Dear Dave, My wife and I just bought a new home, and we only need one or two more things to furnish the living room. Over the weekend, we found a couch and love seat set we both like for $3,000. The own er of the store said he would take 15% off the price if we get a store credit card and pay for it that way. We are in pretty good financial shape and can afford to pay cash for the furniture, but what do you think about the idea of taking ad vantage of the 15% off offer, then paying off the card immediately and closing the account?

Jackson Dear Jackson, Playing with snakes is al ways a bad idea. Sooner or later, you’re going to get bitten. Ev eryone thinks they’re the excep tion to the rule, or they’re some how winning or getting rich by doing stuff like this. It doesn’t work that way. So, stop playing around with debt products. This guy’s just trying to hook you and make more money. Your idea might sound good on the surface to a lot of folks, but the problem is the vast majority of those same people don’t have the discipline to follow through on a plan like this. Having that store account, even for a short period of time, would be too much of a temptation. Another issue is many places like this hit you with a fee when you pay off the card. They’ll fee you to death on other things, too, if you’re not careful, until you end up wishing you’d never even seen the place. If it were me, I’d just talk to the owner again and let him know I’m taking my business elsewhere unless he discounts the furniture 15% on a cash pur chase. There’s no way I’d take out a stupid credit card for a place like that whether I had the cash on hand or not!

Reflections: Jesus is with me, always
BY CINDY THOMAS Staff Writer
Design
In the Gospels, Jesus assures His followers He will be with them and also commands them to make more disciples. A broader reading indi cates that won’t be easy, for them nor for present-day believers. It can be hard to accept that Christ’s pres ence may not bring immediate de liverance from hard things: Believ ers battle serious illness, lose homes to natural disasters, or endure forced labor or trafficking. Yet His Word says, “I am with you. Always.” Jesus told his disciples His pres ence would continue even after his physical departure from the earth. Luke 24:49 says, “And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you.” The opening chapters of Acts document the Holy Spirit’s coming to empower the disciples to share the Gospel. Sometimes we see that power in miraculous ways, as Paul and Si las did when their praise songs led to freedom from the Philippian jail. Other times, we feel it as oth er people pray for us in our hard place, like Paul during his final imprisonment before his execu tion. Either way, the Presence is there, transcending circumstances. Jesus told his followers, “You will be handed over to be persecut ed and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith, and will betray and hate each other” (Matthew 24:9–10, NIV). It happened to early Christians, and it’s happening now. (Some translations say “be offend ed;” does that sound familiar?) It’s not easy to take a stand for Christ, but the promise hasn’t stopped: He is with us. Opportu nities abound to speak truth into issues such as the taking of unborn lives or divisive gender politics. Speaking truth is not guaran teed to make us popular; in fact, Jesus pretty much guaranteed the opposite: “In this world you will have trouble.” But it doesn’t change who He is: “Take heart: I have overcome the world!” (John 16:33, NIV)

Breakfast at Tiffany’s: For this child we have prayed Not long after my brother, Tyler, and his wife, Chas tyti, were married, they decided to try for a baby. Several months went by with no results. The months turned into years. Frustra tion and disappointment became their way of life much of the time, especially when Chastyti was di agnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Doctors told her that her chances of becoming pregnant were significantly low er than women without it. With every negative test came broken dreams. Mother’s Day became a day of grief for Chastyti. You could see the longing in her eyes whenever a baby was in the room. Early on, when the news came of Chastyti’s possible infertili ty, faith rose up in her heart, and she began to speak the things that were not as though they were. The couple decided that they would act on their faith in tangible ways and to get a spiritual imagination about the things to come. So despite the doctor’s diagnosis and all of the negative pregnancy tests, Tyler and Chastyti went to the store and bought a pack of diapers in expec tation of the child for whom they prayed. As more years passed and no baby came, Tyler and Chastyti never stopped believing that God would see them through. In the meantime, they chose to minis ter to others who were facing the same issues by starting a small group in their church. Rather than allow their “saying to nullify their praying’’ by calling it an “infer tility” group, they instead called it “One in Eight.” One in eight women experience infertility, and this would be a place where they could find comfort and communi ty as they continued to pray for a child. And on the group’s sign-up table in the church lobby, sat the pack of diapers bought in faith. More time passed with no pos itive results. Had you visited their home, though, you would have thought a baby was surely on its way. After Tyler and Chastyti pur chased that first pack of diapers, they hadn’t stopped there. The extra bedroom in their home was deemed a nursery. The closet was filled with tiny clothes, and baby SEE TIFFANY’S,
Sometimes it’s better when you just don’t plan things out. You see, I was rolling back from Louisville back in 2013 — rather absorbed in the beauty that is rural Kentucky as well as all that had happened at the Nation al Quartet Convention — when I was seized upon by the idea I had missed my turn to Paducah. It took me just a minute to figure out I had gotten onto the road to Owensboro. I could turn around at the next exit. “Might as well get gas,” I fig ured. A full tank, two pimiento cheese sandwiches, and a trip past the old courthouse which said, “County seat founded in 1798,” later and my truck was pointed back in the right direction. That’s when I saw it — a sign reading “Bill Monroe Birthplace 8.4 miles.” Throwing my alreadyout-of-sorts plan right out the win dow, I headed up that little black top road, past remnants of coal mines, crumbling rock cuts and immaculately mown barnyards, ending up parked right in down town Rosine, Kentucky. An elder ly gentleman named Burl flagged me down, welcomed me to town, and introduced me to the village’s two heroes — PFC Wesley Phelps who sacrificed himself to save his comrades on Palelui Island, Octo ber 4, 1944; and Bill Monroe, fa ther of bluegrass and legend in the American music industry. Both were buried in the ceme tery around the corner. “If you need anything, just knock on somebody’s front door,” said Burl, before heading back to the community center. I drove to the cemetery and spent a goodly amount of time sitting under a big oak tree next to the Monroe fam ily plots. A covey of cedar wax wings converged in the branches above, flitting about and chirping mildly. In the distance, I could hear kids playing, the sound of an American flag popping in the breeze overhead. It was a gentle, late summer afternoon. The Ros ine Cemetery is a warm, sweet, sad place. Hallowed ground for so many people I’d sure liked to haveSomeday,known.maybe, I’ll get to.
I’ve walked through some hard times in my life. Cancer treatment wasn’t any fun; neither were unexpected job losses or the death of my only sibling. The list could go on, as I’m sure yours couldChristianalso. believers in some countries face significant per secution. Several organizations recently reported North Korean Christians being dragged from a house church meeting; some were killed, and others sentenced to la bor camps that make death seem more merciful. Nigerian Christians have recently suffered, as well; The Voice of the Martyrs recently shared the story of a courageous pastor continuing to teach and preach after losing an arm in a ma chete attack by Muslim extremists. What we have in common, though, is Jesus’ promise, just before the Ascension: “. . . And surely, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20, BSB). Courageous follow ers of Christ through the centuries have believed those words. His disciples surely did, as all except John died a martyr’s death; John was tortured and exiled to a penal colony—where the risen, victori ous Jesus appeared to him with the message of Revelation.

Train Up a Child: Helping children with writing
BY PAT ColumnistLAMB
bransonglobe.com OPINION SEPT. 9, 2022 • 21
The three r’s: reading, ‘rit ing,’ and ‘rithmetic,’ are still the most important subjects in school because everything else is based on these three things. There are innumerable complaints that children are not learning these things as they should. Help from parents is definitely needed to make sure that children learn these basics. Parents can help their children learn to be good writers in a number of ways. “Practice makes perfect” certainly applies to writing. Prac tice helps with both the mechanical aspects of learning to make the let ters and the mental organizing and creating of subject matter. Very young children who have toys requiring the use of motor skills in hands are more apt to learn to print well using sticks and circles to make the letters of the alphabet. Making dots for children in the shapes of the letters provides a guide to follow. Cursive writing is not given a great deal of em phasis in today’s educational pro cess since it is not used as much as in the past. After all, most job applications say, “Please print,” and computers are available for composing letters and stories. Al though it is nice to know cursive writing, limited time in school de mands that teachers emphasize sub jects that are very practical. At one time, cursive writing was necessary for taking notes in college classes, but now students can record a lec ture or download necessary infor mation on their computers. When older children are re quired to write essays, a good way to tell them to organize the essay is the “five finger rule.” One finger is for the introduction where three points are named. The next finger is for a new paragraph to talk about the first item named. The next fin ger represents the next paragraph to talk about the second thing, and the next finger represents another paragraph to talk about the third thing. The last finger is to sum marize the essay by restating what was said in the first paragraph. This five-paragraph essay is taught to GED students to write an essay for passing the GED test. The for mat works in most cases and can also be used as an outline for mak ing a speech. It is helpful to have a child draw around his/her hand on a piece of paper and label the five fingers for the five paragraphs. Many students have trouble knowing what to say when they write. Questions help a child to ex pand thinking. Taking the time to discuss a topic with a child helps give ideas. A background of var ious experiences is always a big help in providing material for writ ing. The internet is a gold mine of information.Afriendof mine mentioned a good idea I would like to share. She required her children to write at least a page telling why some thing they had done was wrong. It

Corner: Caregivers, this book is for you
A recent Globe article invited readers currently experiencing the caregiving journey to check out “Caregivers Conversations,” a support group which meets at First United Methodist Church in Branson. Facilitator Mary Ann Bolton recently shared the fol lowing comments about the book used by the group as a guide, which has become a standard for such groups because it is thor ough, tackling tough topics with compassion and understanding. Here are her comments: “I have found the book, ‘The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People Who Have Alzheimer’s Disease and Oth er Dementias’ to be extremely helpful. It is written by Nancy L. Mace (retired and a consultant to the Alzheimer Association) and Peter V. Rabins (professor emer itus in psychiatry and medicine), both at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The book first came out in 1981, and is now in its 7th edition (2021). It covers the latest advances in research and medications to slow the disease and relieve symptoms. Within its seventeen chapters, every is sue faced by a caregiver is cov ered, from the basic definition of dementia to problems arising in daily care. Chapters cover behavioral symptoms and prob lems (memory, speech, com munication); problems of daily care (hazards to watch out for, nutrition and exercise, person al hygiene, incontinence); and medical problems (from falls and injuries to visits with the doctor). There are special chap ters on arrangements to make if you, the caregiver, become ill; getting outside help; caring for yourself; and financial and legal issues. Clearly written with lots of examples and anecdotes, this book will be a great reference book for any caregiver to go to again and again and again.” While the book is written in the context of caregiving for people with dementia, many of the topics are relatable for any caregiver situation and can an swer many questions. It is avail able at major online retailers and bookstores.Also,if you haven’t yet checked out the “Caregivers Conversations” group, give Mary Ann a call at 817-7970148. You don’t have to do this journey alone. Find the book on Amazon, Johns Hopkins University Press, and many other book sellers (https://www. press.jhu.edu)

ANTONYA ROBINSON SPEAKER
Concerned Women for Ameri ca Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) has endorsed State Representative Brian Seitz in the 2022 State Legislative race for the 156th District. In making the an nouncement, CWALAC cited state representative Rep. Seitz’s record of standing firm on Concerned Women for America’s seven core issues. During the time that Rep. Seitz has spent at the State Capitol, he has consistently sponsored and supported legislation that would uphold the sanctity of life, edu cation reform, parents’ rights, and limited government, as well as his opposition to policies that harm families. CWALAC acknowledg es that much of Seitz’s ability to be effective for all Missourians is his understanding of our Founding Fathers’ intent when using time less principles to draft our U.S. constitution and form our repub lic. Rep. Seitz is a constitutional conservative and understands the proper role of civil government. “I believe Rep. Seitz will con tinue to defend the God-given rights of both the born and the unborn guaranteed in our Consti tution and to work to ensure that future generations get to enjoy the blessings God has poured out on our country,” said Bev Ehlen, State Director for Concerned Women for America. “Rather than having government try to run our lives, Rep. Seitz believes each of us should be empowered to enjoy our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

What a wonderful idea! It not only gave the children practice in writing but instilled the understanding of right and wrong. It made them writing and speak ing form what educators call the language triangle. As a child im proves in any one of the three, the other two are also enhanced. Chil dren need to do a lot of reading and a great deal of writing. Un fortunately, many inventions are harmful as well as helpful. Since the copy machine was invented, children often just fill in blanks to answer a question. Good writing should be required at home and in all classes at school, not just the communications class. If a child is allowed to get by with sloppy writing in math, science, social studies and health classes, the one class in language is not likely to succeed in teaching good writing skills. Consistency is important.

“We want to make sure they know about prescription sav ings cards and other avenues to save money,” says Ryan Baker, CoxHealth’s ambulatory care director of pharmacy. “We work closely with insurance compa nies and can sometimes even cut a patient’s co-pay in half. We want them to know all of their options because we don’t want them going without their medi cations.”Inaddition to savings, Baker says the program also showcas es the pharmacy’s collaborative spirit.“This is such a great display of retail pharmacy working with the inpatient team,” he says. “The inpatient side gets to know the patients while they’re with us. They communicate that to the re tail side, so patients get medica tions from trained experts famil iar with them and their needs.”
Submitted to Branson Globe Kristen Filczer puts in more than 10,000 steps at the hospital each day, cutting a path and blaz ing a trail for a program that’s changing the game for patients: Meds-to-Beds.Filczer,apharmacy tech at Cox Branson, helped pioneer the program in Branson alongside Danielle Nagel who is the medi cal center’s Retail Pharmacy Op erations
“I am extremely proud of the hard-working team we have in Branson,” she says. “They provide the same quality service day in and day out. Working effectively with the rest of the CMCB staff has always been a top priority for the team, and the service we provide would not be possible without our entire hospital family.”

“WhenManager.apatient is about to be discharged, the last thing they want to do is stand in a line at the pharmacy,” Filczer explains as she strides down the hall for an other delivery. “Their faces light up when I come into the room with their prescriptions. It means they’re about to go home!” While convenience is a big benefit for patients, Nagel says Meds-to-Beds also aligns with the hospital’s laser focus on quality and “Sometimessafety.apatient will skip picking up a prescription because they don’t want the hassle of get ting it, they don’t think they need it or they cannot afford it,” Nagel explains. “This program allows us to get the right dose, the right formulation, into the right hands. Taking their proper medications helps prevent the patients from being readmitted to the hospital for skipping prescriptions.” When a doctor orders a medi cation, there’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to make sure patients have access to the most affordable options.

In this DVD from the Stut tering Foundation, they meet kids who recount how they han dle challenges such as teasing, speaking out in class, and teach ing others about stuttering. Swish, a lively and engaging animated basketball character designed by students at Purdue University, narrates the DVD. The children, who range in age from first-graders to high school students, offer frank and some times differing views of stutter ing.For example, Matthew, age 10, says about his speech dif ficulties, “It’s no big deal;” but Kate, age 9, worries about talking, what is going to hap pen next and whether or not she’ll stutter. Arianne, age 14, says, “The hardest part about stuttering is to get through it and to stay in there when you’re stuck.” Umang, age 12, agrees, “Sometimes it gets kind of an noying when you want to say something and you can’t. I also get worried what other people might think if I do stutter and wonder if I’ll be able to get out of my blocks and things.”

We looked at a lot of properties, and this was affordable. We really do like it here.” As for the addition of the coffee shop, Don noted, “I’ve kind of al ways wanted to do a coffee shop, and I thought this would be a great opportunity for it in this section, so we did Addedit.”Maxine, “We opened the coffee shop about a month ago. We are really enjoying it, and the customers are, too. We always say, ‘Get a cup of coffee and sip while you shop.’”

Yesteryear’s Treasures and Antiques Flea Market adds coffee shop
“We sell all of the milk drinks with coffee,” explained Don Mill er, who, along with his wife, Max ine, owns the flea market and the new coffee shop. “We have cap puccino, lattes, mochas. We do all of your iced coffees. We can make any of our coffees as iced. Of course we have regular coffee, Americano coffee. You name it, we can make it.”
Treasures and An tiques Flea Market sells “a little bit of everything,” according to owners Maxine and Don Miller. Now the couple has added one more thing to the list of items they sell—fresh brewed coffee. located in The Shoppes at Branson Meadows, recently opened a coffee shop. The flea market recently expanded their space, taking over the former Outraged Rage Room location when the Rage Room moved, and added Treasures Coffee Co.
Yesteryear’s,
Located at 4350 Gretna Road, in The Shoppes at Branson Mead ows, Yesteryear’s Treasures and Antiques Flea Market is open year round, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Treasures Coffee Co is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mon day through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m on Saturday. You can find the business on Facebook. Just search for Yes teryear’s Treasures and Antiques Flea Market.
The Millers, both natives of Houston, Texas, have been mar ried for 53 years, are the parents to four boys and proud grandpar ents to six. Don’s background in building saw him constructing hospitals, hotels, shopping cen ters, a fire station and more. Max ine managed department stores and worked in merchandising and interior decorating for a number of years. The two later combined their skills when Don would build model homes and Maxine would decorate them and advertise the open house events to prospective buyers.Retirement and a subsequent move to Branson have the couple working together in Yesteryear’s.
As for Yesteryear’s Treasures and Antiques Flea Market, Max ine and Don are happy with their location and the response they have received since the business opened.“It’s really been good,” said Maxine. “It just keeps growing and we’re doing so well. I really think we’ve been blessed.”
Maxine explained. “I’d say our business is about 90 percent tour ists and maybe 10 percent locals, but I want to let the locals know where we are located, and encour age everyone to come out and visit us, and help spread the word.” “We have built up so much in this little shopping center, and there is so much to do,” Max ine continued. “You can actually come and spend a lot of time here. There’s an Escape Room, there’s the 1984 Arcade and the Rage Room. And, then there’s things for the guys, too, like the knife shop and the tool store. And, of course, there’s Tuesday Morning for the ladies. And, Made in the USA offers something for everybody.
“We have roughly 100 spots,” explained Maxine. “We nev er know what merchandise will come in. There have been some very unique things that have come through the door. It’s a good mix ture of everything. We have an tiques, we have crafts, we have decor and Christmas decorations, just a little bit of everything.” Both agree that the best part of owning and operating the flea market, and now the coffee shop, is meeting the people, many of whom come back each time they visitMaxineBranson.noted that most of their business is tourist-related.

• General Guide Comments: Fish are starting to move and unless we have a big warm-up, the transition to a fall pattern has started. Look for fish to be shallow early and late or if it is cloudy. Ledge rock banks and the backs of creeks are best with a buzz bait or whopper plopper, watch for shad or blue that the fish are feeding on. Gravel and rock mixed points 10’ - 20’ deep have been good with a Jewel Pro Spider Jig or Squirrel head throughout the day. On calm, sunny days a drop shot rigged finesse worm in deep trees or on long gravel point 20’ - 30’ deep is still pro Forducing.further information or to book a trip with Eric, please contact him through Focused Fishing Guide Service by either calling 417-8604743 or through its website http:// www.focusedfishing.com.

Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission congratulates two new members
Submitted to Branson Globe Seven state department of transportation projects in Ar kansas (along with Missouri), Georgia, South Carolina, Tennes see, Virginia, and West Virginia won regional awards in the 2022 America’s Transportation Awards competition. The contest honored projects that benefit their com munities in several ways, such as providing new pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to connect to a widely used trail in Northern Virginia and improving safety and efficiency for drivers in Arkansas and Missouri along a busy inter state corridor, among many others. Missouri Department of Trans portation’s project in McDon ald County was among the win ners: the I-49 Missouri-Arkansas Connector completed the final five miles of Interstate 49 from Pineville to the Arkansas border on the Missouri side of the proj ect. This included building two conventional bridges, one along northbound I-49 over southbound U.S. 71, and the second at Missou ri Route 90 over I-49. In addition, a diamond interchange was built at Route 90 crossing I-49. The com pleted portion in Arkansas consists of 14.3 miles of 4-lane divided highway built to interstate stan dards that includes four new in terchanges. The completion of this link finished a 290-mile section of I-49 and eliminated six stoplights.

Whether on foot, in a vehicle, on two wheels, or by rail or transit, state DOTs are continu ing to advance a safe, multimodal transportation system.”
All nominated projects will first compete on a regional level against projects of their own size: “Small” (projects costing up to $25 million), “Medium” (projects costing between $25 million and $200 million), and “Large” (proj ects costing more than $200 mil lion).In the Southern Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (SASHTO) region, nine states nominated 22 projects in the 2022 America’s Transportation Awards contest. The three highest scoring proj ects from each region will be named the “Top 12” on September 7 and will go on to compete for the top two national prizes in the 2022 America’s Transportation Awards competition.AASHTO will reveal the win ners of those top two prizes – each receiving $10,000 to donate to a charity or scholarship of their choice – at its 2022 annual meet ing this October in Orlando. MoDOT has won 12 regional ATA awards since 2010 and won the 2010 Grand Prize for The New I-64 project and the 2013 Peo ple’s Choice Award for the Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Pro gram.
