SNYDER – Seth Dixon dragged three defenders into the end zone to trigger the arms of officials to thrust skyward and ignite an explosion off the sidelines as the Hereford Whitefaces completed an improbable comeback Friday with a 34-31 overtime win over Springtown in the UIL Class 4A Bi-District playoffs. Snapping a two-game skid, the Herd notched their first playoff victory since 2010 to improve to 7-3 – the most wins in a season since 2010. The Porcupines saw their season end at 8-3. “It was unbelievable,” Hereford coach Don DeLozier said. “I am extremely proud of the way they hung in, kept swinging, dealt with adversity like they have all year
and overcame it to win. “This is massive. The first playoff win is like the first win of the season or first district win. It can be a springboard. It was huge for us to come out and win this game.” It almost looked like the Whiteface season was over when a scoreless third quarter put no dent into a 25-7 halftime deficit. Helped by three major Springtown penalties, the Herd used the final 4:42 of the third period and first 21 seconds of the fourth to drive 86 yards in 12 plays and start their comeback on a 2-yard, Dixon scoring run with 11:39 to play. After the teams swapped punts 2:1, Dixon opened the next Herd possession with a 39-yard run around PLEASE SEE RALLY | 8

HISD Ambassadors get taste of CTE By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
They say there’s nothing like hands-on experience to really cement the learning process. If that be the case, then the 2018-19 class of Hereford Independent School District (HISD) Hereford Proud Ambassadors should be well versed in the district’s Career Technology Education (CTE) wing.
Ambassadors literally got a full-blown taste of what CTE at Hereford High School has to offer during its second meeting of the school year on Nov. 5. “CTE is something that has and keeps growing in popularity among students,” HISD Superintendent Sheri Blankenship said. “It is another way the district prepares students for life after high school and in the job market.
We wish you a Happy Thanksgiving day full of joy and happiness with your families and friends. Today we just want to say thank you in appreciation of your business, trust, and loyalty with us.
Thank you from the Hereford BRAND

Now, 39 years late, the charity has garnered over $750,000 in donations to provide assistance at the Christmas season. The all-time total in donations through Dec. 31, 2017 was $757,971.50. CSF’s original founders wanted assistance raised locally to work at home, rather than being sent to boost the coffers of fundraising drives in nearby large cities that returned very little locally. Those who launched CSF in 1980 directed and administered the program for six years – through the 1985 campaign – but announced in 1986 they were abandoning the effort due to legal concerns. During 1980-85 tenure of these founders, CSF raised a total of $43,728, averaging $7,288 annually. News of the fund’s as-

sumed demise in 1986 was much ballyhooed by Amarillo broadcast media, with pronouncements that “the Grinch had stolen Christmas in Hereford.” Volunteers hastily organized to salvage CSF and the 1986 campaign. Hereford and Deaf Smith County residents sensed the urgency and responded. Local schools staged canned food drives, taking in such volumes that students built cars and pick-
ups in the hallways out of the stacked-up cases of food. Local residents also opened their wallets, and the abbreviated 1986 campaign netted a respectable $10,626. Since restructuring in 1986, CSF is administered by a committee of a dozen or more anonymous volunteers representing a cross section of the community. Committee members particularly target CSF assistance toward children and the elderly.

OPINION
Good People
It's the season when we hopefully set aside a few moments, before the lunacy of Black Friday kicks in, to remember our blessings. Perhaps no families in the world have more reason to be thankful than the twelve whose young sons were rescued from the flooded caves of Thailand six months ago. Ten thousand volunteers throughout the globe played a role in the treacherous mission that, from the outset, had tragedy written all over it. For 18 harrowing days, a team of twelve young soccer players and their coach were trapped by monsoon rains in northern Thailand. It was likely that the lost children might never be found within the sprawling network of caves known as Tham Luang. As news of the crisis spread, we paused in our mid-summer activities to offer prayers for what seemed a hopeless, horrifying situation: Boys stranded in total darkness, clinging to wet rock without food, clean water or provisions. Nine days of dread passed before a pair of British divers found the missing youngsters and their coach, a former Buddhist monk. It would require another long week of ALL IN strategic planning and Kerrie Womble Steiert coordinating before the high-risk rescue could be attempted. International specialists came together, sharing their highly-honed skills and real world experience to place the survival of a dozen children above their own welfare. One Thai diver, a retired military Seal, drowned during the operation. We are understandably drawn to the ongoing drama of real-time rescue when the odds of survival seem impossible. In an era of political discord, it’s encouraging to witness acts of selfless problemsolving, when we’re able to set aside our differences and prejudices out of concern for strangers. Why does it take a crisis to humanize our priorities? Miracles can happen when we face the insurmountable together, sharing our resources, bringing our best minds, joining in prayers of many tongues, many faiths. This summer’s crisis in Thailand is not the first time that the world has held its collective breath when lives have been imperiled. In the spring of 1970, the world was riveted to news reports concerning the fate of three Apollo 13 astronauts whose spacecraft was disabled by an exploding oxygen tank. The “Houston, we’ve got a problem” catch phrase stems from Jim Lovell’s first disclosure of the mishap to mission control. With The Odyssey command module hemorrhaging oxygen, it quickly became clear that America’s third lunar mission had become a life-anddeath emergency. A global audience of millions followed the high-stakes, four-day drama as NASA flight controllers and engineers scrambled to devise life support procedures and map a new trajectory for a dying spacecraft. The Parisian newspaper Le Monde stated, "The whole human race is participating with them in the agony of their return." The governments of Britain, France, Spain and Japan offered help in recovery operations. At the United Nations, the Soviet Union delegate said that the people of the world were hoping for the safe return of the "courageous astronauts." Everywhere, people prayed, from the Vatican to Guyana to the U.S. Congress, in churches and synagogues. Incredibly, the crew splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean after traveling 200,000 miles in a lunar module that was never intended to complete the Hail Mary mission it successfully performed. Seventeen years later, a little girl in Midland, Texas fell into an abandoned water well in her aunt’s backyard and the ensuing rescue operation transfixed the world. The story of “Baby Jessica” McClure, stuck in a narrow crevice 22 feet below the hardpacked earth of West Texas, attracted an army of reporters and television crews. For 58 hours, an international audience stayed glued to reports of the plight of the 18-month-old toddler, who spent her time underground sleeping, crying, singing songs and calling for her mother. Crews of rescue workers, mining experts and local volunteers labored around the clock to drill a parallel shaft and connecting tunnel. On the night of October 16, 1987, paramedics brought a tiny bundled and dirtcaked Baby Jessica out of the well as live television broadcast the happy ending for a massive audience. Following her rescue, the toddler was hospitalized for more than a month and lost a toe to gangrene. She and her family were flooded with gifts and cards from well-wishers. Jessica graduated from high school in 2004, married and became a mother. She works today as a teacher’s aide in the Midland school system. In 2011, at age 25, she gained access to a trust fund made up of donations from people around the world. In 2017, Jessica told People magazine that the lesson of her rescue applies decades later. “If you look hard enough,” she said, “there are so many good people in this world.” For good people and the miracles they bring, we give thanks.

Walter “Four” Price, R-Amarillo, chairman of the House Public Health Committee; and Rep. John Zerwas, R-Richmond, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Bonnen, 46, first was elected to represent House District 25 in 1997. The district includes Matagorda County and part of Brazoria County. Bonnen currently is chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee and serves as speaker pro tempore of the House. The first order of business for the House when the 86th Texas Legislature convenes on Jan. 8 is the election of the speaker, who will succeed Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio. Straus chose not to seek re-election and is finishing a record fifth consecutive term as speaker. McCall to lead transition Bonnen on Nov. 13 announced that he had named former longtime Texas House member Brian McCall, who has been chancellor of the Texas State University System since 2010, to serve as chairman of his transition team. Bonnen said McCall would assist him in recruiting senior staff, planning the swearing-in ceremony and working with outgoing Speaker Straus and his staff to facilitate a smooth transition. “I’ve known Rep. Bonnen since his first day as a House member and quickly recognized his leadership ability,” McCall said. “He possesses all of the qualities to be a successful speaker; he is a straight shooter, compassionate, principled and determined to unify the House and work constructively with the Senate and governor.” “Chancellor McCall knows the Capitol and the people who make it work. More importantly, he has a reputation as both a legislator and a higher education leader for his fairness, decency and ability to bring people together,” Bonnen said. Bonnen gets thumbs up Gov. Greg Abbott on Nov. 12 congratulated Bonnen, saying, “no one works harder or more passionately for Texas” than Bonnen. “There are a number of important and pressing issues facing Texas as we head into this next legislative session, including reforming school finance and elevating our education system and I look forward to working with the new speaker and the entire House of Representatives to address these topics and much more,” Abbott added. Also, in a joint statement released Nov. 14, Bonnen and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who presides over the state Senate, said they had a phone conversation in which they agreed to work together “to move Texas forward” in the upcoming legislative session. “The lieutenant governor and I share a strong commitment to do the people’s business,” Bonnen said. DPS expands social media The Texas Department of Public Safety on Nov. 12 announced the launch of seven regional social media accounts, covering every corner of the state and all seven DPS regions, including North Texas, Southeast Texas, South Texas, West Texas, Northwest Texas, Central Texas and the Capitol Region. “Each DPS region is unique, and we look forward to using these regional social media accounts to highlight the work of the department in those areas and bolster our ties with communities throughout Texas,” DPS Director Steven McCraw said. TEA releases district ratings The Texas Education Agency on Nov. 15 released final financial accountability ratings for the 1,200 school districts and charters across the state. Each school district or open-enrollment charter received one of four possible letter grades — A, B, C or F — and a financial management rating of Superior, Above Standard Achievement, Meets Standard or Substandard Achievement. Ninety-nine percent of the districts and charters earned a successful final rating, as measured by the School Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas, a system designed to encourage public schools to better manage financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes, the TEA said.

Wild game a foundation of early Thanksgiving feasts By Jim Steiert Contributing Writer
As the calendar rapidly dwindles away we are in that stretch of the year rife with observing festive occasions—and no, absolutely no, Black Friday does not count. Thanksgiving Day should be deeper than a culinary orgy associated with loading the table with food and shopping carts with battled-over bargains. Sadly, way too many of us forget the literal and figurative grace of the day in the rush to the TV set for football or the shopping mall after wolfing down the big meal. Seems askew given that Thanksgiving is of the busiest travel times of the year as sojourners make their way home, ostensibly for the togetherness and fellowship of family gatherings. There are still those who hold with better ways, and good for them. Amidst the appealing colors of turning leaves, ochre fields, gathered orbs of pumpkins and snappy fall apples, grains and nuts that lend texture to this time of gathering, and the fond and grounding recollection of odors of roasting turkey, gravy, dressing, and pumpkin and apple pies, it is small wonder why Thanksgiving is so appealing. If nothing else,
Indian corn and pumpkins are timeless reminders of first Thanksgiving feasts not only at Plymouth, but in the Southwest. Game meat was also vital fare. Photo by Jim Steiert our eyes and noses know. Save for a diminishing number of rural residents who still live on the land, most in America today are
far removed from agrarian roots, but there is, perhaps, still some latent sense of recognition among an aware few of an endur-
ing link to the soil and the blessed time of gathering abundance and storing away against winter-dark days of want. Based on somewhat thin historical records, there’s a good chance that fish and game were much in evidence at the Pilgrim Thanksgiving in the 1600s, though buffalo and other game was likely the fare for hail-hammered Spaniards in the party of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado when they had an observance of thanksgiving here on the Llano Estacado in 1541. While none of us were there to witness just what was eaten, the meal at the first Thanksgiving between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag at Plymouth Colony probably included wild turkeys, geese, ducks, swans, fish, lobster, and clams. The colony’s governor, William Bradford, noted in a journal that “the Wampanoag guests arrived with an offering of five deer.” Prowess in deer hunting on the part of the Wampanoag proved especially fortuitous for the early Pilgrims. Some historical probing indicates that the early day Thanksgiving celebration went on to such an extent that colonists ate into their corn seed stocks and later struggled with hard times of hunger.

closely linked with Thanksgiving based on the taking of large numbers of the big birds for the table by colonists. In fact, wild turkeys were almost decimated. It’s interesting that there are far more wild turkeys and whitetailed deer in America today than there were in the days of the Pilgrims, largely because those who hunt them have taken measures to conserve and build the resource through their hunting license fees that support habitat and wildlife management. To this day, there are hunters out there who pride themselves on their skills in putting wild turkey, venison, ducks, geese and sandhill crane on the festive table as part of traditional holiday fare.

skills of the Wampanoag, the situation could have been even worse. Since that fest was in honor of their first successful harvest, it also likely included berries, plums, grapes, cranberries, pumpkin, squash, onions, beans, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, carrots, and corn—stuff that likely would have been turned into a porridge. Many of the foods eaten during that first Thanksgiving feast have carried on to become traditional staples of our modern-day Thanksgiving dinner. The one food noticeably absent at the first Thanksgiving? Potatoes, which hadn’t yet become popular with the English. They missed out, those Plymouth partyers, on the perfect accompaniment to gravy from the turkey or the goose they were lucky enough to bag. Wild turkey, native to the area occupied by the colonists in their time, became

The week of Thanksgiving is a busy time of the year to travel that's marked by a large number of people traveling to see loved ones. In 2017, AAA projected 50.9 million Americans would journey 50 miles or more from home on Thanksgiving. While many people look forward to seeing their loved ones, the sheer volume of cars on the road during Thanksgiving week makes it a dangerous time to travel. A 2013 study examining the previous five years of data on traffic crashes in Alberta, Canada, found that long weekends have 18 percent more deadly accidents than non-holiday weekends. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Thanksgiving is the most dangerous holiday for driving. The most recent data available from NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System indicates that there were 764 crashes involving a fatality during Thanksgiving 2012. In comparison, there were 654 crashes involving a fatality during Christmas that year. This Thanksgiving, drivers should make it a point to follow these tips to ensure they get to their destinations safely and soundly. · Check the forecast before you go. Weather can be unpredictable around Thanksgiving. Conditions may be sunny one day and then cold and icy the next. Stay up-to-date on the latest weather forecasts and road conditions as you prepare for your trip,
making sensible decisions about traveling if there is inclement weather. · Get your vehicle inspected. Have your vehicle inspected in the days before you hit the road. A mechanic's diagnostic checkup and routine servicing, such as topping off fluids and changing windshield wipers, can make driving safer. · Keep your fuel tank more than half-full. FEMA suggests keeping the tank full when temperatures are extremely cold. This is because condensation can build up in near-empty gas tanks, potentially freezing fuel lines and leaving you stranded. · Opt for airline updates. Flights can be delayed or canceled when weather is poor. Many airlines will now text travelers who are subscribed to updates or frequentflyer programs and apps. That's a convenient and free bonus. · Plan for stops. Drowsy driving and distracted driving are extreme dangers across North America. Take breaks to avoid drowsiness, and only use a mobile device when safely pulled over at a rest stop. · Leave plenty of time. There are bound to be many travelers come Thanksgiving week. Build extra time into your trip so you don't have to speed or rush to make it on time. Thanksgiving is a big travel holiday. Make it to family dinner safe and full of smiles by following various safety trips during your travels.
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving We are very blessed for your business for the past 24 years Love, Dorina, Savannah, Jessica, Kashli, & Marisol

Benefits to buying local this holiday season Holiday shopping dominates many people's free time between the day after Thanksgiving and the final days before Christmas. While many people may shop 'til they drop on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, those days still account for a relatively small amount of the hundreds of billions of dollars that are spent each holiday season. Shoppers now have a bevy of options at their disposal as they embark on holiday shopping season. Traditional in-store retailers are still around, and online shopping continues to grow in popularity with each holiday season. But many holiday shoppers are looking to buy local this holiday season, and such a decision can pay a host of dividends for both shoppers and the communities they call home. Buying local benefits your local economy. Studies from Civic Economics, an economics and strategics planning firm, found that independent, locallyowned retailers return a far greater percentage of their revenue into their local economies than national chain stores. One such study examined the disparity between revenue recirculation among independent, locally-owned businesses in Raleigh, North Carolina, versus four major national chains in the city. The former recirculated 51.1 percent of revenue into the local economy, while the latter recirculated less than 14 percent. Similar results were discovered in many cities, indicating that buying local not only benefits local business owners, but also the communities those owners and their customers call home. Buying local not only benefits small business
owners, but it also pays dividends for their cus-
tomers and the communities they call home.

Next step top priority for Whitefaces at Area By John Carson BRAND Managing Editor
After a furious late comeback led to an overtime win and the first playoff victory since 2010, the Hereford Whitefaces are paying no heed to what paper may say about who lies in wait for Friday’s Area playoffs. Snapping a two-game slide Friday to improve to 7-3 with a 34-31, Bi-District overtime win over Sprintown in Snyder, the Herd faces Big Spring in the Area round Friday. Kickoff is 7 p.m. in Plainview. District 2-4A’s No. 4 seed, the Steers also needed a late rally Friday to upset Clint, 28-22, and end a fivegame losing streak to go to 4-7. “They are another tough team,” Hereford coach Don DeLozier. “You have to give them credit for being a four-seed to beat a No. 1. “They will come ready to play, and we have to be ready to play as well.” Not a completely unfamiliar foe, the Steers have

been members of the same district as the Whitefaces in the past, in addition to the two playing on semiregular basis. The last time the two met was in 2015 with the Steers coming out on top at Whiteface Stadium. Looking at the match-up based on the season, the game could appear to be a pending mismatch. The teams have played five common opponents this season – Midland Greenwood, Canyon, Du-
mas, Andrews and San Angelo Lake View. Like the Herd, two of those games were also district tilts (Andrews, Lake View). However, the results were vesting different. While both teams lost to Canyon and Dumas, the Whitefaces did so by finals of 27-17 and 24-17, respectively. The Steers failed to find paydirt in a 38-0 loss to the Eagles and 55-0 drubbing by the Demons. Big Spring lost to Andrews, 42-20, while the Herd played three quarters with the Mustangs before lightning halted the contest. Arguably the most-telling results were at the beginning season where the Steers dropped their opener, 21-12, to Midland Greenwood before the Whitefaces went to Greenwood for a 47-10 romp the next week.

2nd-half surge lifts Lady Herd From Staff Reports
A third-quarter surge and second-half comeback lifted the Hereford Lady Whitefaces to a 59-42 win over host Dalhart in non-district basketball action Saturday. The Lady Herd notched their third straight after a season-opening loss to improve to 3-1. Riding a 3-point barrage, the Lady Wolves connected on four from behind the arc to take an 18-17, first-quarter lead, then buried two more in the second frame to take a 30-28 advantage into the break. From there, the Lady Whiteface did what they needed on offense and clamped down on defense. Sam Lookingbill drained a pair of treys and the Lady Herd hit 6-of-8, third-quarter free throws to turn the halftime deficit into a 4333 lead heading into the final 8:00. Pretty much splitting her scoring between halves, Haleigh Barba led a trio of Lady Whitefaces in double figures with a game-high 16 points (9 in the first half; 8 in the second). Nayeli Acosta had a pair of 3-pointers among her 12 points, while Lori Arias added 11 that included a 7-for-7 night from the charity stripe. Lookingbill’s trio of treys accounted for her 9 points, while Taytum Stowe added 8 – including a 7-for-7 night from the charity stripe. Andrea Valenzuela and Darcy Dodd finished with 2 points each to round out the Lady Herd scoring. The Lady Whitefaces were back in action after press time Tuesday when they hosted Midland.

the Steers have scored just 88 points in the past six outings and average 20.5 points per game. “They are skilled on offense,” DeLozier said. “They have a lot of good athletes. They want to get the ball to their skill people. They are really similar to us in the stuff they run. “On defense, they want to be physical and get after you.” Defensively, the Steers have shown problems with stopping people. They have allowed 34 or more points six times and fewer than 20 only twice. During the five-game slide to end the regular season, the Steers gave up 38, 55, 42, 34 and 35 points. The Whitefaces counter with an offense that is starting to implement additional dimensions as former starting WR/DB and current QB starter Sebastian Grajeda gains experience.
Grajeda connected on 13of-25 passes last week for 2 TDs – including a go-ahead score with 24 seconds to play – as an improving passing attack takes pressure off the running game. Pulling bell-cow duty yet again, senior RB Seth Dixon churned out 149 yards last week on 32 carries that included 2 touchdowns – including the game-winner in OT – and two-point conversion run. Dixon also hooked up with Slader McCracken on a 19-yard score off a wildcat option pass in the first half. Sparked by Dixon’s 1,751 rushing yards on the season, the Whitefaces are averaging a healthy 31.6 points per game and put up 33 or more five times. Shutting down the Porcupines after a 25-point first half, the Herd defense is an ever-emerging force that surrenders just 16.2 points per game. “We just need to keep our eyes on taking the next step and do the things we need to do to win,” DeLozier said.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS This is the last article for this year….and we will not continue the series next year. It has been a pleasure sharing God’s word with you.
God, to those who believe in His name; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”.
Hebrews 9:27-28 reads: “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgement, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation”.
We know that Christ said “unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God”. John 3:5. This birth is spiritual, and it comes about as we hear and obey the gospel message. I Corinthians 4:15, Peter 1:22-23. And this birth is described in Romans 6:3-8 and Colossians2: 12-13.
It seems to me that most everyone knows that time as we know it will end, and that Christ will appear at the end of time. And the bible tells us that not all will have died when he appears. “Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, be we shall all be changed – in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed”. I Corinthians 15:51-52. You can read a similar statement in I Thessalonians 4: 13-17. What will happen when all mankind appears before the judgement seat of Christ? Romans 14:-11-2 reads “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then each of us shall give an account of himself to God”. A similar statement appears in II Corinthians 5:10: “For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad”. Finally, regarding the end of time, you should read what Christ said about two eternal destinations in Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 and Matthew 25: 31-46. Let’s be clear – if we are to be saved, it is because of the grace of God, ie God made provision for man to have forgiveness of sins. This was foretold in Jeremiah 31:31-34. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ (John 1:17). Christ shed his blood on the cross so that we might have the possibility of forgiveness of our sins (Matt 26:28; I Peter 1:18-19). Why was the shedding of his blood necessary? Read Leviticus 17:11 and Hebrews 9:22. But, what about truth? How can we be sure that what we read in the bible is truth. These words came to us through Christ (John 12:49-50) and were recorded by His apostles. We can be certain of their accuracy by what we are told in John 16:13. And in John 17:20, Christ prayed “for those who will believe in Me through their word”. THIS INCLUDES US! Finally, Christ Himself said “Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth”. John 17:17 If we listen to any other message than what is found in God’s word, then we may have to explain our decision on the day of judgement. I have heard it taught that if one believes in Jesus Christ, they are born again. But scripture says it a little different. John 1:12-13 says “but as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of
Although many disagree, scripture is clear that baptism is the point in time that we receive forgiveness of our sins. Acts 2: 36-47. But what about faith? Doesn’t the bible say that we are justified by faith? Yes it does and we agree. “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God”. Romans 5: 1-2 Long before the Law of Moses, In Genesis 22, we read the story of Abraham and Isaac. Isaac was the son God had promised to Abraham, through whom he would have many descendants, and through his seed, all the nations of the earth would be blessed. In this chapter, God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, and Abraham carried through to the point when he had his knife ready to strike Isaac. God stopped him, and he knew that Abraham believed because he obeyed his voice. Genesis 22:18 In James Chapter 2, we can read more about this. Verse 22 reads “Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect”. It is the same with us today. Just as Abraham made his faith perfect by obeying the commandments and statutes of God, so must we do today to make our faith perfect. Hebrews 5:8-9 tells us this: “though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him. “Thus also, faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead”. James 2:17. Our obedience to God’s word helps us to understand how we have access by faith into this grace, which comes to us through Jesus Christ. The beautiful part about this is that God has provided everything we need to have salvation. He sent his son to die for our sins, and he gave us his word – through which we learn about salvation and how we must live day to day. He tells us things we should do, and things we should not do. We still won’t be perfect, without sin; but if we do our best to walk in the light as He is in the light, His blood continues to cleanse our sins. I John 1:7. JOHN SUBLETT 806-344-7147

Merry “stuff”mas…..America is by far the wealthiest country in the world. We have been given so much. How do we bless our children without ruining them? What does the Bible say about possessions? Do we have the things or do the things have us? Pastor Ted’s sermon will be on treasures and our hearts. What kingdom are you building – one here on earth or one in heaven? Hopefully, this will be very fitting after Black Friday. Our hearts are full this Thanksgiving season. We have the joy of friendships and family. Our greatest joy is found in Christ. Our salvation is the greatest gift we will ever receive. May we truly be thankful for His presence in our lives. We have Angel Tree children’s names that we are attempting to get people to purchase gifts for. These children have parents that are incarcerated and unable to provide for their families. Angel Tree is a Prison Fellowship in a nationwide ministry that reaches inmates by blessing their children at Christmas. We seek to get one needed clothing item and one toy per child. If you would like to purchase a gift for a child, please call Maria a the church office 364-8303. The church office will be closed this Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving.

A slow start doomed the Whitefaces in the boys game as they were looking up from the lower side of the tally all night in a 94-78 loss to Wolves. Rodney Durles scored 12 points and Zach Rasalon had 9 as Dalhart raced to a 30-5 lead after the first quarter on the way to a 51-28 bulge at the half. The Herd was able to trim the deficit in the second half, but could never threaten in falling to 1-1 on the young season. Haz Castaneda knocked down 5 3-point-
ers to lead the Whitefaces with 25 points, while Erik Baca put down 14 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter. Chris Ball added 9 points for the Herd, while Blake Walker chipped in 8. Kaleb Larra put 6 in the scorebook as Tanner Frische and Tony Valle scored 4 points each. Derek Bravo rounded out Herd scoring with 3 points. The Whitefaces were on the road Tuesday after press time when they visited Lubbock High. They stay on the road for a noon Saturday tip against Snyder in Idalou before returning home Tuesday to face Plainview. Tip for Tuesday’s game is 7:30 p.m.
