered by a 1.8 liter in-line 4-
cylinder DOHC engine with
VVT-I and an electric drive
motor with Lexus hybrid Drive.
This setup is mated to an elec-
tronically controlled continuous-
ly variable transmission
(ECVT). The vehicle also has
electric power rack and pinion
steering and 4-wheel independ-
ent suspension. When it comes
to stopping the new Lexus you
get 4-wheel power assisted front
and rear disc brakes. All this
rolls to the pavement on All-sea-
son P215/45R 17 inch tires
wrapped around 17 inch alu-
minum alloy wheels. All this
comes to 42 miles per gallon in
the city and 40 miles per gallon
on the highway.
All of the above is backed by 4-
year/50,000 miles basic cover-
age, 5-year/70,000 mile power
train warranty, 5-year/unlimited
miles corrosion perforation war-
ranty and an 8-year/100,000
mile hybrid battery /components.
That’s should drive home the
fact Lexus is willing and able to
stand behind their hybrid prod-
ucts year after year.
Inside driver and passengers are
treated with the Lexus touch
with a full-size screen with
backup camera. An optional
Premium package with naviga-
tion with 10-speaker Lexus pre-
mium audio system with auto-
matic sound levelizer and a 90-
day free trial for XM Satellite
radio. Bluetooth technology and
hands free phone is also avail-
able on this model. It’s been
nearly 15 years since we first
test drove a hybrid and we must
admit now it like a regular deal.
Toyota and Lexus have led the
industry in producing these
products and the first question
people ask is what’s the warran-
ty and does it really work? We
can say as we move into our
15th year of being behind the
wheel of hybrid automobiles.
Yes they do work and work very
well at that.
Let us be clear that when you
are driving the new Lexus if you
don’t look at the monitor that
indicates when you are in bat-
tery or electric motor mode or
simply using the gasoline engine
portion you will never know.
The system is just that smooth
and when driver punch the vehi-
cle you get power when you
need it just like any other vehi-
cle.
Lexus goes a step further in
standing behind their products
with a 24-hour/365 day/year
roadside assistance plan along
with complimentary 1st and 2nd
scheduled maintenance service
plus lodging for emergency
breakdowns 100 miles from
home. On top of all this you can
also chat with your Lexus dealer
about an extended service con-
tract.
In closing let me add that this
compact has the same safety fea-
tures of that of a full-size
Luxury sedan and that’s a good
thing.

The 2013 Lexus CT 200h
A King-Size View is onlinewww.kingsizeview.com
The 2013 Toyota Highlander SE
V6 was built with the entire
family in mind. Keep in mind
these SUV of this type simply
put the station wagon out of
business. When you read this
profile you will understand why.
If you go to a soccer field you
will see this and other vehicles
in this class. To begin with the
new Highlander SE has plenty
of space for equipment such as
football helmets and baseball
equipment as well. The rear
cargo area is perfect those who
have articles to carry and grab at
a minute notice. A low reach in
adds to the convenience of this
vehicle. Up front you have a car
like ride and fit and feel so
female driver feel right at home.
Funny how times changes and
the automobile industry has to
adjust to give the people what
they want. That is certainly the
case with the Highlander and
Toyota should be commended
for making things fit the
lifestyles of the people who pay
their hard earned dollars for
these units.
Under the hood is a proven 3.5
Liter DOHC V6 engine produc-
ing 268 horses and has Dual
VVT-I and is mated to a 5-speed
electronically controlled auto-
matic transmission. Front wheel
drive with 4-wheel independent
suspension gives the vehicle
good handling abilities. Yes the
Highlander does meet the stan-
dards for Ultra Low Emission
Vehicle II. Even Hill assist
Control is also on the new
Highlander.
Power comes to the ground on
P245/65R17 105S tires circulat-
ing around a set of 17 inch alloy
wheels. Yes this baby also has a
full-size spare tire with an alloy
wheel to go with it.
Inside the new Highlander you
are greeted to leather heated 8-
way power driver seat with lum-
bar support along with 4-way
passenger seat.
A 40/20/40 reclining-sliding 2nd
row seat with center stow seat
and vinyl 50/50 split fold-flat
3rd row seat. A leather wrapped
steering wheel with audio con-
trols is another of the features
inside the new Toyota
Highlander SE.
A full screen display complete
with a backup camera,
AM/FM/CD.MP3 with USB and
Aux Jack, Bluetooth phone and
screening music multi-informa-
tion display. Optional 8.1 screen
audio display with six speakers
and Sirius XM satellite radio
with a three month free trial
period and much more.
Safety for the Highlander comes
in good quality as well with a 4-
star overall rating by the
NHTSA with 4-stars for both
driver and front seat passenger
in frontal crashes. The side
impact crashes gets a 5-star rat-
ing for both front and rear seat
occupants and the rollover gets a
4-star rating in single vehicle
crashes. More over Toyota’s Star
Safety System includes
enhanced vehicle Stability
Control, Traction control, Anti-
lock brakes system, electronic
brake-force distribution and
brake assist along with Smart
Stop technology. A full compli-
mentary of airbags including
3rd-row curtain and driver knee
airbags, plus active head rests.
Warranties are 3-year 36,000
mile basic coverage and 5-
year/80,000 mile power train
coverage with 5-year/unlimited
mile corrosion perforation cov-
erage.
Yes I would say at a price tag of
a little more than 36 Grand the
new Toyota Highlander is built
with the entire family in mind!

TOYOTA HIGHLANDER SE V-6 BUILT WITH THE ENTIRE FAMILY IN MIND
The 2013 Toyota Highlander SE
By King Arthur Prayther
A King-Size View
Fort Worth, Texas-It’s been quite
a while since we took a small
automobile on the road. That
was the case as we took the new
2014 Scion tC to the Dallas
Metro-plex and found it to be a
pleasantly surprising trip. Yes
when in the past we took smaller
vehicles on the road you had
let’s just say Road Weariness but
that was not the case. The Scion
tC 3- door liftback had plenty of
room upfront and the overall
cockpit was very comfortable.
Yes you would think on a trip
like this a smaller car would get
your attention. It did by is an
unexpectedly pleasing way. The
31 miles on the highway made it
easy for us to make the trip
without having to fuel before we
got there and actually we went
over into Fort Worth and came
back Dallas before we had to
fuel. We were really impressed
when you consider the fact we
are talking about a vehicle that
barely tipped the wallet for just
over 20 grand fully equipped.
One of the strong points was
safety for the new Scion tC with
an overall score of 5-star from
the NHTSA. A 5-star rating for
the frontal crashes on the driver
side and the front passenger gets
a 4-star rating. In side impact
crashes both front and rear seat
passengers get a 5-star rating
and a 4-star rating in rollovers
based on single vehicle acci-
dents. Driver and front passen-
gers advanced airbag system
along with front and rear seat
mounted side airbags. There are
driver and front passenger knee
airbags and both front and rear
side curtains airbags plus and
active front seats head rest. Let
us not forget we are talking
about vehicle that is considered
a compact.
Power comes from a 180 horse-
power 2.5 liter 4-cylinder
DOHC 16 Valve Dual VVTI and
is mated to a 6-speed sequential
automatic transmission. This is
transformed to the road surfaces
on P225/45R 18 tires wrapped
around a set of 18 inch alloy
wheels. When you see this baby
going down the road you first
feel it’s a more expensive vehi-
cle because of his wider stance
and aggressive looking grille up
front and stylish overall look.
The unit handles with best in
class and out performs most due
to Independent Macpherson strut
front suspension and double
wishbone rear suspension.
Electric power steering makes
handling even more fun.
Once you are inside you are sure
to believe you are in a more
expensive vehicle due to the
panoramic glass moon roof with
power tilt/slide. The tilt/tele-
scopic three-spoke leather
wrapped steering wheel with
audio controls making handling
the vehicle a breeze.
Sounds come from a Pioneer
300 Watt AM/FM/CD/HD radio
with 8-speakers Aux/USB port
with iPod connectivity and
Hands free phone capability and
Music Streaming via Bluetooth
wireless technology.
Front sport bucket seats and
60/40 split reclining fold flat
rear seats completes the interior
layout.
In closing please allow me to
add this vehicle also has a full
tank of gasoline and other fea-
tures that include power win-
dows and door locks along with
engine immobilizer.

The world-class thin-film transistor (TFT)LED 3.5-inch grayscale or 7-inch full-color reconfigurable instrument clusterallows the driver to enjoy a customizeduser experience and receive informationand vehicle feedback in the format theyprefer while keeping their hands on thewheel and eyes on the road.
The easy-to-use instrument cluster dis-plays the basic information a driver needsat his or her fingertips but also allows thedriver to add information they desire,similar to an iPhone.
The driver can select from a multitude ofinformation that can be displayed in thecenter of the gauge cluster including turn-by-turn navigation, speed, real-time fueleconomy, safety warnings, availableAdaptive Cruise Control-Plus, audioinformation and Jeep-specific featuresincluding Selec-Terrain.
The available ParkSenseParallel/Perpendicular Park Assist System(first Chrysler Group availability) is dis-played in the center of the gauge clusterand operated with buttons on the steeringwheel and the shifter. The graphic walksthe driver through the steps necessary toutilize the park assist system. Jeepdesigner’s passion for the brand shinesthrough in the park assist screen, whichfeatures a 1941 Jeep Willys graphic oneach side of the open parking space.
An available award-winning 8.4-inchtouchscreen multimedia command center– the largest in the segment – or the stan-dard 5-inch touchscreen multimedia com-mand center are attractive, intuitive andeasy-to-use, and located in the centerstack.

the accessories available that mountsecurely to the rack for secure storagesolutions the adventurous customerdesires.
Safety and SecurityThe new Cherokee was engineered withmore than 70 available safety and securi-ty features. The Jeep Cherokee starts witha strong foundation constructed with 65percent high-strength steel. Engineersthen added both active and passive safetyand security features, including: ChryslerGroup vehicle firsts ParkSenseParallel/Perpendicular Park Assist,Adaptive Cruise Control-Plus, ForwardCollision Warning-Plus, and LaneDeparture Warning-Plus; 9-1-1 assist call;ESC; Electronic Roll Mitigation; Blind-spot Monitoring; Rear Cross Path detec-tion; ParkView rear backup camera withdynamic grid lines and 10 standard airbags.
The ParkSense Parallel/PerpendicularPark Assist feature in the all-new 2014Jeep Cherokee is a first in a ChryslerGroup vehicle. Using ultrasonic parkingsensors on the bumper the system willfind and guide customer into an availableparking space when the driver initiatesparking maneuver. The parking guidancesystem controls the steering angle auto-matically, the driver controls the gearposition, brake, and accelerator. Parallelparking is possible on either side of thecar; during perpendicular parking, thevehicle is backed into the space.
Adaptive Cruise Control-Plus, a first for aChrysler Group vehicle, is significant forits capacity to bring the vehicle to a com-plete stop without driver intervention incertain conditions. Radar and video sen-sors identify the locations of vehiclestraveling ahead of the 2014 JeepCherokee. The sensors also help ensurethe vehicles are separated by a gap deter-mined by the driver. If the gap is dramati-cally breached, the ESC system canaggressively deploy the vehicle’s brakesto affect a full stop, even if the drivernever touches the brake pedal. To resumetravel, the driver need only press a buttonon the steering wheel or tap the accelera-tor pedal.
Forward Collision Warning-Plus, anotherChrysler Group first, addresses traffic-gapchanges when Adaptive Cruise Control-Plus is inactive. When radar and videosensors detect a fast-closing obstacleahead, the system pre-fills the brakes toprepare for emergency driver interven-tion. If collision risk remains, ForwardCollision Warning-Plus correspondinglyratchets up the response with:• audible and visual warnings• a brief brake deployment to alert thedriver• a 1.5-second brake deployment to
quicken the driver’s reaction time• deployment of Advanced Brake Assist(ABA) if the driver is not braking aggres-sively enough
Lane Departure Warning-Plus, which isoffered for the first time in a ChryslerGroup vehicle, uses a camera-basedvision sensor to establish the JeepCherokee’s position on the road. If thereoccurs an unintentional lane drift, deter-mined by trajectory change and theabsence of turn-signal activation, the sys-tem will deliver a visual warning and ahaptic warning – the subtle introductionof torque from the electric power steering(EPS) system. If the driver unintentional-ly drifts too far, the system provides asecondary visual warning.
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee boasts numbersthat make the difference for the SUV cus-tomer that cares about fuel economy andcapability in all weather conditions —fuel economy improvements of more than45 percent, more than 70 safety and secu-rity features, numerous industry and seg-ment “firsts,” a nine-speed automatictransmission, a 3.2-liter Pentastar V-6engine with 271 horsepower and 239 lb.-ft. of torque, a 2.4-liter MultiAir2Tigershark I-4 engine with 184 horse-power and 171 lb.-ft. of torque, nearly500 miles driving range on a tank ofgasoline and three new, innovative 4x4systems that deliver legendary Jeep capa-bility including crawl ratios of 56:1 withthe 2.4-liter engine and 47.8:1 with the3.2-liter engine, an improvement of up to90 percent versus the outgoing model.
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee competes in themid-size SUV segment, the largest SUVsegment in North America, with roughly2 million sales in 2012.

Upcoming High-Tech
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
Additionally, Mitsubishi Motors
showcased the company’s
upcoming energy-efficient and
eco-friendly new Outlander
PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric
vehicle) at the 2013 New York
International Auto Show with a
unique full-scale cutaway model
of this highly advanced and sus-
tainable new vehicle.
Expected to land in Mitsubishi
Motors showrooms in 2014, the
new Outlander PHEV is pow-
ered by a unique hybrid drive-
train that combines the innova-
tive 100% electric-powered
componentry including a pair of
reliable 60 kW (80-bhp) electric
motors that have been reconfig-
ured for the Outlander applica-
tion as well as a proven lithium-
ion drive battery pack along
with a highly fuel-efficient gaso-
line-powered engine.
All 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander
PHEV models come equipped as
standard with a truly innovative
and advanced new form of the
auto manufacturer’s venerable
Super All-Wheel Control (S-
AWC) all-wheel drive system
that takes advantage of the vehi-
cle’s primary motive force
through the use of the front and
rear electric motors, making the
system a 100% electric-powered,
EV-based full-time all-wheel
drive. These electric-powered
motors produce instantaneous,
virtually lag-free power that
ensures more precise control of
the 4WD as this configuration
requires no propeller shaft,
clutch plate or hydraulic system
to connect the front and rear
axles in a conventional internal
combustion engine/hydraulic-
powered 4WD system.
What’s more, the twin electric
motor/Super All-Wheel Control
(S-AWC) system provides out-
standing instantaneous off-the-
line acceleration, thanks to the
inherent torque characteristics of
electric motors.

In Loving Memory of James E. McGinty
Cypress, Texas-Offensive line-
men don’t always get their just
due on the football field. While
out covering the Cy-Creek
Cowboys the other weekend we
ran into an interesting lineman.
The 2nd grader at Frazier
Elementary Schools liked sci-
ence best in the classroom.
Interesting enough to tough line-
man added if he was in charge
he would probably do away with
home work. He simply said he
feels teachers should be able to
cram it all into the school day
but he later added he would
mind having a little homework
in his science class. Over the
years kids have always simply
said what’s on their minds and
that is a good thing. However
on the field Perry was willing to
work overtime blocking for his
runningback Christien
Sattiewhite and protecting his
QB Dylan Doss. After talking a
while with Tyrique he admitted
he loved Science enough to
work harder on it after school
and he really feels pretty good
about attending Frazier
Elementary School.
As far as the game went the
thrilling 7-6 win Perry said his
team played pretty good and he
looks forward to more games so
he and his teammates can get
better and win more games.

LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: TYRIQUE PERRY - COWBOYS
Cypress, Texas-When you are in
a nick and tuck game with only
one point between the two
teams defense is a key. Despite
playing with deep bruise on his
right arm Jayren Stephens took
matters into his own hands as
the defensive end turn back run-
ners from the Marlins. From his
defensive end position Stephens
controlled the line of scrimmage
and helped the Cowboys to a 7-
6 victory before a good crowd.
A second grader at Holbrook
Elementary Stephens says he
feel pretty good about the way
the school in ran and would not
change anything if they made
him the Principal. In the class-
room he likes Math best and
says he feels he’s good at it as
well. Detroit Lions All-Pro
Calvin Johnson is his favorite
NFL player. In his spare time
Jayren likes to play NFL games
on the computer and from the
looks of his play he does well
on the field also. A tremendous-
ly effort is being made by the
Cy-Fair School district in build-
ing youth athletics and they are
still going strong.
Time surely flies because it has-
n’t been that long since Joe
Stephens was playing linebacker
himself at Smiley high school.
He is excited he and his wife
has 3 boys and two are already
playing football and the
youngest is only 4 months old
but he will be ready in little or
no time!

Cypress, Texas-After a tough
year of going winless QB Dylan
Doss says things are going to be
different in 2013. “Sir last year
we did not win a game and
sometimes we didn’t even score
any points but we are going to
be better this time around. The
student from Adams Elementary
School says he feels the team is
ready to play football this time
around. Sporting his plays on
his left arm Dylan and his team-
mates are looking for bigger and
better things this fall. “If we
don’t score points our coaches
give us some extra laps to run so
we wanted to avoid those extra
laps today”.
With the game on the line and
fourth down the Marlins blitz
and tried to separate the ball
from Dylan but the kid held on
tight as he fell to the ground and
the clock ran out on the next
play. Getting the ball to running
back Christien Sattiewhite most
of the day Dylan did a good job
with their game plan as they
maintain ball control and the
won the close game 7-6.
We certainly want to applaud the
Cy-Fair School district for help-
ing to keep their youth involved
in athletics year round.
If you fast forward a few years
you be seen Dylan directing his
high school team to the playoffs.
But first things first he says he
and the Cy-Creek Cowboys 8
and 9 year guys are out to win
some games this fall. Fact is he
said this showing in their spring
league is only the beginning of
bigger and better things for the
Cowboys!

Cypress, Texas-We have a spe-
cial profile for you this time
around and we think you’ll like
what you read. Fact is the Cy-
Fair ISD has always been one of
the tops in the country when it
comes to youth athletics and that
is still the case today. They
actually have a spring football
league; yes we meant to say a
little league that plays football in
the spring. Thanks to Joe
Stephens of Con-way Freight we
were invited out to see the
action and found it to be inter-
esting. More than 20 years ago
we officiated youth basketball in
the Cy-Fair Sport Association.
Man, this certainly brought back
memories to say the least. Keep
in most of the youths are actual-
ly playing little league baseball
and some are participating in
Track and field, but to keep their
programs sharp they added this
spring league to the mix. It’s
working because about 5 teams
saw action and we had the
opportunity to see the 8 and 9
year-old players. Head coach
Byron Swisher and his staff had
their team ready to play and we
also noted they had their plays
on their sleeves so they are
doing it high tech. Giving play-
ers this kind of teaching at such
an early age certainly has its
rewards. We know that to be a
fact because the Studewood
Cobras will have at least two or
three players drafted in the NFL
this year!
The Cy-Creek Cowboys won 7-
6 over the Hiram Clark Marlins
in a close one. Christien
Sattiewhite ran for the score
behind some good blocking by
Tyrique Perry and the rest of the
offensive line. While defensive
end Jayren Stephens led their
defense that allowed a touch-
down but now PAT and held on
to win the game. The smaller
guys from the Cowboys won big
over the Marlins earlier in the
day.
Having cheerleaders and team
moms out for spring game is a
wonderful ideal and we know
this league will do better and so
well the Cowboys. Having a
tough year last season the team
is out to make a run at the play-
offs in 2013. We plan to cover
more on this heartwarming story
and we certainly want to thank
Joe Stephens who played his
high school football at Smiley
High School for asking us out!

We’ve got a great student for
you this time around in our
series of Fiesta Student of the
Week. He’s 3rd grade at Burrus
Elementary school and a straight
A student this year. The hand-
some son of Tara and Cephus
Brown is very interested in
comic and loves the comic Dead
Pool. But his major plan is to get
into designing his very own
comic strip. That’s a wonderful
thing seeing a youngster wanting
to get into the business side of
comical strip industry.
In the classroom Spencer just
loves reading comics and says
he is very interested in having
his very own because he feels he
has something to offer to the
industry. Brown has the talent to
draw and has his mind made up
on what he wants to do in his
adult life.
When asked about President
Barack Obama becoming the
first African American President
of the United States Spencer
quickly said he feels it a great
thing. “It’s just wonderful and I
love the confidence the
President shows while speaking,
he let you know he is in control
of the situation on hand”.
On the subject of school changes
Brown made it clear if he would
become Principal at Burrus
Elementary he would simply do
away with the school Uniform
dress code. “I just think stu-
dents should be able to dress the
way they like as long as it is in
clean taste and not have every-
one walking around with the
same thing on”.
The Boston Marathon Bombing
has made the news with both
suspects facing justice we got
Spencer thoughts on that. He
said while shaking his head peo-
ple just always doing stupid
things that winds up hurting
other people”.
If given a chance to live his
short life over Spencer said he
would change nothing because
he feels he has pretty much got-
ten the most of life so far. He
added he visits True Light
Missionary Baptist Church and
says he likes what he sees there.
Describing himself as a funny
guy who is also nice and easy
going, Brown made it clear
again he thinks a good comic
can brighten up people lives
with a little fun.
Other than his family Brown
said his teachers at Burrus do a
wonderful job of making his
days at the north side school
interesting and keeps him on the
right path.
The sooner one makes up their
mind on what they want in life,
the job of reaching ones goal is
closer in reach!

Cypress, Texas-Little League
Spring football yes that’s what
we meant to say. Thanks to a tip
from parent Joe Stephens we got
wind of the fact the Cy-Fair area
is still taking care of business
when it comes to youth athletics.
Fact is they have a spring foot-
ball league. The Cy-Creek
Cowboys faced the Hiram Clark
Marlins in the 8 and 9 year old
age group. With a thriller of a
finish the Cowboys edged the
Marlins 7-6 as running back
Christien Sattiewhite scored the
winning touchdown. The set-
back said he loves attending
Frazier Elementary school but if
they made him the Principal he
would do away with school uni-
forms. He went on to add he
wonders why does the 5th
graders get their lunch period
before the 4th graders do. Those
are good questions and hopeful-
ly the school officials will give
him an answer. But back to the
matter at hand Christien said he
was taught how to stiff arm a
would be tackler by his uncle
(Jessie Washington). “My uncle
showed me that a long time ago
and when I saw him coming I
just simply put my arm and out
and scored the touchdown.
Sattiewhite added he and his
squad must keep following their
coaching staff in order to win
more games. “If we do what
they say we have a chance to be
a good team this fall because
today showed we can win a
close game. The final score 7-6
is about a close as it gets. So the
Cowboys open the spring foot-
ball play with a win and for this
group it’s a good start for better
times ahead.

My mind goes back to May of
1970 when we first came to
Houston and my brother Charlie
told me to tune in to KYOK AM
1590. That was the first time I
actually heard Rick Roberts on
the radio and man I was so
impressed it made me feel good
about going into the broadcast
industry. It was Rick Roberts
who seems to be having so
much fun in the radio and yet he
had a very serious side to go
along with his shucking and jiv-
ing. KYOK was the one people
listen too all over the Texas Gulf
Coast and they were involved in
all the concerns and made it
their business to be part of the
community they served. Roberts
along with the late Brother
George Nelson on the Gospel
side kept the public informed on
what was going on.
It all started when Claude
“Rick” Roberts was born on
November 11, 1941 in Houston,
Texas. While at very young age
his father took him to see
George Prather of KGBC in
Galveston, Texas and it sold
Rick on radio for his feature.
Reports say that Prather was the
first African American on the
radio live in the southwest and
he broadcast while in a wheel
chair. A few year later while at
B. H Grimes elementary school
Roberts had the pleasure of
meeting Vernon Chambers of
KCOH AM 1430 ad that
inspired Rick more and he was
sure. After going to Ryan mid-
dle school the Roberts family
moved to Maggie Street in
Sunnyside and Rick went on
attend Evan E. Worthing high
school. It was then in the 10th
grade he entered a radio talent
contest and won first place.
That netted him a chance to
attend The Texas Academy of
Broadcasting scholarship and he
was on his way to one of the
most exciting radio careers of
All-times. While working at
KYOK part time and finishing
high school Rick learned the
ropes of the industry and once
he graduated in 1960 he went
full-time.
On Decemb4re 17, 1961 Rick
Married the lovely and talented
Mable Jewel (Adkins) and the
couple went on to produce four
children from this union
(Michael/Monica, Kevin Craig,
Kecia Michonne and Latoyua
Chandre. They have two grand-
daughters in Chantoya Mikelle
Taylor and Kacielyn Amiyah
Roberts.
Just when things started to roll
with Roberts he was uprooted to
WBOK in New Orleans,
Louisiana. But Rick took his
new job in strive and continued
to grow in the profession. He
went onto meet Dick
Oppenheimer and Oppenheimer
brought Roberts back to
Houston and KYOK in 1967. It
was then Roberts started on a 21
year string of nothing but the
best in broadcasting and set new
standards for blacks in the
industry. Joining the late Rev. L.
J Woodard to help with the
Christian Rescue Mission pro-
vided food and clothing for the
needy. Roberts did radiothons
for the Eliza Johnson House for
the Aged and many other busi-
nesses in our community.
In the late 60 Rick recorded a
song called “Merry Christmas
World” using the voice of a
character he created (Rutabaga)
and it should have been a hit.
The studio time was purchased
by the late Mildred Jones of the
famous Jones sister and pro-
duced by Andre Williams. We
hope to fine Williams so we can
put it on the market. Thanks to
Joe Harris who had a copy on
cassette we were able to get Vel
Locks to digital re-master it for
us and we gave Rick a copy of
it. More on that as we get infor-
mation to get it done the proper
way.
The union with a fine young
salesman named Don Rosette
who later became sales manager
and later KYOK AM station
manager. But the Southern
graduate had the upmost respect
for Roberts and the two worked
together on some record setting
projects and kept building the
KYOK name into the legendary
station it went on to become.
Rosette and Roberts teamed up
to help little Shana Wilkerson
raised 62 thousand dollars for a
liver transplant.

Roberts also help the Kashmere
Stage Band raise more than 50
Thousand Dollars for a trip to a
Festival overseas. It was
Roberts who went on a live
remote to help the NAACP start
up again after it had closed its
door in Houston at one point.
As the years went by Roberts
continued to set the standards as
he took to the mike on the air
more than two days none stop to
provide information for
Hurricane Alisa in the early 80s.
Roberts moved on to take over
the airways doing play-by-play
for HISD sports, Grambling,
Prairie View and Texas Southern
sports. He served as the on-site
engineer as well as producer of
these great radio broadcasts and
working with announcers from
Brother George Nelson, Ralph
Cooper and Myron Anderson
and Bill German to name a few.
One thing was clear during these
broadcasts in Rick Roberts was
taking charge.
By the time the late 80s rolled
around KYOK had been sold
and was under their third owner
former Green Packer Willie
Davis. With more than 21 con-
secutive record breaking years
Roberts left KYOK and moved
over to KTSU 90.9 FM. He con-
tinued his trend of setting a new
standard and turns KTSU into
one of the city’s most powerful
vehicles. Through all of this
Roberts managed to hire many
of the names you hear on the
radio all over the city and the
country as far as that goes. Let
just start with the new KCOH
1230 AM Michael Harris,
Steven Talton, Tommy D.
Armstrong, Ralph Cooper and
Don Samuel. Taking a look at
KTSU these days to name a few
guys Little Rickie Williams,
Rev. Charles Hudson and Slick
Rick Lauderdale.
Due to Health reasons Roberts
retired in 2000 after more than
42 years on the air. Somewhere
between mid-night and day
break on March 2-3 Roberts suf-
fered a massive stroke and never
spoke another word before pass-
ing away on March 21, 2013.
Ending one of the greatest voic-
es of all-times and closing a
chapter of Broadcasting excel-
lent like non-other this country
has seen!
When I turn on the radio now-a-
days it’s just not the same with-
out hearing the voice of Rick
Roberts because I knew that
voice really cared about the peo-
ple listening to him and he tried
his best to make you feel what
he was doing as well as made
you want to become part of it.
In February 2007 Fiesta honored
Rick Roberts at the 14th Annual
Black Heritage Celebration with
the newly founded Fiesta
Lifetime Achievement Award. It
was my pleasure to present him
this award as well as take him to
TSU basketball game that night.
Sitting on the porch talking
about old times Rick gave me
the courage to keep working on
my publication and inspired me
to talk with people in the enter-
tainment industry and he told me
they are just people like anyone
else. The Legendary Millie
Jackson was one of those who
sent flowers to Rick’s Home
going services and that just
showed how many lives Rick
touched during his career.
The angels are probably gath-
ered around Rick Roberts right
now waiting on him to tell them
some of those entertainment sto-
ries!

Johnson new Gospel CD, Blues
legend Artie “Blues Boy “White
passed away at his home in
Chicago. After a long illness he
departed but not before leaving
some of the best recordings of
down home blues.
Born on April 16, 1937 Artie
White started out singing gospel
at age 11 with a group called the
Harps of David. He soon moved
to Chicago in 1956 and quickly
begun recording singles.
Receiving a good bit of success
for his 1977 hit “You are my
leanin Tree”, White continued to
work hard until he released his
first full album in 1984. In 1987
he signed with Ichiban and had
several album releases with
them including “Thangs got to
Change” in 1989, and Best of
Artie White in 1991.
A few years later White recorded
for Waldoxy an affiliated studio
with Malaco Records. That last-
ed for about four years and then
Artie started his own label called
A Chill Town and produced sev-
eral CDs including one with Lee
Shot Williams “Chicago Deep in
2003 on P-Vine.
His latest CD was “Package
Deal” in 2005 shortly after that
time White became ill and never
fully recovered.
Highly respected in the Business
during his sick time he got visits
from such notables as Millie
Jackson among others.

The month of February 2013
will always be a tough month
for me to look back on. For
while in the midst of grieving
for my brother (Charlie
Winston) passing on February
7th, we were told a day later that
world famous listening Back DJ
Myron Anderson had passed on
the same day. They say the
Lord knows just how much we
can bare but let me this you this
is a great deal.
Myron Anderson was born on
October 15, 1949 in Sunnyside
Community of Southeast
Houston, Texas. He confessed
Christ at age 10 at Pentecostal
Missionary Baptist Church and
quickly became the speaker on
many programs. Anderson later
joined East Macedonia Baptist
Church and his love for music
was enhanced when the joined
the choir. Myron credited his
mother Mrs. Odell Anderson for
keeping him on the straight and
narrow path. Playing little
league baseball Anderson went
on to attend B. H Grimes and
Thornton M. Fairchild
Elementary schools and Crispus
Attucks Junior high before grad-
uating from Evan E. Worthing
high school. After attending San
Jac Junior College a couple of
semesters Anderson transferred
to Texas Southern University as
a part time student while work-
ing at Hughes Tool.
In February 1981 Myron did a
Black History Program on radio
station KTSU 90.9 FM and it
was so well received they asked
him back time and time again.
Before long Anderson Listening
Back Program had set standard
for going back to the music you
grew up listening to. Ten years
later Myron secured Fiesta as a
corporate sponsor and that
allowed him to move forward
taking his program to a new
level. Thus Listening Back
Memorabilia was born and T-
shirts, Caps and Satin Jackets
became some of the prizes you
could win by listening to his
program. He also gave away
Listening Back CDs with some
of the greatest music of all-times
on it.
In May of 1987 Myron received
his B S degree
Telecommunication from TSU.
He even took time to do TSU
Sports on the radio as well all
kind of functions going on in
our community. This simply
made him a household name and
he began to emcee shows
involving such legends as
Smokey Robinson, Johnny Nash
and his beloved Temptations.
Going on to have the now
famous Listening Back parties in
which he would do lip-sync
shows with a group as they dress
up like the Temptation and per-
formed those world famous
songs. Former KYOK AM 1590
announcer Mickey Hobbs was a
member of that group. Their act
ran strongly from 1982 through
1999. All over the city of
Houston Anderson went about
his business of creating interest
in music from days gone by.
Every Friday morning from 6
AM until 10 AM he would take
us down memory lane and we
certainly miss that flavor Myron
had with his shows.
For the past 7 years Myron was
married to Beth Anderson and
she wrote a good note in the
funeral program for Anderson
ending in the words “Rest On,
My Sweetie”.
At last check KTSU had “Slick
“ Rick Lauderdale on the Friday
Morning run and we know Rick
will do a good job.
The family of Myron Anderson
thanked the staff at North
Cypress Medical Center includ-
ing nurses and Doctors who
gave Myron outstanding care
during his last days. They also
thank the KTSU Family,
Windsor Village United
Methodist Church, The ultimate
Faith Family and all his
Listening Back supporters over
the years.

Fiesta and King Arthur
Productions are pleased to
announce that the 4th Annual
Kevin Marshall Conference,
March, and Rally was a great
success. The conference began
with a Panel discussion that was
led by Bishop James W.E.
Dixon, II, Pastor of the
Community of Faith, and
Interim Pastor of the True Light
Missionary Baptist Church. The
panel participants included: Rev.
John Bowie, Pastor Emeritus,
True Light Missionary Baptist
Church; Sis. April L. Carson,
Parole Officer with the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice;
Sis. Tasha Lee, Academic
Advisor for Lone Star College;
Minister Eric Muhammad of the
Nation of Islam; Bro. Reginald
Gordon, a former inmate and
vice president of a rehabilitation
program for prison inmates and
at-risk youth; and Bro. Athill
Muhammad, Attorney at Law.
To close out the conference,
Rev. Gordon Thomas, Pastor of
Perfecting Ministries Church
delivered a powerful message
that brought very one to their
feet.
Directly following the confer-
ence the participants marched
behind the Marshall family and
to the beat of the Booker T.
Washington High School and the
High School for the Engineering
Professions’ Baby Ocean of Soul
Marching Band. The parade con-
cluded at Burrus Elementary
school, where Principal Jesse
Woods a veteran principal at
Burrus Elementary School and
within the Houston Independent
School District, has transformed
Burrus Elementary School into
one of the best elementary
schools in the city of Houston. It
has also become a beacon for
the Independence Heights Super-
Neighborhood community.
At Burrus Elementary School
the participants had an opportu-
nity to Rally and to encourage
young men not to turn on each
other but, to turn to each other
for support and assistance.
Officer Steven Baines of the
HISD Gang Task Force, stressed
that all parents should involve
themselves in the lives of their
children and notice who their
children’s friends are. He added
to always check the attire of
their children and to look out for
any changes in their behavior.
There was also a variety of food,
games, and a performance by the
SWAT dance team. Participants
even had an opportunity to get
their “grove on” and dance to
the sounds of DJ Mike Jones.
The Rally concluded with a
gigantic THANK YOU from the
Marshall family.

Marshall family greets city counsel representative People out in force to support Kevin Marshall
Spring is here, even though the
weather may be a bit deceiving.
Summer is just around the cor-
ner and school will be out soon.
We are blessed with some great
spring weather and bicycling
and hiking are two great ways to
get outside and get some exer-
cise. If you don’t know, there are
a number of ways to get around
our city that don’t involve trav-
eling on the roads.
There is a trend in the nation to
remove main line railroad tracks.
In many cases these right of
ways are used for highway
expansion. Two examples in
Houston are the tracks that ran
along the Katy Freeway (I-10
East). These tracks, once owned
by the MKT Railroad, were
removed during the I-10 rebuild
which was completed in 2008.
Although the project made com-
muting much easier for people
living on the West Side, it did
nothing to assist bicyclists. A
link was promised to connect the
Hershey Park Trail to the
Addicks Park and Ride Lot and
later to the Cullen Park Trail. It
was never completed.
A second set of tracks were
removed along what is not the
Westpark Tollway. These tracks
were secured by Metro to allow
the toll road to be built. Again,
there was never a benefit to
those that do not drive.
In many other cities, especially
in the north, abandoned railroad
tracks were turned into some-
thing very green many years
ago. Rails to Trails projects exist
in great numbers. In Indiana, for
example, The Cardinal
Greenway is a 62 mile paved
trail that spans from Marion to
Richmond. It was started in
1992.
Houston has gotten on the band-
wagon even if it is a little later
than other areas. Here we can
enjoy paved hiking and biking
trails that allow travel around
town. If you know where these
trails are you can ride all over
our city in relative safety. These
trips can be combined with bus
transportation as all Metro
busses are equipped with bike
racks. Metro light rail trains
allow bicycles during non-peak
hours.
Some of the better known trails
in our town are:
The Brays Bayou Trail mean-
ders along Brays Bayou from
MacGregor Park to Gessner.
This approximately 12 mile trail
along the bayou was built by
Harris County and is maintained
by County Precinct 3, Precinct
1, and Precinct 2. The trail can
be accessed through the Houston
Zoo and has a few grade level
crossings once you are outside
the Loop. This trail is built on a
shelf below ground level and
above river level on the Brays
Bayou until you get to Loop 610
then it runs at surface level.
Currently the trail in undergoing
improvements and there may be
a couple of bridge detours along
the way. After heavy rains the
level of the Bayou may rise
enough to cover the trail so be
careful! This is one of the oldest
trails in our city and is narrower
than most. The views of Rice
University and the Medical
Center are a wonderful distrac-
tion while running or riding.
The Harrisburg-Sunset Trail is
a Rails to Trails project offering
bicyclists and pedestrians over 5
miles of trail and on-street bike-
ways just east of downtown
Houston. The 10-foot asphalt
trail is lighted and runs from
Drennan to Marsden, and from
Avenue H to Hidalgo Park. The
on-street portion of the trail
includes segments from
Commerce and McKee, to
Commerce and Drennan, and
from Garrow and Marsden to
Avenue H and West Hendrick.
This trail offers access to
Downtown and the three stadi-
ums on the East Side of
Downtown. It also has connec-
tions to other trails and on street
bikeways. Completed in 2003,
this trail is a joint project funded
by the City of Houston and
Metro.
The Columbia Tap Trail is a
Rails-to-Trials conversion proj-
ect which consists of over 4
miles of a 10-foot wide, con-
crete, multi-use hike and bike
trail along the old Columbia Tap
railroad.
The trail corridor extends from
Dixie Drive past Polk Street and
into downtown, along the former
Union Pacific Railroad right-of-
way creating a greenway corri-
dor in the Third Ward and down-
town area. The project is bound
by Dowling Street on the west
and Scott Street on the east. The
Union Station Extension con-
nects Minute Maid Park with a
trail that will take you to the
main campus of the University
of Houston. It is also a great
way to get to the Toyota Center
and BBVA Compass Stadium.
The West White Oak Bayou
Trail offers bicyclists and pedes-
trians almost 5 miles of 10-foot
wide concrete and asphalt trail
with 2-foot shoulders on each
side. The trail is lighted and
includes railings in some areas.
The trail runs along the bayou
and T. C. Jester Park, parallel to
T. C. Jester Boulevard, from
11th Street to Pinemont. This
beautiful trail allows access
from Downtown to the near
northwest side inside the loop.
There are many more trails in
this town waiting to be discov-
ered. Many are lighted and
available 24 hours. In addition,
our city has a network of bike
lanes along major routes. In the
city, there are over 300 miles of
interconnected bike lanes, bike
routes, sign-shared lanes. If you
wish to ride a bikeway or bicy-
cle trail remember to be courte-
ous to others and obey the rules.
Most of the rules are common
sense. Keep to the right. Pass
hikers and other bikes only
when save and identify yourself
(A quick “ON YOUR LEFT”)
will make passing safer. Respect
others but watch for children
and dogs. Don’t leave trash on
the trails. Although not required,
a good bicycle helmet may help
save your life.
Information on these and other
trails can be found at
http://www.houstonbikeways.org
, a comprehensive website run
by the city. Get our and ride
safe. It is a great way to get out
and about!

HOUSTON BIKEWAYS
Out and About
with John Engel
Hey lovers and want to be
lovers. I don’t take that lightly,
there are some people desperate-
ly looking or seeking Love. Do
you have any friends that feel
this way? Do they feel they
can’t face life without someone
in their lives, which sometimes
spells disaster? Women and a
select group of men can be so
desperate that they put their
children and even themselves
last. It so important that these
men and women are in a rela-
tionship, they make poor deci-
sions when it comes to choosing
a mate. A partner is supposed to
complement you not plummet
you, if you know what I mean.
Love causes the nicest and most
loving person to take abuse that
is not normal in any relationship
it happens every day, and even
leads to the loss of life or the
abuse of the children. If you
know someone in that type of
situation try to help them or
help them get some type of help
before it is too late. Love should
be wonderful thing especially
when it is clicking on all cylin-
ders.
Let’s think of our relationship as
a car. A car needs regular main-
tenance, or it will eventually
break down. I think if some of
us took care of their relationship
like we do our vehicles, your
significant others would love
you to death, and I don’t mean
that in a bad way. Here’s the
scenario, you take your car to
the car wash clean it up real
good. You take a special pride in
your automobile, and then you
take it out that night to show it
off. The same could and should
apply to your mate. Try it some-
times. The person you are with
wants to feel important, and
want you take them out from
time to time and be shown off,
it’s just human nature, or should
I say woman’s nature.
KCOH has changed ownership
and frequency. We can now be
heard on 1230am and of course

rently working on my twitter
account, just trying to keep up
with the times.
The top love songs for the
month are 1 Just Say Yes The
Whispers 2 It’s You That I Need
Enchantment 3 Our Love
Natalie Cole 4 So Amazing
Luther Vandross and 5 Get Here

So until next time keep a little
love in your heart, the look of
love in your eyes, and don’t let
a day go bye without telling
someone you love them, even if
that someone is you.
We are pleased to announce that
we have two outstanding young
ladies to be selected as King-
size Movers and Shakers for the
month of April. Kaylan Marie
Thomas and Kyla Milan Thomas
are the daughters of Pastor
Gordon Thomas and First Lady
Vonda Kay Thomas.
Both young ladies are extremely
active in their father’s church,
Perfecting Ministries Church
which is located in Sugar Land,
Texas. During my interview of
the two sisters, I discovered that
both sisters were very good stu-
dents with excellent behavior
and good attendance at school.
When I asked them about their
future, both young ladies plan
on going to college with model-
ing and acting as possible career
fields. In his younger days,
Pastor Thomas was a marathon
runner and a basketball player in
high school. As I closed out my
interview, First Lady Vonda
Thomas informed me that both
young ladies were very athletic
and competed internationally as
Cheerleaders. Pastor Thomas
added that he has taught them
that God can “empower them”,
“enable them”, and “equip
them” to be anything they want
to be and do anything they want
to do, if they allowed him to
lead them. Amazingly, both sis-
ters stated that they were truly
blessed and believed that they
had the best parents in the whole
world.
I was truly impressed by these
two young ladies and I know
that we will hear wonderful
things about them in the very
near future.

Perfecting time simply does not
exist. I've realized that the PER-
FECT time is now. This month I
challenge you to not put off
another day waiting for the right
conditions to do things that
you've dreamed of.
Waiting often means you are
procrastinating and simply
adding to your list of excuses.
Whether it is an exotic vacation
or simply dabbing on your most
expensive cologne every day.
We often find ourselves waiting
either for the right mate, or for
our finances to reach an amount
that will land us on the cover of
Fortune 500 magazine. Although
both of those scenarios are ideal,
if that's not quite where you are
at this moment, it should in no
way stop you from going out
and doing things that you've
dreamed of.
Finances most often are a factor
in most things but if you plan,
save and above all believe you
can and will do it, all things are
possible. Some things may take
some planning, while other
things might start with wearing
your best outfit not just for a
special occasion but just to sim-
ply make you feel special.
There is often a laundry list of
what you must complete before
you feel comfortable with "treat-
ing" yourself
When I retire
When the kids graduate
When I lose 10lbs
And I'm sure you have many to
add...
Lets just instead replace that
with:
Today I'm putting a down pay-
ment on my dream vacation
Today I'm going out to dinner
and having steak and lobster
(one of personal faves)
Today I'm going to pursue my
dream
"Don't wait for the perfect
moment, take the moment and
make it perfect".

Boston Friday April 19, 2013.
Both of the suspects in the
Boston Marathon Bombing were
being sought in Boston as city
residents were instructed to
remain indoors. I thought about
the bombing all week as the
nation watched the terror of the
citizens of Boston grip with had
happened. We must face the fact
that security around sporting
events, even local sporting
events will change even more
so. Never would I have thought
that innocent people enjoying a
fun-loving event like the Boston
Marathon would face the assault
that took place Monday April
15, 2013. Let’s take a look at
what we be facing:
1. Expect even more searches
before entering stadiums-Just a
minute Big John; I will be
searched to go to a high school
game? Yes I think a search of
fans will be something that will
be announced in the very near
future. Millions of fans attend
high school and youth athletic
games around the country. Terror
groups love to target events that
draw huge crowds and trust me
they will likely set their sights
on athletic events where large
numbers of people will be. We
must be prepared to arrive early
at games and await the searches
before entering the stadium.
2. Look for increased security
checks entering the parking
lot-This is something that has to
happen. We must become aware
of strange vehicles and the
patrons that arrive in them.
Security will limit where fans
can park and will remove vehi-
cles that park illegally. Cars will
be towed if needed, so again
arrive early and park in a good
spot.
3. Expect to see more security
around the stadium-You will
soon see more security
patrolling stadiums. They will
inform fans to find a seat, and
will be watching fans as the
move around during the game.
Let’s face it; young fans like to
chit/chat with their friends, inter-
act with other fans beside watch
the game (we were young many
years ago and did the same
thing). They should still be
allowed to do that-it’s part of
growing up and become mature
adults. But safety is priority #1
and we can never forget that.
What happened in Boston is a
reminder that in a split second,
lives can be changed forever!
4. Quick exit after the game-
Fans will be encouraged to leave
the stadium once the contest
ends. By moving people out of
the parking lot, security can
patrol the area and ensure the
safety of the teams and other
personnel around the facility.
Terrorist would love to plant
explosives especially when the
stadium area is clear. Security
staff can patrol without dealing
with fans that simply don’t want
to leave.
I understand many of you may
feel that all this ‘extra security’
is unnecessary and a big waste
of time. I felt like that at many
events I have attended and just
kept saying to myself ‘we’re not
in a war zone; why do we have
to go thru this?’ But the events
during the week of 4/15/13 -
4/19/13 changed my thoughts.
We can’t allow people that hate
us make us afraid to live our
lives and enjoy the many things
GOD has provided for us. We
must remember to push safety as
our top priority and be ‘our
brother’s keeper’. I listened to
my song from Wilton Felder and
Bobby Womack and the classic
line encouraged me even more;
‘IF YOU CAN KEEP YOUR
HEAD WHILE OTHERS
AROUND ARE LOSING
THEIRS, YOU CAN I�HERIT
THE WI�D’
We are going forward.
That’s just the way I see it!

Dear reader, if we study ourBibles, we will find that Christ,and those that followed him suf-fered many things. They werethought of as drunks (Acts 2:1-15), foolish men (Matt.11:25-27; John7:14-17; Acts 4:10-13;1Cor.4:9-16), weaklings(1Cor.1:18-31; 2Cor.10:1-10;11:21-30; 13:1-14), and even aCULT, see sect:
Acts 24:1 And after five daysAnanias the high priest descend-ed with the elders, and with acertain orator named Tertullus,who informed the governoragainst Paul. 2 And when hewas called forth, Tertullus beganto accuse him, saying, Seeingthat by thee we enjoy greatquietness, and that very worthydeeds are done unto this nationby thy providence, 3 We acceptit always, and in all places, mostnoble Felix, with all thankful-ness. 4 Notwithstanding, that Ibe not further tedious unto thee,I pray thee that thou wouldesthear us of thy clemency a fewwords. 5 For we have found thisman a pestilent fellow, and amover of sedition among all theJews throughout the world, anda ringleader of the (1)sect ofthe (2)�azarenes: (KJV)
Definitions: (1)sect of the-139hairesis (hah’-ee-res-is); from138; properly, a choice, i.e.(specially) a party or (abstract-ly) disunion 4) a body of menfollowing their own tenets (sector party) c) used of theChristians 5) dissensions aris-ing from a diversity of opinionsand aims KJV— heresy [whichis the Greek word itself], sect.(2)nazarenes-3480 Nazoraios(nad-zo-rah’-yos); from 3478; aNazoraean, i.e. inhabitant ofNazareth; by extension, aChristian, Nazarite = “one sep-arated”; 2) a title given to Jesusin the New Testament 3) a namegiven to Christians by the Jews,Acts 24:5: KJV— Nazarene, ofNazareth.
According to the Scriptures suf-ferings are appointed untoChristians. We believe theseSUFFERINGS though are justthe tip of the iceberg, and thatthe whole iceberg is to keep our-selves UNSPOTTED from theWORLD! James 1:27 Pure reli-gion and undefiled before Godand the Father is this, To visitthe fatherless and widows intheir affliction, and to keep him-self (1)unspotted from the(2)world. (KJV)
Definitions: unspotted -784aspilos-1) spotless 2) metaphori-cally, a) free from censure, irre-proachable b) free from vice,unsullied. world -2889 kos-mos-1) an apt and harmoniousarrangement or constitution,

We believe for CHRISTIANS toaccomplish being unspottedfrom the world, we MUST be:ADDICTS, EXTREMISTS, andZEALOTS, according toSCRIPTURE.
1 Cor 16:15 I beseech you,brethren, (ye know the house ofStephanas, that it is the firstfruitsof Achaia, and that they haveADDICTED themselves to theministry of the saints,) 16 Thatye submit yourselves unto such,and to every one that helpethwith us, and laboureth.
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that,denying ungodliness and world-ly lusts, we should live soberly,righteously, and godly, in thispresent world; 13 Looking forthat blessed hope, and the glori-ous appearing of the great Godand our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14Who gave himself for us, that hemight redeem us from all iniqui-ty, and (1)purify unto himself a(2)peculiar people, (3)zealousof good works.

Christians cannot, must not givein, but hold to the Faith, not a
faith (Eph.4:1-6) I� ALLTHI�GS (1Cor.11:1-3); just asthe examples before us areWRITTEN. We must sufferthese and many other things onthis earth, because this worldhas been delivered unto Satan,by GOD. (Luke 4:5&6;2Cor.4:1-6; Eph.2:2-3; 6:10-14; Rev.12:7-13; Rev.13:6-9).The whole world (1)LIETH inwickedness (1John5:19)

Christians MUST be SUBJECTunto ALL HIGHER POWERSof this WORLD, (Rom.13:1-5;1Tim.2:1-7; Titus3:1-3) forCHRIST’S sake (1Pet.2:1-25),that is as long as they are NOTcontrary to CHRIST, (Eph.5:24-33; Col.1:12-20 and 3:1-4). But,to live in this world and strivenot to have anything to do withits higher educational systems,political systems, sports, and orits traditions, is definitely aSUFFERING; thereby followingthe example of the Lord Jesusand his apostles. After all, ALLthese things existed when theywere on earth, and there are NOexamples of their participationIN such. For, this helps in keep-ing one unspotted from theworld, and probably seemsextreme to the carnal, fleshly,secular mind (read Rom.12:10-31; 1Cor.1:18-31; 3:1-23;Phil.3:1-21; Col.2:1-12;2Tim.2:1-16; James4:1-17 and5:1-12.

A Christian’s duty on this earthis to do the will (work) of God,through Christ Jesus and hisapostles; not the will and tradi-tions of men, POLITICS beingone of many. For a Christian’sconversation is in heaven; fromwhence also we look for theSaviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,please read; Phil 3: 13 Brethren,I count not myself to haveapprehended: but this one thing Ido, forgetting those things whichare behind, and reaching forthunto those things which arebefore, 14 I press toward themark for the prize of the highcalling of God in Christ Jesus.15 Let us therefore, as many asbe perfect, be thus minded: andif in any thing ye be otherwiseminded, God shall reveal eventhis unto you. 16 Nevertheless,whereto we have alreadyattained, let us walk by the samerule, let us mind the same thing.17 Brethren, be followerstogether of me, and mark themwhich walk so as ye have us foran ensample. 18 (For manywalk, of whom I have told youoften, and now tell you evenweeping, that they are the ene-mies of the cross of Christ: 19Whose end is destruction, whoseGod is their belly, and whoseglory is in their shame, whomind earthly things.) 20 For our(1)conversation is in heaven;from whence also we look forthe Saviour, the Lord JesusChrist: 21 Who shall change ourvile body, that it may be fash-ioned like unto his gloriousbody, according to the workingwhereby he is able even to sub-due all things unto himself.(KJV)

Please read; John 12:24 Verily,verily, I say unto you, Except acorn of wheat fall into theground and die, it abideth alone:but if it die, it bringeth forthmuch fruit. 25 He that loveth hislife shall lose it; and he thathateth his life in this world shallkeep it unto life eternal. 26 Ifany man serve me, let him fol-low me; and where I am, thereshall also my servant be: if anyman serve me, him will myFather honour.Rom 12:1 I beseech you there-fore, brethren, by the mercies ofGod, that ye present your bodiesa living sacrifice, holy, accept-able unto God, which is yourreasonable service. 2 And be notconformed to this world: but beye transformed by the renewingof your mind, that ye may provewhat is that good, and accept-able, and perfect, will of God.Eph 4:21 If so be that ye haveheard him, and have been taughtby him, as the truth is in Jesus:22 That ye put off concerningthe former conversation the oldman, which is corrupt accordingto the deceitful lusts; 23 And berenewed in the spirit of yourmind; 24 And that ye put on thenew man, which after God iscreated in righteousness and trueholiness. I Jn 2:15 Love not the(1)world, neither the thingsthat are in the world. If anyman love the world, the love ofthe Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world,the lust of the flesh, and the lustof the eyes, and the pride of life,is not of the Father, but is ofthe world. 17 And the world pas-seth away, and the lust thereof:but he that doeth the will of Godabideth for ever; 18 Little chil-dren, it is the last time: and as yehave heard that antichrist shallcome, even now are there manyantichrists; whereby we knowthat it is the last time. 19 Theywent out from us, but they werenot of us; for if they had been ofus, they would no doubt havecontinued with us: but theywent out, that they might bemade manifest that they werenot all of us.

1 Cor 4:9 For I think that Godhath set forth us the apostleslast, as it were appointed todeath: for we are made a specta-cle unto the world, and toangels, and to men. 10 We arefools for Christ’s sake, but yeare wise in Christ; we are weak,but ye are strong; ye are hon-ourable, but we are despised. 11Even unto this present hour weboth hunger, and thirst, and arenaked, and are buffeted, andhave no certain dwellingplace;12 And labour, working with ourown hands: being reviled, webless; being persecuted, we suf-fer it: 13 Being defamed, weintreat: we are made as the filthof the world, and are the offs-couring of all things unto thisday. 14 I write not these thingsto shame you, but as my belovedsons I warn you. 15 For thoughye have ten thousand instructorsin Christ, yet have ye not manyfathers: for in Christ Jesus Ihave begotten you through thegospel. 16 Wherefore I beseechyou, be ye followers of me.(KJV)1 Cor 11:1 Be ye followers ofme, even as I also am of Christ.2 Now I praise you, brethren,that ye remember me in allthings, and keep the ordinances,as I delivered them to you. 3 ButI would have you know, that thehead of every man is Christ; andthe head of the woman is theman; and the head of Christ isGod.

John 12:25 He that loveth hislife shall lose it; and he thathateth his life in this worldshall keep it unto life eternal. 26If any man serve me, let him fol-low me; and where I am, there
shall also my servant be: if anyman serve me, him will myFather honour.(KJV)1 Cor 1:18 For the preaching ofthe cross is to them that perishfoolishness; but unto us whichare saved it is the power of God.19 For it is written, I willdestroy the wisdom of thewise, and will bring to nothingthe understanding of the prudent.20 Where is the wise? where isthe scribe? where is the disputerof this world? hath not Godmade foolish the wisdom ofthis world? (KJV)
1 Cor 1:25 Because the foolish-ness of God is wiser than men;and the weakness of God isstronger than men.

(KJV)
1 Cor 3:18 Let no man deceivehimself. If any man among youseemeth to be wise in this world,let him become a fool, that hemay be wise. 19 For the wis-dom of this world is foolish-ness with God. For it is written,He taketh the wise in their owncraftiness. 20 And again, TheLord knoweth the thoughts ofthe wise, that they are vain. 21Therefore let no man glory inmen. For all things are yours;(KJV)
2 Cor 10:5 ... and every highthing that exalteth itselfagainst the knowledge of God,(KJV)
Rom 11:20 Well; because ofunbelief they were broken off,and thou standest by faith. Benot highminded, but fear: 21For if God spared not the naturalbranches, take heed lest he alsospare not thee. 22 Behold there-fore the goodness and severityof God: on them which fell,severity; but toward thee, good-ness, if thou continue in hisgoodness: otherwise thou alsoshalt be cut off.

1 Cor 2:1 And I, brethren, whenI came to you, came not withexcellency of speech or of wis-dom, declaring unto you the tes-timony of God. 2 For I deter-mined not to know any thingamong you, save Jesus Christ,and him crucified. 3 And I waswith you in weakness, and infear, and in much trembling. 4And my speech and my preach-ing was not with enticingwords of man’s wisdom, but indemonstration of the Spirit andof power: 5 That your faithshould not stand in the wisdomof men, but in the power of God.6 Howbeit we speak wisdomamong them that are perfect: yetnot the wisdom of this world,nor of the princes of thisworld, that come to nought: 7But we speak the wisdom ofGod in a mystery, even the hid-den wisdom, which Godordained before the world untoour glory: (KJV)
Phil 3:7 But what things weregain to me, those I counted lossfor Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and Icount all things but loss for theexcellency of the knowledge ofChrist Jesus my Lord: for whomI have suffered the loss of allthings, and do count them butdung, that I may win Christ, 9And be found in him, not havingmine own righteousness, whichis of the law, but that which isthrough the faith of Christ, therighteousness which is of Godby faith: 10 That I may knowhim, and the power of his resur-rection, and the fellowship of hissufferings, being made conform-able unto his death; 11 If by anymeans I might attain unto theresurrection of the dead. 12 Notas though I had already attained,either were already perfect: but Ifollow after, if that I may appre-hend that for which also I amapprehended of Christ Jesus.
II Th 2:1 Now we beseech you,brethren, by the coming of ourLord Jesus Christ, and by ourgathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken inmind, or be troubled, neither byspirit, nor by word, nor by letteras from us, as that the day ofChrist is at hand. 3 Let no mandeceive you by any means: forthat day shall not come, exceptthere come a falling away first,and that man of sin be revealed,the son of perdition; 4 Whoopposeth and exalteth himselfabove all that is called God, orthat is worshipped; so that he asGod sitteth in the temple of God,shewing himself that he is God.(KJV)
James 1:9 Let the brother oflow degree rejoice in that he isexalted: 10 But the rich, in thathe is made low: because as theflower of the grass he shall pass
away.
James 4:4 Ye adulterers andadulteresses, know ye not thatthe friendship of the world isenmity with God? whosoevertherefore will be a friend of theworld is the enemy of God. 5 Doye think that the scripture saithin vain, The spirit that dwellethin us lusteth to envy? 6 But hegiveth more grace. Wherefore hesaith, God resisteth the proud,but giveth grace unto the hum-ble. 7 Submit yourselves there-fore to God. Resist the devil,and he will flee from you. 8Draw nigh to God, and he willdraw nigh to you. Cleanse yourhands, ye sinners; and purifyyour hearts, ye double minded. 9Be afflicted, and mourn, andweep: let your laughter beturned to mourning, and yourjoy to heaviness. 10 Humbleyourselves in the sight of theLord, and he shall lift you up.
I Jn 4:5 They are of the world:therefore speak they of theworld, and the world heareththem. 6 We are of God: he thatknoweth God heareth us; hethat is not of God heareth not us.Hereby know we the spirit oftruth, and the spirit of error.(KJV)
2 Cor 10:5 ... bringing intocaptivity (KJV)

Rom 13:11 And that, knowingthe time, that now it is hightime to awake out of sleep: fornow is our salvation nearer thanwhen we believed. 12 The nightis far spent, the day is at hand:let us therefore cast off theworks of darkness, and let us puton the armour of light. 13 Let uswalk honestly, as in the day; notin rioting and drunkenness, notin chambering and wantonness,not in strife and envying. 14 Butput ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,and make not provision for theflesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.(KJV)
2 Cor 10:7 Do ye look on thingsafter the outward appearance?If any man trust to himself thathe is Christ’s, let him of himselfthink this again, that, as he isChrist’s, even so are we Christ’s.(KJV)
Gal 6:14 But God forbid that Ishould glory, save in the cross ofour Lord Jesus Christ, by whomthe world is crucified unto me,and I unto the world. (KJV)
1 Pet 3:3 Whose adorning let itnot be that outward adorningof plaiting the hair, and of wear-ing of gold, or of putting on ofapparel; 4 But let it be the hid-den man of the heart, in thatwhich is not corruptible, eventhe ornament of a meek andquiet spirit, which is in the sightof God of great price.(KJV)
2 Cor 10:5 ... every thought to(KJV)

Prov 24:9 The thought of fool-ishness is sin: and the scorner isan abomination to men.10 If thou faint in the day ofadversity, thy strength is small.(KJV)
Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsakehis way, and the unrighteousman his thoughts: and let himreturn unto the LORD, and hewill have mercy upon him; andto our God, for he will abun-dantly pardon. 8 For mythoughts are not yourthoughts, neither are yourways my ways, saith theLORD. 9 For as the heavens arehigher than the earth, so are myways higher than your ways, andmy thoughts than your thoughts.(KJV)
Matt 12:36 But I say unto you,That every (1)idle word thatmen shall speak, they shall giveaccount thereof in the day ofjudgment 37 For by thy wordsthou shalt be justified, and bythy words thou shalt be con-demned.

Mark 7:18 And he saith untothem, Are ye so without under-standing also? Do ye not per-ceive, that whatsoever thingfrom without entereth into theman, it cannot defile him; 19Because it entereth not into hisheart, but into the belly, andgoeth out into the draught, purg-ing all meats? 20 And he said,That which cometh out of theman, that defileth the man. 21For from within, out of the heartof men, proceed evil thoughts,adulteries, fornications, mur-ders, 22 Thefts, covetousness,wickedness, deceit, lascivious-ness, an evil eye, blasphemy,pride, foolishness: 23 All theseevil things come from within,and defile the man.

Phil 2:1 If there be thereforeany consolation in Christ, if anycomfort of love, if any fellow-ship of the Spirit, if any bowelsand mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy,that ye be likeminded, havingthe same love, being of oneaccord, of one mind. 3 Let noth-ing be done through strife orvainglory; but in lowliness ofmind let each esteem otherbetter than themselves. 4 Looknot every man on his ownthings, but every man also onthe things of others. 5 Let thismind be in you, which was alsoin Christ Jesus: 6 Who, beingin the form of God, thought itnot robbery to be equal withGod: 7 But made himself of noreputation, and took upon himthe form of a servant, and wasmade in the likeness of men:
26 For ye see your calling,brethren, how that not manywise men after the flesh, notmany mighty, not many noble,are called: 27 But God hathchosen the foolish things of theworld to confound the wise; and
God hath chosen the weakthings of the world to confoundthe things which are mighty; 28And base things of the world,and things which are despised,hath God chosen, yea, andthings which are not, to bring tonought things that are: 29 Thatno flesh should glory in his pres-ence. 30 But of him are ye inChrist Jesus, who of God ismade unto us wisdom, andrighteousness, and sanctification,and redemption: 31 That,according as it is written, Hethat glorieth, let him glory in theLord. (KJV)
1 Cor 3:18 Let no man deceivehimself. If any man among youseemeth to be wise in this world,let him become a fool, that hemay be wise. 19 For the wis-dom of this world is foolish-ness with God. For it is written,He taketh the wise in their owncraftiness. 20 And again, TheLord knoweth the thoughts ofthe wise, that they are vain. 21Therefore let no man glory inmen. For all things are yours;(KJV)
2 Cor 10:5 ... and every highthing that exalteth itselfagainst the knowledge of God,(KJV)
Rom 11:20 Well; because ofunbelief they were broken off,and thou standest by faith. Benot highminded, but fear: 21For if God spared not the naturalbranches, take heed lest he alsospare not thee. 22 Behold there-fore the goodness and severityof God: on them which fell,severity; but toward thee, good-ness, if thou continue in hisgoodness: otherwise thou alsoshalt be cut off.

Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving theprinciples of the doctrine ofChrist, let us go on unto perfec-tion; not laying again the foun-dation of repentance from deadworks, and of faith toward God,(KJV)
1 Pet 1:13 Wherefore gird upthe loins of your mind, besober, and hope to the end forthe grace that is to be broughtunto you at the revelation ofJesus Christ; 14 As obedientchildren, not fashioning your-selves according to the formerlusts in your ignorance: 15 Butas he which hath called you isholy, so be ye holy in all man-ner of conversation; 16Because it is written, Be yeholy; for I am holy. 17 And ifye call on the Father, who with-out respect of persons judgethaccording to every man’s work,pass the time of your sojourninghere in fear: 18 Forasmuch as yeknow that ye were not redeemedwith corruptible things, as silverand gold, from your vain con-versation received by traditionfrom your fathers; 19 But withthe precious blood of Christ, asof a lamb without blemish andwithout spot: 20 Who verily wasforeordained before the founda-tion of the world, but was mani-fest in these last times for you,21 Who by him do believe inGod, that raised him up from thedead, and gave him glory; thatyour faith and hope might be inGod. 22 Seeing ye have purifiedyour souls in obeying the truththrough the Spirit untounfeigned love of the brethren,see that ye love one another witha pure heart fervently: 23 Beingborn again, not of corruptibleseed, but of incorruptible, by theword of God, which liveth andabideth for ever. 24 For all fleshis as grass, and all the glory ofman as the flower of grass. Thegrass withereth, and the flowerthereof falleth away: 25 But the
word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is the word whichby the gospel is preached untoyou. (KJV)
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 hereunto wereye called: because Christ alsosuffered for us, leaving us anexample, that ye should followhis steps: (KJV)
So, the “doctrine of no suffer-ing, because we are saved bygrace (only),” is ANOTHERdoctrine/gospel (Gal.1:9-10) andis False and DANGEROUS. Webelieve this because this doctrineis so easy and there is not muchwork; see 2Pet.4:17-19. Somany are buying into it, eventhose proclaiming to be of theone true Church/ (faith). Wemust teach the whole council ofGod (Acts 20:27). We mustteach the whole truth (John17:17). The WORD teaches usthat we are saved by manythings; baptism doth also nowsave us (1Peter 3:21). We arealso saved by GRACE,THROUGH FAITH (Eph.2:8)etc. We must always rememberJames 2:14-26…so faith with-out works is dead… (KJV)
The question now would be,how is the one true faith(Eph.4:4-6) obtained? Read;Rom 10:17 So then faith comethby hearing, and hearing by theword of God. (KJV)
IS JUST, HEARING GOODENOUGH?
Read; James 1:21 Whereforelay apart all filthiness and super-
fluity of naughtiness, andreceive with meekness theengrafted word, which is able tosave your souls. 22 But be yedoers of the word, and nothearers only, deceiving yourown selves. 23 For if any be ahearer of the word, and not adoer, he is like unto a manbeholding his natural face in aglass: 24 For he beholdeth him-self, and goeth his way, andstraightway forgetteth what man-ner of man he was. 25 Butwhoso looketh into the perfectlaw of liberty, and continueththerein, he being not a forgetfulhearer, but a doer of the work,this man shall be blessed in hisdeed. 26 If any man among youseem to be religious, and bri-dleth not his tongue, butdeceiveth his own heart, thisman’s religion is vain. 27 Purereligion and undefiled beforeGod and the Father is this, Tovisit the fatherless and widowsin their affliction, and to keephimself unspotted from theworld. (KJV)
IS JUST, “BELIEVING” GOODENOUGH?
Phil 1:29 For unto you it isgiven in the behalf of Christ, notonly to believe on him, but alsoto suffer for his sake; 30Having the same conflict whichye saw in me, and now hear tobe in me.
James 2: 14 What doth it profit,my brethren, though a man sayhe hath faith, and have notworks? can faith save him? 15 Ifa brother or sister be naked, anddestitute of daily food, 16 Andone of you say unto them,Depart in peace, be ye warmedand filled; notwithstanding yegive them not those thingswhich are needful to the body;what doth it profit? 17 Even so
faith, if it hath not works, isdead, being alone. 18 Yea, a manmay say, Thou hast faith, and Ihave works: shew me thy faithwithout thy works, and I willshew thee my faith by myworks. 19 Thou believest thatthere is one God; thou doestwell: the devils also believe,and tremble. 20 But wilt thouknow, O vain man, that faithwithout works is dead? 21 Wasnot Abraham our father justifiedby works, when he had offeredIsaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wroughtwith his works, and by workswas faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilledwhich saith, Abraham believedGod, and it was imputed untohim for righteousness: and hewas called the Friend of God. 24Ye see then how that by works aman is justified, and not byfaith only. 25 Likewise also wasnot Rahab the harlot justified byworks, when she had receivedthe messengers, and had sentthem out another way? 26 For asthe body without the spirit isdead, so faith without works isdead also. (KJV)
So the doctrine, “Christ sufferedfor us, so that we don’t have to”is contrary to Scriptures. Thereis a SCRIPTURAL reason forthe suffering that CHRISTIANSMUST do, and endure in theFLESH. According to scriptureit is so that we can “CEASEfrom SIN, and SCARCELY beSAVED”.1 Pet 4:1 Forasmuch then asChrist hath suffered for us inthe flesh, arm yourselves like-wise with the same mind: forhe that hath suffered in the fleshhath ceased from sin; 2 Thathe no longer should live the restof his time in the flesh to thelusts of men, but to the will ofGod.(KJV)
1 Pet 4:17 For the time is comethat judgment must begin at thehouse of God: and if it firstbegin at us, what shall the endbe of them that obey not thegospel of God? 18 And if the(1)righteous (2)scarcely besaved, where shall the ungodlyand the sinner appear? 19Wherefore let them that sufferaccording to the will of Godcommit the keeping of theirsouls to him in well doing, asunto a faithful Creator.(KJV)
Definitions: (1)if the righteous-1342 dikaios-righteous, observ-ing divine laws 4) approved byor acceptable by God.(2)scarcely be saved-3433molis (mol’-is);probably by var.for 3425; with difficulty, 2) noteasily, that is, scarcely, veryrarely: KJV— hardly, scarce (-ly), + with much work.
Dear reader, remember the pur-pose of these articles is to seekthe TRUTH according to THEWORD, thereby exposingERROR, which is false doctrine,for the purpose of saving oursouls. We believe this is bestdone by definitions and the pre-ponderance of scriptures; whichis having superior weight, force,importance, or influence ofscripture. Again we believe thisallows SCRIPTURE to INTER-PRET SCRIPTURE, therebyallowing a better understandingon that topic. Thanks again foryour interest in the WORD ofTRUTH; GRACE and SALVA-TION; John 17:17-21; Acts20:29-32; James1:21-25. Afterall it is our MAP to HEAVEN,and away from HELL!

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.
