Fifth Downs
Don Redding - Our Fifth Downs
Published first byDon in February 2010 for Bible Study Group
Suggested Bible Reading
I long admired Snavely for his character and that decision. I often get fifth downs and wonder if I handle them as well as he. My fifth downs come in the form of mistakes in judgment, people I mistreat, sins through commission and omission, lack of a good word of encouragement to others, unkind words, little empathy, and a million other ways you guys can suggest. The important thing is to forfeit/correct those plays and keep hustling for 100 yards.
Often I am blessed with many first downs. I create too many fifth downs, and I hope I have character enough to do the right thing with them no matter the costs.
PrayerFather, Thank you for all our first down opportunities. Forgive us for taking unfair advantage of the rules and circumstances. Teach us courage in the small and easy decisions - as well as in large ones which cost us our individual national championships.
Thought for the Day:
How do we handle our fifth downs, especially if they cost us dearly.Prayer Focus:
People without many first down opportunities. donRedding

Today's Scripture:2 Timothy 4:6-8 (New International Version)
7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day . . .. . . .
Galatians 5:7: You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?Carl Snavely. coach of Charlie Justice and four of the best North Carolina football teams, once forfeited a game after reviewing the game movies. His Cornell team won against Dartmouth on a fifth down. The decision cost Snavely and his Cornell team an undefeated season and a #1 ranking. The year was 1940. He coached UNC 1946 -1951. A writeup of the game is at Fifth Down - or may be found by googling "fifth down Carl Snavely". Also, you can find other fifth down situations not handled as courageously.
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Exodus 20:15 15Thou shalt not steal.

Helping Hands of Ownbey - US Troops connected with MPUMC
Hi Ownbey Folks
On behalf of the Helping Hands Committee, Tom asked me to offer for your approval a request for $300.00 to help the Men's Thursday Noon Bible Group fund purchases of Care Packages for US Troops with a MPUMC connection. At present we have four such individuals. Recently the Bible Group took on as a project communicating with our Military connections from Mpumc. One large cost of each package is anticipated to be telephone credit cards. A picture of the request form is below. Tell me if you do not see it and I will figure out what is wrong.
We have about $1,400 in our Helping Hands account if my memory is working (Mary Katerine Vass please correct me Sunday if I am off too much). Remember you can contribute to the Fund to honor or as a memorial to individuals. Several members has used this honor/memorial technique this year, and we encourage you to remember the Helping Hand Fund in your giving decisions. - and in requests for use of the finds. One source of funds has been the $50 members won for simply visiting our Class Blog and emailing me you were there and that you wanted the money given to Helping Hands. The offer has been up again for a couple of months with no takers. Sure is easy money.
Jim Hatfield is the leader of the Bible Group which consists of about 14 members with 8 from Ownbey. We are always looking for new members, so join us please. We meet in Jubilee Hall usually and eat leftovers from Thursday nights for a couple of bucks, what a deal!
The members of the Helping Hand Committee are: (tell me if I missed any names)
Tom Stinson (Chair), Ellen Chason, Cal Chesson, Don Hammer, Don Redding, the President and the Treasurer (ex – officio)
Tom is out of town this weekend and he asked me to present this to you Sunday for approval. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns about this request. It has been approved by the Committee and needs your final approval.
thanks don

Faith - What is the definition
What is the definition of faith?
The dictionary definition of faith is, “the theological virtue defined as secure belief in God and a trusting acceptance of God's will.” For a Christian, this definition is not just words on a page it is a way of life. Faith is acceptance of what we cannot see but feel deep within our hearts. Faith is a belief that one-day we will stand before our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
