tired, he rotates back into the wing
Whenever a goose falls out of
formation, it suddenly feels the
drag and resistance of trying to go
it alone and quickly gets back into
formation to take advantage of
ing many issues, but the basic
point is still the main point. Un-
less we learn to genuinely care for
one another, the message of Jesus
gets lost in the inconsistency of
believers’ lives.
The basic principle of the
Christian life applies to our rela-
tionships with one another.

Maybe we can leam some
valuable lessons from a goose.
Next time you see geese head-
ing south for the winter, flying
along in V formation, you might
be interested in knowing what
science has discovered why
they fly that way.
It has been learned that as each
bird flaps its wings, it creates an
uplift for the bird immediately
following. By flying in a V for-
mation, the whole flock adds at
least 71 percent greater flying
range than if each bird flew on its
own.
Graveside services for Lee L.
Markham, 61, Swan, were held
Tuesday at Gladewater Memorial
Park with the Rev. Tom McCarley

las for 10 years, before moving to
Swan eight years ago. He was
retired from the U.S. Navy, serv-
ing in Korea and Vietnam. He
also served in the Air Force. He
was a bulk plant supervisor for
B.J. Services in Prudhoe Bay,
Alaska. He was a member of the
American Legion and Fleet Re-
serve.

Mrs. Mary “Pat” Markham, Swan;

and another goose flies point. The
geese honk from behind to en-
courage those up front to keep up
their speed.
Finally, when a goose gets sick,
or is wounded by gunshot and
falls out, two geese fall out of
formation and follow him down
to help and protect him. They stay
with him until he is able to fly, or
until he is dead, and then launch
out on their own or with another
formation to catch up with their
original group.
You see, all we have to do in
order to attract those who are not
participating is to demonstrate to
the world that we have as much
sense as a goose. That seems like
enough price to pay to win the lost
and to help one another.

All of the scriptural evidence
concerning love, support, encour-
agement, etc., is very simple and
clearly stated. I guess that is why
I am continually amazed at the
willful disobedience of the very
basic principles of living the life
of Jesus. Oh, I’ve heard the ex-
cuses, and the logical reasoning.
But, basically it is simply human
rationalization that leads to sin.
There is really no gray area to the
issue. It is clearly black or white.

Students learn of Jewish religion
For a week the 108 children
in grades two through six who
attended First United Methodist
Vacation School in Lindale took
part in a variety of festivals cel-
ebrated among members of the
Jewish faith.
The emphasis was on learn-
ing the importance of five differ-
ent festivals celebrated by mem-
bers of the Jewish faith.
Students went to Tyler and
met Rabbi Flicker and toward the
end of the week went to Club
Lake to a Tasklic, which has to do
with forgiveness, said Barbara
Copeland, children’s coordinator.
Sunday the children, dressed
in costumes similar to the dress of
Biblical times became lay leaders
and sang songs learned in VBS
for the congregation during regu-
lar services.
Children from several other
churches inLindale attended Bible
School at First United Methodist.
