LEAVE YOUR MARK Let’s face it most of us will leave a mark on this world.
Sadly, for many the only mark will be found on a gravestone in
a city, family or church cemetery. What will be remembered
will all be contained on that small etching. However, for some
an indelible and lasting mark will remain. People like Abra-
ham Lincoln, James Kilroy and Billy Graham have left such
lasting marks. Okay, so you may not recognize that second
name, but chances are you recognize his enduring script.
James Kilroy was a 46-year-old shipyard inspector at
the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts. His job
was to check on the number of rivets completed. Riveters got paid by the rivet and he would count a block of
rivets and mark them in waxed chalk so they would only be counted once. Once off shift, the riveters would of-
ten erase the marks and a second inspector would count the rivets again, resulting in double pay for the riveters.
As costs escalated, Kilroy’s boss called him in to investigate. It was then he realized what was happening.
He continued to put a check mark on the blocks he counted, but then added the words, “Kilroy was here.” He
eventually added the sketch of the chap with the long nose peering over the fence. Once he did that the riveters
stopped trying to wipe away his marks.
With the war in full swing, ships were leaving Quincy so fast that there wasn’t time to paint them and the
trademark stamp of Kilroy was seen by thousands of servicemen who boarded the troopships. They then picked
up the message and spread it across the south Pacific and all over Europe. Although they didn’t know who or
what Kilroy was, they immortalized him from Berlin to Tokyo. Often when troops would land, someone would
add the graffiti to some obscure place and then claim that the mark was already there before they arrived. He be-
came the U.S. Super G.I. who was always “already there.”
The logo has since made its way beneath the Arc de Triomphe, the Statue of Liberty, the top of Mt Ever-
est and even into the dust on the moon. But maybe the best story came from the Potsdam Conference in 1945.
As Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill gathered, a special outhouse was built for their use. The first occupant was
Stalin, who emerged and asked his aide (in Russian), “Who is Kilroy?”
Day by day we make marks. Few will last. Most will fade. Lincoln’s American will one day be past.
Kilroy’s graffiti will cease to exist, but the things we do for our Lord will persist throughout eternity. There will
multitudes marked in heaven due to the sharing of God’s love that Pastor Graham has preached. What marks are
we making? Temporal or eternal?

JESUS LOVES ME! I would like to thank everyone that participated in Women’s Sunday. Whether you cooked breakfast, taught Sun-
day School, sang or spoke, you made it a wonderful worship service. Carla’s message reminded us all that no mat-
ter what happens Jesus Loves Me! When I learned that song as a child, I didn’t know how much Jesus loved me.
This took on a deeper meaning for me this week as I did my devotion. He loves me enough to be spit on, punched
and slapped (Matthew 26:67). Jesus loves enough to be flogged, mocked, and crucified (Mark 15:15-20).
He took Wanda’s infirmities and carried Wanda’s sorrows
He was wounded for Wanda’s transgressions
He was bruised for Wanda’s iniquities
The punishment that brought Wanda peace was on Him
By His stripes Wanda was healed
Like sheep, Wanda has gone astray
and Wanda has turned to her own way
How humbling is that? Jesus did not have to endure any of this. He did it for me. It was my sin that he suffered the
flogging for and my sin that put Him on the cross. As a Christian you accept that Christ died for your sins but sub-
stituting your name in the verse makes it more personal. It’s a good reminder that Jesus died for us (because of
OUR sins) because He Loves us. It’s a wonderful reminder that Jesus will Always Love Me and will be there for
me even when I sin or when I need His help through anything.
Lebanon Baptist Church in Eastover is hosting a Women’s Conference on March 18, 2017 from 8:30 am—1:30

Pregnancy Center. Deadline to sign up is 3/13. Contact me for more information.
SAVE THE DATE!
The Annual Pancake Breakfast will be held on April 1st, 7:00 am—10:00 am. Keep an eye out for the volunteer

spread the word!
In Christ’s Love,
Wanda

GLORY
Flowers buried
beneath the snow
Awakening again to live and grow—
Leaves that fell to the earth to die
Enriching the soil in which they
lie—
Lifeless-looking, stark,
stripped trees
Bursting with buds
in the Springtime breeze
Are just a few examples or
The greatness of God’s power and
love,
And in this blaze of Springtime
glory
Just who could doubt
The Easter Story!

GOD IS THE ANSWER We read the headlines daily and we listen to the news,
We are anxious and bewildered with the world’s conflicting views,
We are restless and dissatisfied and sadly insecure,
And we voice our discontentment over things we must endure,
For this violent age we live in is filled with nameless fears
That grow as we discuss the things that come daily to our ears . . .
So, instead of reading headlines that disturb the heart and mind,
Let us open up the Bible and in doing so we’ll find
That this age is no different from the millions gone before,
But in every hour of crisis God has opened up a door
For all who sought His guidance and trusted in His plan,
For God provides the Answer that cannot be found by man . . .
And though there’s hate and violence and dissension all around,
We can always find a refuge that is built on “solid ground”
If we go to God believing that He hears our smallest prayer
And that nothing can befall us when we are in His care . . .
For only by believing in the things We Cannot See
Can All Nations Be United in the Peace that makes Men Free . . .
For the skill of man can conquer new worlds in outer space,
But only our Creator can endow mankind with grace,
And only grace that is divine can unite us with each other
And make our enemies our friends and Every Man A Brother.

“Sunday School at
Baptist Chapel Baptist Church”
Baptist Chapel Church conducts “Sunday School” each Sunday where all
ages meet in specific classrooms to focus on God, study the Bible, gain a
better understanding of God’s Word, and learn how to apply God’s truth
to one’s life. Our “Sunday School” provides opportunities to share God’s
love, fellowship with Christian believers, develops an important sense of
belonging (family of God), cultivates personal connections and confi-
dence, recognizes the needs of others, our community and world, directs
prayer to those needs, and builds a biblical foundation that enhances
Christian growth. Our “Sunday School” also supports missions and many
forms of Christian ministry, provides an outreach to peers, friends, and
others, sets a positive example for all (especially our children), and fosters
spiritual life changes.
Proverbs 22:6 - “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when
he is old, he will not depart from it.”
*A special “THANK YOU” is extended to all Sunday School teachers,
assistants, and personnel who devote their time and talents in sharing the
“Word of God” each Sunday. Thank you as well to all who attend and
participate in this journey of faith and spiritual growth.
“CONGRATULATIONS” to the following on receiving
