Love Test by Geraldine Davis Hooker Are your ready for love and an everlasting relationship? Before you dive headfirst into shallow water and break your neck, test yourself first to see if you're REALLY prepared. Satan steals love more than any other one thing, so be sure your relationship is secured in God's love before a commitment is made. It is humanly impossible to fall in love! We fall in love with the eruption of our emotions, but not with the other person, which is not the true essence of love. Falling for this mockery takes us on a roller coaster ride that has an abrupt and painful ending, which is a very foolish undertaking. When we are delivered into the hands of emotional discord, love is removed in exchange for fear, distrust, unfaithfulness and regret; and we are left to dwell in the earthshaking tempest of our deluge. Infatuation is indeed and electrifying feeling, but it cannot endure the pressures of the world for any length of time. For it’s merely an emotion and emotions are not reality, because they quickly change. Impetuously, they take us to the highs

of exhilaration, then drop us to the lowest of lows of depression. This emotional, inflaming state of infatuation will change from excitement, hope, happiness and perceived love, to fear, anger and grief. It will leave you confused, bitter and defeated. Love is not an emotion, it’s a commitment! If you are determined to make a lifelong commitment and cast down everything that interferes, then perhaps you are ready to walk through the doors of love. Until then, save yourself the agony of defeat. Taking responsibility for the course of action that love demands of us, only then is love able to grow. And the longer a commitment is preserved, the stronger and more enduring the bond becomes. Commitment locks and secures our relationships together, so love cannot fail or resist. It locks out everything that would prevent love from rooting and growing, which provides security, trust and loving affection. If you're not absolutely sure, stand still! Don't jump into anything suddenly or rashly. Move slowly, at a gradual pace, or you may find yourself buried in a lifetime of agony and defeat. Therefore I urge you to walk slowly in your search for love and let God walk beside you. For He said, "I (the Lord) will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go: I will counsel you with My eyes upon you." (Psalm 32:8)

CELEBRATING 52 YEARS OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY

Ask Dr. Hollie Dear Dr. Hollie, It’s been 10 years since I lost my niece to Leukemia. She was 12. When she got sick I became very emotional about it. I was living in a different state from her. When she would call me, my voice was lost and I’d just pass the phone and leave. This went on for a few months and eventually got to the point where I could at least say “hi” to her over the phone. But that’s about as far as those conversations would go before I had to go. Eventually her mom moved here to Texas. My niece told me that she felt that I was ashamed of her because I wouldn’t talk to her anymore. I explained it to her the best I could, but I was filled with so much guilt. However, while she was here and I could see her all the time, I was able to cope with it. I know that sounds selfish because I should’ve sucked it up for her sake from the beginning, but I’m just telling you how it happened. While she was here, I took her to appointments to get transfusions and chemotherapy. For a few months, she was doing really well and things felt normal. All of a sudden things went really bad. She got really sick. She couldn’t hold any food and was always in pain. Her mother decided to move back home, and my niece asked me if she could stay here with me. I had to tell her “no” because I was so scared. They moved back home and she died about three months later. I’m still feeling all that pain and I don’t know why. This is the best I can explain it in such a short letter, but maybe there is still something you can tell me that will help me get through birthdays and “deathdays” without so much sadness.

Grieving Too Long

Dear Grieving, Professionally, as a psychotherapist, we always suggest that anyone who grieves excessively more than three months should see someone. By excessive grief, I mean that it interferes with your daily activity and causes you constant worry and anxiety. It sounds like all of this is happening with you. So, I urge you to hurriedly get some assistance so that you can return to a more purposed and focused life, free of guilt and pain. Dr. Hollie is a Pastor and practicing psychotherapist in the city. For questions and comments, please write to askdrhollie@aol.com.

Notes From Union Hope

Our lesson for church school

This past Sunday we deviated from the standard church school lesson to take the time to teach some and remind others of what we as members of the Elder Lloyd T. Morgan National Primitive Baptist denomination believe and teach. We felt it is necessary In light of the fact that there are many churches that describe themselves as ministries instead of churches who have no ties to anyone but themselves and sometimes you can’t be sure of what they believe or teach we are taking the time not to question what others teach but to inform

every member of our congregation so that they might know and understand what we believe and teach as biblical doctrine as a church and denomination. Our youth minister Evangelist Vickie Johnson spoke to our youth encouraging them to avoid bad influence. The morning message was delivered by Pastor L.T. Morgan his subject was “Don’t lose sight of the prize” 2Tim. 4:6-8. Paul in what was probably his last letter tells Timothy that he was ready to be offered, to pour out his life as a drink offering to the Lord but he took consolation in the fact that he had fought a good fight, he had finished his course, he had kept the faith, but there was something beckoning him, encouraging him, comforting him even

From the Mount by Johnny King Our Sunday school lesson titled, "The Wedding at Cana" John 2: 1-12, the lesson high points were, "Jesus' transforming power in our lives, the power of Jesus that is necessary for our lives and sharing with other about our beginning of our new lives." Dr. Jimmy Layton delivered

Prayer Closet Rev. Clarence Henderson

Prayer is a powerful weapon that we use to combat against the tricks of the devil. It is an invisible weapon that accomplishes many things both natural and spiritual. James, the brother of Jesus tells us to pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. The fervent prayer is the prayer that is energized by the Holy Spirit. Read James 5:13 – 16 and there we will find a command to pray.

at that hour, he knew that there was a crown of righteousness awaiting him. Paul always kept in mind that there was a greater reward for believers in the life to come than this world could ever offer. Some have traded the eternal rewards for temporary things, houses, money, fame and we leave all these things behind when we leave this world. Many seem to be seeking the hand of God but not the face of God. Everyone want the blessings of this present world at the risk of losing the crown of life that Jesus promised to those that overcome the allure of this present world. Be Blessed!

the morning message titled, "Hearing and Believing the Requirement of Salvation" John 5:24. We were the guests at Union Hope Primitive Baptist Church for their annual Pastor Aide day, Rev. Daryl Williams delivered the annual day message. This Sunday (3/25) at 03:00 we will be celebrating our shepherd Support annual day, Rev. James Willey and Inspiring body of believer in Christ will be our guest.

GREGG’S SPOTLIGHT !! Soul-stirring Gospel Musical "

When you think about an ole fashion gospel musical, you think about toetapping, hand-clapping. You think about string guitars, violins and drums to name a few that will make you stand to your feet. You think about the deep voice vocalist, and then the sweet soft voice of one of the singers. With that all blended together, you will get a gospel good time. While taking nothing from contemporary music, the preaching of God’s word to invite souls to Christ and reviving believers in their faith, there is nothing more exciting to our souls and spirits, than a good “ole fashion, down-home, toetapping, hand clapping, standing on your feet Gospel Musical. Well on Saturday, March 24th, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. The New Cliff Missionary Baptist Church, located at 1704 Overton Rd, Dallas, Texas, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the leadership of Pastor Brown, cordially invite you to this type of musical, featuring the one and only “Soul Searchers”.! As David said in Psalm 100:4, “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name”. When you enter into the house of God, with thanksgivings and praise for the marvelous works He have done in your life, you can expect souls to saved, blessing to flow, lives changed and spirits renewed. Back in the day, before we became believers in Christ, we would go to concerts and do as we use to say “jam” the night away. When it was over, we look for some place to eat, before we journey home, we will be feeling good from the music played that night, and we will be full from the food afterward. Well you can expect the same from this “Soul-stirring Gospel Musical”! You won’t have to leave the parking lot, looking for a place to dine, just go to the fellowship hall, where they will be cooking “Southern Fried Catfish” with all the trimming. So COME ONE! COME ALL, and get your souls revived, with some “Soul-Stirring Gospel Music”, for When Praises go up, Blessing comes down! See you there! GREGG A. SMITH www.elitenews.com

Gone are the days of the dominate African American Schools. The Texas Southern Flying Tigers, the Ray Sadlers, Wesley Blackmons, Charles Whites, Homer Jones, Charlie Frazier, Robert Taylor’s etc. I’ve already omitted some great track athletes that I didn’t want to, such as the great Olympian James Hines.

High Schools dominate the competition now, not only at Texas Southern. They dominate the Texas Relays in Austin as well as most other places. The Professional runners dodge each other like the plague. I don’t believe you will see Tyson Gay run Usain Bolt, until the Olympics. It’s an even greater chance that you will never see them run each other again. In the event that they somehow line up you won’t see a winner the loser will pull up, and pretend to be hurt. Thus the emergence of the High School competition. And believe me it is outstanding. Aside from a little

I was out in Ennis, Texas this weekend when I noticed a guy’s shirt that read "Speed Kills." I laughed and thought to myself how amazing it is to see someone that has what we called in my era God Given Speed! Don't get me wrong, any athlete can become a more competitive runner. Any athlete can learn proper running form, this will allow them to move faster from point A to point B. An athlete can also do specialized drills and lift weights to help them to run faster than before! Proper training can help an athlete develop the ability to run faster. But I'm talking about SPEED!! I'm talking about that kind of speed that makes you stand to your feet, the type of speed that makes you look at your stop watch. I'm talking God Given ability! About a week ago I was at the Meet of Champions in Lancaster. This meet was absolutely great! It was a sunny day, there was a slight wind, and the stands were full with track fans young NoLimit 1 for 1/17/2012 and old. Cards_Layout The stage was set records to be broken.

Larry Taylor joins Dallas office of The Cochran Firm Dallas attorney Bryan Pope has announced that Larry Taylor joined the Dallas office of The Cochran Firm, the national legal practice launched by renowned attorney Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. "We are excited that Larry joined our firm," said Pope, managing partner in the Dallas office. "Young, energetic lawyers who are well-connected to the communities we serve are critical to the service we provide. Larry will be a tremendous boost to our team as we continue to build our foundation in North Texas." One of 23 regional offices, the Dallas office was the last one selected by and opened before the legendary Cochran passed away in 2005. A personal injury and criminal defense law firm, the Dallas office is committed to Cochran's vision of "representing common people, whether a serious injury wrongfully imposed or a tragic human death, we remain dedicated to full justice for all our clients." "I am honored to have met Mr. CT BBQ Postcard_Layout 2/7/2012 2:32 PM Cochran, and I am1 committed toPage the1 legacy he charged us with in his

passing," said Pope. "His desire to insure that justice and the rights guaranteed in the Seventh Amendment are available to everyone guides us each day. His determination to serve the communities we work in is the cornerstone of our work." Taylor says that commitment is what made the opportunity to join the Dallas office attractive. "When I met Bryan and many of the regional partners at the firm, I knew I was in the right place, said Taylor. The dedication to service is fundamental to the fabric of the firm regardless of whether the office is in Florida, New York, or California." “The Cochran Firm is a perfect fit given my background of community service. My involvement in youth sports, ex-offender networks and mentoring is as important to the legacy of the firm as it is to me," Taylor added. "That commitment is alive and well in the Cochran offices across America." Taylor previously served as an Assistant District Attorney for Dallas

Prior to that, he served as Director of Outreach for U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson's 30th Congressional District. In that role he worked to build stronger communities, assisted citizens in the District with obtaining state and federal resources, and worked toward economic development. His efforts were so profound in the area of economic empowerment that in 2009 the Dallas office of Texas Workforce Commission (Workforce Solutions of Greater Dallas) recognized him for his outstanding efforts in job creation. As a Cochran Firm attorney, Taylor is dedicated to the continued work of Johnny Cochran and the protection of civil rights and liberty.

This was a great year for Dallas area Schools. Led by The DeSoto Eagles, Lancaster Tigers in the boys division and the Lancaster Girls in the Girls division. In the recent years you can get a pretty good idea who would eventually win

the State Championship by what happens at TSU. The three major relay 4x100, 4x200, 4x400, DeSoto Boys won two of the three in National best times. Desoto Girls didn’t go. Lancaster seems to be heavy favorites in the 4a category at the State meet. Lancaster should be as dominant in 4a as DeSoto in 5a. The meet was not a runaway so these are my predictions this is not

a documentary. Houston area has the two time defending State 5a champion Glena Park North shore. And they are undefeated in the 4x100 over the last two years.
