The new response model adopted by the district comes from the I Love U Guys Founda tion’s Standard Response Protocol, which focuses on five different terms that can be used in any event: hold, secure, lockdown, evacuate, and shelter. “No matter what happens, we can use those five terms and everyone within the community should know what those terms mean,” Wilson added. The keypad entry sys tem was included in the 2016 bond projects ap proved by voters.

The day began with a welcome from Forsyth County Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough and a per formance from WinstonSalem State Univer sity’s Powerhouse Red and White cheerleaders. Throughout the day resi dents from the Carver School Road community and surrounding neighbor hoods were welcomed to free food, school supplies, books, backpacks, health screenings and physicals. There was also a voter reg istration tent for those who were“Oneeligible.ofour main tenets is service to all mankind and so we have been in the Winston-Salem communi ty for almost 100 years and this is one of our signature programs where we give back to the community be cause we know that school supplies are very expen sive so we thought school supplies was a way to help our students get a good start,” said Evelyn Acree, chapterBrittanypresident.Patrick, chair of the Community Day committee, said after not having the event in person for two years, it felt good to be back in the communi ty. “With us being founded at an HBCU and Carver being a historic Black high school, we just felt it was right to do it here,” Patrick continued.“Itfeels amazing to be able to touch and see the people that we’re serving.”

Jonathan Wil son, chief security officer, said the metal detectors will only be used at large events like football games and basketball games. He said the metal detectors will only be used in the school if there is a credible threat.“Those are to be pre dominately at large events, it could be football or bas ketball, it could be a large play or some other event,” Wilson said. “And that is in addition to our wand ing that we have used for years.”Wilson said he hopes the metal detectors are used more as a preven tative measure and they don’t find anything. “Our hope is that we put these out and we never find any thing,” he continued.

“Our hope is that if someone has something in their pocket and they see we’re doing this, they turn around and go back to the car and secure whatever it is.”

“Smaller endowments mean less money for fac ulty salaries, scholarships, research, program expan sions and, perhaps most important, day-to-day operations,” says the re port. “This disparity has a domino effect on other spending.”Andjust like Black consumers frequently find access to capital comes at a high cost, so do HBCUs, according to the report. “[I]t costs Black mi nority-serving institutions more to borrow money compared with white in stitutions. According to ships that would lighten the need for student loans. Throughout HBCU’s history, there is also an im portant intangible quality that is seldom mentioned: a nurturing environment that welcomes students to pur sue their heartfelt dreams. Even now, 39% of HBCU students are first-genera tion college students. It is time for federal and state governments that take a bite out of each worker’s paycheck, to re turn a better proportion of those dollars to HBCUs. Investing in HBCUs pays large and lasting dividends for all of us.

The Century report also notes that decades later, 1965’s Higher Education Act created Pell Grants as a key form of financial as sistance that could cover the costs of non-tuition items, thereby lessening the need to borrow heavily to finance higher educa tion. But as college edu cation costs began a stillcontinuing increase, Pell Grant appropriations did not have a comparable in crease.That funding failure heavily contributed to the onset of racial disparities in accruing student loan debt. An estimated 70% of all HBCU students are financially eligible for this funding.Another recent re port by the Frederick D. higher learning dedicate to capital projects like con struction/renovation and permanent scholarships, are underfunded as well. Citing a report by the Gov ernment Accountability Office, the report found that HBCUs have an aver age of $15,000 in endow ment per student, com pared with $410,000 at comparable non-HBCUs.

As college students settle into campus life, many Black Americans remember the multi-gener ational sacrifices that have established higher educa tion as a bridge to a better life. Despite the continuing pandemic, the rise of infla tion, or the nation’s $1.7 trillion in student debt, parents, grandparents and others urge their students to “get that degree.” And once again, an estimated 300,000 Black students are expected to enroll at one of the nation’s 101 histori cally Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

As a result, an estimated 20,000 Black veterans seeking a college educa tion were turned away from Southern Black col leges, a denial rate double the rate at other colleges.”

Fight against costly gun violence

Photo by John Railey

There was good news at the meeting: “From May 25 to July 31, police and deputies as well as state and federal law enforce ment officers participated in the stepped-up patrols in the city’s neighborhoods with high rates of crime and gun violence,” Assis tant Police Chief Wilson Weaver said the WinstonSalem Journal reported. “During that period, no homicides happened in Winston-Salem, as com pared with eight homicides during the same period in 2021.” Law enforcement officials at the meeting suggested that increased patrols, including by the sheriff’s office in areas of heavy crime in the city, played a role in lack of ho micides.There have been 22 homicides so far this year in the city, the Journal re ported. There were 23 at this point last year. Just as important was the news that community organizations, in coop eration with the City of Winston-Salem, the Win ston-Salem Police Depart ment and the school sys tem, have started several programs for youth in re sponse to citizen calls for that at the first meeting. The programs concentrate on education, nutrition and employment.SusanFrye, a former Forsyth County clerk of court who works with the sheriff’s office, Council woman Burke and the city’s recreation depart ment reported on the prog ress of a reading program and its importance for chil dren. “Once they fall be hind, they feel like they’re not worthy anymore,” she said.School Superintendent Tricia McManus said the school system has em barked on a new initiative emphasizing social and emotional learning. It will address problems students are having in school and outside of it, hopefully heading off violence. “We are teaching the whole child,” she said. In an email, she wrote, “An explicit social and emotional curriculum was outlined as an important component in our district’s mental health plan. As a re sult, students across pre-K through grade 12 will take part in lessons designed to teach SEL skills that are vital for school, work, and life success. Some of the skills include demon strating empathy, effective problem solving, self-dis cipline, relationship build ing (being able to listen and communicate), kind ness, and CSEMmore.”Associate Di rector Alvin Atkinson sees gun violence as a bar rier to economic mobility - including the stress on students and their parents in schools and the work place - and has positioned CSEM as a partner in the effort to reduce gun vio lence. CSEM researches educational inequities and helps at-risk youth through initiatives it supports, in cluding YouthRise, GIDE, Project M.O.O.R.E., the Royal Curtain Drama Guild, the Triad Interna tional Ballet and Island CultureZ, which help youth with efforts ranging from speaking out to finan cial literacy to the arts to urbanTheagriculture.school system’s new initiative on social and emotional learning dovetails with a push At kinson is doing through the Winston-Salem Twin City Lions Club, Lions Quest. That push will take on pressures youth face, including poverty.

Citizens stand up to speak at an Aug. 19 meeting at the Carl Russell Community Center on combating gun violence.

At the June meet ing with CSEM, Sheriff Kimbrough said issues of hunger and educational inequalities are not being addressed. “I go in houses where kids are trying to figure out how to eat,” he said. “Then I go in other houses where you need a tour guide to show you around.”Atthe recent meeting on gun violence, at which citizens talked about the poverty challenges, the sheriff told them: “Your presence and voices are required to change the nar rative.”Let’s hope the chang ing of the narrative has begun.

Two related goals have developed in Winston-Sa lem and Forsyth County’s increasingly coordinated confrontation with gun violence: start early with youth, and address eco nomic concerns tied to gun violence.They are themes For syth County Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough has repeat edly voiced. More money is needed for after-school and summer programs, he has said, and banks with branches in the East Win ston area should contrib ute. “Money is a gamechanger,” he said at a June panel at Winston-Salem State University with WS SU’s Center for the Study of Economic Mobility (CSEM). “We can change thisPeople,narrative.”hesaid, have to see a pathway to better fu tures. “It’s not rocket sci ence,” he said. “Social is sues not addressed become criminalThoseissues.”themes resonat ed at an Aug. 10 meeting at the Carl Russell Commu nity Center on strategies to confront gun violence, moderated by Northeast Ward Councilmember Barbara Hanes Burke as a follow-up to the first meet ing she hosted on the issue, on May 25.

When Charles Diggs, Jr., won election to Con gress in Michigan’s 13th District in 1954, he launched nearly seven de cades in which the city of Detroit had at least one Black member of Con gress. That’s likely to change this year. Because of redistricting, Detroit no longer has congressionalmajority-Blackdistricts. And in the first primary election with newly drawn district lines, a Black can didate did not win the Democratic contest in the heavily Democratic 13th. That means the city is like ly to lack Black represen tation in Congress for the first time in decades. Redistricting is rob bing Black candidates and voters of hard fought for opportunities they have had for years. In Detroit, new districts merged Black areas of the city with white neighborhoods across 8 Mile Road. The city stands to lose Black representa tion in Congress and have less representation in the state legislature. Know ing what the impact could be, voters have spoken out forcefully against the new redistricting maps from pulpits to street corners to the state capitol and even before the state courts. Sadly, Michigan is not alone. The New York Times reported in August that this year, “judges in Alabama, Georgia, Loui siana and Ohio have found that Republican legislators illegally drew those states’ congressional maps along racial or partisan lines, or that a trial very likely would conclude that they did.” But elections are moving forward anyway. We’ve all heard about the restrictive voter sup pression laws that far-right state legislatures are pass ing. We’ve heard about the crackdowns on voting hours and mail-in voting, and even on giving food and water to voters in long lines. But we don’t hear enough about redistricting as another weapon being used to intimidate voters and keep us from exer cising our constitutional rights. It is erasing us from Congress and state legisla tures. We need to call it out and challenge it where we see Callingit. out and chal lenging means organizing, litigating, and legislat ing. It means supporting national and local orga nizations that unite com munities against racist gerrymandering and seek justice in the courts. They might not win every case, but advocacy and activism are essential to righting thisWewrong.must also keep vot ing, running for office, and educating. My organiza tion, People For the Amer ican Way, houses an Afri can American Religious Affairs network that has reaffirmed for more than a decade that “every elec tion matters and every vote counts” - and that includes primaries. For Black min isters in our network, vot ing and civic participation are acts of faith and so much more. As Rever end Dr. Steve Bland, Jr., pastor of Liberty Temple Baptist Church in Detroit said, “It’s not about left or right. Splitting Detroit into two districts was an insult. But we have faith and must “deal with our self-interest by voting in every elec tion!”Iknow that a lot of media coverage of this summer’s primaries has focused on one big ques tion: will Trump-style, MAGA candidates win or lose? But there’s another question that needs to be asked: how harmful are the impacts of redistricting on our communities in this year’s elections and those to come?The current reality dictates that we do not sit out any election. We need to resolutely register, edu cate, motivate and turn out voters. In every election. Every time.

Redistricting is voter suppression,

Star-studded voting rights celebration encourages 10 million more registered Black voters

Participants included the Rev. Jesse Jackson, TJC President Dr. Barbara Arnwine and board chair Daryl Jones, National Urban League President Marc Morial, NNPA President and CEO Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Dr. William Barber II, and Black Vot ers Matter Fund co-founder Latosha Brown. “We’ve got to make sure our Generation Z and Mil lennials don’t, as Malcolm X said, fall for the okeydoke,” Dr. Chavis exclaimed to the large gathering out side the Thurgood Marshall Trust Building. “That they don’t fall for misinformation. Our history shows that if we continue fighting for freedom, we will win free dom,” Dr. Chavis said. “If we continue to fight for voting rights, we will win voting rights.” Morial called out the evils of misinformation and voter suppression. “There’s an effort to suppress and dilute our votes, but we cannot be thwarted, frustrated, or deterred,” Morial asserted. “Only determination and perseverance will help us ensure … because a lot is on the line. The violent insurrection threatened to bring this nation to its knees on January 6. But unfortunately, there are some in this country who don’t believe in represen tative democracy. So, don’t believe in the universality of the right to vote.” Intending to register 10 million more Black voters before the midterm elections, Arnwine, Chavis, and others urged the crowd in D.C. and those watching via a livestream to join the crusade. “We struggle and we sacrifice not for ourselves,” Dr. Chavis asserted. “We struggle and sacrifice and go to the frontlines, and the best feeling in the world is to go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning knowing that you’ve done something for your freedom, for your right to “Ourvote.sleeves are rolled up. We will have votercades and do everything we can to ensure that 10 million more Black people are registered to vote.”

The Transformative Justice Coalition (TJC) and the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) joined the Rainbow Push Coalition and others at a starstudded celebration of the 57th anniversary of the Vot ing Rights Act of 1965. The all-star program presented what organizers called a tremendous opportunity to edu cate the public regarding the significance of the Voting Rights Act and the dangerous threats from the Supreme Court.Held at the Thurgood Marshall Center Trust in Washington, D.C.’s historic Shaw District, the event also highlighted the “anti-democracy forces” that con tinue to threaten voting rights around the country.

Look up the definition of the word “conserva tive” and it will become immediately obvious that the term no longer ap plies to what the Grand Old Party has evolved into since 2016. Just as many publications and broadcast outlets have begun wean ing themselves from the phrase “climate change” in favor of “climate crisis” or “climate catastrophe,” in referring to the extreme far right, it’s time for the media to refrain from us ing the term “conservative Republican” - except, of course, if it’s referring to Rep. Liz AlthoughCheney.their per spectives may wildly dif fer, people of a wide range of political persuasions would no doubt agree that we’re in an electoral emergency. The wildfires of hate raging across the country - and the simulta neous drought of truth tell ing that threatens anyone thirsting for a just society - has made it nearly impos sible to breathe the fresh air ofWhatdemocracy.canmen do? Organize tell-the-truth bucket brigades across the country, from the smallest communities to the largest swing states; everywhere calling out not only the Big Lie but also the local liars.We can look for in spiration and strategies to the organizing successes of the Women’s March, as well as the women’s movement of the last halfcentury. Consider what it could mean to stand to gether: Proud Men as a healthy male counterpoint to dangerous Loud Boys. Samantha Kutner of the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism, an independent think - and do - tank established in the Hague in 2010 to pro vide multidisciplinary policy advice and practi cal, solution-oriented ef forts to effectively counter terrorism, says the “Loud Boys” believe men and Western culture are under siege. Their description of “Western chauvinism,” she says, is code for white replacement conspiracy theory.Men would be doing voters a great service by exposing the close ties between extremist candi dates and extremist orga nizations. Especially im portant would be exposing those candidates who ally themselves with - or are reluctant to disavow, for example - the manifes tos of the mass shooters in 2019’s Christchurch, New Zealand, mosque; an El Paso, Texas, WalMart, as well as this spring’s massacre in a Buf falo, New York, supermar ket. The shooters’ mani festos all decried “white replacement.”Finally,essential to an organized men’s response to the perils of the present political moment, must be our unequivocal support for women’s reproductive rights. In the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, more and more men have recognized that the stakes are simply too high to de clare abortion is a “wom en’sInissue.”Kansas, it’s believed men in surprisingly high numbers were among the voters who overwhelm ingly affirmed women’s bodily autonomy, contrib uting to the stunning victo ry for reproductive rights in that state’s referendum earlier this month. These men need to be encour aged to not just identify themselves as supporters of women’s rights, but also to reach out to other men. If men organize as a gender to help to defeat autocrats, they will be surprised how many al lies there are ready to join them. Denouncing the “Loud Boys” is not enough. We need heartfelt, mature “Proud Men” to stand up and step forward. Right now. Rob Okun H.

My friend Gary left Michigan, went to Sweden years ago, and earned his Ph.D. He’s a research pro fessor. He was not charged any tuition as long as he continued to qualify and thus held no student debt. That’s how it’s done in much of Europe, at least for public universities. Gary was able to marry, have a child, buy a modest family home, and simply support his family, even though there were years back in Michigan when he and his wife earned rela tively little as they each began their careers. My former student Adam works as hard as anyone I’ve ever met. His Vietnam war veteran fa ther left him just enough to finally pay off his student debt for his degrees at a public university in Ore gon.

It is only a matter of electing representatives and senators who will do this. We should be in dia logue with them and they should know our feelings, whatever those feelings may be.

The effects of student debt and military assault vehicle purchases

I am an old school guy. I was taught about what was good and right. I have done my best to live by those tenets each day. Growing up during a time when standards were in place gave us a founda tion. Veering away from established norms was problematic and would cause us trouble. We had people that we observed every day who gave us a path to follow. As Black children com ing of age, there were cer tain things that we had to do. There were no excuses or shortcuts. For starters, our parents told us that we represented the household. In other words, we repre sented them. On countless occasions, they told us not to get into trouble. In fact, my dad told me if I was involved in police activity not to call him. As I reflect now, that statement scared me then and made me think about the consequences of my actions. I was scared straight before any nation al program with the same name came into existence.

I believe what happened to me in child hood followed me into adulthood.Nowtoday is a bit dif ferent in my opinion. The importance of school for some is not what it was. Multiple factors have con tributed to this decline in reading, writing and arith metic. Again, my thinking is there are not enough community ambassadors pushing the importance of school as a way for a better quality of Teacherslife. are undervalued and under-paid. College graduates in some states don’t need to take a national standardized ex amination in order to be come certified. According to reports, a prospective teacher does not have to take the Praxis test in Ari zona, Florida, Illinois and Michigan. Each state has instituted its own licensure requirements. I suspect more states will follow thisBackexample.inthe day, I took the National Teachers Ex amination (NTE) in order to gain a teaching position. School systems must place qualified people in front of children for them to learn. Just think, you would not go to a dentist, lawyer or surgeon who had not passed the required exami nation.Are children today getting the message from their parents that they represent the household? I believe most of them are, yet some would dis agree with my assertion. Carjackings, guns being brought to school, and assaults are all associ ated with today’s youth. For example, reports say that in Minneapolis there were 405 carjackings last year. Many of the suspects were between the ages of 11 and 17. Other cities like Louisville, Kentucky, and Kansas City, Missouri, have also seen carjackings on the rise. We hear and read about carjackings by young people almost on an everyday basis. Some of these crimes have resulted in people dying. Lives are ruined for ever because of poor de cisions. Earlier this year, Tariq Majeed was robbed of his vehicle in Washing ton, D.C. Fortunately, the police came quickly and recovered it. Mr. Majeed said, “I honestly believe it’s a game. Stolen cars used to be stripped down, with the parts sold for cash.” He added, “Now people are carjacked and the cars are often found afterward, crashed or just left on the street.” I think we ought to try some lessons from the old school.Ibelieve they will help.

I recently talked with Raven Jackson of Iinspire Beauty about one of her services. “I call it ‘booti ful,’” said Raven as we laughed out loud. “A lot of people that get that ser vice have issues with skin texture,” she said. To keep your backside smooth and ‘bootiful,’ Raven uses a treatment called micro dermabrasion. “The same way sandpaper smooths wood, my treatments do the same for your skin. Microdermabrasion reju venates the skin,” said Ra ven.Raven steams, hy drates, and masks the area as well. It also comes with a massage “and people love it!

The Winston-Salem Street School (WSSS) is set to begin its 19th year of serving at-risk high school students in our commu nity, but needs a little help. On Monday, Aug. 22, WSSS will open its doors to a record number of students. The unique program that offers alter native educational options has experienced a tremen dous growth over the last few years and expects to start the year at full capac ity of 60 high school stu dents and 30 adult online program students. Being a private school that charges no tuition and receives no state or federal operational funding, the Street School relies on contributions and support from individuals, businesses, churches, and foundations to provide opportunities for students to earn an accredited di ploma.The Street School also depends on the generos ity of many to provide lunch for its students dur ing the school day. Over the last few years, civic groups, the faith commu nity, and area businesses have stepped up to make sure the program’s stu dents have a delicious, fill ing meal to help get them through the day. Unfortu nately, sign-ups to cover meals for the upcoming year have been a little slow. The Street School is hopeful that the commu nity will once again show up in a big way to make sure that the lunch sched ule is filled every day. The school asks that volunteers plan to serve 60 students. There is an option to pro vide and serve or just pro vide the meals. The signup process is simple and all details can be found here:

It helps with fine lines and wrin kles, producing collagen in the skin to keep it firm and looking youthful.” She added that she uses a mask that has Botox prop erties in it, which tightens the skin. “As it’s drying, you’ll feel your skin kind of pulsating,” said Raven. “I believe beauty starts within, so it’s important for me to help my clients feel comfortable with themselves.” Raven said her mother, Simply Marv alas, who is a well-known hair stylist, laid down the foundation for her to suc ceed. “She always taught me to take care of my skin.

Because of a big fight between parents prior to the preliminary round of the boys 100-meter dash, all of the athletes were automati cally placed into the semifinals. The problem was they only took the top eight fastest finishers to move onto the finals, which put a lot of pressure on Hughes. “When I ran in the semifinals, I was going in a little nervous be cause they only took top eight to go to the finals,” Hughes Jr. said. “I was like I had to go out there and run my hardest, in the semifi nals, just to make sure my spot is secured for the finals.”

Summer is coming to an end and the daily high temperatures are dropping, which means only one thing: It’s time for some football. As we wrap up the preseason, millions of Americans are finalizing their rankings for the upcoming fantasy football leagues, which is becoming one of the most popular games in the country.Asof August 2021, there were 40 million people around the country playing fantasy football. It seems that everywhere you look, you will see people playing fantasy football. And for many fans, they are involved in multiple leagues at the same time. A while back I wrote a column about the popu larity of fantasy football and how it has brought in a different demographic of fans. At that time, I really didn’t realize just how many people were actually interested in fan tasy football. It prompted me to dig a little deeper into the history of fantasy football and who is play ing it Fantasynowadays.football was actually created back in 1962 by Bill Winkenback, who was part owner of the Oakland Raiders, Scotty Stirling and George Ross. Apparently Winkenback got together with Stirling and Ross in a New York City hotel and created the first fantasy football league way back then. It was called the Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League (GOPPPL) and had eight teams. At that time there were two football leagues, the NFL and the AFL (Ameri can Football League), which was a rival profes sional football league that merged with the NFL in 1970. The men “drafted” players from both leagues and accrued points based on their performance. Es sentially that is the same format that we follow to thisInday.1969, one of the members of the GOPPPL, Andy Mousalimas, told some people at a sports bar about the league and several other local leagues sprung up sole ly from that conversa tion. Twenty years later, there were over a million people around the coun try playing fantasy foot ball. Thankfully, with the creation of the internet, things changed drastically BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THETheCHRONICLEMt.Tabor varsity football team kicked off their 2022 campaign with a dominant 45-7 victory over Richmond County. The win, the first by a Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school against the Raiders, avenges their loss against Richmond County last season. Defense has always been a staple for the Spartans and it seems the defense is clicking early in the season.

For the finals, Hughes Jr. and the runners in his age group had to endure a weather delay for more than an hour. Hughes Sr. was a lit tle upset at how officials handled the “Iathletes.hada lot of concerns and as a matter of fact, I was heated,” said Hughes Sr. about how officials handled the weather delay. “He had warmed up real good and was ready to go and then the weather delay came, and they didn’t re lease the “Thesekids.kids were out there with spikes, tank tops and shorts, ready to run and they took them to an air-conditioned room. That’s one of the worst things you can do when you’re getting ready to run is to sit in a room with a/c, so them guys were in there for like an hour. I was hopeful he could just come out and still run and not get hurt, because that was my main con cern.” Hughes Jr. said he was nervous about sitting in the air-conditioned room after warming up so well. During the delay, he was just try ing to stay as loose as possible and not get tight. Hughes Jr. says he was so focused on the race that

Antwan Hughes Jr. did just that as he concluded his 2022 outdoor season with an AAU Junior Olym pic championship and a personal best time earlier this month Hughes won the 15-16-yearold age group with a time of 10.48 seconds. Hughes’ times have been dropping over the last six weeks, so he felt this race was the perfect time for him to drop a new PR (personal record). “I was feeling good and I want to say about a week or two before, I had run at the Russell Blunt [East Coast Invitational track meet] and I had ran 10.5 [in the 100 meter dash] again and 21.6 [in the 200 meter dash], so I was going into JO’s (Junior Olympics) pretty confident,” said Hughes Jr. about his mindset heading into the Ju nior Olympics. “I went in with the mindset that I was going to win the 100. I just knew it, I don’t know why, but I knew I was going to win.” Antwan Hughes Sr., Hughes Jr.’s father and track coach, says his son has been gearing up to run a fast time for the last several weeks and that it wasn’t a surprise for him to drop a great time con sidering the work he has put in recently.“Wehad to balance the two be tween football and track, because he had football practice during the normal time we would have AAU practice, so we were having to go out in the heat of the day right at 2 o’clock and put some work in,” Hughes Sr. said. “We were just getting a lot of work in and his training partner Justin Miles ran with us this past summer, so they were training together. “It was just some hardcore good work, man. Both he and Jus tin were locked in that they wanted to PR at the JO’s and we had al ready talked about what it was go ing to take to win. The goal was to go 10.4, so that’s what we were training to do.”

Scriptures: Revelation 22:10-21 By the end of this lesson, we will: *Survey the biblical references to the “second com ing” in order to see the importance of this hoped-for reality;*Rejoice that the invitation from Jesus to be a part of the new creation continues through the end of all things;*Embrace the call to become a part of God’s king dom. Background: The last verse of the last book of the Old Testament ends with a final warning and contains a curse: “Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse (Malachi 4:6). In the book of Revelation Jesus says “I am coming” seven times and the emphasis is that it will be “quickly” – suddenly without warning. But the last word of the last book of the New Testament speaks of grace, because grace describes God’s dealing with man 400 years after the Old Testament on the basis of the New Covenant. Lesson: Christ Is Coming Certainly and Quickly (Revelation 22:10-11). “… Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand” (verse 10). Previous prophecies in the Old Testament were sealed. Daniel is told to keep his prophecies a secret un til the time of the end (Daniel 12:4). John, however, is told not to seal the prophecies, but to proclaim them so that they can produce obedience and worship because the time of their fulfillment is near. “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; … and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; …” (verse 11). Prophecy has a dual effect depending on one’s response. Those who reject God’s warnings will harden their adherence to evil and will fix their eternal destiny in hell. Those who respond to the warning - the already righteous - will fix their eternal destiny in glory and realize perfect righ teousness and holiness in heaven. Christ Is Coming as King and Lord (verses 12-16). “And behold, I am coming quickly; … (verse 12a). There is a note of urgency and warning - the message is to be ready. “… and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done” (verse 12b). The reward spoken of depends on the works which sur vive God’s testing fire and have eternal value and are worthy of reward. It is a fundamental alignment of a person’s life as evidenced by their deeds. (See Isaiah 40:10.) “I am Alpha and Omega, …” (verse 13a). Christ is the supreme, sovereign alphabet. There is nothing outside His knowledge. In chapter 1 God is Alpha and Omega, but here Christ is Alpha and Omega, proof of His deity. “… the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” (verse 13b). (See Isaiah 41:4.) “Blessed are they that do His commandments …” (verse 14a). Doing His commandments does not earn us eternal life – it sig nifies those who have been forgiven of their sins – and is evidence that we have been granted eternal life. “… and may enter in through the gates into the city.” (verse 14b). “For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whore mongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie” (verse 15). Those remaining outside of Jerusalem are those who refused to respond to the warnings given before. Dogs may include the four-legged kind, but most likely refers to those with unclean and disgusting habits or anyone of low moral character. “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches …” (verse 16a). The seven churches of Asia Minor were the original recipi ents of the book.

I recently read a Max Lucado devotion about things that take lots of time during the course of our lives. During your life time, you will have spent a cumulative six months at stoplights, waiting for the light to turn green. You will have spent eight months opening junk mail and a year and a half search ing for things around the house. Here is the kicker: you will have spent five years waiting in lines. None of these require a great deal of thought. It is just time you can never recover and opportunities lost for doing something productive with that time. And how about this: the average American spends 5.4 hours a day on their computer and cell phone. Max Lucado asks the question: “Why don’t you give these moments to God?” These are oppor tune times to speak to God through prayer. It doesn’t have to be long, drawn-out prayers. It can be simple thoughts like, “Thank you, God, for helping me through that situation,” or “Be with me today, Lord.” It could be a quick prayer for someone sick or having a tough time. It could be a simple, one or two-sen tence prayer for someone in need. It could be, “Lord, show me what you want me to do in this situation.”

See Jesus on B6

Communicate those nervous thoughts through frequent prayer as you sit in traffic or wait in line. Use those moments to be “GodConsidermoments.”this:If you were sitting in a car at the stoplight with your best friend in the passenger seat, you would be talking continually. You probably wouldn’t be sitting in si lence. You might be shar ing thoughts or solving problems that are bother ing you. Actually, God is in the car with you and He is with you in the line at the grocery store or bank. He is listening. God de sires communication with you so that He can be part of your life. Keep the lines of communication open all the time with your Heav enlyJustFather.asyou might thank your best friend for helping you through a situation, take the opportunity to thank God for what He has done in your life. Spend as much time thanking God for how He has blessed you as you make your re quests known to Him. He may even help you find what you are looking for in the house by placing a thought in your mind. God desires the everyday, fre quent interaction so that He can guide you through out the Theday.Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. “Re joice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Je sus” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). The stoplight is a good place to start as you look for God’s green light. Bruce Boyer lives in Kernersville and is the author of two devotional books and writes a weekly devotional email.

And who soever will, let him take the water of life freely” (verse 17). The threefold “come” is an invitation to people to come and drink the water of life. It is an unlimited offer of grace and salvation to all who desire to have their thirsty souls quenched. “What the Spirit says is also the voice of the church as the church should be.” (John Barton and John Muddi man.) Verses 18 and 19 are warnings to preserve the integrity of the book. There were false prophets and their followers whom John’s prophecy would be highly unpopular. Any one who tampers with the truth by attempting to falsify, mitigate, alter, or misinterpret it will incur the judgments described in these verses. “… Surely I come quickly…” (verse 20). Christ will return to take His church out of the hour of trial. Readi ness and watchfulness are what Revelation stresses. John’s response, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus,” was his solemn acceptance of Jesus’ word “Amen” and prayer for His coming. “The grace of our Lord Je sus Christ be with you all. Amen” (verse 21). “It is a good word for the close of this marvelous picture of God’s gracious provision for His people in earth and heaven.” (Robertson).

because everyone could access the statistics quick ly, which led us to where we are Overtoday.the last 20 years the game has continued to grow in popularity and ease. You can find a fan tasy football league just about anywhere. Many die-hard NFL fans play fantasy football every year; however, what I have noticed is that there are more and more casual fans playing fantasy football. Not only are friends and family members play ing fantasy football, but it’s also being played by people in workplaces, fan groups and even strang ers. The NFL has done a great job of publicizing fantasy football in recent years. There are websites and even television shows that focus only on fantasy football.Thegreatest thing that fantasy football has done for the NFL is it has made every game important. People who are involved in fantasy football not only have to pay attention to their team, they also have to watch what’s going on with the other games in volving players in their fantasy league. All of that translates into more viewership of the games and more mon ey for the NFL, which is a genius move. Fantasy football causes people to take note of the NFL nearly year-round, because people are always looking for a leg up in preparation for the next league year.

Free agency, the NFL draft, and trades between teams are all things that people pay more attention to now, because where a player goes really deter mines their fantasy foot ball value. In essence, there really isn’t any down time to fantasy football. Things like the Red Zone channel basically caters to fantasy football fans. Those who don’t want to watch an entire game can just watch the RedZone channel, which focuses on scoring plays, to get real time updates on nearly every player in the league. Once again, this is another money-making move by the NFL and it was mostly based upon fantasy football, which shows how impactful it has Sportsbecome.betting has also been impacted greatly by fantasy football. Sites such as FanDuel and DraftK ings have become ex tremely popular. On those sites, instead of having a season-long fantasy team, you can place a bet and set a team just for the up coming week. You can also make situational bets, like what team scores first or who will catch the first pass in a game. All are en ticing to the sports fan and the average better. In the years to come, I see fantasy football continuing to increase in popularity with the aver age fan, which will in turn make him/her an intense fan over time. This is one of the ways that the NFL will continue to be the No. 1 sport in America. I, myself have be come quite addicted to fantasy football. I am an avid sports fan and former athlete, so this allows me to stay closer to the game. I already follow player movement and pay close attention to NFL rumors, but playing fantasy foot ball makes me feel almost like a general manager of a franchise.There is a lot of strat egy involved in playing. You have to make sure you pay attention to the rules of the game, especially pertaining to the league rules and roster position. For instance, some leagues have two quarterback or three wide receiver posi tions in the starting lineup, which will alter how you draft and set your bench. Also, the fact that many leagues involve a cash payout makes it more entertaining because the possibility of winning a couple hundred bucks is very attractive. But that also means you will have to maintain your teams closely by setting your starting lineup based on that player’s opponent the next week, staying up to date on injury status, knowing the weather for the game and even know ing what players are on your opponent’s team and who they are playing that week as Plainwell.and simple, it’s just a fun way to dive deeper into the NFL and I highly recommend it to everyone, especially the novice fan who wants to gain more knowledge about the sport.

For Your Consid eration: Jesus said I am coming seven times in Revelation. What then is now required of believers in light of this future ex pectation? Should we as saints of God think “apoc alypse“ when reading the book of Revelation? Application: What ever confusion you might feel about religion, don’t miss God’s gracious of fer: Jesus wants to forgive your sins and welcome you into a new life. If you haven’t already accepted His invitation, do it now. Choose this moment to be gin the journey that leads to eternal life.
