10-digit dialing for 660 area code soon In July 2020, the Federal Communications Commission adopted an order approving the designation of 988 as the 3-digit dialing code to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. To facilitate implementation, area codes in 37 states where the 988 prefix is a working prefix, and which now use 7-digit local dialing must switch to 10-digit local

dialing. This includes our 660area code. These 10-digit local calls will not be subject to long distance fees.

Beginning April 21, 2021, you should start dialing 10-digits for all local calls — the 660-area code PLUS the 7-digit phone number.

If you forget to do so during this transition period, your calls will still be completed.

Starting Oct. 24 you will be required to dial all 10-digits when making a local call. Failure to do so will prompt a recording, reminding you to redial using 10 digits. In addition to changing your dialing routine, you will also have to reprogram 7-digit local numbers to 10-digit numbers in any device that automatically makes calls for you, including: ► Speed dial feature on a phone ► Home security equipment ► Personal emergency response

‘The Dandelion’ blooms in Gallatin

The Daviess County Courthouse is getting a $150,000 facelift. Karr Tuckpointing from Vinton, IA, has contracted to clean, tuckpoint and seal the outside of the building. Decorative stucco and windows are also being resealed. The work will take approximately two weeks to complete, the ending date depending on the weather.

Jessica Holcomb and her husband Tony, with her family, have worked tirelessly the past couple of months to prepare for their family-owned business, a flower shop called “The Dandelion.”

A lot of long hours have been put in to get the shop ready to open on April 1.

The flower shop will be located at 708 South Main Street in Gallatin.

Jessica’s nephew Slade inspired the name “The Dandelion.” Dandelions are almost always the first flower a child picks to give away.

The Dandelion will have more than just fresh floral arrangements, though.

They will also sell silk arrangements, hand painted signs, candles, custom-made mesh wreathes, all natural soaps, primitive furniture, antiques and other various home decors. They will also be offering women’s clothing by Perkins Imprints.

The Dandelion will be able to specialize floral arrangements for funerals, corsages, mother’s day gifts, Valentine’s, etc., and will offer delivery to customers located in the Daviess County area.

“I’ve always just had a love of flowers,” Holcomb said.

“My step-mom always loved to plant flowers. It started with outdoor flowers and just went from there.”

Holcomb states that the past 16 years working at Gallatin Publishing Company has given her the confidence and knowledge needed to go forward with opening her own business.

“I started at the newspaper in 2005,” Holcomb said. “My experience there has definitely given me the business sense.”

Business hours will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 noon; The Dandelion will be closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Easter’s meaning

What do Easter eggs mean to you?

A Roman legend says that Mary, the mother of Jesus, brought a basket of eggs to the soldiers who were standing guard on Mount Calvary, hoping to arouse pity for the suffering Jesus. The soldiers left the gift beneath the cross – untouched. After a while according to the legend, Christ’s blood dropped down and colored all the eggs scarlet.

That is why Romanians exchange only red eggs at Easter. They are believed to be potent charms.

Different countries had their own way of associating the egg to Easter. Games played with colored eggs have a long history. The first written mention of egg-rolling in Britain was in 1684. Eggs are rolled on grassy slopes and the last child to break his egg is the winner.

It’s still a popular Easter game in England and Scotland. Easter was not widely celebrated in the United States until after the Civil War, when its observance became an occasion to honor the war dead.

Egg-rolling on the White House lawn was introduced in 1877 in

by Darryl Wilkinson President Hayes’ administration.

I once read a young mother’s viewpoint: “I love Easter morning.

It’s the only time my children look below their knees and actually bend over to pick something up.”

During childhood my household subscribed to a kids’ magazine called “Highlights.” It featured Easter activities for kids. Perspectives change when you become a parent. Under the “Fast, Easy and Fun” section, there undoubtedly was a suggestion to fill plastic eggs with special messages and jellybeans.

The mental picture was a smiling family, joyously ripping open plastic eggs and reading tiny, uplifting messages.

Suggested messages read like “You are bright!” and “Always do your best.” It was perfect …when what a parent really wants to write is more like “Use your own toothbrush” and “Don’t spit on your sister.”

No matter. Every tadpole I know grabs the egg, opens it, tosses the message on the floor, and pops the jellybeans into his or her mouth.

Unless it’s a 3-year-old. In that case, she’s chewing the paper while

Bills moving Missourians forward

By State Sen. Dan Hegeman

As we begin the second half of the 2021 legislative session, my colleagues and I approved important legislation this week designed to move our state forward.

This was an incredibly tall order and was only made possible thanks to a lot of people getting together and working through their differences on these critical

Allowing weapons on public transit raises concerns

OATS Transit is closely watching proposed state legislation that, if passed, would allow concealedcarry permit holders to lawfully bring firearms on public transportation. It raises serious concerns not only for the safety on our buses but also our funding as a private, non-profit transportation provider.

According to the Missouri Public Transit Association, there is no evidence that allowing concealed-carry permit holders to have firearms on transit improves safety and security. The closequarter transit environment is absolutely unique.

There is an unacceptable risk that someone could be harmed if a gun is fired or discharged accidently on transit vehicles. I cannot recall an issue on one of our buses that would have been resolved with a firearm.

Beyond the safety issue, this also poses a major fiscal concern. Because OATS Transit receives federal funding through MoDOT for general public

service, we would have to adhere to this new law.

Yet, the majority of our users are individuals with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and senior citizens. Most of these individuals ride under funding grants that expressly prohibit firearms on our buses including the state’s own regulations for transportation service for these individuals.

We use many of these private contracts to match federal, general public funds. If this legislation passes and we are required to allow firearms on our vehicles, this would jeopardize our private contracts. If we lose them, the local match required for the federal funds would be reduced thereby decreasing our entire operating budget.

This is a complicated issue that could have unintended consequences and I urge legislators to think this through more carefully.

Dorothy Yeager, Exec. Director of OATS Transit Past President of the MO Public Transit Assn.

Proposed budget cuts will cause people with disabilities to lose services

In response to two proposed budget cuts to the Consumer Directed Services program, Access II Independent Living Center in Gallatin is joining with other centers for Independent living in the state to denounce these cuts.

The Consumer Directed Services (CDS) program allows eligible individuals with disabilities to control their own personal care and remain independent in their own homes. This Medicaid program serves over 40,000 Missourians with significant disabilities and Access II has served 130 people on this program in the last year.

During this current legislative session, Gov. Parson has made two recommendations to cut this program by millions of dollars. The proposed cuts are coming at a time during the pandemic when healthcare is of the utmost importance, and also at a time when the state is seeing unprecedented funds streaming into the state for the very purpose of helping Missourians remain safe and healthy in their own homes.

Tonya Arndt, a 34-year-old college graduate who resides in Trenton, is very concerned about the proposed budget cuts and how it will impact her daily life. “These types of budget cuts force people like myself into long-term care facilities which not only strip the individual of all their independence, but also the ability to work, and any chance of having a healthy, active social life,” said Arndt. “Facilities also cost the state more money to provide the same services.”

Tonya became a quadriplegic at age 17. Tonya works in her local community and pays a premium to the state of Missouri that allows her to maintain the assistance of her personal care attendants.

“CDS allows me to live in my own home and maintain the independence to choose who and when

someone comes in to assist me with my care,” said Arndt. “This allows me to work, be actively involved in my community, and spend time with my friends and family. Being forced out of our homes where we can’t even decide who helps us bathe, or when or what we eat, should not be an option when programs like CDS exist and work effectively.”

According to the Covid Tracking Project, less than 1% of America’s population lives in long-termcare facilities, but as of March 4, this tiny fraction of the country accounts for 34% of COVID-19 deaths.

“This past year communicable diseases within facility living have jeopardized the health and safety of many of our elderly, and people with disabilities who were forced to live in Institutions,” said Heather Swymeler, Access II Executive Director.

“CDS allows a more affordable and safe option.”

It will be challenging for Access II and other Centers for Independent Living to provide these vital services with the proposed cuts.

“I am frustrated and outraged that the proposed cuts demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the importance CDS plays in the lives of people with disabilities. Jeopardizing peoples’ option to continue living in their own homes when the State is experiencing a positive budget is embarrassing,” said Jim Ruedin, Executive Director of Delta Center in St. Peters.

Access II is urging Missouri state legislators to step up and prevent these cuts from taking place.

Missourians with disabilities deserve to have these necessary services so they can remain in their own homes.

pieces of legislation.

Senate Bill 91 would protect children from registered sex offenders. This legislation seeks to prohibit sex offenders from being present or loitering within 500 feet of athletic complexes or facilities that exist primarily for use by children, or a Missouri Department of Conservation nature or education center property.

Senate Bill 119 addresses caller I.D. spoofing. This is when a caller deliberately provides false caller ID information to deceive call recipients. Senate Bill 119 would make caller I.D. spoofing a class E felony.

Senate Bill 53 & 60 is a police reform bill, one of our priority measures for the year. This proposal would expand the pool of qualified applicants allowed to work for the Kansas City Police

Department by removing existing police officer residency requirements.

Officers could live within 30 miles of the city limits of Kansas City, but only in Missouri.

SB 53 also would ensure individuals who provide tips to any Crime Stoppers organization would not be required to testify on, or produce records of, their confidential communication.

Senate Bill 53 would also ban all Missouri police officers from using respiratory chokeholds, unless deadly force is authorized under existing state law. This includes using any body part or object to apply pressure to a person’s neck in order to control or restrict their ability to breathe.

All three of these bills have passed through the Missouri Senate and are now in the Missouri House of Representatives.

House proposal would slow voter-approved minimum wage

by Taylor Freeman, Missouri News Network

Missouri lawmakers are considering a bill that would overturn a voter-approved minimum wage increase plan after only its third year in action.

The Special Committee on Small Business has heard House Bill 726. The bill proposes slowing the schedule for increasing the minimum wage, delaying it by several years.

“Higher minimum wage jobs actually eliminate jobs that are intended for people entering the workforce with minimal work skills,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Cody Smith (R-Carthage).

“We oftentimes conflate minimum wage with living wage, and in my opinion, minimum wage was never intended to be a living wage.”

In 2018, Missouri voters supported Proposition B, which specified a five-year plan start-

ing Jan. 1, 2019, that would increase the minimum wage by about 85 cents each year until it reaches $12 an hour in 2023.

Currently, Missouri’s minimum wage is $10.30 an hour.

Smith initially wanted to tie the state’s minimum wage to the federal level, which is $7.25 A compromise would instead delay the rising minimum wage by freezing it for three years.

Meaning that for 2021 through 2023 the rate would remain at $10.30 an hour. Then in 2024, the rate would increase by 85 cents to $11.15 and remain there through 2025.

The final 85-cent increase in 2026 would then achieve the voter approved $12 an hour goal.

Come 2027 the state’s minimum wage would then be assessed using the consumer price index, a measure that examines fluctuations in average prices of (continued on page 3)

As regulations vanish...

Livingston County becomes ‘ground zero’ for farm debate

by Mallory Daily, Missouri News Network

In January 2020, a pork corporation came knocking in Livingston County. United Hog Systems notified nearby landowners that they were filing an application for a 5,700-hog operation.

It was the first permit for a concentrated animal feeding operation, also known as a CAFO, issued for the Northwest Missouri county in more than two decades.

The timing was no accident.

State lawmakers had recently passed legislation that would wipe a 1997 county ordinance off the books that allowed local officials to regulate such operations and the millions of gallons of waste they produce.

When the Missouri Department of Natural Resources approved the United Hog permit in May of 2020, local residents banded together to file an appeal.

They named themselves Poosey Neighbors United after their beloved nearby Poosey Conservation area. In addition to the list of common concerns raised when huge animal feeding operations move in nearby, they feared that mismanagement of the CAFO’s hog manure would compromise water quality in Poosey’s fishing lakes and perhaps even their own water supply.

A few months later, the state struck another blow. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources proposed a change to the regulatory definition of the groundwater table as it concerns CAFO designs. The change would exclude a form of groundwater called “perched water,” which may be present on the proposed CAFO site.

“These rollbacks have been systematic,” said Susan Fair, a Livingston County resident advocating for stricter CAFO regulations. “And this won’t be the last of it.”

As industrial agriculture moved into the state in the 1990s, a handful of counties saw the need to create local regulations for CAFOs.

Livingston County was one of the earliest to pass such an ordinance, in 1997. Since then, a total of 20 counties have put similar health ordinances in place, though enforcement is varied.

“There was just an awful lot of things that DNR addressed that we thought needed to be stronger,” said Eva Danner Horton, former presiding commissioner in Livingston County.

Danner Horton was among the team of elected officials who drafted and signed the original ordinance and later revised it in 2009. She said it was never the intention of the commission to keep CAFOs out completely.

“The intent was to make them good neighbors,” Danner Horton said.

Compared to statewide regulations, the Livingston County ordinance provides stronger setback distances between CAFOs and residences. It also outlines the option for the commission to enforce groundwater and emissions monitoring. CAFO operators are required to furnish a surety bond between $15,000 and $100,000 to the county treasurer for manure storage systems to cover any future liability. Additionally, before the permit is approved, the county is required to hold a local public hearing.

In 2019, Senate Bill 391 passed, preempting local health ordinances like the one in Livingston County that are more stringent than statewide regulations. The law is being challenged in court by a small group of counties and concerned citizens, who are hoping, at the very least, that their local ordinances will be grandfathered in. Livingston County Presiding Commissioner Ed Douglas said he is glad to see the lawsuit but didn’t feel the need to join it.

As residents await the judgment, they face the reality of having little control.

Editor’s note: This report is one of many written by Missouri School of Journalism students and editors for publication by newspaper members of the Missouri Press Association.

Minimum wage debate (continued from page 2) consumer goods and services.

Of the eight states bordering Missouri, only Arkansas and Illinois have higher minimum wages, both at $11. This puts Missouri on track to have the highest minimum wage in the Midwest by 2022, barring increases in the bordering states or changes to the current plan.

Smith said the bill is needed to undo harmful unintended consequences faced by Missouri business owners who say they are struggling to balance their profit margins with the rising cost of labor.

The lawmakers have the power to overturn the will of the voters because Proposition B was a statute and not a constitutional amendment, Smith said. A few lawmakers on the committee pointed out how HB 726 is a subversion of the will of Missouri voters and said that rising wages are needed.

Smith said that wages are rising faster than some employers can afford and the higher floor created by the minimum wage increase is driving that.

Rep. Steve Butz (D-St. Louis), refuted that claim, saying that

the driving factor is instead the “tight labor market.” “If you want good employees, you have to pay,” Butz said.

“I live in a very rural area, and I’m really fed up with one-sizefits-all laws, because they kill rural Missouri,” said Rep. Danny Busick (R-Newtown).

Busick said the cost of living in some parts of Missouri is higher than in others but the minimum wage is increasing everywhere.

Rep. Neil Smith (D-St. Louis) spoke once during the proceedings on the bill to question a representative from CoxHealth at Home who was testifying in support of the bill.

“I just have one question, and anybody else who comes up to speak, I want you to think of this question, please: Which of these employees doesn’t deserve $12?”

After moments of no response, he continued, “These people have bills they need to pay. It takes two or three incomes when you’re making minimum wage to stay in an apartment.”

Aldermen select cemetery mowing bid, approve city hall phone service change A review of the service agreement with Windstream for telephone service at Gallatin City Hall was discussed at the March 22 Gallatin aldermen’s meeting.

Administrator Lance Rains stated that upgrading the phone service will be a significant cost savings for the city. The monthly recurring charges will be $139.65. The aldermen approved the amended expense continuing Windstream service.

The aldermen voted to accept Mike Walker’s total bid of $675 for 2021 cemetery mowing; Alderman Carol Walker removed herself from the board room during discussion and vote. Mayor Ballew opened the cemetery mowing bids as follows: Rodell Sperry — Lile $90 and Brown & Greenwood $885 for a $975 total; Down to Earth Lawn Care — Lile $170 and Brown & Greenwood $550 for a $720 total; Legendary Lawn Care — Lile $165 and Brown & Greenwood $675 for a total $840; Mike Walker — Lile $75 and Brown & Greenwood $600 for a $675 total.

Administrator Lance Rains will be contacting Rapid Removal to schedule the spring roadside bulk pickup.

City work crews recently repaired a water main break above a sewer line in the alley behind

the pool hall. Additionally, crews also repaired 15 feet of the sewer line in the same area and installed two cleanouts going in both directions to help any future sewer issues.

Crews also repaired the sewer line that is located behind the County Road & Bridge Building on Clay Street. The issue was caused by a broken cleanout.

However, another section of the sewer line will need to be dug up due to a brick being lodged further down the line.

Public Works Director Mark Morey has one bid so far for cleaning out the old water plant backwash basin and is expecting a few more bids to be turned in.

The base station for the AMI metering system that will be installed on the water tower has been delivered. Morey is meeting with the AMI metering team this week to review the planned installation of the base station.

The GIS mapping equipment has been delivered and crews have already been able to start adding GPS locates to hydrants, cleanouts, and other utilities services. Mr. Morey updated the board on what has already been located and how the points are located utilizing the GIS tower and tablet.

Spike: Easter’s meaning carrying her basket containing popcorn kernels, two unmatched pieces of plastic egg, and a wad of fuzzy, used chewing gum.

Still, it’s creating memories.

Perhaps some day an older sibling will notice the slip of paper about to enter the little one’s mouth and declare, “Hey – that’s not for eating. It’s for keeping!”

What a proud moment that would be for a young parent as they pry open the little one’s jaw using fingers to fish the paper out, especially if the Easter message penned by a caring parent says “I love you.” This is exactly the right message of Easter: Love. It’s the real meaning of Easter which radiates forever and ever from Jesus hanging on the cross.

(continued from page 2)

We tend to mess up Easter’s love message by experimenting with all sorts of things, some things so good the effort evolves and repeats into a family tradition. Maybe some other Easter things we do or say are not so good. Dreams of the perfect meal or perfect family gathering sometimes fail. But if the effort is done in love, then maybe whatever the disappointment it isn’t a complete waste of time. After all, we each are flawed and fall short of the glory of our risen Savior.

That’s the Easter message, too. Above all, it’s remembering His sacrifice and praising God for His grace and love for you and me.

He is risen.

Happy, happy Easter!

Woman charged after heroin mailed to prison A woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury for smuggling heroin to an inmate at the Western Missouri Correctional Center at Cameron.

Juliane L. Colby, 43, of Shawnee, KS, was charged in a fourcount indictment returned under seal by a federal grand jury in Kansas City on March 16. The indictment was made public at Colby’s initial court appearance on March 26.

The indictment alleges Colby participated in a conspiracy from Aug. 1-10, 2019, to distribute heroin. Colby allegedly conspired with others to smuggle heroin and other contraband into the Western Missouri Correctional Center.

According to the indictment, Colby hid heroin in an envelope

marked as “legal mail” that also contained documents from a court case. The envelope was labelled with a return address for a law firm purportedly located in Harrisonville, MO, although Colby mailed it from a post office in Shawnee, KS, according to the indictment.

Colby and a conspirator at the prison allegedly had a series of phone conversations during which they used code words to discuss the plan to mail the items to the center.

In addition to drug-trafficking conspiracy, the indictment charges Colby with one count of attempting to distribute heroin and two counts of using a communication facility to commit the drug-trafficking offenses.

Pattonsburg Coach Bowland receives posthumous honor Former Pattonsburg R-2 coach Jeff Bowland was named to the 2020 Missouri Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame Class in March 2020, but the induction ceremony was canceled due to COVID. This year’s induction ceremony, which will be held in October in Springfield, will now include both the Class of 2020 and the Class of 2021. Coach Bowland was one of 10 inductees honored for 2020.

Coach Bowland, who passed away in 2013, left his mark on high school basketball in the

state of Missouri, capturing well over 600 wins while coaching both girls and boys. His tenure from 1981 to 2013 at Pattonsburg included several tournament titles, six district championships, one Final Four trip and several all-state players. He also coached football, track and softball.

Pattonsburg High School also recognized Coach Bowland’s contributions to the basketball program and community by naming the basketball court after him.

Dowell to Ag Academy Lane Dowell of Gallatin is one of 30 students in the state of Missouri chosen to participate in the 2021 Missouri Agribusiness Academy. Dowell is a sophomore at Gallatin High School, where he is an active member of the Gallatin FFA Chapter. Dowell is the son of Trent Dowell and Ida Kemper.

On June 7, the MAbA class will convene in Jefferson City.

After an overview and tour of the Missouri Department of Agriculture, the students will travel Mid-Missouri over the next several days. During the 2021 Missouri Agribusiness Academy, the students will visit agriculture businesses and learn about career opportunities in animal health, production agriculture and more. They will explore careers in agriculture, build leadership skills and learn more about farming, ranching and food production.

“Giving back to agriculture is important and we’re thrilled to contribute to the future of agriculture through MAbA,” said Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn. “I’m so proud of each of these students and the accomplishments they’ve already achieved as leaders. We hope that MAbA helps each of them add value to those skills and ultimately find their future in an agriculture career.”

Since 1988, the Missouri Agribusiness Academy has awarded more than 990 academy memberships through a competitive application and interview process for high school sophomores interested in pursuing agriculture-related college degrees and careers.

Rules relaxed for 43rd Circuit On March 26, Presiding Judge Ryan Horsman issued an administrative order to again move the courts in the 43rd Circuit to a lower degree of COVID restrictions. The relaxed restrictions go into effect on March 29. This order moves the operational level of the courts from Phase Two down to Phase Three.

The previous order, which moved courts from Phase One to Phase Two, was issued on Feb. 22. Prior to that, the courts had been operating in Phase One since November 2020.

Phase Three is authorized after certain requirements have been achieved, such as having no confirmed cases in the court facility in the past 14-day period, general improving conditions in the community as a whole, and consultation with local health officials.

Throughout Phase Three, the 43rd Circuit will follow protocols as outlined in the administrative order. This includes the resumption of in-person court proceedings that can be conducted in compliance with social distancing protocols and occupancy rate limitations. Face masks or coverings shall be required in all public court areas and during all court proceedings unless good cause is shown to limit the requirement in a particular proceeding, such as for a witness who is testifying.

Need a ride to get a shot?

There is now a free option in Northwest Missouri for people who are unable to drive to a COVID-19 vaccination center.

OATS is providing free rides for anyone who is in Northwest Missouri and outside city limits.

People are asked to book the appointment one or two days in advance by calling 816-279-3131, and OATS staff will confirm a time for pickup and return.

Jill Stedem, administrator and development director for OATS, said they are working with public health officials to accommodate people who may

be less mobile and need rides to vaccination appointments.

“We’re offering nurses to be able to come on the bus and give vaccines to those who may not be able to get off the busses easily or may have mobility needs,” Stedem said. Stedem said they will give people plenty of notice regarding their pickup time and information about the route.

“We allow for a certain window or time frame whether it be just someone coming on the bus to give the shot or if they’re going in a place where there might be multiple people,” Stedem said.

DOR submits inaccurate information In an annual report released

by State Auditor Nicole Galloway on March 24, the auditor has identified incorrect financial data submitted to the Office of Administration by the Department of Revenue.

The report stated that the Department of Revenue’s system for tracking delinquent motor vehicle sales tax does not include complete and accurate information in some cases. Additionally, procedures used by personnel to calculate accounts receivable amounts were inadequate. As a result, the Department of Revenue misstated $292 million related to delinquent motor vehicle sales tax. This affects financial reporting for several

funds throughout state government.

The errors were identified by auditors and corrected before the 2020 financial statements were finalized. The misstatements also affect the state’s 2019 financial statements, which the Office of Administration corrected. The report recommended that the department improve its processes to ensure reports related to motor vehicle sales tax accounts are accurate.

The Missouri State Auditor’s Office examines Missouri’s annual statewide financial statements and makes recommendations to ensure accurate financial reporting each year.

A Friend in the heavenly court

abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you. 1 Peter 1:3, 4.

Is there any reason why this lively hope should not give us as much confidence and joy at this time as it gave the disciples in the early church? Christ is not enclosed in Joseph's new tomb. He is risen, and has ascended up on high, and we are to act out our faith, that the world may see that we have a lively hope....

Our hope is not without foundation; our inheritance is not corruptible. It is not the subject of imagination.

We read in the Bible about the resurrection of Christ from the dead, but do we act as though we believed it? Do we believe that Jesus is a living Saviour, that He is not in Joseph's new tomb, with the great stone rolled before it, but that He has risen from the dead and ascended on high ...? He is there to plead our cases in the courts of heaven. He is there because we need a friend in the heavenly court, One who is to be our advocate and intercessor. Then let us rejoice in this. We have everything for which to praise God. Many judge of their religious state by their emotions, but these are not a safe criterion. Our Christian life does not depend upon our feelings, but upon our having a right hold from above. We must believe the words of God just as He has spoken them; we must take Christ at His word, believe that He came to represent the Father, and that the Father, as is represented in Christ, is our friend, and that He desires not that we should perish, or He would never have given His Son to die our sacrifice. The cross of Calvary is an eternal pledge to every one of us that God wants us to be happy, not only in the future life but in this life.

The death of Christ brings to the rejector of His mercy the wrath and judgments of God, unmixed with mercy. This is the wrath of the Lamb. But the death of Christ is hope and eternal life to all who receive Him and believe in Him. “In Heavenly Places” - E.G. White Paid for by Karen Reed

Teach about the Resurrection with Easter eggs Instead of filling eggs with candy and jellybeans this year, fill them with Christcentered “egg stuffers” that can help teach kids about the true meaning of Easter.

Place the following items along with the corresponding scripture reference in eleven plastic Easter eggs and place eggs in a basket or some other type of container.

Items for eggs: (1) three dimes, (2) small cup, (3) knotted string, (4) soap, (5) small piece of red fabric, (6) small toothpick cross and large nails, (7) white cloth, (8) cinnamon stick or other spice, (9) small stone, (10) folded white cloth, (11) picture of Jesus.

Have your kids remove one Easter egg at a time and read the corresponding scripture together. It's a different way to talk about the Resurrection, and it provides yet another opportunity to share your feelings of gratitude and gladness for a Savior.
