Mt. Vernon Prayer Breakfast The Mt. Vernon Prayer Breakfast was held on Friday, September 14 at Cedarhurst Center for the Arts. The event is designed to gather God's people for prayer to unite our communities and to promote love, respect, and acceptance of one another. The guest speaker was Susan Abar, author of Against All Odds: Two Pennies, A Rainbow and a Woman Called Mercy. The book is Susan's story about God's redeeming mercy. Shopper's Weekly Staff Photo

Splurging With Pasta
Bookkeeper Michelle Prosser
One of my big downfalls is pasta. I love, love, love pasta! Right now I'm watching what I eat, for what I'm not sure. So I guess after I hit my weight goal I can splurge! I love to cook, and along with that, of course, comes I love to eat! So even though right now it's off limits, I still like to write about some of my favorite pasta recipes. Enjoy!

Looking For His Coming
tells us that Jesus is coming for them that look for his coming. I want to be in that number that are looking earnestly for his coming. As the old hymn says, “It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus.” How then shall we then live in the light of the Lord’s soon coming? REJOICING IN HOPE. Film maker Michael Moore said that people should not live in hope but live for today. The reality is that without hope, people die. The coming of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven is called “The blessed hope.” Jesus will rule in righteousness, justice, and peace. “And rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:2) “Whom having not
I was talking with a lady recently who is going through some sorrows. I said to her, “Jesus is coming soon.” She replied, “You’ve been saying that for a hundred years!” I laughed and replied, “Yes, but the church has been proclaiming the coming of the Lord for over 2,000 years! Think about how much closer we are to Christ’s return.” The return of Jesus to this world is called “The blessed hope.” It’s a motivating factor of the Christian life. “Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:11-15) The Bible

seen you love. Though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory.” (I Peter 1:8) REPENTING. If Jesus can come at any time, then we need to repent and keep repenting of any sin that would separate us from the blessed Lord and the catching away of the church — the “bride of Christ.” “Repent and be baptized . . . in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” (Acts 2:38) Jesus says to the church, “Remember, therefore, how you have received and heard and hold fast and repent. If, therefore, you shall not watch, I

will come for you as a thief and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.” (Revelation 3:3) READING THE SIGNS. Jesus said that no one knows the day nor hour of his return. (Matthew 24:36) But he did give certain signs of his coming. You can see many of t he m i n Matthew 24 that have been fulfilled or are being fulfilled right before our eyes. When the fig tree buds is a parable given by Jesus. (Matthew 24:32-34) Jesus said when it buds know that we are in the ge n e r at i on of h i s coming. I believe the fig tree is Israel. Israel became a nation again in 1948. I believe Jesus is
coming during my lifetime. He gave many other signs and warned us to be ready for his return. (Matthew 24:3744) Ezekiel prophesied of the restoration of Israel to their land in the end times. (Ezekiel 37:15-23) He also prophesied of an end time war when certain nations would come against Israel. They will be led by Russia to “take spoil and take prey.” God will fight for Israel and bring destruction upon those nations. (Ezekiel 38) These nations are presently aligned and poised. REAPING. If Jesus is coming soon, then we must be about our master’s business. On September 11, 2018 I was driving through the
country and saw farmers picking corn with their combines, the first of the season here. We must be diligent in the work of the Lord. Jesus gave us the parable of the unfaithful ser vant in Matthew 24:45-51. “Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.” (Matthew 24:46) READY FOR HIS COMING. “Therefore, be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the son of man comes.” (Matthew 24:44; II Peter 3:9-14) Jesus is coming soon! Are you ready? Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

“Juliette’s Closet.” With the addition of the mobile shop, GSSI plans to increase visibility of the Girl Scouts brand and mission identity, as well as make Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois merchandise more accessible to all volunteers and girls in the 40 counties they serve. According to T SL Marketing, one of the greatest achievements of the 21st century is the mobilization of business. Companies are decreasing their dependency on stationary environments and are moving to mobile. Marketing and merchandising are no different, and with the mobile shop, anywhere the Girl Scouts go, their mission and brand will be visibly present through this new shop. Coming soon to a Girl Scout event near you, “Juliette’s Closet” is sure to provide Troops and Service Units with the best merchandise in the Midwest. The shop will be fitted with all of your Girl Scout favorites, and rather than group scheduling a delivery of items in limited supply, the mobile shop will bring a diverse array of GSSI and GSUSA merchandise right to your location. Instead of being limited in time and space to a physical shop location, troops can schedule a visit when they need it most. Juliette’s Closet will be visiting Service Units located at least one hour from the Glen Carbon office on a monthly basis. GSSI will also host a new page on the Shop Section of our website in order for volunteers to see where Juliette’s Closet will be traveling to next, to check availability, and to request Juliette’s Closet for area Service Unit events. Once Juliette’s Closet is fully outfitted and stocked, GSSI will be hitting the road and headed to an event near you!
Wednesday, September 19, 2018
First and foremost this week is Hurricane Florence that's already claimed lives and created great devastation for men, women, children and beasts. And it's not going to be over in a few days. Tropical Depression Florence has caused heavy flooding and wind damage in the Carolinas. Residents will face the heavy challenges of cleaning up, repairing and rebuilding their lives for a long time. If you want to help there are some suggestions below. Sending money is the best way to help, and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced that the State is accepting donations to help meet the immediate needs of the people affected by the hurricanes. You can contribute online or by texting Florence to 20222. And there's the Red Cross where you can donate online or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS or texting RED CROSS to 90999. If you send donations to the United Way, one hundred percent of your individual donation will go to local United Way groups. The Charleston Animal Society, and area shelters are also encouraging people outside the affected storm area to foster or adopt. My t houg hts and prayers are with the folks in Florence's path. On to the last week's craziness. First up, Paul Manafort flips. One of the leaders of the resistance group, Adam (Shifty) Schiff (D), U. S. Representative for California's 28th Congressional District, said last week that, "Paul Manafort is the most likely to help us." If I had interviewed him I would have asked him, "Who is us?" Of course, liberal Chuck Todd of Meet the Press let that one slide. But what's
new! Schiff also said last week, "Any move to pardon Manafort, or dangle a pardon, would be a further act of obstruction of justice." Sorry folks, but coming from this wide-eyed wonder it's almost a joke, if it weren't so sad. The fact is Manafort did take a plea deal and will cooperate with Special counsel. He's 69 years old, looking at ten years and spending 23 hours a day in solitary confinement. A White House spokesman has said this has "nothing to do" with the President. And rest assured, as long as this witch hunt has gone on, if there was any collusion we would already know it. God knows the Democrats have looked under every rock. On to Diane Feinstein. At the last minute (before the final vote to confirm Kavanaugh) she sent a letter to the Justice Department accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, allegedly, when he was in high school. Of course, Ms. Feinstein has had this letter since July (three months). She's just now bringing it to the table. She said the letter came from a woman who wanted to stay anonymous, and declined to detail the letter's content. Are they serious? This letter allegedly was coordinated by Stanford University, where Adam Schiff attended from 1978 to 1982. Imagine that! Oh, the webs they weave. In my mind this is an all time low. Future Justice Kavanaugh has been through six FBI background checks and nothing has been found. The whole hearing of Brett Kavanaugh has been a three-ring circus, a disgrace. No fair-minded
The Shoppers Weekly – Mt. Vernon Area
citizen can disagree that Kavanaugh is more than qualified. During the hearings the Democrats violated every rule. There were 240 protesters who interrupted these hearings. It went from bad to worse. The problem, in my opinion, they want activist liberal judges, those who will continue to rewrite the Constitution. So can a letter containing an alleged 35-year-old secret derail this nomination? NO! The vote, in my opinion, will be straight
5
Kavanaugh for sexual misconduct has come forward. She is a professor at a University in California and only "remembered" the incident in 2012, six years ago. That says it all! This is a last ditch effort to stop the confirmation. These are very dangerous times, my friends. let me leave you this week with a quote from a wise man. I have used the phrase a number of times — extreme liberals. And last week I had a closer look at people like Diane Feinstein, Adam Schiff, and a number of others. Referring to Diane Feinstein, one of my friends pointed out, "She is not liberal, none of them are. They are totalitarian fascist communists hiding under a label." And coming from another wise man last week, another profound statement, "In a generation no one will recognize the country." To that I also agree, if it keeps going the way it's going.

Invite your mother, sisters and friends to come and enjoy a FREE evening
Threshermen's Dinners were necessary in the days before farmers had their own combines. A crew with a threshing machine would visit each farm when the grain was ripe. Neighbors would come to help, and the farmer's wife and neighboring women would prepare a large noontime dinner for the workers.

GreenTree Quilt Show Features Resident's Work GreenTree resident Dorothy Folsom spoke recently on all of the quilts she has made over the years. One day after retirement Dorothy's sister encouraged her to enter a quilting contest. Dorothy thought it was a crazy idea since she had never quilted before, but after some debate she decided to enter. Not only did she win the traditional block, but she also won the original block. This turned into many beautiful quilts from many different patterns, and most have been quilted by hand. Dorothy would draw out her designs, then piece her colors and patterns together to make them her

Red Cross: Donors Urged To Give Blood, Help Blood Supply Match Patient Diversity The American Red Cross urges people of all races and ethnicities to give blood to help ensure a diverse blood supply for patients in need. The vast majority of blood types fall into one of the major ABO groups. However, some blood types are unique to certain racial and ethnic groups, so a diverse blood supply is important to meeting the medical needs of an increasingly diverse patient population. Twelve-year-old Braden Green required blood transfusions to treat complications from sickle cell disease. “It saved his life, that blood transfusion,” said his mom, Brenda Green. “A blood donation
can give a patient another chance at life or an opportunity to get through the day.” Blood given to patients with rare blood types or those who need repeated transfusions for conditions such as sickle cell disease or thalassemia must be matched very closely. Patients are less likely to have complications from blood donated by someone with a similar racial or ethnic background. All blood types are needed to ensure that the right blood product is available at the right time for all patients. Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting
RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). As a thank-you, those who come to donate blood or platelets through Sept. 30, 2018, will receive a coupon via email for a free haircut at participating Sport Clips locations. More information is available at RedCrossBlood.org/sportclips. Upcoming blood donation opportunities are listed below. Jefferson County Sept. 25, 2018: 12 p.m. - 5 p.m., Bluford Ruritan Club, 814 6th Street, Bluford, IL Sept. 21, 2018: 1 p.m. - 5 p.m., Nu Bowl Lanes, 1315 North 17th Street, Mount Vernon, IL

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Aspects favor new romances for unpaired Ewes and Rams. Alreadypaired Arian twosomes experience renewed harmony in their relationships. Money matters also take a bright turn. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Use that strong Bovine determination to help you keep the faith with your convictions while you move through a period of uncertainty. Things begin to ease by the week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Pay attention to your intuition. It could be alerting you to be more careful about accepting a “statement of fact” simply on trust. Don’t be shy about asking for more proof. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Concern for the well-being of someone in need is admirable. But don’t forget to take care of yourself as well. Ask a family member, close friend or colleague to help you. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s OK to focus on the demands of your career. But try to avoid misunderstandings by also reaching out to family and friends. Your sharp intuitive sense kicks in by midweek. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Keep a rein on that green-eyed monster. Jealousy is counterproductive. Instead of resenting a colleague’s good points, concentrate on developing your own abilities. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Spending time on a creative proj-
ect during this high-energy week can pay off both in emotional satisfaction and in impressing someone who is glad to see this side of you. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Now is a good time to start planning that trip you’ve put off because of the demands on your time. Be sure to choose a destination that is new and exciting. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That upbeat mood in the first part of the week makes you eager to take on new ventures. A more serious note sets in later to help you assess an upcoming decision. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A high energy level gives the Goat the get-up-and-go to finish outstanding tasks before deadline, leaving time for well-earned fun and games with friends and family. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Dealing with disappointment is never easy. But the wise Aquarian will use it as a vital lesson and be the better for it. A close friend has something important to say. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Best bet is not to get involved in an argument between colleagues until you know more about who started it and why. And even then, appearances could be deceiving. Be alert. BORN THIS WEEK: You have creative gifts that inspire those who get to see this sometimes-hidden side of you. © 2018 King Features Synd., Inc.
