Reputation And Character The circumstances amid which you live determine your reputation; the truth you believe determine your character. Reputation is what you are supposed to be; character is what you are. Reputation is the photograph; character is the face. Reputation comes over one from without; character grows up from within. Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community; character is what you have when you go away. Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor; character makes you happy or makes you miserable. Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone; character is what angels say about you before the throne of God. — Dr. William “Bill” Blair

Chris Arnold and Sam Putney Gone from K104?!! By Lola Searcy SAY IT AIN’T SO!! WHAT?!! Would somebody please tell us what’s really going on? Nobody told us anything officially when “Wigâ€? and Nanette left! You, know we all heard the rumors‌disagreement with management; personal issues; personalities clashed, etc. That’s what I heard when “Wigâ€? and Nanette left. And to be honest, even though I didn’t like it (and who cares what I think, anyway). I made the adjustment because we still had Skip, Sam and Chris! Then Skip moved to the grown up and sexy late night show, I’ve heard Nanette doing a few commercial spots on the show and I don’t know anything about “Wig’sâ€? whereabouts! But, c’mon now?! What ya’ll gonna do, K104? Skip Cheatum and the ‘Da Playground? ‘Cause I gotta be honest, when Skip Murphy, “Wigâ€?, Nanette, Sam & Chris were a part of the morning show, I would not dare get in my car and begin my morning commutes to Dallas with any other radio station; it was Skip Murphy and the morning show! When Skip Cheatum and ‘Da Playground took over, I would not purposely miss you guys, but if I found myself driving to Dallas and realized I wasn’t listening to ‘Da Playground, I would eject my Beverly Crawford, Kathy Taylor, Anthony Hamilton and India Arie CD’s to listen to K104 cause I knew Sam’s news and weather reports would make me laugh and think all at the same time, and I knew Chris
would keep me on top of my game! They made for intelligent, interesting and funny conversation! They made the people and the situations I have to deal with at work a little more tolerable! I’M SORRY SKIP CHEATUM AND DA PLAYGROUND‌YALL AIN’T FUNNY!! AT ALL! I don’t know what is going on at K104; but‌do you really think that was a smart move, Management?! I mean Chris Arnold has been a part of the K104 team since 1978! I was still in High School then! And when Skip Murphy and the home team came on board in 1993; along came Sam Putney, the “Wigâ€?, Nanette and Chris were already there; it just brought such a refreshing and welcoming change to morning radio! So, I guess we’ll never know what happened. They wouldn’t tell the truth if it killed them. I’ll just say this‌ I know times are hard, so it may have been about contract negotiations; but if it had anything at all to do with personalities, K104: YOU IN BIG TROUBLE!!! JUST LOST ONE LISTENER! YOUR MORNING SHOW PERSONALITIES, INSPIRATIONAL IV’S WITH PASTOR FREDDY HAYNES WAS THE “ONLYâ€? REASON I LISTENED (PAST TENSE) TO K104! RICKEY SMILEY, STEVE HARVEY, I’LL HOLLA AT YA IN THE MORNING!! K104; IT’S BEEN Sam and Chris, ‘holla at me! REAL! lolasearcy@sbcglobal.net

TIGER IS BACK! LET’S PLAY GOLF!! By Lola Searcy Eldrick “Tiger” Woods is BACK! Tiger Woods will be making his return to golf this week during the MASTERS tournament scheduled for Thursday, April 8th – Sunday, April 11th. Tiger will return to the familiar, comfortable and successful greens at the Augusta National Golf Course in Augusta, Georgia. It’s been a few months since Tiger and his wife Swedish model and Actress, Elin had their “episode” and video footage has been shown, and every television show has talked about it! Everybody that is anybody has had their say about what happened with Woods and his wife. Well, what ever happened, since Tiger left, the game of golf has not been the same. I mean, let’s be real. Tiger Woods is the reason most of us started watching golf, I know that’s the only reason I did! Truthfully, the Golf world missed him a whole lot more than we did! Let me see a show of hands of all of our readers who have even bothered to watch a game of golf since the Tiger and Elin fiasco? Just what I thought! So, that means that advertisers were paying all that money to advertise on national television and no one was watching! Nobody was rushing out to by the golf clubs he used…Cars are way too expensive to just run out and buy anyway, but seriously though, Tiger Woods is the reason I started looking seriously at the new Buick cars! Have you seen the watch? It took the golf community long enough! I’m surprised they waited this long to get him back. You know his stint in rehab was just so the PGA (Professional Golf Association) could justify his return to the sport, don’t you?!

First Family of the White House Visits the First Family of Allen Chapel A.M.E. I’m sure many of you, by now, have received the email telling of President Obama and the First Family, and Mrs. Marian Robinson, mother of Mrs. Michelle Obama, their visit to Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church, in Washington, D.C.’s 8th Ward, on Easter Sunday morning. Well, for those who have not had the opportunity to read about this event, this is your opportunity. “President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, daughters Melia and Sasha and Mrs. Marian Robinson, mother of Mrs. Obama, attended the 11:00 a.m. Easter services at Allen Chapel, African Methodist Episcopal Church, in Southeast Washington’s Ward 8. The motorcade left the North Portico at 10:45 a.m. (The South Lawn was set up for the Monday Easter Egg Roll), rolled down 15th Street, past the Tidal Basis, where throngs were examining the faded cherry blossoms, to the church at 2498 Alabama Av. SE. The Church’s sub-
title is “The Cathedral of Southeast.’’ The overflow crowd of congregants was standing, clapping and singing “Alleilua’’ when the first family entered via a side door at 11:05 a.m. and walked along the edge of the sanctuary to sit far stage right in the second pew, setting off applause, cheers and cell-phone cameras. The altar was flanked by the American flag, in front of the Obama’s pew, and the Episcopal Church’s flag on stage left. The pool was positioned at the back of the church, 20 pews behind the Obama family. Ten badged ushers in dark suits and bowties and white gloves lined the two aisles. A 50-person choir arrayed on three rows in the sanctuary facing the congregation sang several gospel songs, clapping and waving to the beat of a keyboard ensemble. The president swayed gently to the strong beat and the ampedup sound system. A number of speakers referred to the

president’s attendance. “The president of the United States and his family,’’ “our black president,’’ “the commander in chief,” The Rev. Dr. Michael E. Bell Sr., pastor of the church, referred to the president as the “most intelligent, most anointed, most charismatic president of American.’’ He called Mrs. Obama “his beautiful wife – TV cameras don’t do her justice.” “God has His hand all over you,’’ Pastor Bell said, referring to the presi-

The 83rd Clyde Little Field Texas Relays By Jordan Blair The Texas Relays in Austin has been a wonderful event to attend for many years. Many diverse black people come in loads from all over the Country to see this massive event every year. With the economy in such bad shape, this event brings about a major economic impact to Austin in the tune of 8 million dollars or more as estimated by the Chamber of Commerce. The 83rd Clyde Little Field Texas Relays was very entertaining and captivating as it is every year. The weather was very track friendly with the sun beaming and very few clouds. This year DISD only had Dallas Madison men’s track team and Skyline girl’s track team that entered the track meet. Other districts like Mansfield, Desoto, and Lancaster made an appearance at the meet. Where are the rest of the track teams in DISD? It’s almost as if we don’t have any more talent coming out of this great sports city of Dallas. The Texas Relays Is a meet that brings talent from all over the Country and even abroad, High Schools, Colleges, Universities, you name It. Athletes and many others gather each year to give the High School students the opportunity to show case their talents for scholarships ,Etc… This was the same case back In 1985, during that record breaking meet and the dual between Hawthorn High School track team from California and Roosevelt High
April 9, 2010
School track team from Dallas that changed the way the Texas Relays has operated since. Not all records, apparently, are made to be broken. It’s been 25 years since a pioneering school team journeyed from California to challenge Texas’ fastest runners, including one still considered by some to be the best over prep sprinter, “The Robot,” Roy Martin. The clash helped change the fact of the Texas Relays, and it produced a pair of races that were electric and indelible. The time of 3 minute sand 7:40 seconds that Mike Marsh and his Hawthorne, CA. teammates scorched to in the 1,600 meter relay still stands not only as a Texas Relays record, but as a national high school standard. Also remaining on the Relays’ record books is a 10.18-second 100 meters that Martin blazed to that weekend. The shootout between the schools and their superstars was so intense that neither Marsh Thomas nor Martin talked to reporters after their final event, the 1,600meter relay. The defeat in that race still stings Martin, who half-joked that he would be sure to stay in Dallas when informed that the Hawthorne relay team would be honored Saturday at Myers Stadium. “That’s almost more than I can take,” Martin said with a sign. “I'd give anything if we could go back and do it again.”
Prayer Closet PASTOR CLARENCE HENDERSON
Church Woman Of The Week
ELITE NEWS COLUMNIST
I mentioned in last week’s prayer closet, that God made man for his glory and to satisfy His desire for fellowship, conversation and appreciation. When God made man, He blessed him and spoke to him. That was the beginPastor ning of a heavenly Clarence communication sysHenderson tem. It was the love device by which God poured out his heart to man and man poured out his heart to God. Their richest joys came when “The voice of Lord God came walking in the garden.” They walked and talked together. God told man how he loved him. God told man his will for him. Man discovered that God is the supplier of all his needs. It was then and even now that man seeks to please God by fellowship, conversation and appreciation and it all begins in prayer.

Yet Will I Praise Him instant. Pain, sorrow, hunger, anger, confusion, and desperation. God please help, and show us how we can help one another. The song writer wrote a wonderful praise chorus with the words, "As the deer panteth for the water so my soul longeth after you." We have sung that song many times bringing to mind our longing after God and our great anticipation and desire to be in His presence. Psalm forty-two and forty-three were originally written as a Geraldine Davidson-Hooker single psalm. This can be seen by reading the two psalms together and witnessing the consistent flow and seamless message. In these psalms the writer remembers what it was like to praise God, but is currently at a point where praise does not seem possible. He longs to be with God but he can't. Psalm forty-three continues by asking God for vindication and protection; "rescue me from deceitful and wicked men" (Psalm 43:1). The writer desperately wants to praise but is unable. God seems distant and uninvolved, and the enemy is fierce. But in spite of the challenges, the writer is confident he will one day return. "Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God." Psalm 42:11 and 43:5 A deer that pants after water desires something it cannot have. There is a barrier keeping the deer from the water, and so the deer pants in frustration. The writer is at the frustrating point of panting, but is reassured that there will one day be true reason to praise. Many people woke up this morning wondering if they will ever be able to praise God. Some are facing earthquakes and death, but many others are facing the separation and pain which keeps them from God. And yet, we have so many reasons to praise, so many reasons to declare His goodness and grace. Jesus told us we would have troubles in this world but then said, "But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). Through all the confusion, anger and doubt, He is still our "refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). I pray that God will use these words to minister in a mighty way today. I pray they will find their way to those who are in great need. We all have reason for hope. He will never leave us, will never stop calling our name. Let's resolve to face our trials, no matter how great, and confidently proclaim "I will yet praise!"

First, Continued from Page 4 dent. “Anyone would be foolish to come up against him.” Pastor Bell called Mrs. Robinson “a true AMEer” who was “born an AMEer.” Pastor Bell said “it was no accident that he (Obama) is here in light of what happed here last Tuesday,” referring to the drive-by shooting deaths of four people in the African American community in one of the worst outbreaks of violence in recent Washington history. The president’s presence was “helping our community heal,” Pastor Bell said. Pastor Bell said attendees included Washington, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty and family, and Marion Barry, D.C. Council Member from Ward 8. Mrs. Obama wore a cream-colored scooped-back elbow-length dress. The president wore a dark suit. Melia wore a pink dress and Mrs. Robinson wore a bright rosecolored dress. Your pooler could not spot Sasha. Pastor Bell announced that the Obama family would leave after they receive communion. The first family kneeled at the communion rail, far stage right, as the Rt. Rev. Adam Jefferson Richardson, Jr., presiding bishop, recited the Lord’s Prayer and then distributed communion, starting far stage left and working his way to the first family. Communion consisted of wafers and individual thimble-size glasses of grape juice. The motorcade departed church at 12:50 p.m., back to the White House at 1:04 p.m.” History of Allen Chapel, AME When the Civil War started in 1861, the future of Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church had already recorded at least a decade of service to free Blacks in the community of “Good Hope”, the earliest settlement in the “Anacostia” area of Washington, D.C. Following the war, Allen Chapel became the focal point and center of activity for a growing congregation. It attracted many former slaves who purchased small plots of land and settled around Good Hope Hill. Rev. A.W. Wayman and later Rev. J.H. Shorter of Israel A.M.E. Church (now C.M.E.) provided early leadership, and by 1860, the church was organized and firmly established on Hampton Road, which was renamed Alabama Ave. in 1924. At least one structure was destroyed by fire. The sturdy “little white church” served the congregation from the 1920’s until the Rev. James Williamson led them into the new brick sanctuary in 1963, located at 2498 Alabama Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C. In 1989, the church completed construction on the present multi-purpose building, which is used continuously for church activities and community events. In 1991, the Church proudly dedicated the newly reconstructed sanctuary that we use today. To learn more about Allen Chapel, visit http://www.acamec.org/history.htm. Rev. Michael E. Bell, a dynamic preacher and teacher, is now Senior Pastor of Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church. I’m sure this was a momentous occasion for Rev. Bell and his entire congregation. Way to go Allen Chapel!

GREGG A. SMITH’S “BACKYARD SPOTLIGHT” Biography of Burnett "Captain Jack" Watson By Roman Ross Burnett "Captain Jack" Watson, is a blues Vocalist, not just one who interprets his music as work but has a love for music, which was hidden inside for a long time. He was born in Gonzales, Texas south of the coast. He and his twin brother were adopted by his uncle and aunt, George and Wessie Mae Watson at the age of 18 months old and moved to Dallas, Texas in 1968. Captain Jack often played in church and joined the school band at Wilmer Hutchins High School. Captain Jack sung in the youth’s choir and played drums at 10 years old and was introduced to the blues world by his Uncle Morris White who formally was Bobby Patterson first manager. His uncle was known in Dallas as a great guitar player. Morris taught him and his twin how to sing and play the blues. At age 14, Captain Jack formed his first blues band which was managed by his older brother Roy Cassell and his uncle Larry White. Captain Jack played the drums in the marching band under the leadership of Bobby Simpson, who also played with Bobby Patterson and The Mustangs. On Thursday nights, Captain Jack was asked to sing on stage at the Coaches Corner giving him his first big break. Captain Jack was introduced to another world of the blues when Big Charles Young would call him on
Burnett "Captain Jack" Watson stage at RL Blues Palace and pass him the microphone so he could get down. Captain Jack has opened for artists such as
Little Milton, TJ Hooker Taylor, Floyd Taylor, Jeff Floyd, TK Soul, Carl Marshall, Rue Davis, Joe Tex, Jr., Donnie Ray Aldridge, Vernon Garrett, L.J. Echols, The Rose Brothers, Bobby Patterson, Ernie Johnson, Gregg A. Smith, Silver Tones, Miss Levell White, Lil Dave Thomas, Blue Lisa & The Big D Play Boys, Cheryl Arena, Joe Jonas, TuTu Jones, Jonnie T. Harris, Christian Dozzles, Willie Clayton, Sir Charles Jones and many more. Captain Jack's squalling has been compared to the late Z.Z. Hill, Bobby Blue Bland, and the late Little Milton. Many blues lovers will be blessed by his voice and energetic stage performance. Recently he has signed with CDS Records and his first album "Brand New Man" was recently released. The single from the album "I'm In Love With A Woman Other Women Talk About" is steadily climbing the charts and getting critical acclaim from the Southern Blues community. Captain Jack would like to thank God for allowing him to step out on faith to reach beyond limitations to enjoy the gift of singing that is bestowed upon him.

Relays, Continued from Page 5 Fans, however, were anything but disappointed by those 1985 Texas Relays. Most of 11,000 who filled the Memorial Stadium that unforgettable Saturday left thinking they had just caught a sneak preview of a couple of future Olympic gold medalists. They had, but not even the sprinters could have anticipated who they turned out to be. Even by Texas’ lofty standards, the 1980s were a special era in high school track. “It was just an awesome time to be running high school track,” said Joe DeLoach, who won the Class 4A 100 and 200 meter state titles in 1984. Former Dallas Roosevelt coach Earnest James still maintains that no one, not even Carl Lewis, was a better high school sprinter than Martin. More than another fast phenom, Martin was an entertainer, a rock star in spikes. .” In closing I still ask the QUESTION WHERE WAS THE DALLAS TEAMS? We might have missed the Robot of this era, oh I forgot he was stuck In Dallas and didn’t get to perform on the biggest stage to show his wares.

“ If President Obama was White�
If President Obama were White there never would have been such thing as “TParties�. There never would have been slander remarks made against certain people in the Congress. There never would have been signs with President Obama’s picture on it portraying Hitler, a monkey etc. If President Obama was Gene Turner White there would never Out of the Eyes of have been disrespect shown toward him, simply because a Layman He is the President of the United States of America. There have been other presidents who passed or tried to pass bills, which were unpopular to American people, but they never lost respect for the President because of the position he represents. In President Obama’s case it’s different, because the Southern White’s, especially the male factor do not think a Black man is capable of leading this country. President Carter made this plain sometime ago, and people booed Carter for making that statement. Don’t get us wrong here, I know that this does not apply to all southern Whites, because I have talked with a few young White males who believe President Obama is trying to help all people. The reason why he is president today is directly or in-directly because of the young White voters. You do know that thirty three million Black voters never could have put President Obama in office against the other 274 million people, which means that he had to carry most of the votes from that 274 million people who were not Black. If President
Obama was White these news commentators on FOX TV and some other news stations would not dare to disrespect a President of the United States the way they have President Obama. It is a shame how this country has treated this President, it would not make any difference if he was green, he is still the President of this country, and we as a people should respect him as the President. If President Obama was White, he could have done what Bush did without anything being said to the contrary. As we all know Bush and his staff lied about Nuclear weapons in Iraq in order to send troops there. Bush almost broke Social Security the first three months he was in office. No one said anything about the stimulus money he gave to the rich. He gave the poor $360.00, that was to keep the poor people quiet, but the big companies and rich received millions of dollars. No one, or no commentator on the news said anything about it. If President Obama were White, he would be respected as President rather than be called a lie on National TV by a White racist. If President Obama were White he would be called President Obama on the news instead of “Obama�. President Obama was hand picked by God to do what he is doing. There is not another Black man in this world that would be as calm about all this as President Obama is. What really bothers this 21st century racist, is the fact that there has never been another elected President in the White House with the mind this man has, except John F. Kennedy and Jimmy Carter, they come real close. What most people do not understand is the fact that God put him

Barber Shop Sports Talk with Leon Simon Flozell “the Hotel� Adams no longer a Cowboy. A1998 2nd round draft pick was released Friday along with safety Ken Hamlin. That would seem to suggest that either Doug Free is ready for prime time or the Cowboys will make a move in free agency or both. With an uncapped year coming up and the Cowboys having ideas of participating in the first Super bowl at Jerry’s world, it would be unheard of to enter such an important season with two key positions as safety an left tackle being questionable positions. After investing so much money in Tony Romo to have his blindside unprotected or questionable protection. Adams release brings mixed emotion from Cowboy fans that’s just the nature of the position. Adams received quite a few penalties, that was the nature of the position also. Left tackle usually pit’s the largest offensive lineman against The smallest, quickest, most athletic defensive linemen. That works well for the offensive lineman if all plays were running plays and the bigger man is going forward. That changes greatly when it’s a passing situation an the bigger guy has to back up. When the Cowboys won their first super bowl it was Ralph Nealy, Ralph got so many holding calls, people would call him grabbers. Every body spoke negatively about Ralph, all but Roger Staubach, Roger called him friend. In the Jimmie Johnson era Skip Bayless said the Cowboys would never win a Super bowl with Mark Tuinea at Left tackle, they won three. Holding, tripping, hands to the face are often calls left an right tackles usually get, and sometime it’s the type plays need to help quarterback stay in the game and some cases the league. Skip said Mark couldn’t block the likes of Clyde Simmons with out help. That’s a fact of life most left tackles, even Hall of Fame types need help, when down an distant favor the defender.
The tackle position is a very visible, and very important position. An infraction quite often draws a penalty a mistake sometimes brings the paramedics on the field and in some case a concussion for the quarterback. Concussions has Leon Simon been the demise of more qb’s than interceptions. To the novice those type penalties stop drives, changes momentum an take teams out of scoring position. Causes coaches to lose their job, but it causes quarterbacks and running backs to buy Rolex watches for Christmas and season end for said offenders. Each of the tackles I mentioned, there were a lot of people that wanted them out of here and Flozell was no different. Talk to their peer group, Justin Tucks one of Flozell�s staunches rivals was ask who was the best left tackle in the league, Flozell Adams was the answer. Doug Free might go down as the best left tackle to ever play in the NFL, or the Cowboys could make a trade or draft the best to ever play. That won’t demean the career or the effort that Flozell gave the Cowboys. Before you celebrate flozell’s leaving lets salute what he did while he was here.

Welcome to the weekend Baaaby! Funny dude Kevin Hart's at the House of Blues in Dallas...Funny foooorrrr sure, lol... Congrats to the Mav' who have finished their home games for the regular season. The last two Kevan games before the Browning playoffs happen Saturday night in Sacramento against the Kings (Boy I used to hate their fans cowbells) and in L.A. against the Clippers and Monday! Good luck to the Rangers and manager Ron Washington and finally, Could you believe the Eagles traded Donovan McNab to the Redskins in the same division... Jerry, lets get focused! I don't want to see the Redskins playing a Super Bowl in Arlington, next January! Shaq and Shaunie's O'Neals divorce couldn't have come at a better time. Shaunie O'Neal's new show "Basketball Wives" on VH1 is full of nothing but drama. It's definitely going to be interesting to see how these Shaunie Oneal women will get along but maybe the show should have a new name... "FUTURE EX-BASKETBALL WIVES AND JUMP-OFFS" because by the end of all this foolishness, all of them will probably be single! Peep all tha drama at 9p on Sunday! From the "Say It Ain't So" category... In Touch magazine is the first to allege that a drug relapse is the real reason behind Whitney Houston's tour postponements in Europe this week. The publiWhitney Houston
www.dfwelitenews.com
cation is quoting a source who claims he witnessed the songstress sneaking a snort of cocaine last month at a Los Angeles hotel, just weeks before the start of her European tour that has since been postponed. Pray for Whitney, as Rick James said on the Chappell show, "Cocaine is a terrible drug"! When Christina Milian and The Dream got together, we all Jay-Z knew it was a business transaction. She needed some tracks and he needed well... something better than Nivea. In the latest issue of US Weekly, Christina shows off Baby Violet but The Dream is nowhere to be found. That's showbiz! Yo Jigga Man... We knew Jigga had it going on, but we didn't quite know he had it like that! Well, Billboard Boxscore made a recent tally of 2010's top grossing shows thus far, and Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 tour took eight of the top 35 spots. Of the eight, Jay-Z's best-selling show closed out at #10 overall after it grossed $1,322,831. To give some added perspective on how much an artist can make in two weeks of touring, Jay-Z's tour, which featured Jeezy and Maya Angelou Trey Songz, grossed a total of $9,731,218 between March 11-24. His recent $50 million deal with Live Nation is likely responsible for the high live performance profits! Or is it just because he's tha Jigga man? Happy Birthday to YOU and Celeb's this week: Maya Angelou is 82, James "Rockford Files" Garner is 82, John Madden is 74Billy Dee Williams is 70, Steven Seagal is 58, Tony Dorsett and Jackie Chan are 56, David Blaine 37, and Rudy AKA Keisha Knight Pulliam is 31!

We pray that all had a wonderful “Resurrection Sunday” as the body of Christ again celebrated our king’s victory over death. Union Hope participated in Sunrise service with the Sinai District Association at the Good Shepherd Primitive Baptist church where the Elder Charles William serves Eld. Lloyd as pastor. Elder John T. Morgan Richardson pastor of Zion Chapel Primitive Baptist church delivered the news that the tomb is empty. Church school lesson was “The Community faces Pain and Joy” John 16:16-24,20:11-16. We saw that the disciples were like many today they heard Jesus teaching that he would suffer and die yet they did not grasp what he was talking about. He says “a little while, and you shall not see me: and again a little while, and you shall see me because I go to my father. He was trying to prepare them for his crucifixion; they heard but did
not understand. Jesus taught them how to direct their prayers in the future assuring them that “Whatsoever” they would ask the father his name, he would give them. This did not mean what many take it to mean today, that whatever we ask in his name the Father is obligated by this promise to do it. Jesus is speaking in relation to ministry not houses and cars. Our King conquered our last enemy death, and arose on the third day “Victorious “that all might be assured that death has been conquered that there is life after death. Our morning message was delivered by our pastor Eld.L.T.Morgan from the subject “From doubt to faith” John 20:24-29. For the doubters we have Thomas the disciples who doubted the report that Jesus was back from the dead and declared that he would not believe unless he could feel the nail prints in his hand and place his hand in the wound in his side. Jesus made another appearance just for him and allowed him the opportunity to examine him with his hands. He ever lives!! Be blessed
Obama, Continued from Page 9 there “FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS”. No matter what he comes up with it will work because of the only wise God our Father. If you read Tuesday’s paper over in the business section you saw positive signs of the economy moving upward. Just look at what the news say, In the 3rd paragraph, “and they say they no longer fear a double-dip recession-in which the end of government stimulus money would tip the economy back into contraction.” the economy added 162,000 jobs last month. The most in nearly 3 years, which means we were in a down economy 2 years before President Obama became President. Businesses are hiring at a higher rate now, and there is a reason for all this, “GOD”. “FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS” I am sure that many of our readers are aquatinted with the book of Esther. Esther becomes queen, because King Ahasuerus loved her more than the others. When she was made queen, she was now in a
PAGE 12
www.dfwelitenews.com
position to save her people, and that is why Mordecai, the only father she knew told her that “Thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this.” That is what God is doing with President Obama right now. President Obama was made president by God in order to carry out the will of God for a people at this appointed time. This is why everything he comes up with will pass for the good of the people of the USA. President Obama is our blessing from God Himself. Watch this, President Obama will win the next election by a wider margin than he did this time. This is a question of the day. There are about 14 or 16 states protesting to courts against the Health Care Reform. What was President Obama’s very successful profession before he became involved in politics? Let us not forget to read our Bibles, and may God bless you REAL GOOD, and may He ever keep you in His loving care.

Reverend Cecil Smith, Sr. March 31, 1937 – April 4, 2010 Cecil Smith was born near Caldwell, TX on March 31, 1937 to the parentage of Vivian Smith and Mary Pollard. He transcended from earth to glory on April 4,
2010. He was educated in Dallas County Schools, graduated from Lincoln High School, class of 1955, and matriculated at Bishop College. He was reared from age two at the Bethlehem Baptist Church, Dallas, TX under the pastorate of the late Rev. Fred Bookman. The late James McGlover, a choir member at Bethlehem, was named his godfather. McGlover played a vital part in Pastor Smith’s formulative years, his early religious growth, and his path to the Mt. Pisgah Church. His first pastorate was at Union Valley Baptist Church, Terrell, TX where he pastored for seventeen years. He then answered the call of Sims Chapel, Dallas, TX and served there faithfully for four years. In March, 1972 Pastor Smith assumed leadership of the Mt. Pisgah Missionary Baptist Church, affectionately called “The Rock”, and served as pastor for thirty-two years. His legacy of service and love for Mt. Pisgah resulted in a ministry that is recognized on national, state, and local levels. Rev. Smith had a love for preachers and has been fruitful in producing many sons in the ministry. Pastor Smith’s deeds speak for him. He devoted himself unselfishly and tirelessly to a host of humanitarian causes. His activities were extensive and he found the time and energy to serve, to work, and to

lead, assuming innumerable burdens with humor and grace. He united in marriage to Bernice Brewster on June 17, 1957 and to this union six children were born. She preceded him in death on February, 12, 1988. On June 25, 1994 Pastor Smith was joined in holy wedlock to Joyce Hessert and they embarked on a loving journey that lasted for fifteen years, nine months and four days. Affectionately known as “Pops” by some and “Packy” by others, he lovingly touched the lives of many who will cherish his love and legacy. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mary Pollard and Vivian Smith, wife and mother of his children, Bernice Brewster-Smith, one daughter, Carolyn D. Smith and sister, Diane Booker. He will be remembered by his loving and faithful wife, Joyce Smith, Brother William A. Smith (Edith), Abilene, TX, Sons; Rev. Cecil T. Smith (Jacquelyn), Dallas, TX, Michael Smith, Idabel, OK, and Kendall Nash, Richmond VA. Daughters; Pamelar Smith-Walker (Darrell), Vanessa Smith-Brown, Dayphine SmithBrumsey (Rev. Dolvine) all of Dallas, TX, Lisa CrawfordThomas (Willie), Grand Prairie, TX, Carol Jones-Gilbert, Richmond, VA and Ordonia Nash-Baker (Adrian), Carrollton, TX. His generation includes twelve grandchildren and nine great grand-children. He is loved by a host of relatives including sister’s in-law, brother’s inlaw, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
