Devotional by MinisteriumChurch Calendars and Activities

DevotionalMorsels of Grace

What do you do when your life isall stressed out and things are notgoing to plan? Is it time for a vaca-tion? There was a time in the life ofJesus when things were heating up.He was getting a lot of oppositionfrom the Scribes and the Pharisees.Life was getting intense. In His ownwords, “My hour has not yet come.”There was more for Him to do beforethings got to the point of Him gettingarrested and killed. So He decided itwas time to get out of “Dodge” andHe took His disciples on a road trip.He headed west, all the way to theMediterranean coast, to the far north-west reaches of Israel. Matthew inrecording this event called it the“district of Tyre and Sidon.”(Matthew 15:21

It was in this region that they allmet up with a “Canaanite” woman.

You recall that the Canaanites werethe ancient enemies of Isreal. But shecomes to Jesus for help anyway andmakes her plea, “Have mercy on me,O Lord, Son of David; my daughteris severely oppressed by a demon.”(Matthew 15:23) He gave her the“silent” treatment. We have all beenthere, right? The disciples wantedJesus to “send her away”. Theywere tired of her nagging. And whenthis lady gets down on her knees, shebegged Jesus, “Lord, help me.”

Have you ever begged God forsomething? I believe God enjoyshaving us ask Him for things – phys-ical and spiritual. Think about yourown relationship with your children.Doesn’t it make you feel good whenyour children ask you for things andyou have time to sit down with themand help them figure out morally ifwhat they are asking is going to begood for them or not? Jesus oncepreached, “Which of you, if his sonasks for bread, will give him a stone?Or if he asks for a fish, will give him

a snake? If you, then, though you areevil, know how to give good gifts toyour children, how much more willyour Father in heaven give good giftsto those who ask him!” (Matthew7:9-11)

Again Jesus talks like He doesn’twant to help this woman. He says, “Iwas sent only to the lost sheep of thehouse of Israel…It is not right to takethe children’s bread and toss it totheir dogs.” (Matthew 15:24, 26)This all seems to be out of characterfor Jesus who is usually willing tohelp everyone. Yes, it is true Jesus isthe Bread of Life come down fromheaven for the Children of Israel.Giving His attention to Gentiles (out-siders) would deprive Israel of theministry of the Messiah that has beenlong promised them.

But this woman is not deterred.She says, “Yes, Lord, yet even thedogs eat the crumbs that fall fromtheir masters’ table.” (Matthew15:27) Wow! She is catching Jesus inHis words! She acknowledges His

mission to Israel. She did that firstwith the title – “Son of David”. Butat the same time she is asking if therecould possibly be some leftovers,some scraps off the table where theBread of Life is being served, for thelikes of a Gentile like her. And ofcourse, Jesus applauds her faith: Owoman, great is your faith! Be itdone for you as you desire.”

Yes there are scraps from ourMaster’s table. God’s mercy is bigenough for us all. We have all beenassigned to grace – Israelites orCanaanites; insiders or outsiders;good people or bad people; churchpeople or unchurched people. We areall sinners in need of God’s mercyand forgiveness, which is why Jesuscame in the first place, to be the Sav-ior of all the people – a Savior of theworld. Won’t you ask God for amorsel?

Some 20 years ago…all right 30years ago…well in 1983, I was liv-ing in Kadoka, South Dakota, work-ing in a bank and living with a guywho would become one of my bestfriends.

This is back when living with aguy meant nothing more than havingthe same residence and that was thesituation back then.

My roommate was a rancher byday and had a country band by nightand I always wanted to be a cowboyand a country singer.

Let me tell you from the onset, Iwas a lot better singer than a cowboybut regardless of which of the two Iwas trying to accomplish – it was al-ways entertaining.

I could sing about any GeorgeStrait song, Waylon Jennings, a littleGarth but a pair of boots and all ofthat didn’t make me a cowboy.

I decided to take this cowboy-thing to a branding.

I had lived in Valentine and beento a branding, but this time I wantedto be a cowboy.

We rounded up the cows andcalves and I basically, held the gateor tried to “shoo” either the cow orcalf into the specific corral after sep-arating them.

Not once was I on a horse.I was crestfallen – which is

writer’s lingo for ticked-off.After the cows were separated

from the calves, it was time forbreakfast – this was my first step to-wards getting on a horse that day.

The guy ramrodding (cowboylingo) the outfit was as cowboy asthey come. He got off his horse andstill stood well over six-feet tall.

He had a well-formed cowboyhat, Wranglers, huge hands, chapsand his name was Bernard.

Well, Bernard came over to whereI was sitting and he had a jug ofsomething you drink which doesn’tnormally accompany breakfast – andit wasn’t iced tea.

He took the cap off the bottle andgave it a fling into the fire which wasready for the branding irons.

There were seven or eight of usaround the fire and we passed the jugfrom cowboy hat to cowboy hat untilit was gone.

Bernard calmly said it was nowtime for “breakfast”.

He presented our little group withanother jug and again threw the capinto the fire – but this time he also in-cluded a jug of orange juice. I meanit was early morning for crying outloud.

After we completed the secondjug my confidence was soaring and Iexplained to Bernard how I wouldlove to be a cowboy and actually geton a horse.

He explained back to me that nocity-slicker could get on a horse untillate in the day if he or she was stillstanding upright and most of thework was done.

Sounded fair enough to me andprovided me hope for what was tocome later in the day.

I ended up being a wrestler formost of the day and moved up todoing a little branding just beforelunch with some close supervisionfrom Walt.

Walt was as much of a cowboy asBernard but he was the main “cutter”and brander. He even “cut” one of thecalves with his teeth, which I’m pos-itive was for my entertainment.

We got most of the critters (cow-boy lingo) processed by lunch so myprospects for getting aboard a horsewere looking good.

Lunch resembled breakfast exceptthere were three jugs passed aroundand the orange juice was replaced by7-UP.

For some reason, Bernard hadcalled me Chisolm all morning sowhen we finished lunch he looked at

Wakefield volleyballsquad prepares for seasonby Jason JensenSports Columnist

The Wakefield volleyball squad ishitting practices hard to prepare fortheir season opener when they takethe courts as they travel to competein the Northeast Nebraska Classic onThursday, August 31.

The Trojans come into the seasonwith an inexperienced team lookingto fill a lot of positions. Letter win-ners back from last season’s squadare Rachel Brudigam and JessicaBorg. The ladies look to improve onan 11-16 record from last year. Wake-field will be ready to compete in an

always competitive Lewis and ClarkConference this season. Player, posi-tion, and starting roster will releasedat a later date.

The Trojans will be under thehelm of second year Wakefield coachIris Borg. Borg has also coached fora combined 10 years at Sandhills andFort Calhoun. Assistant coaches areLogan McPhillips and Marti Mc-Queen.

“We have great numbers so I amconfident we will have girls step upand look forward to seeing us de-velop into a competitive team,” saidBorg.

Trojans look to improve record on fieldby Jason JensenSports Columnist

The Wakefield football team,coming off their fourth season ofeight-man football, prepares to hitthe road on Friday, August 25, to kickoff their 2017 season when they facethe Winnebago Indians.

By ruling of the Nebraska StateActivities Association, Wakefield’senrollment is too high to compete ineight-man. The District feels it wouldbe unsafe for the Trojans to competein 11-man football with the low num-ber of athletes that normally playfootball. So, for the fourth season,Wakefield is ineligible to competefor a State Championship in Class Dwith the no playoff ruling. SeniorNoah Lamprecht had this to say,“People would think it’s pretty tough,because you’re not playoff–eligible,but really, it’s football. Football justfun to go out and play every Fridaynight. Our motivation is really going8-0.” (KTIV Channel 4 Sports)

Overall, this Trojan football teamis one of the more experiencedsquads that has returned for quitesome time with a lot of seasonedplayers returning from last season.Several quality players graduated lastyear, so Wakefield has some gaps toplug on both sides of the ball and theTrojans need players to step up andfill the needed positions. “We aregoing to play to our strengths, whichis our experienced Senior and Juniorclasses and hope that they can step upand help some of our younger play-ers adjust to the varsity level,” statedCoach Mike Hassler.

Offensively, Wakefield has a veryexperienced backfield returning withthe duo of Lamprecht and SolomonPeitz. They have been running op-tion football with each other for thepast season and a half. “I think thechemistry they’ve developed in thattime will help our offense out earlyin the season as they are working outsome kinks and trying to gel,” saidHassler. A talented backfield withEsgar Godinez, Dylan Harder, andBlake Heimann will give the Trojansability to rotate and keep guys freshfor a second half advantage.

In a recent interview with KTIVchannel 4, senior Julio Sanchez hadthis to say, “I think we feel prettygood about our new offense because

it is a little quicker-paced now, andeight-man football is a quick-pacedgame. We have some quick guysnow. Our entire team from every sin-gle lineman to back is quick now.”

Israel Gardea, Alex Camarena,and Sanchez are a nice core to buildaround when it comes to the offen-sive line. “Those are three prettygood football players right there.What I need from them is to help outour two new starting guards and helpthem elevate their games. BenChase, Oscar Canizales, and NolanLitchfield are all battling for thoseguard spots and all three have shownus a lot of good things. It all starts upfront with the o-line, if they come to-gether this should be a very potentoffense,” commented Hassler.

The biggest area of improvementwill be on the defensive side of theball. “To be a great defense you haveto be great tacklers, and even more soin the 8-man game. I think it’s anarea we’ve improved on every yearsince the transition, but we’re still notthere. I do think we have group ofguys that wants to be great, but it’sgoing to take a lot of hard work, ef-fort, and heart. We want a fast-ag-gressive defense that is going to playwhistle to whistle. With that comesthe potential for big plays, even gamechanging plays. But that also opensyou up to the possibility of giving upthe big play. We need to have thatnext play mentality and not be abunch of head hangers, I think that isthe part that has held us back the past3 seasons. If we can keep our headsup, I think we can really turn that cor-ner,” Hassler said.

The Trojans are excited to get onthe field and are ready for the Win-nebago matchup on Friday with kick-off at 7:00 p.m. Hassler also had thisto say, “We’re tired of beating oneach other and as coaches we justneed feedback on what we need towork on and there is no better way tofind that out until you’re in a Fridaynight football game. I know the boysare ready to go. We’ve been lookingforward to this week since we startedlifting March 1st. We’re ready toroll.” Wakefield will begin the yearwith three games on the road withtheir home opener on September 15,against area rival Pender.

Salt & Pepper Shakers

Q: At an estate sale, I purchased a set of salt and pepper shak-

ers. What attracted me to them is the fact they are only 2 inches high. The shakers are in the design of a boot with spurs. I paid $5 for them and hope I got a good deal. — Cindy, Lakewood, Colorado

A: Miniature salt and pepper shak-ers have become quite popular

with collectors. I contacted a collector, who believes the set you bought could be worth about $25. You also might get a copy of the “Antique Trader Salt and Pepper Price Guide,” by Mark Moran and published by Krause Books.

***

Q: I have some Santa Clara Indi-an pots that date from the teens

and 1920s. I would like to have them appraised, but the professionals I contacted charge a great deal for this service. Is it possible to find someone who can help me who is more afford-able? — Sue, New Mexico

A: As I often have written in this column, a free or cheap apprais-

al is generally worthless. Your pots are probably valuable, and you need a competent appraiser to determine just how valuable. If you can’t afford to hire a professional, then simply enjoy your pots for their beauty.

Q

Q: I have a paperweight made by Michael O’Keefe. Is it worth

keeping? — Ben, Chesterfield, Mis-souri

A: Michael O’Keefe, a glass artist based in Seattle, is best known

for his three-dimensional paper-weights featuring soft, subtle colors. His work is easy to identify, since each piece is signed and dated on the bottom. O’Keefe’s paperweights are quite collectible, but only you can determine if the one you have is worth keeping.

***

Q: I have an old frame that has rounded glass and wonder if

it has any value. — Mary, Minnesota

A: I examined the picture you sent me, and I think your frame was

made during the 1930s and is proba-bly worth about $50. Since you didn’t send measurements, it could be worth a little more or a little less, depending on size.

***

Q: I have a child’s book, “Mick-ey Mouse in the Wild West,”

published by Walt Disney. It is in fairly good condition. What can you tell me about it? — Mark, Missouri

A: Your book was published in 1973 and is worth about $6.© 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

me and said, “So you wanna be acowboy Chisolm?”

I was in the money.He put me aboard his horse –

which you must know was a greathorse. Bernard was a cowboy’s cow-boy. Then Bernard told me to go getthe last two cows into the corral.

Those of you who are cowboysprobably know the last two cows outof the 128 cow-calves we tended tothat day were probably a couple ofwild little devils – that’s why theyhadn’t been tended to already.

And those of you who are cow-boys probably know Bernard’s horseis a cowboy’s cowboy’s horse andknows exactly what to do in theevent one of those wild critters (lingoagain) tried to get away.

Unfortunately, a lot of this infor-mation was not made available to meat breakfast or lunch.

To make a long story bearable, the

horse took off after one of the wildcritters and the critter darted left.Bernard’s horse darted left and in-creased his speed to head the wildbast…er critter off.

I lost a stirrup right before the crit-ter swung back around to the rightand when the horse followed – well,I didn’t.

I fell right in the middle of whatcattle do in the pasture and someWestern South Dakota cactus.

My hat rode along with the horsefor a bit then fell to the ground and Ilooked up to see Bernard running outto see if I was alive and his horse get-ting the critter into the corral.

When my senses returned,Bernard was standing over me –laughing somewhat hysterically,holding my now “broke-in” cowboyhat and extending his huge hand tohelp me up.
