What a daughter saw in her father
I
know some of you are wondering why I wrote the Fathers Day message this week instead of last week when it was Fathers Day. It was for effect. There were Henry Nelson millions of Fathers Day messages last week, but this week the numbers are down and may mean something to the persons who missed the messages last week. Amen! One of the names used to describe our God is Jehovah Shammah. THE GOD WHO IS THERE, in many homes in America there is suffering from the phantom father. The father who is not there and even in some homes even when he is there, they are not there. Hundreds of men have fathered children and simply walked away from the family. Let me say fathering a child does not make a man a father. For to carry the title of father, also carries with it great responsibilities. Other men though living in the family are so absorbed by their careers that they seldom spend time
with the children. The effects have and are devastating, not only to the family unit, but you can see its effect in our society. Were you aware that a decade ago, the number of murders committed by teen was approx. 1000 a year, today it is about 4000 a year. Some would like to blame poverty, broken homes both physical and mental abuse, but as one psychologist put it there are many that come from the same back grounds that are not committing acts of violence. Recent reports tell us that because of a lack of father figures in the Home in the past 30 years there have been increases in violent crime, increases in illegitimate births, increases in teen pregnancies and increase in teen suicide. Many juveniles in state reform institutions come from fatherless homes. The home doesn’t need a man in the house, it needs a father! We are told of a man by the name of Jairus, he was a religious man, a ruler of the local synagogue, but he was also a father. Verse 21 tells us that Jesus is coming back into Capernaum. He is coming from the tombs of Gadarea. He has delivered the possessed man upon arriving at the shore people are eventually had been looking,
waiting for him and as he arrived, many people gathered around him. But we now focus upon one individual one of the rulers if the Synagogue his position is important: Jarius was a presiding elder of the synagogue an assembly that included the whole community of Capernaum; his position made him one of the most prominent men of the congregation. He was neither a teacher nor a preacher, but was responsible for the order of the synagogue service. He was the keeper of the sacred books, which were the property of the community he was in a sense the president of the congregation and the administrative head of the city, the city manager so to speak. If you would like the full message this week please email at: revelations75044@msn.com MARK 5:21-24, 35-43: When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on
“Taste Test” Wake Up! Taco Potato Salad
her so that she will be healed and live.” So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him.” While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?” Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him.” After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”). Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished. He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.”

CARAWAy, continued from front page
Thanks Mayor Caraway you did a Good Job! By Lola Searcy
ELITE nEWS STAFF WRITER
M
onday morning, June 27th Mike Rawlings was sworn in as Mayor of the City of Dallas. When then Mayor Tom Leppert announced that he would not seek another term as Mayor of Dallas, Dwaine Caraway has been the man in charge of conducting the business of the city and citizens of Dallas as Mayor. But, now that Mike Rawlings has been sworn in as the new Mayor of Dallas, we thought we would take a look at how former Mayor now, councilman Dwaine Caraway did during his four months as Mayor of Dallas. What kind of a legacy will Dwaine Caraway leave as Mayor of the City of Dallas? you know the old saying, “when I do good no one remembers, but when I do bad no one forgets?” This may very well be the phrase to define Dwaine Caraway’s short tenure as Mayor of Dallas. you can never have a discussion about Mayor Caraway without someone bringing up the infamous “key to the city incident” with Philadelphia Eagles’ Quarterback Michael Vick. Then there was the incident at his home between he and his wife. A private matter between him and his wife that was none of our business anyway, those critics still bring up when talking about then Mayor Dwaine Caraway. The major newspapers will probably never bring up the many, many times he has stopped by local churches in the Oak Cliff, Pleasant Grove, South Dallas, East Dallas, and north Dallas areas to share encouraging words to Pastors and parishioners for their work in the community and for their commitment to the people they lead. Or what about the countless speaking engagements he accepted long before
s
becoming the Mayor; and the speaking engagements he continue’s to accept once he took on the role and responsibility of Mayor? And who could ever forget his “PuLL ‘EM uP” campaign to encourage young men; especially African American men, to stop degrading themselves by wearing their pants well below their waistline; revealing their underwear and body parts.. This campaign alone gets former Mayor Caraway high marks and high praise! He took three bus loads of children to Arkansas to the William Jefferson Clinton presidential library, and took them on a tour of the civil rights museum. That speaks volumes about former Mayor Caraway, especially since there seems to be a shortage of positive things for today’s teenagers and young people to do. Mayor Caraway visited the “Exciting” Ervay Cedar Baptist Church one Sunday and heard a young man named Twaylon Johnson speak on the topic of “respecting yourself”. Mr. Caraway was so impressed with what the young man said that he invited him down to city hall to recite his speech before the council. Twaylon has never forgotten that experience; and often voices his gratitude to Mr. Caraway for allow-

John Wiley Price, what will the FBI find? By: Jordan Blair ELITE nEWS PuBLISHER
J
ohn Wiley Price is from Forney, Texas. His father drove trucks and his mother was a homemaker, raising Price and his two brothers and three sisters. When Price came to Dallas, he sold men’s clothing at Sanger-Harris in Big Town Mall. Soon after, he enrolled at El Centro
some cars at John Wiley Price’s home allegedly owned by inmates now owned by John Wiley Price
College in Dallas. He later married and had a son. He divorced in 1981, but several years later adopted two other children. In 1972, Price ran for precinct chairman and won. Price caught the eye of Politicians like the late Al Lipscomb and then Dallas County Commissioner Mel Price. Price was then able to obtain an office job in the County Public Works Department…and the rest is history. This is how he got started in county government. Price is the first African American elected to the Dallas County Commissioner’s Court and is currently the longest ranking member. It is being said that he is one of the most powerful and prominent advocates for the people of Dallas County. After 27 years in the same position, he continues to be the most outspoken and diligent advocate for all of Dallas County, not just his constituents in District 3. The people who support Price will agree 100%. However, there are those who will have a totally different take on what he has done for District 3, and who he really is. When the FBI came knocking on the doors of Price’s home and office, and the offices of Kathy nealy (a political consult-
ant) and Dapheny Fain (Price’s longtime administrative assistant) that sent sparks throughout Dallas County. What will the FBI find? This is just one of many questions being asked in relation to the latest development involving “Our Man Downtown,” Commissioner John Wiley Price. Commissioner Price has a long and storied record of service to Dallas County. For years, he has consistently fought for and championed the causes of those who have been left out economically, politically and socially. He promised the voters in his district that if he were elected to serve as their Commissioner, one of his first initiatives would be to guarantee that minority and Women Enterprise would have equal opportunities to do business in Dallas County. Has he kept his word to the constituents and those he serves? For more than 14 years Price has served as the host of a weekly community forum known as the Dallas County Community Leadership Luncheon. For 12 years, he was the nightly host of KKDA’s “Talk Back, Liberation Radio,” a program that focused on educating the community.
Commissioner Price still gives commentary on KKDA Soul 730 AM on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. With all of his involvement in the community and his service to Dallas County, one could not help but ask why is the Federal government raiding his office and conducting investigations, what are they looking for, and why did they seize his properties and vehicles? Why did they seize automobiles at the home of political consultant Katy nealy? What are FBI and IRS agents looking for? Why did FBI and IRS agents choose this time to come knocking on Commissioner Price’s door? According to what we have read and heard through other media outlets, the FBI and IRS are looking for any evidence of theft, briery and much more. We will keep you, the readers, informed as this story continues to unfold. We should hold your opinions and judgments until the equation unfolds. Whether you like Commissioner Price or not, let the justice system work through the process. If there is something there, then let justice be served.

Psalm 145:14
Dr. William M. Campbell
Things a little heavy right now? Help is on the way
I
t has been proven over and over again that most Christians do not really recognize their answered prayers, Why? Because God does not answer us when we think he should. We must remember that it was God who brought time into existence, so, time never slips up on God. God knows when and how to answer our prayers. Let us look at Acts: 12, we find that Peter is put into jail and Herod killed James in order to harass certain leaders in the church. Look at verse 5: Peter therefore was Kept in prison: “but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.” We know the story how they had Peter chained between two soldiers, and God delivered him out of jail. Look what happened in verse 13, Peter knocked at the door and Rhoda (a young girl) came to the door, and when she saw it was Peter, she went and told the others. They said she was crazy and she did not know what she was talking about. Why did they say that? Because they did not recognize the fact that God had answered their prayers. I know we remember Zachariah who was a priest. not only was he a priest, but a very special priest. Zachariah walked before God Blameless, but he and Elizabeth did not have any children. Elizabeth was looked down upon because in those days people figured there was sin in their lives if there were no children now, one of the most important duties of a priest was to burn incense upon the altar of incense. no matter how old or how important he was he could only burn incense one time during his priest years. All people in the Temple were waiting for Zachariah to show himself so they can celebrate. When Zachariah went into the room to burn incense he saw an angel at the right side of the table of incense, and told Zachariah to fear not, the Lord will give you a boy child and I want you to name him John. In Luke 1:18 Zachariah questioned God, because of his age. Gabriel an Arc angel, told “Zachariah that, because you did not believe you shall be dumb, or mute and not able to speak until things are fulfilled in their season.” This is the season for the Black Church, so we should take full advantage of all of God’s blessings that He sets before us in this day. The Black Baptist people in the Dallas Metroplex is just like the church that had a prayer Gene Turner
www.dfwelitenews.com
meeting about the deliverance of their Pastor, The Apostle Peter. When Peter appeared they could not believe it. We are like Zachariah who questioned God because of his unbelief even after he had prayed to God for a child, and because he did not believe what the scripture said, “ Is there anything to hard for God, God sealed off his voice for a solid year. He did not recognize his answer when it came. Here we are with an answered blessing standing at our feet and we cannot recognize the fact that God has blessed us to walk into the land of Caanan. We as Baptist have been complaining, and praying about some well ordered place to have our church conventions, District meetings, State meetings, and other functions at less cost. Well, God has answered our prayers and we cannot see what He has done. The Grand Hotel is on the selling block, and God has shown me that this is an ideal blessing for His people, all we have to do is come together and buy what God has already given us money to buy. If we really wanted to do so we could buy 3 or 4 Grand Hotels. Look where it is, it is in a central location in hollowing distance of anything and everything. This Hotel would be like Jerusalem in the land of Israel. God has made this a possibility for His people of color. Prime property, Downtown, easy to find for Out of Towners. Air, bus, and rail at the front door, what a place for a Baptist Complex. Look at what comes with this property. A high-rise parking facility, the old city library on Harwood & Commerce, plus the Hotel itself. Five (5) ballrooms, Ten (10) breakout rooms, Seven Hundred-Fifty (750) sleeping rooms. What more can God do. Our money is just as green as anyone else’s is and if that’s not enoughany Bank in America will loan at least $15,000,000.00 against this property. Black Baptist leaders do not let God’s blessing to you go invain, lets at least try and own something, somewhere, sometime, this is it believe me, I know what I am saying. Remember the prayer meeting at Mrs. Mary’s house; remember Zachariah’s questioning of God’s blessing to come. Let us not believe God’s visible blessing in front of us. 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.

No Shortcuts Psalm 1:1-3 “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His Law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by Geraldine streams of water, Davidson-Hooker which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.”
M
any times we see what appears to be a shorter route, and we leave His path. These perceived shortcuts are filled with weeds that entangle us and slow our walk with Christ to a pathetic crawl; “But the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful” (Matthew 13:22). All our time spent away from God’s path clearly hinders our relationship and diminishes our ability to produce anything of lasting value for the Lord. To remain on God’s path and continue to bear good and lasting fruit, we must be wise regarding the counsel we seek. Many people willingly give advice on following a “successful” path and yet ridicule any path directed by God. This counsel must be avoided since the very definition of success is in error! A truly successful path IS the path directed by God!! Staying free of the weeds requires an active pursuit of God; “on His Law he meditates day and night.” If we do not consume ourselves with the ways of God, we will, by default, become consumed by the ways of the world. Jesus made a similar statement to His disciples: “I am the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit” (John 15:5). Remaining in the vine is a process of clinging to Christ and loving Him with ALL our heart. Our life then becomes defined and consumed by the life of the vine. As we allow God’s Word to flow through our life - as we become planted by the stream of His water - we develop deep roots. These roots become a solid anchor which will not be pulled up during the storm nor dragged along by the swift currents of temptation. God’s path is perfect and His burden is light; but remaining on His path and staying free of weeds requires commitment, perseverance, discipline...and a strong reminder that there are nO shortcuts!

Notes From Union Hope
O
u r church School lesson was “God is Victorious” Joshua 6:2-3, 4b, 12-20b. God spoke to Joshua assuring him that He had given him Jericho, its Eld lloyd T. Morgan king and all of his strong warriors. God’s statement made it clear that the battle really was not Joshua it was the Lord’s. Believers should be encouraged to know that the Lord always goes ahead of us in all situations to secure for us the victory. God’s battle plan did not make sense according to the human idea of battle strategy. Marching around the city for six days would not be impressive to the military mind, but God wanted to make sure that Israel understood that the victory belonged to him. In the life of every believer God establishes the fact that “without me you can do nothing.” Israel followed God’s orders and on the
seventh day after marching around the wall seven times, the Priest blew the Horns and the people shouted and the walls fell down. Only Rahab the prostitute who hid the spies and her family that was in the house with her was spared. Because this was his battle he instructed them not to take the Gold and silver bronze and Iron for themselves it belonged to Him. The Morning message was delivered by our Guest Minister Rev. George M. Barker from the subject “Backsliding Heifer” Hosea 4: 15-17 we were blessed by the message. Sunday we celebrated our pastor and wife’s 25th anniversary. Our guest churches were Shady Grove Primitive Baptist church where Eld. Michael Morgan Sr. serves as pastor and Grace Temple Fellowship Baptist church where Rev. Keith Hall is pastor. The Anniversary message was delivered by Eld. Michael Morgan who blessed us with a dynamic message. He preached from the theme: “Lifting up Our Pastor and Wife, Our gift from God”Eph.4:1112. May God Bless you real good

have shared recently with you, concerning the initial steps to successful prayer. They are; to feed on the word of God, to adore God for who he is, to thank Him for what Pastor Clarence Henderson he has done, to confess our sins to him and to recognize our helplessness and accept His strength and will. However, there is another step and that is “Praying for others”. It’s easy for us to think only of ourselves and those within our own little group. But Paul and Moses were not that way. They cared so much about others that they would have allowed themselves to be cut off from God if it meant others would be saved, (see Romans 9:1-3 and Exodus 32:30-36). Just as dry and wilted flowers revive when rain comes, tired and discouraged saints rejoice when they know someone is praying for them.

ur Sunday school titled, “God Is Victorious” Joshua 6: 2-3, 4b and 12-20b, the lesson high points were, “God brings victory in our Johnny King lives, we have can have confident in God’s instruction and we can praise God for all He has done.” Dr. Johnny King delivered the morning message titled, “Faith leads to maturity“ Galatians 4: 1-11. The church celebrated our Shepherd 17th anniversary this Sunday, Pastor C. W. Pruitt and Mt Pisgah Baptist Church from Ladonia, Texas were our guest, Pastor Pruite delivered the annual day message titled, “Setting on Top off the World” 2 Corinthians 4: 13 Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken.

ndependence Day, more commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the united States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July, 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain. The Thirteen colonies under British rule, decided that it was time to declare their independence; their freedom the Kingdom of Great Britain. The definition of freedom for the framers of our constitution meant they could establish their own laws; elect their own leaders and representatives. As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day or as it is more commonly known as the 4th of July, the question always comes to mind what does independence and or freedom mean? For a lot of our readers, Independence Day – Fourth of July means gatherings on Saturday or Monday depending on which day you choose to observe it, with

family and friends, eating BBQ, drinking sodas or a beverage of their choice, sharing memories, kicking back and relaxing, taking a vacation , sleeping late and just enjoying the day off. But what does Independence Day really mean? I don’t believe the framers of the constitution could have imagined the strides we have made today. Surely they could not have imagined the amazing advances we’ve made in transportation – railroads, huge ships, the automobile, jet airplanes, space vehicles that put Americans on the moon and explored planets far beyond the earth. Communication has advanced greatly! no pony express! The telegraph has been replaced with computers and telephones which allow us to communicate with people and places across the globe with the touch of a button! Slavery has been abolished, even though it happened 87 years later when then President Abraham Lincoln drafted the infamous Emancipation Proclamation. (It took almost 2 years for the people of Texas to get the news).
STUDENT OF THE WEEK
School:
Happy Independence Day By Lola Searcy
caleNdaR/sTudeNT Of The week
On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was signed into law allowing Women the right to vote; and her place moved from the home to the board rooms; to the White House! The Civil Rights Movement began in the mid 1950’s and as a result of the efforts, labor and sacrifices of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ms. Rosa Parks, and other civil rights activists, African Americans have the right to vote and on november 4th 2008, we elected our first African American President of these united States. “ It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward and forever more”, said John Adams one of the framers of the Constitution and the second President of the united States. So, when you’re out and about celebrating Independence Day – Fourth of July take some time to reflect on what this day really means.

CrossOver Theatre Company a bridge of tomorrow’s Art and Culture Special to Elite News
T
heatre companies come and go, especially in the DFW Metroplex. This phenomenon is being tested as there is a new theatre company in town, the CrossOver Theatre Company; a 501c3 Actors Equity start up organization housed at the Corner Theatre in Desoto, Texas. The company is in its Inaugural Season opening with the hit 60’s musical BeeHive; featuring a host of local talent and an incredible guest artist Mrs. Jacqui Cross of Austin Texas. Artistic Director William (Bill) Earl Ray,(Rockdale, Texas), Director of the Board; President Gil Pritchett, a Dallas native returning home after a long stay in new york City and around the globe, and Mrs. Renay Hardy of Phoenix Arizona now a resident of Desoto Texas. We are working together to create an extraordinary collage of local theatre and theatre education. In the words of Lloyd Richards: “Anyone who is really working creatively in the realm of ideas, as theatre should be, is a threat to those who attempt to keep things in control”. CrossOver Theatre Company is
unique in that it is rooted in the grassroots efforts of home grown talent and entrepreneurial ambitions. It is designed to create jobs, develop and produce educational programs to train writers, directors, designers, technicians, local talent, patrons and theatre goers of tomorrow one show at a time. We at Crossover believe it is important that we keep theatre alive in our communities. Theatre and the creative arts can revive life as we know it, allow for new growth, expression of ideas for the future and entrepreneurial opportunities for those who partake in it. It is equally important that we train and educate our children the skill of self expression and encourage them to take a stand for the art of creating. This skill is a life line to those who may have no other voice to speak on their behalf. So we seek to inspire those who know the importance and the necessity of keeping theatre and the creative process living. As with any startup company; CrossOver is in need of your prayers, monetary and voluntary support to keep
the doors open. We need Angel support and we need it now. We are vastly approaching our opening night and ask that you support the CrossOver Theatre Company by submitting donations and or pledge support (8528 Davis Blvd, Suite 134-357; north Richland Hills, TX 76182). Beehive will be on stage July 8th through July 31st; at the Corner Theatre 211 E Pleasant Run

t’s been two years since the Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, left us so suddenly. He produced music to dance by, music to live by, and music to cry by, and it continues to be the standard by which other artists are measured. It’s also the best form of flattery and respect when others want to copy the works that you have done. I have been a Michael Jackson fan as long as I can remember. I grew up with Michael and I am familiar with just about all of his music. But as I tuned in and listened to 94.5 FM this past weekend, as they honored Michael Jackson, my level of respect went to an even higher level for Michael Jackson for all that he did. not only was he a great musician, singer, performer and overall artist, but he was a great humanitarian. Big “ups” to 94.5 FM and the Radio
