"I'd like to invite all local
businesses, non-profits and other
organizations to join us. You
can help kids and make money
for your organization. The
money we raise for New Desti-
nations will provide therapy for
kids in the summer who really
need it," said Guthrie.
For the past five years, New
Destinations, Inc. has hosted
Camp Tenaha, a therapeutic
summer day camp for children
with special needs. The camp is
supported through community
donations and staffed by indi-
vidual volunteers and organiza-
tions such as the Panola College
Occupational Therapy Assistant
and Vocation Nursing programs,
the Boy Scouts of America
Venture Crew #693, Northside
Christian Academy, Gary ISD
and Saddle Up, of Tyler.
"Our goal is to make it possi-
ble for the children in our area
who can benefit from Camp
Tenaha to attend at not cost to
them," added Guthrie. For more

tions, contact Guthrie at 903-

delivered.” The aide said, "So,
you thought it was a great
storm?" The president replied,
"No, f thought he failed." When
asked why, President Lincoln
said, "Because he did not ask of
us something great."
Let me ask you, how are you
spending your life? Are you
spending your life by doing
something great, or are you
wasting your days? Everyone
has a limited number of days,
and when these days are over,
they are gone for good. How can
you spend your life for some-
thing great? Make the most of
every moment, and keep your
heart focused on the Lord. Fol-
low His leadership for your life,
and when your life is over -
people will remember the differ-
ence.
Remember, the most moti-
vated person on earth is a five-
foot, ten-inch non-swimmer in
six feet of water!
Stories abound about Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln and his
commitment to our country.
However, one story in particular
captures both the humanity and
spirituality of our former presi-
dent. Let me share it with you.
During the height of the Civil
War, Abraham Lincoln often
' found refuge in church, in
Washington, D.C. He would go
”-!with an aide, sit with his
stovepipe hat in his lap, and
never interrupt the meeting be-
>• cause the congregation would be
■ ; in a dither if they knew the
president had come to sit in that
midweek meeting. He sat off to
the side, near the pastor's study,
as the minister would open the
scriptures and teach God's
Word.
The war was tearing the na-
tion apart and even worse, lear-
ning the heart of the president.
, calf roping, cowboy
karaoke and other westert ac-
tivities. "While the kids are
honing their rodeo skills, adults
can play bingo for valuable
prizes, shop arts and crafts
booths and grab a bite to eat.
You can even win a 35” TV if
you can guess where our cow
will 'plop'," said Judy Guthrie,
president of New Destinations,
Inc., who is coordinating the
event.

Out of all the things that he
could have found solace in, the
president of the United States
found peace in the study of
God's Word. From our presi-
dent, we would be wise to learn
from his example today. Any-
way, let me get back to my
story.
As the pastor finished his
message and the people began to
leave, the president stood qui-
etly with his aide. In idle con-
versation, the aide asked, "What
did you think of the sermon, Mr.
President?" He said, "I thought
the sermon was carefully
thought through, eloquently

Happy Birthday
My name is Toni Elliott

as make the future brighter. I
would like to be a part of that
future. I would like to represent

gether with our administrators,
teachers, coaches, assistants and
other personnel to make things
better at Beckville schools.
