One of the weakest statements a person can make includes the very strong word "judgment."

Typically, it's either uttered, or increasingly in this day and age, tapped out via e-mail or instant message, by people pretending not to judge you (but you know they are.)

That, or it's uttered by someone who has all but tapped out for a time and informs you that you are free to judge them.

I once worked with an outstanding journalist who one morning walked into the office looking like a million bucks, sat down at her desk, flipped open her laptop, reached into her bottom right draw and pulled out a glass and bottle of Moscato. She poured herself a drink and without even looking over her pretty blond-tressed shoulder tossed a brassy, "you can judge me" out of the side of her mouth in my direction.

Less than a year later she was dead by the same hand that poured that drink.

Last month, Lamar Odom, an outstanding basketball player, almost died.

RED CROSS ENCOURAGES BLOOD DONATIONS THROUGH HOLIDAYS

The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood throughout the holiday season.

Donors with all blood types are needed, and especially those with types O negative, B negative, A negative and AB blood. To make an appointment to donate blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores, visitredcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767).

PENALTY FEE FOR NOT HAVING HEALTH INSURANCE INCREASES THIS YEAR Crossroads Community Hospital will again help area residents learn about and enroll in health insurance options on the Health Insurance Marketplace.

Open enrollment for health coverage is from Nov. 1, 2015 to Jan. 31, 2016.

As part of the Affordable Care Act, most U.S. citizens were required to have health insurance beginning in 2014. Since the passage of the ACA five years ago, about 16.4 million uninsured people have gained health coverage. Yet, approximately 30 million Americans remain uninsured.

“As a primary health provider in Southern Illinois, our goal is to help educate residents in an easy-to-understand way, as well as assist those who haven’t yet signed up for he a lt h insurance or Medicaid, if qualified,” said Finny Mathew, CEO. “During the next few months, we’ll be out in the community and meeting one-on-one to help these individuals find affordable coverage.”

health insurance coverage.

Depending on household income, some individuals may qualify for government financial assistance– or subsidies – towards the cost of the premium and other financial obligations like co-pays or deductibles.

All health plans on the Marketplace must offer a comprehensive set of benefits, and coverage cannot be denied for individuals with a pre-existing health condition. Some of the health benefits include free preventive care and wellness services, doctor visits, prescription drugs, hospital and emergency department care, lab services, pediatric services – and more.

The penalty fee for not having insurance has increased this year. If you can afford health insurance coverage in 2016, but don’t sign up, you may have to pay a penalty ($695 per adult, $347.50 per child – up to $2,085/family or 2.5% of family income, whichever is higher). You will have to pay the fee on the federal income tax return you file. And, without insurance, you will be finanHealth Plans on Health cially responsible for all of Insurance Marketplaces your medical costs.

The Health Insurance “This is where Marketplace provides U.S. Crossroads can assist,” said citizens access to affordable Mathew. “With many

people not having access to a computer or having difficulty maneuvering on the government website, our application counselors can help individuals and their families evaluate the health plan options and determine if they are eligible for Medicaid or other financial assistance. We’ll also help with re-enrollment.”

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources.

Though a major function of www.healthcare.gov is assessing whether individuals and families qualify for financial assistance to lower the cost of health insurance, Crossroads Community Hospital application counselors can perform the same analysis and help with enrollment and re-enrollment. To make an appointment to meet with an application counselor, call 618-2418584 “Crossroads Community Hospital is committed to improving the health of the communities we serve by helping residents gain access to healthcare services,” said Mathew.

Last Friday on MSNBC Rachel Maddow hosted a Democratic presidential candidates forum, a real love fest, as a good friend of mine put it!

Participants were Martin O'Malley, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. I found it to be an interesting and staged performance — and I do mean performance. It was exactly as I expected.

After all, Ms. Maddow was in charge.

Up next, Ben Carson and the liberal media attack on Carson as well as the other outsiders.

With the elections less than one year out and Carson's rise in the polls, he's now become a threat.

Do I believe he's created some problems for himself? Yes! But what some suggest is vetting others think is absolutely attacking, exactly what you can expect from networks like MSNBC, NBC, ABC and others when someone becomes a problem for the liberal lineup.

However, I think Bernie Sanders said it best when he said, "Maybe we should spend time on real issues instead of digging into the past — 30+ years ago." Amazing! What a concept!

Today the middle class is disappearing. There are more women and children in poverty than ten years ago. There's more racial tension.

There's class warfare.

Our veterans aren't being cared for. Our military is a mess. There's corruption in almost all government agencies. There's war on Christianity. ISIS is getting stronger daily now in 12 countries that we know of and is responsible for at least 25 attacks outside of Syria in 2 years. Our national debt is ticking like a time bomb, sure to affect future generations to come.

And what's the media concerned about? Attacking the outsiders, e.g.: Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, and can you believe it, Bernie Sanders.

Let's look back. Ben Carson doesn't have a scandal. Marco Rubio doesn't have a scandal.

And frankly, I'm not crazy for Donald Trump, but there's no scandal there. But on the flip side, Hillary Clinton is nothing but scandal!

In my opinion, if the nominees were Carson versus Hillary, Carson would be the next President. At this point the

above is not a prediction!

It's too early in the game.

On to Bush 41 – 43 and 45??? Wouldn't I love to be a mouse on Thanksgiving Day at the Bush family gathering!

Bush 41 has come out ripping Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, accusing both of not doing a good job for Bush 43, and he has gone so far as to call them iron asses, making Bush 43 uncomfortable and creating more problems for Jeb Bush.

And last but not least, to confirm my earlier comments about the liberal media, in watching Meet the Press last Sunday morning, 55 minutes were spent in "gotcha" moments on Republican candidates and Bernie Sanders as opposed to 5 minutes addressing the serious issue of ISIS with U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA).

Until next week.

MT. VERNON GIRL RECEIVES GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARD

Submitted Photo

Danielle Patton Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) is pleased to announce that Danielle Patton from Mt. Vernon has received the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can receive.

For her Girl Scout Gold Award project, called A Fresh Start From My Heart, Danielle worked with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) to brighten the lives of the children being served by the organization.

Danielle created age appropriate Birthday Boxes which contained the necessary items for a child’s birthday party. She also created Blessing Bags for the children that were filled with

such things as personal hygiene products, toys, books and socks. The final step of Danielle’s project consisted of her making Life Books for the children.

These notebooks contained autographed pictures of local celebrities that provided encouragement and inspiration to the children who received them.

Danielle gained valuable life skills from completing her Girl Scout Gold Award project. “I learned that I am very fortunate to have such unconditional love and support from my family and friends,” said Danielle. “I learned to recognize a problem, take control, be a leader and take action to help make a difference,” she added.

Danielle is the daughter of Greg and Lesa Patton.

She is currently a junior at Mt. Vernon Township High School. Danielle has been a Girl Scout for 12 years.

The Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can earn, recognizes a Girl Scout's commitment to excellence as she develops skills and values to meet present and future challenges in her life. To earn the Girl Scout Gold Award, a Girl Scout Senior

• On Nov. 13, 1850, Robert Louis Stevenson, author of "Treasure Island" and "Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," is born in Scotland.

By Larry Cox "Mantiques" Q: I attended an antique show in Atlanta recently and noticed a booth that featured "Mantiques." Although I have an idea, what exactly are "mantiques." — Betty, Augusta, Georgia A: "Mantiques" are items that appeal primarily to men such as tools, hand-painted ties, sports equipment, jukeboxes, vintage fountain pens and watches, pin-ups, old pulp magazines, fishing lures and related gear, garage signage and militaria.

One of the better books written about this field of collecting is "Mantiques: A Manly Guide to Cool Stuff " by Eric Bradley and published by Krause Books. According to Bradley, there are five main reasons to collect: Mantiques are funky, unique and bitchin'; Mantique collectors like to go on adventures; People who collect mantiques are good company; People who sell mantiques are as strange and awesome as the things they sell; and Mantiques make you smart. ***

Q: My family owned several gas stations throughout the 1940 and '50s. I have two signs that I think might be valuable: a pump plate for "Bulko" gasoline, and a double-sided porcelain sign for Chevron gasoline. Am I right? — Carl, Wheaton, Illinois A: Indeed. According to "Warman's Gas Station Collectibles" by Mark F. Moran, your "Bulko" plate is worth the most. If in good condition, it could retail for as much as $3,500. Your Chevron sign is valued at $1,100. Gas station collectibles have become quite popular, and w it h t he incre as e d demand, prices have risen dramatically. ***

Q: I have six Jim Beam bottles and nine miniatures, all filled with liquor and sealed. Where can I sell them? — Freda, Albuquerque, New Mexico A: You can't as long as there is liquor in the bottles. It is illegal to sell liquor without the proper permits. My advice is to either empty out the containers and then sell them or, better yet, have a party. *** Q: I have five Time magazines from 1958. I plan to sell them but have no idea of how much they might be worth. I am hoping to get about $50 each. — Mark, Clarksville, Tennessee A: Although hope springs eternal, your

magazines are probably worth about $10 each.

That is, of course, assuming they are in good condition. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: A local pet charity held a Halloween-themed pet walk, where participants bring their dogs in costume to parade along a local street. My question is, do these kinds of charity events really help pets in need?

They just seem like chichi see-and-be-seen social gatherings without any real purpose. — Dan in Long Beach, California DEAR DAN: Charity events can do a tremendous amount of good for pets in need. Besides donations of food, blankets and other items, most shelters and nonprofits need cold hard cash in order to function. These events can raise quite a bit of money.

Many pet owners join in walks like these just for fun, and I think that’s fine.

They’re proud of their pet and want to show it off, and it’s a great chance to socialize (as long as the dogs can handle large crowds).

However, if you’re also concerned about how your donation will be used, it doesn’t hurt to do some research first. What exactly does the charity support?

(Some fund pet rescues or local shelters; others advocate for seniors and their pets, and so on.) How much of its funding goes directly to the cause being supported?

You can find the answer through watchdog groups like Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator. org/), Guidestar (www. guidestar.org/Home.aspx) or the Wise Giving Alliance (www.give.org/). You also can check an approved nonprofit’s 990 tax forms from the IRS to see how efficiently donations are used.

If you’re still skeptical, save those funds and

"Here's a great way to organize in the shop: Use chalkboard paint on the outside of cabinet doors, and even drawer fronts. You can label the contents, or use the surface to jot down quick measurements if needed.

Simple to erase when you make a change. I write down references for a project as I go, and it's easier to see than shuffling through scrap papers on my workbench." â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A. in Montana â&#x20AC;˘ Experts say to always crack your egg on a flat surface, rather than using the edge of a counter or bowl.

More egg-tastic advice is to crack eggs into a small bowl instead of directly to ingredients. If you have a sneaky "bad egg" in your dozen, it's better to find out before you ruin your baking. â&#x20AC;˘ Attention salad eaters: Got a thick dressing that's high in fat? Rinse lettuce before dressing your salad.

Wet or moist lettuce traps less dressing. If your dressing is light, give salad greens an extra spin. Drier lettuce holds on to dressing, making lightly dressed salad more flavorful. â&#x20AC;˘ Another great use for baking soda: Add a cup or two to your toilet bowl. Swish and let sit for 1-2 hours.

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

Living in the Light of the Coming of Christ Followers of Jesus Christ have anticipated His second coming ever since His ascension back to heaven. Jesus promised that He would come again.

(John 14:1-6) Throughout history some Christians have been so excited that they have sold their possessions, refused to work, and waited on a mountain for Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return. Others have grown weary and impatient in waiting for Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; return and have become lukewarm Christians. In I Thessalonians 5, the apostle Paul addresses the hope of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return.

He gives several commands to explain how believers should live in the light of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming.

To be a vibrant follower of Christ, put into practice these seven commands.

RESPECT AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. (I Thessalonians 5:12-15) We are to respect those who God has placed over us. We are admonished to live at peace with each other.

Jesus said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.â&#x20AC;? (Matthew 5:9) We are told to â&#x20AC;&#x153;exhort, warn, comfort the faint hearted, and be patient with all.â&#x20AC;?

The church is not a country club for the perfect, but a hospital for the sick, feeble, and recovering. In the

1. Is the Book of 2 John in the Old or New Testament or neither?

light of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming we are told to â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.â&#x20AC;? (Ephesians 4:3) We are even commanded to â&#x20AC;&#x153;greet one another with a holy kiss.â&#x20AC;? (I Thessalonians 5:26) Perhaps in our culture, a loving hug would be an equivalent.

REJOICE EVERMORE. (I Thessalonians 5:16) In Philippians 4:4, we are commanded to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rejoice.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? To rejoice means to give joy to, to feel joy, or great delight.â&#x20AC;? The object of the believerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s joy is the Lord Jesus. (Psalm 37:4) The prophet Nehemiah, told us that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The joy of the Lord is our strength.â&#x20AC;?

(Nehemiah 8:10) In the light of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming as darkness and perilous times sweep the earth, we are to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rejoice in the Lord always.â&#x20AC;? This means in the good times and bad times.

It becomes the believerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyle.

PR AY WITHOUT CEASING. (I Thessalonians 5:17) Does this mean we are to pray 24/7?

No, but through the day we are to be in communion with the Lord. Martin

13

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area Luther said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The less I pray, the harder it is. The more I pray the easier it becomes.â&#x20AC;? Prayer moves the kingdom of God. We must encourage one another to pray. Pray in the Spirit. (Ephesians 6:18) IN EVERY THING GIVE THANKS. In the light of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming we are admonished, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.â&#x20AC;? (I Thessalonians 5:18; Ephesians 5:18-20) Notice it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say necessarily for all things, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;in all things.â&#x20AC;? God is sovereign.

In His time and way, He will make all things right and work it for our good.

(Romans 8:28) To give thanks in everything requires a deliberate act of faith. Doing so brings the presence and power of God into our life and circumstances. Develop the habit of thanking God throughout your day.

DO NOT QUENCH THE SPIRIT. (I Thessalonians 5:19) Have you ever blown out a match or thrown a bucket of water on a campfire? To disobey or disrespect the leading or moving of the Holy Spirit quenches the fire of the Spirit. The Spirit will not stay where He is not honored. (Zechariah 2:6; Ephesians 5:18) DO NOT DESPISE PROPHECIES. (I Thessalonians 5:20-21) God

knew that a time would come when many in the church would not accept the supernatural impartation of the gifts of the Spirit. (I Corinthians 12; 14) They would rely on their own abilities and intellect instead of the Spiritâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impartation. God still speaks supernaturally.

In the light of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming, in the end times, the church needs to hear what the Spirit is saying.

A B S TA I N F R O M EVERY FORM OF EVIL. (I Thessalonians 5:22) Jesus is coming for the church, called the Bride of Christ, that is â&#x20AC;&#x153;without spot or wrinkle,â&#x20AC;? holy unto the Lord. We live in a corrupt world. Jesus said the last days would be as in the days of Noah. We will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Every day we make choices to honor or dishonor Christ.

Paul closes his discourse to the church with a prayer of benediction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now may the God of peace Himself, sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our lord Jesus Christ.â&#x20AC;? (I Thessalonians 5:23-24) In the light of the coming of Christ, may this be our prayer.

by Samantha Weaver • It was early 20thcentury American horror novelist H.P. Lovecraft who made the following sage observation: "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."

• Those who study such things say that Americans spend about $1.65 billion every year on tattoos, and that 45 million Americans have

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your honesty continues to impress everyone who needs reassurance about a project.

But be careful you don’t lose patience with those who are still not ready to act.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Pushing others too hard to do things your way could cause resentment and raise more doubts. Instead, take more time to explain why your methods will work.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be more considerate of those close to you before making a decision that could have a serious effect on their lives.

Explain your intentions and ask for their advice.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have to defend a workplace decision you plan to make. Colleagues might back you up on this, but it’s the facts that will ultimately win the day for you. Good luck.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat’s co-workers might not be doing enough to help get that project finished. Your roars might stir things up, but gentle purrr-suasion will prove to be more effective.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone you care for needs help with a problem. Give it lovingly and without judging the situation. Whatever you feel you should know will be revealed later.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) While you’re to be admired for how you handled recent workplace problems, be careful not to react the same

way to a new situation until all the facts are in.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Rely on your keen instincts as well as the facts at hand when dealing with a troubling situation. Be patient. Take things one step at a time as you work through it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your curiosity leads you to ask questions. However, the answers might not be what you hoped to hear.

Don’t reject them without checking them out.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be careful not to tackle a problem without sufficient facts. Even sure-footed Goats need to know where they’ll land before leaping off a mountain path.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Appearances can be deceiving. You need to do more investigating before investing your time, let alone your money, in something that might have some hidden flaws.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your recent stand on an issue could make you the focus of more attention than you would like. But you’ll regain your privacy, as well as more time with loved ones, by week’s end.
