Recipe For
Living ®
By Stevie Phillips
Terrestrial and Celestial
Part VI
After several of these weekly series
on our terrestrial bodies, we now
should have more of an appreciation
of such a wonderful body we inhabit
while we are living out our allotted
time in these time-limited bodies.
Even if you have thought of all
these things before, it does us good to
reflect on them and realize that only
within these bodies can we live on
this earth
We, as spirits, live in a temporary
body God told Adam, “Dust thou art
and dust thou shalt return "
But that was before redemption
came to us through God’s Gift to the
world— the sacrifice of God’s only
begotten Son.
John 3:16— “For God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten
Son that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish but have everlasting
life."
Notice the word SHOULD, and don’t
get confused with the word would
If we believe there is a God and
believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
we still must ACCEPT HIM as our
Savior, Redeemer, and the Lord of our
lives If we believe, then we need to
come to Jesus and repent of our sins
and be forgiven.
It is what we must do to obtain
forgiveness and then, our eternal life
starts immediately as the new birth
starts We are then a new creatdre in
Christ.
How can we be a new creature in
Christ and still live in a body that has
only an allotted time before turning
back to dust?
Remember, we only live in these
bodies- they are habitation here on
earth. When we leave these bodies
they will return to dust or decay.
Where will we go without a body?
That would make our souls naked, as
our spirits are within our souls. Why
did Jesus refer to some as naked?
God looketh on the heart (the spirit
of man). When we are born-again, we
start our eternal life then. As these
earthly bodies are for a time, God in
his Word lets us know when we move
out of our earthly habitations (earthly
bodies). He has a celestial body in
store for us, an eternal body that will
never have pain or sorrow Those
that accept Jesus will inhabit the
celestial bodies which will be ours
throughout eternity!
How do we know this is so? Because
God’s Word tells us so! Jesus tells the
disciples about them! God’s word even
tells us all about them and where
they are reserved for us!
Don’t miss the next column, when
we will give the scriptures about
them. We will write this much, we are
told to be like Him Oesus). There isn’t
enough space to write anymore about
our eternal celestial bodies this week.
We will go into that, next week.
I want each of you readers of this
column to know I Love each of you.
Some I have met personally, others
have written me. I want you to know,
I appreciate each of you.
Remember, God loves you!

Hats Off To Fair Workers
WITH THE CONCLUSION of yet another successful, fun-
filled Central Texas Youth ^air, we think it’s time to thank
those who work so hard to put this event together year after
year.
SINCE ITS ESTABLISHMENT in 1931, the Youth Fair has
strived to benefit the youths of Bosque, Hill, Johnson,
Somervell, Erath, Hamilton, Coryell, and McLennan counties
by providing a safe, wholesome environment to showcase
the fruits of one’s labor. For those exhibitors lucky enough
nurture first-class animals, the cash sale offers funds which,
for most, go towards college tuition, and a chance to reach
future goals. But more than that, it teaches patience,
discipline, and promotes the family unit.
EVEN FOR NON-EXHIBITORS, the yearly event offers
families an opportunity to gather for some good old-fashioned
fun, something which, unfortunately, seems to be in short
supply in this day and age.
WE WERE BOTHERED by an article in the Aug. 6 issue of
The Waco Tribune-Herald that reported some startling facts
regarding juvenile homicide which is on an alarming increase
nationwide. The article quoted Howard N. Snyder, director of
systems-research for the Pennsylvania-based national Center
for Juvenile Justice, a research division of the National
Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, who said,
“There has been an 85 percent increase in the number of
arrests for homicide for those 17 and younger throughout the
nation.’
“THE EXPLANATIONS," he said, "range from more gangs
and weapons to the break-up of families and more violence
on television."
HILL COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY Dan Dent thinks
juvenile crime is on the rise, and was quoted in the same
article as saying, "Basically, kids who used to go out behind
the school house and have a fistfight now settle it with guns
and with knives. I think there’s just more and more people
and life is just becoming cheaper, It’s going to happen to us,
too," he said of rural areas.
HOW WELL WE KNOW that Bosque County is not immune.
OVER AND OVER we hear that the breakdown of the
family unit is leading to increases in student failures, drop-
outs, juvenile crime, and, even more disturbing, juvenile
homicide. The message of a return to family values is right on
the mark.
SO HATS OFF to all of you Central Texas Youth Fair
organizers who worked so tirelessly. Your efforts to draw
families out to view the parade and visit the fairgrounds
together was surely worth it— and a benefit to us all.
— Debra D. Brown
Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor
I want to call your attention to an
important publication recently
released by The Heritage Foundation,
the Index of Leading Cultural
Indicators. Written by William
Bennett, the Index is a comprehensive
statistical portrait of behavioral
trends over the last 30 years.
It shows, for example, that while
population has increased 41 percent
since 1960, violent crime has increased
560 percent; illegitimate births have
increased more than 400 percent,
divorce rates have quadrupled, the
percentage of children living in
single-parent homes has tripled, and
the teenage suicide rate has increased
more than 200 percent.
As a member of The Heritage
Foundation, we are eager to see the
facts in this document given wide
publicity Only if we admit we are in
a crisis of values can we begin to
reverse our cultural decline.
You may already have received a
copy of the Index. If 80, we urge you to
keep it on hand and use it as a
resource
If you haven't yet seen it, you can
obtain a copy by calling The Heritage
Foundation’s publications office at
