New Miss Mount Holly eyes the Miss N.C. crown By TODD HAGANS Special to The Banner-News
Anne Marie Hagerty, the new Miss Mount Holly, has set her sights on the Miss North Carolina crown. Just weeks after winning the local pageant title, Hagerty is already preparing for the June competition when young women from across the state converge on Raleigh to find out who will be chosen to represent North
Carolina at Miss America. She’s also planning an appearance schedule that will keep her busy attending Springfest, the Friday night concert series, and other events around town. “I am ready for a great year representing Mount Holly,” said Hagerty. “I am overjoyed to have the opportunity to connect with the community, promote my social impact initiative, and compete for Miss North Car-
olina. Ultimately, I would love to go all the way to Miss America.” Hagerty lives in Charlotte, but her job as a reporter for WBTV brings her to the Mount Holly area on a regular basis. She graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in broadcast journalism and a double minor in history and music. Her community service program is titled “A Higher Purpose,” and it focuses on freeing people from
drug and alcohol addiction and helping them to seek a higher purpose in life. A classical pianist, Hagerty topped the field of five contestants that competed on Saturday, February 8 for the Miss Mount Holly 2020 title. The other contestants were Jada Carter, Hollis Brown, Maddy Wilson, and Olivia Foy. See CROWN, Page 2

Mt. Holly council gets land use plan update By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info
The Mt. Holly city council received an update on the municipality’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan at its Feb-
ruary 10 meeting. The firm of Kimley Horn has been working on the plan since June 2019. The idea behind the Land Use Plan is to “provide general guidance as land use decisions are considered in the future”.
The plan will also “reflect the vision from the Strategic Vision Plan Update and land use principles that provide broader direction for the future of Mt. Holly”. See LAND USE, Page 2
Ransom Hunter rose from the bonds of slavery to become one of Mt. Holly’s leading businessmen and citizens and though he died a century ago, his name is still remembered to this day. Hunter was born a slave on a plantation near Charleston circa 1825. As a boy he
was sold to the Hoyle family who owned a large farm near Dallas and Stanley in Gaston County. Just before the Civil War broke out in 1861, Hunter’s owner set him free and gave him a plot of land near the Catawba River that Hunter named “Freedom”. It is believed that Hunter was the first free black in Gaston to own property. Though the land was rugged, Hunter pitched in and through his sweat and sinew created a prosperous farm.

More than Words By Rev. Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org pastortrent@salvationchurchnc.org
Whenever someone who has never visited my home comes for a visit, my two dogs always bark and growl like they intend to have an early lunch! However, it is all bark, and no bite. As soon as you pet them, they roll over and become your best friend. People can often be somewhat like my dogs, a lot of bark, and no bite. In other words, we are too often much talk, and little do. This is often true concerning love. We say we love God, and others, yet does our actions show true love? In James 2:15-16 James writes, “If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,� but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it
LAND USE
profit?� (NKJV) James is writing about our faith. If we just say we believe, yet our lives never show our faith, how does our faith win others? If we say to people in need, to go and have what they need, how will that help them? That would be absurd for us to say, yet that is too often how we Rev. Trent Tankin react without actually saying those words. Is our love more than words? It is easy for us to shield ourselves from the needs of others. We get so caught up in the many blessings we have from God, that we forget about the needs around us. We have food, shelter, and warmth from the winter cold, but what about those who are lacking? If we are to truly love God, and others, it starts with a burdened heart. We have to approach God humbly in true repentance and faith. We also have to have a heart for our neighbors. It must break our hearts to know most people around us do not know Jesus. It must break our hearts knowing too many people around us are hurting physically, and spiritually. Love is more than words. We can say “I love you,� yet if we do not live those words with God, our families, and others, then we should not waste our time saying those words. May we live our love every day before God, and our neighbors. Long before we ever say we love someone, may our actions already show it. Today, may your love be reflected in actions. Put feet on your faith. Put power in your words. Say “I love you,� and always mean it!

Jamie Laval
Gaston Museum to present Celtic music event The Gaston County Museum will present U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion Jamie Laval performing a concert of Celtic music and the retelling of ancient mythic tales. On Friday, March 13, at 7:30pm at the Gaston County Museum, 131 W. Main St, Dallas. Recognized throughout the U.S. and Britain as one of the premier performers of traditional Scottish music on the international music scene today, Jamie captivates audiences with his passionate, virtuosic performances, uncanny imitation of Highland bagpipes, and engaging stories. Currently making his home in Tryon, North Carolina, Jamie studied classical violin at the Victoria Conservatory of Music in British Columbia. In 2002 Jamie won the U.S. National Scottish
Fiddle Championship which launched his full-time career in Celtic music. “One of the hottest fiddlers out there� Asheville Citizen-Times and “The next Alasdair Fraser� Scotland Press & Post, Jamie has performed for Her Majesty the Queen, appeared on Dave Matthews’ platinum album Some Devil, and presented a TEDx Talk on the value of arts and music in our communities. Murmurs and Drones, Jamie’s third album, won the popular vote for “Best World Traditional Album� in the 2012 Independent Music Awards. In 2019 Jamie released his latest album, Celtic Christmas: Music for the Deep Midwinter to critical acclaim. Jamie is also a skilled composer, arranger of symphonic scores, and a devoted educator.

Gas price averages in the Carolinas increased on the week, as other statewide averages across the country fluctuated. North Carolina jumped four cents on the week to $2.28, while South Carolina increased by seven cents to $2.18. “Crude oil costs increased last week causing some spikes across the Carolinas,� said Tiffany Wright, AAA Carolinas spokesperson. “We’ve been spoiled over the last few weeks with cheaper gas prices but we could be in for a roller coaster ride from pump to pump depending on demand and the movement of the crude oil market.� At the close of Friday’s formal trading session on the NYMEX, WTI increased by $1.73 to settle at $52.05.
Crude prices increased at the end of last week after reports emerged that the coronavirus had potentially reached its peak. Market watchers ended the week optimistic that global crude demand, which is expected to drop due to reduced travel as a result of the growing international public health crisis, would not suffer further. However, if occurrences of the virus continue to increase this week, the market may struggle to hold onto price gains. Until it appears that the public health threat from the virus declines and China’s industrial sector recovers from the impact of the virus on production, crude prices are likely to continue facing downward pressure. The national gas price average increased by two cents on the week to $2.44.
From Page 1 The plan will be completed in June 2020. As the presentation revealed, part of the plan includes parks. The fully updated park plan is the first one since 2010 and will include recommendations for facilities, branding, marketing, programs, and organizational structure. According to the presentation, the plan’s study area contained more than the land within the city limits. The city proper has 10.9 square miles and the study area includes 33.8 square miles, Since 2010 the area has seen a population growth of 13.3 percent to a total of 24,212. That same time period The presentation showed public input has been a vital part of the plan. So far, two of four steering committee meeting have been done and a stakeholder symposium took place on July 25, 2019. An online survey was done from July 19, 2019 to September 13, 2019. Public
workshops took place August 27, 2019, December 3, 2019 and will take place on March 19, 2020. The yield was over 600 touch points, 25,000 data points, and over 1,200 written remarks. The meetings yielded interesting results. Folks expressed a desire to connect people and places, promote downtown Mt. Holly, parks and natural areas add value, and growth is acceptable if done correctly. The council presentation wrapped up by laying out the next steps for the plan which will be the March 19 workshop, a steering committee meeting on April 8, 2020, a planning commission meeting on June 1, 2020, and the June 8, 2020 city council meeting. Overall, Mt. Holly’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan is taking a measured, scientific and sociological approach to mapping out the city’s future development and dynamics.
CROWN From Page 1 Hagerty wasn’t the only young woman to win a crown. Micah Eustache was named Miss Mount Holly’s Outstanding Teen 2020 and will compete in Raleigh as well. She will be vying for the Miss North Carolina’s Outstanding Teen title and the chance to advance to the national pageant in Orlando, Florida.

ans In Peace,â€? and it focuses on supporting veterans and their families. For the fourth consecutive year, the Miss Gastonia Scholarship Association sponsored the Miss Mount Holly pageant.

Local Girl Scout receives Gold Award Molly Sly, a 17-year-old Senior at Highland School of Technology and resident of Cramerton, has received her Gold Award in Girl Scouts. This is the highest service award equivalent to the Eagle Scout Award in Boy Scouts. She has been a Girl Scout for 13 years. The name of her project is “Haiti Smiles”. Molly spent 100 hours organizing and coordinating with local dental professionals in the community to collect dental hygiene items (toothbrushes, floss, and toothpaste).

Belmont, and Mercy Beyond Borders. Molly is in the dental health track at Highland School of Technology and has a career interest in the dental profession. Alongside Molly throughout this project were her mentors Ms. Ingrid Thomas and Sister Jill Webber of The Sisters of Mercy, Dr. James Macomson DDS of Gastonia, and Dr. Kevin Monroe and Dr. Courtney Deskus of Mountain Island Family Dentistry of Charlotte. These kits will be used to introduce dental hygiene to an impoverished country in hopes of providing basic oral hygiene to provide healthier and brighter smiles.

HUNTER From Page 1 During Reconstruction following the war, Hunter’s hard work enabled him to purchase additional land in what is today’s appropriately named Freedom neighborhood in Mt. Holly. He operated a livery stable on Main St. and ran a general store for the local African_American populace making him one of the first black business owners in the area. He also helped recently freed slaves find jobs and housing. Hunter was a strong believer in education. He learned to read, write, and
do math. He also learned carpentry and blacksmithing. He served on the Public School Committee of District No. 12, which at the time was called the “colored” school district, and deeded land to what became Rollins School in 1887. Hunter also had strong faith. He was the founder of two Mount Holly churches still in existence today: Rock Grove Methodist Church, which became Burge Memorial United Methodist Church, and Mt. Sinai Baptist Church. Hunter died in 1918 at the age of 93 in Mt. Holly.
He’s buried near a large oak in the cemetery at the corner of Hawthorne and West Catawba Ave. in Mt. Holly. Hunter has recently been remembered for his many contributions to Mt. Holly. In July 2014, his descendants held a family reunion and a new headstone was placed under the big tree near his grave. In 2017, Hunter was named as the very first Mt. Holly Historic Person of the Year by the Mt. Holly Historical Society.
This is an archival photo of Ransom Hunter’s home in Mt. Holly.

BANNER-NEWS OBITUARIES
Betty Jean Armstrong Belmont, North Carolina Betty Jean Armstrong, 94, passed away February 17, 2020 at Brookdale Senior Living New Hope. She was born July 15, 1925 in Gaston County, a daughter of the late Ralph Martin and Louise Gaston Armstrong. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Ralph Armstrong. Betty is survived by her loving sister, Eloise Armstrong Buthe, nephews, Alan (Mari) Mullis, Martin (Eleanor) Armstrong; nieces, Lisa (Steve) Carrigan, Molly (Mark) Whitehouse, Shirley Armstrong and several great nephews and great nieces. Ms. Armstrong worked for 39 years in mill offices as a bookkeeper and served as the Secretary for First Baptist
Church before retiring. As a gifted artist, Betty was involved in multiple hobbies creating interesting and varied items of beauty and design in different mediums of creativity. Her talents were also utilized in the church as she devoted much time to the activities of children; teaching them to work with their hands as they studied the Bible. For many years she visited the homebound members of her original church, First Baptist Church in Belmont. In her later years she began crocheting “Scrubbies” in the thousands that were mostly distributed as gifts, sometimes sold as “orders of 100 or more” until she began to lose her vision. Her quiet demeanor and her sweet spirit were effective tools for establishing solid relationships with people whom she knew. A Service by the Graveside was held at 2:00 pm, Friday, February 21, 2020 at Greenwood Cemetery with Rev. Jimmy Hilton officiating. The family received friends after the service. Memorials may be made to the charity of donor’s choice. Condolence messages may be sent online at www. mcleanfuneral.com. McLean Funeral Directors of Belmont is serving the Armstrong family.

Broome Smith, Abbey’s husband Billy, and their daughters Addy and Caroline, of Felton, DE; and daughter-inlaw Etterwa Lewis, of Harmony, NC. Additional surviving family include Ellen Lewis Harris, her husband Glenn, and her son Charles as well as Dorothy and Noah Styles and many nieces, nephews, and “close as family” friends. Frances’ most fervent desire was to remain in her home throughout her final years, and a very special “Thank you” must go to Ellen and Glenn Harris, Melinda Groner, Martin Murphy, and Myra Joye for helping Frances achieve this desire. Now it has come time to celebrate Frances’ long life that so positively impacted so very many. Her calling ever was service to others, and she pursued this calling as a nurse until her reluctant retirement from Gaston Memorial Hospital in 1990. After retiring Frances served on overseas medical missions with her dear friends Dannie and Elaine Benjamin. Frances was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church of Belmont. She graduated from Belmont High School, attended Mercy Hospital School of Nursing and graduated from Gaston College where she was Nursing Student of the Year. A memorial service to celebrate Frances’ life was held at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 22, 2020 at the First Baptist Church of Belmont. Rev. Beth Brittain officiated. The family received friends from 5:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday at the church. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Dannie Benjamin Memorial Mission Fund, First Baptist Church, 23 N. Central Ave., Belmont, NC 28012. Because
of the joy Frances found in puzzling, family and friends are asked to bring a 300 piece puzzle to the service to be donated to local care facilities. Condolence messages may be sent to the family by visiting www.woodlawnfuneral. org. Woodlawn Funeral Home of Mount Holly is serving the family.

Tri-County Animal Rescue:
Pet of the Week
Maria Howell
Maria Howell came home to share music and story of success Maria Howell is an internationally-known singer, actress, speaker, artist -and one of Gaston County Schools’ very own. The 1979 graduate of Hunter Huss High School recently shared her talent, charisma, and warm personality with students during visits to Hunter Huss, Grier, and York Chester to celebrate Black History Month. Howell’s appearance on the Hunter Huss auditorium stage was a homecoming of sorts. When she began her performance with a person-
able rendition of “I Love Being Here With You,” it was like she was right at home -- back in Gastonia, back at Hunter Huss, and back among family and friends. Spending time as a student in the Hunter Huss chorus was a first step on her professional journey that has led to a successful career in music and entertainment. She made her film debut in 1985 in “The Color Purple” and has appeared in dozens of other films and television programs. Last December, she had a role in “A Christmas
Love Story” on the Hallmark Channel. Howell admits that she was too shy in high school to stand on a stage and sing alone. “Nobody believes that now,” she told the students, encouraging them to applaud when they liked what she and her trio of musicians were doing. Being timid in front of an audience is a distant memory for Howell, who owns the stage and commands attention. Her love for music and dance is obvious. She is comfortable up there and has fun. Perhaps most noticeable is her effortless effort to sing, perform, and energize a crowd. Howell says she hopes her time with the students gives them a glimpse of what life can be. Success is out there for them to enjoy -- just like she has done, but it takes “hard work, dedication, and surrounding yourself with people who really support you.” Howell’s performance was made possible by The Piedmont Chapter of the Links, Inc. and the Gaston Arts Council.
Tri-County Animal Rescue Small Pet of the Week is a beautiful Terrier mixed girl named Mimi. She is 4 years old and weighs under 20 pounds. The grooming for this girl is very simple…bath and brushing. Mimi is an adult and will not get any bigger. She gets attached to her person and will sit with them for hours. Mimi came into our rescue with 7 other terriers that were all related to her. She has had puppies in the past but will never have another litter. Mimi was very scared and shy when we first got her but she is learning to trust people. She loves other dogs. Mimi is spayed, current on vaccines and micro-chipped. Come on out…we will be looking for you Saturday. It is a delightful experience to have a terrier mix dog at home. Terriers are brave, mischievous, energetic, active, fearless, independent, playful, and cheerful. You may come across a variety of terrier dog breeds with different genetic makeup. Their characteristics may also vary slightly, as one of their parents belong to a different breed. If you want a dog that: is small and easy to carry, comes in several different coats and colors, is oh-so-funny and entertaining in quirky ways, is very loyal, travels well, doesn’t need much exercise, LOVES warm sunny climates, usually has a long lifespan…..then a Terrier may be right for you! If you are looking for an addition to your family, please come out and meet our pets this weekend. We have many available pets at the Gastonia PetSmart located at 3698 East Franklin Boulevard this Saturday noon to 6 pm. About Tri-County Animal Rescue Tri-County Animal Rescue is a non-profit
Mimi organization serving Lincoln, Gaston and other surrounding counties. We are committed to ending pet homelessness in this area and we need your continued support. If you cannot adopt a pet, then support Tri-County in other ways. We need volunteers and donations to continue our mission of finding homes for these unwanted animals. Please help TriCounty Animal Rescue continue to save pets by adopting your next pet this weekend? Our “needs” list includes: towels, Clorox, laundry detergent, paper towels, dry dog food and dry cat food.

The East Gaston girls basketball team has won four of their last five games. The surging Lady Warriors hope to ride that momentum into the upcoming North Carolina High School Athletic Association NCHSAA playoffs. East Gaston has definitely come a long way. The 201920 squad finished the regular season at 14-11 overall and 7-5 in conference play. The case can be made that this team is the best unit EG has put on the court in years. Under new head coach David Handsel, the Lady Warriors are taking advantage of their athleticism and playing to their strengths. East Gaston has shown that they are capable of making a statement on the court and in the right set of circumstances can run with anyone. Recently the Lady Warriors scored wins over East Rutherford and Burns and a pair of wins over Chase. EG made it to the second round of the Southwestern 2A Conference Tournament before falling to R-S Central. Coach Handsel is pleased with the progress the team has made. “We finished very strong and continued to get better as the season went on,” Handsel said. The Lady Warriors have some real talent to work with. “We have two All-Conference players in AJ Price and Makayla Boyd,” Handsel said. Boyd led the conference in rebounding with 232 rebounds while Price ended the season as one of the top scorers in the Southwestern 2A sinking in a staggering 426 points. With the regular season in their rear view mirror, the Lady Warriors are prepping for the playoffs. When the NCHSAA re-
leased the playoff brackets EG may have drawn the short stick. How so? Before that opinion is explained and we take a journey down the rabbit hole, it goes without saying that a bracket spot is a bracket spot. Every team that makes the playoffs is happy to be there. However, it is obvious that every team also wants to go into the playoffs with the best possible matchup. So let’s begin. The Lady Warriors go into the playoffs as the 32nd seed in the 2A West. That means EG will travel to Salisbury and battle the number one seeded Salisbury Lady Hornets. The NCHSAA utilizes the CBS Sports site MaxPreps to tabulate the brackets. A host of variables are considered when figuring out a bracket spot. MaxPreps considers things like overall record, conference record, strength of schedule and whether or not a team won a conference tournament to earn an automatic slot. The tabulations are all done by computer. With that said, sometimes an argument can be made that the MaxPreps data boys may have gotten it wrong. For example, the Lady Warriors got the 32nd seed in the 2A West with a 14-11 overall record and a 7-5 conference record. Meanwhile, the East Rutherford Lady Cavs were awarded the 30th seed. East Rutherford had a 14-10 overall record and went 6-6 in Southwestern 2A Conference play. EG and East Rutherford played twice and split the series. Both schools played tough non-conference schedules. While you could say a better overall record trumps out a better conference record, how does that explain
Central Davidson getting the 31st seed? The Lady Spartans did not win their conference tournament. They finished the year with an 11-12 overall record and a 9-9 conference record. Go figure. Anyway, in the final picture, such musing is worthless. In the end, EG will have to play the cards they have. So, let’s just say that this will not be an easy game. Salisbury is 25-1 overall and 18-0 in the Central Carolina 2A. They are very good. Conventional wisdom says that Lady Hornets have a legit shot to go all the way to the championship game. That’s not to say East Gaston has no chance. That’s far from the truth. Coach Handsel knows who his team is up against and is unfazed. In fact, Handsel hopes his team will surprise Salisbury. Coach Handsel didn’t express his thoughts on the rankings. Instead, the coach is looking at how to turn a perceived deficit into an advantage. “It’s okay,” Handsel said. “We are happy we’re in the playoffs. we don’t know them and they don’t know us.” EG doesn’t plan on falling in the first round. They are going to give Salisbury a fight. But should the season end this week, Handsel is definitely looking forward to working with these young ladies next season. “I’m excited to come back,” Handsel said. “But I don’t want this season to end. We’ve got a great group of kids. We are only losing one senior, Salem Usher.” Let’s hope that next week we tell the story of David and Goliath.

Red Raiders playoff bound after tough tournament loss By John Wilson john.bannernews@gmail.com
The Shelby basketball team has to drive South Point nuts. The Red Raiders have played Shelby three times this year. All three games were unique and had their own flavor. In the first game, Shelby totally controlled the gamewinning 81-65. On Valentines Day in the regular-season finale, the two rivals met again. This time the Red Raiders lost 72-63, but in that game, South Point played remarkably better. In that loss, the Red Raiders showed that they were capable of going toe to toe with the Golden Lions. Shelby and South Point would meet again for the third time in the Southwestern 2A Conference Tournament. That game proved to be the most exciting of all. The Red Raiders and Golden Lions slugged it out for 32 minutes of regulation play in what proved to be a tough game for both teams. “It felt like a heavy weight match-up,” head coach Kody Kubbs said. “Every punch they threw we threw back.” It was beginning to look
like South Point was about to pull off a huge upset. They say the third time’s the charm, could South Point actually pull it off? “We had a healthy lead for most of the game,” Kubbs said. “We were up by six with 55 seconds to go.” For 31 minutes South Point prevailed. But in that final minute, the world turned inside out for the Red Raiders. In the closing seconds, Shelby showed why they are the top team in the conference when they came from behind and tied the game up 60-60 to throw the game into overtime. Shelby’s run all happened so quick. “They got an offensive rebound off of a free throw and hit a three,” Kubbs said. “Then we turned the ball over and they hit another three to tie.” When the Golden Lions tied the game everything changed. Shelby only dominated for 55 seconds, but that was all it took. Not only did Shelby tie the game, but the Golden Lions took over and dictated the direction of the game. Shelby capitalized on their quick success and took that

How’s your stress level? Have you ever finally gotten home from a stressful day at work only to realize, “Hey! I forgot to pick up the laundry!” or a roast for dinner or the kids from school? Ever wonder why you sit down to take a big test and can’t remember anything you studied? And why you get on stage and can’t find your lines anywhere in your head? Well, now there’s a scientific explanation— stress makes you forgetful. The journal Science reports that stressful situations over which you have no control activate the PKC enzyme. This enzyme impairs short-term memory and other functions in the prefrontal cortex. You know, every week confronts us with these kinds of situations. Life is filled with “technical difficulties beyond our control.” So how can you cope? Take a few deep breaths to relax. Remind yourself of what you can control in the situation. Then seek the strength to change those things you can, accept those you can’t, and the wisdom to know the difference.
momentum into overtime. The Red Raiders never had a chance to recover. Maybe going into overtime South Point was in a state of shock, because in overtime Shelby outscored the Raiders 14-3 to come away with a 74-63 win. The Red Raiders top scorer was Logan Threatt with 20 points followed by Ayden Baker and Grayson Hansen who both had 13. This loss was tough, but the Red Raiders have no time to dwell on it. South Point now has to gear up for the playoffs. The Red Raiders ended the year 18-9 overall and 8-4 in conference action. South Point definitely had a good year. That success napped the Red Raiders the 22nd seed in the 2A West of the North
Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) playoffs. For the first round, the Red Raiders will have to travel to Winston-Salem to take on Atkins Academic and Technology High School Camels. The Camels are 20-6 and hail from the Western Piedmont 2A. Both teams know nothing about the other which should make for an interesting match up. As coach Kubbs did some research into the Red Raider’s next opponent he expressed confidence that his team will be ready. “We are excited,” Kubbs said. “It’s a brand new season. We are sitting on 18 wins which ties a school record. Now we are just waiting for the game.”
OUTDOOR TRUTHS By
Gary Miller ller
Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ In my area there are a few small streams which feed into the rivers. When I say small, I mean only about 10 to 15 yards wide. SevGARY MILLER eral times each spring our wildlife agency releases trout into these shallow streams in order to offer more opportunities to catch fish. There have been several times I have went on an early morning turkey hunt, then afterwards go home and grab my spinning reel and head back to one of these creeks for a couple of hours of trout fishing. It really is a fun way to spend a morning. I can remember the first time I took my son and introduced him to this new type of fishing. He was an older teenager and I could tell he was a little skeptical when I pulled up to the little creek that seemed too shallow to hold any fish of consequence. I knew what he was thinking because I too had shared this sentiment. It really does look like if there were any fish in this creek you would quickly be able to see them. After convincing him the fish were actually there, we proceeded to wet a line. It didn’t take long for him to understand that what looked to be too small, too shallow, unproductive, void, and barren could actually hold great potential. What he needs to learn is that life is exactly the same way. I’m glad he decided to fish that day instead of allowing what he saw to determine what he did. Let me write that again so you will get it. I’m glad he didn’t allow what he saw to determine what he did. If he had, he would’ve missed a good time and a great harvest. Some of you are getting up each morning and looking at your day as my son did this creek. When you give it the eye test it seems what lies in front of you is too small and too shallow to hold anything of real value. It may even seem God has given you a Ranger Bass Boat, but only a stream to fish in. But what you must remember is that faith is more about seeing through the eye than it is in seeing with the eye. Faith doesn’t look at the small and insignificant stream, but it remembers the God who has stocked it. Faith simply casts its bread on the waters without regard for the past, present, or future; knowing that if God can bring salvation from a cross, He can bring big blessings from my little brook.
