After All Disappointments In MyLife My Dreams Are Coming TrueStory By Sydney Connor BowmanJane` s decision to change Fiddler` s Cove Grill toHurricane Jane` s began when she went to the beach.Her original plan was to rent a building at the beachand open a restaurant there. She was very indecisiveabout a name. Then, one day by coincidence, she waswalking down the street and spotted a restaurantcalled Hurricane Jack` s. She began to think to her-

self, " well,i wonder ifI could justchangeJack` s toJane` s ? "and that iswhere thename of herrestaurantwas cre-ated. But,of

course, she had to first go home and confronther family about her new idea. They absolutelyadored it. Dreadfully, Jane and her family couldnot continue there dream of opening a restaurantat the beach because of the unsuitable economy.They were not just going to give up on theredream though. So, their other option was tochange Fiddler` s Cove Grill to HurricaneJane` s. Jane had to comprehend many things

before just opening this new restaurant. She

wanted Hurricane Jane` s to be more success-ful than her previous restaurant. She is not say-ing that Fiddler` s Cove Grill was unsuccess-ful, it just had its flaws as does every restaurant.She knew that already running a restaurant withflaws, she could improve her second restaurant byavoiding the mistakes she had made before. The firstchange she wanted was to change the overall atmos-

phere. She does not want there to be as much alcohol.Yes, she is going to still serve alcohol, but she doesn't

wantpeople

getting as"over-

board" asthey had

before.Shewantsyoungchildren

and older adults to feel comfortable. Now, for thephysical changes of the restaurant. She wants her res-taurant to have a beach theme. Edi Smith,( the owner

ofMasten` s Music and Art Store, located at down-

town Lib-erty ),is doingthe paintingfor the exte-rior of Hurri-cane Jane` s,and for theinterior,MeganClapp. Also,accompanying

Idi and Meganare two boys that attend Eastern Randolph HighSchool. They are doing a palm tree graffiti on one ofthe side walls outside. Another big feature added wasa miniature waterfall located outside. American Aq-uascapes in Burlington added this for them. Not, nec-essarily a major feature added but an interesting one isthe big flower pots added to the front of the building.

Now, you are probably asking yourself, " how is thatinteresting ?" well, they actually are not flower pots atall. They are sewage pipes that she got and her hus-

band fixed them to look like lower pots. I t is becom-ing diffi-cult for herto get themthough

becauseafter thetown heardwhat shedid withthem, theynow want

them.Probablythe biggestchange of

all takes place in the game room. This change washard for Jane and it is disappointing for some cos-tumers, but she is happy that she has decided to dothis. She is taking out the pool tables and she is mak-ing the game room to a shag room. This room will befor all ages. She is going to hire someone to give les-sons and she hopes it will be an overall success. Un-fortunately, no alcohol is going to be allowed back

there. This restaurant has been an overall turning pointin her life. Over the past two years, she has facedmany troubling situations. She has even faced death.For a moment in her life she lost her belief in peoplehaving true friends. Her opening this restaurant hasmade her realize that no matter how bad things mightseem things can, and will change for the best.Throughout her experience with opening this restau-rant she has realized true friends are out there. But,dont just take my word for this, go find out for your-self and i hope that you enjoy the change as much as I.

Grant ProcessCome See What Happening

So What Is This Freedom FamilyChurchI asked this questions to Pastor Randy Hand and this is hisreply.Hi... I'm glad YOU'VE chosen to learn more about FreedomFamily. In the next few paragraph's you'll get to see theHEART of our church. I'm often asked, "WHY ANOTHERCHURCH?" or more specifically "WHY ANOTHERCHURCH IN THE LIBERTY AREA?... we already have like50!" Well, if you've seen our logo around, it includes our

motto: "A Church for the REST of us". That begins to explainwhy we've started another church. You see, I've found that60% of people aren't welcome in the average church. Theydon't have the "uniform" (suit, tie, dress and "christian hair"),they don't know the "lingo" (What in the wild world of sportsdoes "righteousness" mean anyway?), and can't understand themusic (Just what is an "Ebenezer" and why should I raise it?)!Well, Freedom Family Church (FFC) is different. We don'tcare what you wear, we don't speak "Christianese" and oursongs are written in language anyone can understand withtunes you might just catch yourself humming all through theweek! We have a Coffee Bar to perk you up and a food spread

that will keep you from getting hungry during the message. Wehave Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics that attend as well asSchool Teachers, Truck Drivers, Government Workers, Bank-ers and Gas Station Attendants. As you can tell, we're just ordi-nary folk trying to serve an extraordinary God. Our babies,kids and students are loud & proud and we don't care if theyinterrupt our meetings. Does this sound like a place you couldfeel comfortable at? GOOD! Our services are at 8:30 am and10:30 am and we are located at 510-A N Greensboro St in Lib-erty (behind the Fidelity Bank and beside Liberty Drug). If youhave ANY questions, feel free to call me at (336) 260-4516 oryou can email me personally at [email protected] to see you soon.

Freedom Family Church is located at 510A North GreensboroStreet in Liberty. The building is located beside Liberty Drugand near Fidelity Bank. They offer two services at 8:30am and10:30am. They have great opportunities for the entire familyfrom nursery, to kids, to students, to ladies, to men and thewhole family. Stop in and give them a visit. See what all theexcitement is about. You will truly see what God is doing inLiberty at this great church.

A Father's Day DevotionalA seminary professor was vacationing with his wife in Gatlinburg, TN.One morning, they were eating breakfast at little restaurant, hoping to en-

joy a quiet, family meal. While they were waiting for their food,they noticed a distinguished looking, white-haired man moving from tableto table, visiting with the guests. The professor leaned over and whisperedto his wife, "I hope he doesn't come over here." But sure enough,the man did come over to their table. "Where are you folks from?" heasked in a friendly voice. "Oklahoma," they answered. "Great to have youhere in Tennessee." the stranger said. "What do you do for a living?""I teach at a seminary," he replied. "Oh, so you teach preachers how to

preach, do you? Well, I've got a really great story for you." And withthat, the gentleman pulled up a chair and sat down at the table with thecouple. The professor groaned and thought to himself, "Great... Just what Ineed... another preacher story!" The man started, "See that mountain overthere? (pointing out the restaurant window). Not far from the

base of that mountain, there was a boy born to an unwed mother. He had ahard time growing up, because every place he went, he was always askedthe same question, 'Hey boy, Who's your daddy?' Whether hewas at school, in the grocery store or drug store, people would ask thesame question, 'Who's your daddy?' He would hide at recess and lunchtimefrom other students. He would avoid going in to stores because thatquestion hurt him so bad. When he was about 12 years old, a new preacher

came to his church. He would always go in late and slip out early to avoidhearing the question, 'Who's your daddy? But one day, thenew preacher said the benediction so fast he got caught and had to walkout with the crowd. Just about the time he got to the back door, the new

preacher, not knowing anything about him, put his hand on his shoulderand asked him, 'Son, who's your daddy?' The whole church got deathlyquiet. He could feel every eye in the church looking at h im. Now everyonewould finally know the answer to the question, 'Who's your daddy'. Thisnew preacher, though, sensed the situation around him and using discern-ment that only the Holy Spirit could give, said the following to that scaredlittle boy... "'Wait a minute!' he said. 'I know who you are. I see the familyresemblance now. You are a child of God.' With that he patted the boy on

his shoulder and said, 'Boy, you've got a great inheritance. Go and claim it.'With that, the boy smiled for the first time in a long time and walked outthe door a changed person. He was never the same again. Whenever any-

body asked him, 'Who's your Daddy?' he'd just tell them, 'I'm a Child ofGod'." The distinguished gentleman got up from the table and said, "Isn'tthat a great story?" The professor responded that it really was a great story!As the man turned to leave, he said, "You know if that new preacher hadn'ttold me that I was one of God's children, I probably never would haveamounted to anything!" And he walked away. The seminary professor andhis wife were stunned. He called the waitress over and asked her, "Do youknow who that man was who just left that was sitting at our table?" Thewaitress grinned and said, "Of course. Everybody here knows him. That'sBen Hooper. He's the formergovernor of Tennessee!" Someone in your life today needs a reminder thatthey're one of God's children!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY FROM LIBERTY LEADER

Randolph HospitalCommunity HealthFoundation ChangesGrant Cycle andGiving Focus AreasThe Randolph Hospital CommunityHealth Foundation recently an-nounced it will not be issuing 2011grant applications until later this Fall

due to a decision by the Board ofDirectors to revaluate the grant dis-tribution cycle as well as identify amore specific area of focus for grantapplications. Traditionally, theRandolph Hospital CommunityHealth Foundation considers grantapplications from community organi-zations whose programs share thefollowing health and wellness goals,with particular emphasis on promo-tion of good health, health education,

disease and injury prevention as wellas opportunities for improved accessto health service for those who areunderserved. In past years grant ap-

plications were issued in early springwith a formal announcement made in

November. The decision to changeour grant cycle and to narrow our grant focus on specificissues came as an action item from our strategic plansession. notes April Thornton, Director of Public Rela-tions and Development. We recognized that after 15years of existence and the state of the current economy,

we needed to review how we distributed our grant dollarsand how we can narrow our focus to make those fundsthe most effective for community organizations. Whilethe Board has not finalized the key focus areas and time-line, all past and current grant recipients will be notifiedregarding the most recent changes in a personal letter. Inaddition, an announcement will be posted on the Founda-tions website. The Board expects to make a final decisionregarding the key focus areas and grant cycle timeline atthe September board meeting with a formal announce-ment going out later that month. We know this changewill have an impact on many community organizationswho have relied on us for grant funding, and while we

don't discount that, we believe if we focus on specificareas instead of one broad area we will be able to make agreater impact within our community, states Thornton.The Randolph Hospital Community Health Foundation

provides a focused, tax-deductible route for individualsand corporations to give to our community's healthneeds. Founded in 1995, the Randolph CommunityHealth Foundation uses these contributions to improvehealth and wellness for the

people of Randolph County byoffering grants to RandolphHospital and other community

organizations. Contributions tothe Foundation have been avaluable part of the Founda-tions ability to award over halfa million dollars in grants overthe last 13 years.

Your Favorite Garden Tip:Do not throw away your old umbrella, instead re-cycle it as a scarecrow in your garden. Tie alumi-num cans to the spokes of the umbrella and put inthe garden. After the season fold up and store inthe building for next. Idea from Elsie Hicks.

Local girls receive girl

Scout GOLD AwardGirl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont Coun-cil has awarded 153 girls with the highestachievement a Girl Scout can earn- the GirlScout Gold Award. The following RandolphCounty Girl Scouts have earned the GoldAward.Jessica Harris, Troop 40037, designed, imple-mented and created a clothes storage area for

Balfour Elementary School. This school wasthe only one in the Asheboro school district thatdid not have an organized way to store clothingfor elementary-aged students. With the help ofseveral organizations, she was able to collect allkinds of clothing. She then washed, dried andfolded the clothes and made the storage areaready for children to use in case of an emer-gency.Maria Richardson, Troop 40878, planned anddirected the vacation bible school at FlagSprings United Methodist Church of Asheboro.

Richardson had to create her program based onthe theme of sports that she chose. She loggednearly 100 hours in planning, arranging, creat-ing and involving others in the project.The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest

earned award for Girl Scoutsgrades 9-12. The Girl ScoutGold Award follows in thefootsteps of the Golden Ea-glet, First Class and CurvedBar awards previously thehighest awards in Girl Scout-ing. It is a reflection of thededication and determinationof each recipient. After theminimum requirements arecompleted, the Gold Award

project is the culmination of a girl's demonstra-tion of self-discipline, leadership ability, timemanagement, creativity, initiative and a signifi-cant mastery of skills. Each girl must dedicate aminimum of 65 hours to planning and imple-menting her project, which must benefit thecommunity and have long lasting impact. It isquite an accomplishment to be one of 150 girls

in western and central North Carolina who earnthis distinguished award, said Gayle Rose,vice president of membership/adult learn-ing/program and property. These girls have

pursued a personal passion and are leaving aGirl Scout legacy that meets a need within theircommunity. They have also gained valuableleadership skills that will last them a lifetime.Many colleges look at the Girl Scout GoldAward as an important criterion for collegeadmission, financial assistance and scholar-ships. Through hard work and determination,

this years recipients were able to donate aminimum of 9,945 hours of service within theircommunities throughout western and central

Located on the Eastern ContinentalDivide in Northwestern NorthCarolina is Sparta, a town of 1,800

people. Sparta was named after theGreek City-State of the same name.Originally settled by small farmerswho came to town on Saturdays to

purchase goods from general stores,Sparta is now home to industry, including Dr. Grabow

pipes. Perhaps its most famous citizen was RobertDoughton who served in Congress from 1910 to 1953,was chairman of the House Ways and Means Committeefor 20 years and helped found the Social Security Systemand championed the Blue Ridge Parkway. Sparta resi-dents are now excited about the new 10,000 piece teapotcollection donated by the Kamm family and the new mu-seum they hope will attract visitors to their beautifulmountain home.

At The WellAt the center of the Village is adeep well of life-giving waterwhere the townspeople meet. Asthey draw water their voices blendin the culture, society and wisdomthat they share. Each month meethere at the well to hear those voices. Graduation is one ofthe few ritual rite of passage ceremonies left in our cul-ture. It marks a line in the sand from what you are today to

pave the way or to commence toward the next part ofyour life. From unlearned to learned, the fruits of our la-

bor manifest as we step off the stage with diploma in hand.In our family, a tradition began almost without notice.When I graduated, my grandmother, Granna, pressed mygraduation gown. I sat on a pillow on the floor andwatched as she shifted and moved the wrinkled fabric,creating smooth, even folds. As she ironed, she spoke,smoothing the wrinkled fears of my future. I loved thattime. She had ironed my mothers gown as well, unknow-ingly beginning the tradition. This year she irons my

daughters gown. As I silently enter the room, I am unno-ticed. So intent and focused is the group in this room. Itseems that my daughter has brought along two graduatingfriends who also need gowns pressed. The wrinkled fabricshifts and glides as Grandmother speaks. Her movementsare identical to times past, though her body more bent, andher hair more silver. But her words carry that sameweight, certainty and intensity. The young ones sit on

pillows, the cycle of tradition, of renewal, repeating beforemy eyes. Grannas words are spoken from wisdom andexperience. She knows that life teaches us using everymoment. Her experiences constantly deepen her and the

gown pressing talks are never the sameyes, you havebeen learning and building knowledge in your minds shewas in mid-sentence when I entered, but have you sat stilland truly examined your mind?, she asks no one. Ninety-nine percent of your thoughts are totally repetitive and themind pretends that theyre really SERIOUS this time. Youhave reached graduation by studying, learning, memoriz-ing and regurgitating information. Now you know whateverybody else knows. Now you can be what everybodyelse will be OR!!, she blurts out loudly, causing everybodyto jump, you can be different, you can be yourself andlive your lifes purpose! Everybody waited. Be present,

be still, be in every moment of your life. Become alive.The past is NOT you. That is your story. We have someterrible stories, some of us. We tell them, we re-live them,we repeat them over and over again. The mind-chatterrepeating what we have done or not done or what was doneto usremember that 99% of your thoughts are repetitive?How can we live now if were busy identifying with and

being who our story paints us (over and over) to be?You are not your story. The future is built with bricks ofeach present moment. Pull your attention to exactly whereyou are. Look at it. Hear it. Be present with your senses.

Dont THINK a feeling. Get out of your head. Begin tofeel and notice spaces between words. Know stillness.Thought cannot notice stillness-thought is noise. Beinglike others is following the stream of mind chatter to a fateand destiny of living a used story of the past, with medioc-rity. When the mental noise becomes uncomfortable,

we turn on outer noise around us, to cover it up. Turneverything off and be still! Sense longer and longerspaces of comfortable silence. She stopped speaking fora moment. My mind waited for her next word. Then Inoticed my mind having a sort of argument WITH ME inmy head. It was explaining how no, theres no chatter inmy head and besides I dont turn on the TV and radio fornoise, I only want it for the news! Oh my gosh, I realized,my mind is chattering and being exactly like she had said.

No silence, no stillness, but noisy and chattery thoughts.The gowns were pressed and freshly hanging. The gradu-ates stood. Receiving their gowns, a smile and a hug they

walked away toward a future that would be more alive andmore present with a useful tool to make it happen. Theseyoung ones would not be like everyone else, and neitherwould I, I decided. If Granna could continue to learn andlive life in each present moment with fresh realizations toshare with new generations; then so could I. Be still andknowWant to comment on this story...or have an idea for at thewell? Drop us a line [email protected]

Never disappointedEvery day I call to you, my God, but, you do not answer. Every nightyou hear my voice, but I find no relief. Yet you are holy. The praisesof Israel surround your throne. Our ancestors trusted in you, and yourescued them. You heard their cries for help and saved them. They puttheir trust in you and were never disappointed.

Psalm 22:2-5 NLT

The fugitive translatorWilliam Tyndale was born about 1494 and educated first at Oxford,where he was ordained into the priesthood, then at Cambridge, where he

joined the Reformation. He became convinced that England would neverbe evangelized using Latin Bibles. Tyndale's efforts to get permission totranslate the Bible into English were unsuccessful, so he left England.His first English New Testament was printed in Germany in 1525. AsTyndale's English Bibles were smuggled into England, the archbishop ofCanterbury and the bishop of London began attacking him fiercely. OnJune 18, 1528 Thomas Wolsey, the English cardinal, ordered Tyndale'sarrest and extradition to England. It took seven years to track him down,then spent eighteen months in a cold castle dungeon. Tyndale, in his early

forties, was found guilty and condemned to death as a heretic. Referringto the king's opposition to his English Bible, Tyndale said, "Lord, openthe king of England's eyes." The year that Tyndale died, there were twoEnglish Bibles containing his translation of the New Testament. When

presented to Henry VIII, the king, not realizing it contained Tyndale'swork, proclaimed, "In God's name let it go abroad among the people."Tyndale's Bible translations were his lasting legacy. They were so welldone that they made up 90 percent of the wording of the King James Ver-sion published nearly one hundred years later.

HABITAT UPDATELiberty Home #3

Work is deliberate and plodding on the thirdHabitat home in Liberty. Currently, there aretwo Habitat homes under construction in thecity of Asheboro, causing the recourses and manpower to be spread among the three worksites.Most work on the Liberty site is accomplished by the V0-Tec students from Eastern Randolph highschool and entails about twenty students working two hour stints, three days per week. Addition-ally a small six person work crew of volunteers and Habitat supervisors work on the second andfourth Wednesdays. The roofing has been completed and now work is progressing on the hardie

board siding installation. Earlier, Mr. Ander Walker of Walker Commercial/Residential Plumbingdid all rough in plumbing and installed the sewer and water lines to the Liberty home at a signifi-cant discount. Additionally, Mr. Walker has corrected some plumbing issues at one of the Asheborohomes under construction. Habitat thanks Mr. Walker for his excellent work on these projects. Ananonymous donor has paid for the Wednesday Habitat crew to enjoy a sit down lunches at Hurri-cane Janes (formerly Fiddlers cove), but the Langley Sisters (Linda McManus, Hilda McMasters,and Marie Meacham) provided a wonderful lunch on May 26 at the job site. The Wednesday workcrew would welcome any group or individual to furnish lunch at any convenient time for the donor.The balance of the work is in the local and Asheboro Habitat workers, and YOUR ASSISTANCE iswelcome! Whether you have no experience or much knowledge in the building trade.we needYOU to offer whatever level of help you can offer. Work will be ongoing the second and fourthWednesdays each month. Just show up at 8:30 AM on any of these dayssafety gear and any toolsyou might need are furnished along with lunch prepared by local churches, individuals and busi-

nesses. If you or your church group feels you can donate some time (or money) this last Habitathome (for now) in Liberty, call Rodney Overcash at 336-953-2929. More later, Tom Meacham,local Habitat volunteer.

Liberty Elementary SchoolImpacts RELAY FOR LIFE In Randolph CountyI had the pleasure to set under the Liberty Elementary School tent at this years RELAY FORLIFE. I hate to admit but this was the first time I ever attended one of these events. Trust meafter this experience I will go to each and everyone in the future. This is an eye opening ex-

perience. The event was held out Southwest Randolph High School on the football field. Theentire field was covered with tents of booths that you could play games, set back with friends,enjoy great food, purchase items for sale and the list goes on. A huge silent auction was goingon as well. The kids had an inflatable area and more activities. At the end of the field was themain stage that had great entertainers all night to fill the air with great sounds. Liberty School

had constructed a great banner to carry around the track during the march. (Can be seen inpicture below) The event kicked off with all the cancer survivors from Randolph Countymarching around the track carrying balloons and at the end, all the balloons were released inone big cascade of colors. This opened my eyes, for I say so many people just from our areathat I never knew had battled cancer. As the skies grew dark, the track was lined with white

pages in memory of those that thought a good fight for cancer but did not survive. As all theseluminaires where light the lights were turned off and wow....what a touching sight. This gave

me a better reason on why to support cancer research. All thesurvivors were provided a free meal plus one guest. RELAYFOR LIFE is a remarkable event. Make sure to support itand why not come out support in next years event.

"Know that My Hand is always here wait-

ing patiently for you to embrace It." ...God

The servant's rewardIf the master returns and finds that the servant has done a

good job, there will be a reward. Matthew 24:46 NLT

A day of reward

There are as many ways to look at the return of Jesus asthere are opinions about how it will happen.To the Ro-mans, Paul calls is the "day of God's wrath" (Romans2:5).In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul refers to itas the "day of the Lord" (1 Cor. 5:5). And in his secondletter to the same church he calls it the "day of salvation" (2Cor. 6:2).To the Ephesians he calls it a "day of redemp-tion" (Eph. 4:30). And he encourages the church of Philippito stand strong until the "day of Christ Jesus" (Phil. 1:6).

Jude doesn't even try to describe ithe just calls it the"great Day" (Jude 1:6).

Each of these phrases suggests a unique and differentview.But there's one I like the best. For followers of Je-sus, it will be a day of reward.

James tells us, "God blesses the people who patiently en-dure testing. Afterward they will receive the crown of lifethat God has promised to those who love him: (James1:12).In his second letter to Timothy [Paul says], "Nowthe prize awaits methe crown of righteousness that theLord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day ofhis return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who

eagerly look forward to his glorious return" (4:8).

But it is Jesus himself who puts it best: "Be happy about it!Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven"(Matt. 5:12). As Christians, we have a lot to look forwardto!

The Family Of Ann Cromer would liketo thank each and every one of you

who have sent notes of support, came

to the service, visited at the hospital,sent flowers, sent food, traveled greatdistances, and opened up your heartsto my family during this difficult time.

You are all wonderful people.

Thanks

Mud, Volleyball, Kids Equal FunFreedom Family Church had heads turning last month with agame of mud pit volleyball in Liberty. An outreach designedto just reach the teenagers of the area turned out to be anoutreach for all ages. From a one year girl to seniors, themud was full of fun and fellowship. When I first heard ofmud pit volleyball, I just scratched my head, but learned thisactual is national game and there is competition level for thisgame. Numerous churches provide this for outreach. A spe-cial thanks goes out to Jay Rich that allowed the church touse his field located next to the American Legion Post. ThePost allowed us to use their parking lot to prepare free hot-dogs and refreshments for competitors and spectators. Sohow did this all come about. Youth Minister, Ben Suggs, ofFreedom Family has participated in a event like this before.Well with the help of members, they dug pits filled it with wa-ter and waylay. Before we new the teenagers was in the mudand then the little kids said why cant we. Well the parents saidsure. Then the teenagers started encouraging the adults to jumpin. An event for kids turned out to be a time for the young andold to spend time bonding and having fun. You know, I betGod just looked down and smiled... Look at my children hav-ing fun and enjoying each others company. Sometimes we miss

the simple pleasures around us, that being fellowship. Wellnumerous people stopped to take an up
