6 The Sun, Wednesday, August 3, 2011
In the Bible
Who's calling, please?
By Pastor Joel Boyce
Special to The Sun
According to the dictionary,
the word' god' is rather generic,
and the meaning is stated as:
"One who may be called upon."
How wonderful, when
choosing a word to identify
himself to us, the word chosen
is a word that invites us to call
upon him.
How equally wonderful,
that in identifying himself to us,
'God' says, I am the reason for
everything that is. "In the be-
ginning, God created the
heaven and the earth." Sea and
dry land, plant, animal, bird and
creeping things and yes, man
in his own image, created male
and female.
In the first chapter of this
collection of incredibly won-
derful writings, we refer to as
the scriptures, we are told: that
there is one who brought ev-
erything that is into being, and
that one who created, wel-
comes us to 'call upon him'.
Just a few chapters away
from the beginning of Genesis
(Chapter four and verse 26) we
are told, ..."then began men to
call upon the name of the
Lord."
When I fred myself lacking
in wisdom, in knowledge, or
understanding, my starting
place, most often is to call upon
him who knows all things and
who created all things. How
wonderful to see him answer
over and over again for these
past 35 years I have been call-
ing out to him. Call unto Him,
and He will answer you and
show you great and mighty
things which you know not.

Sadie Says
Reusing every day items
By Sadie Mae
Special to The Sun
Sadie Mac, a new arrival to
The Sun, is a hometown girl
who has lived in the area for
many years. Sadie is here to
answer your questions, field
your comments or suggestions,
and offer helpful advice and
tips. She's writing for you and
wants to hear from you. Grab a
glass of lemonade and enjoy.
"Use it up, wear it out, make
do or do without"
I came across this saying on
the Intemet. It reminds me of
my grandparents. They came
from the WWI, the Great De-
pression, WWII eras, where
NOTHING was wasted, as a
result of having almost nothing.
Grama kept twist ties from
bread, foil or plastic wrap to
reuse, tore up cardboard cartons
or containers to save room in
the trash and she would
NEVER throw a paper towel
away until it was nearly unrec-
ognizable.
Why am I bringing this up?
Dixie Cups.

tions for parents! No washing

nate the spread of germs; a con-
miner to display those precious
yellow "flowers" that grow in
our yards. Dixie Cups have
made it clear to me that I need
one of those "Reality" TV in-
terventious.
TV "Reality"...that's a
scary thought.
Yep, I'm guilty of hoarding.
I am INCAPABLE of throw-
ing a Dixie Cup away after only
one use! I will reuse it all day.
This causes my family some
concern.
Explaining about growing
up with my grandparents is not
a valid excuse, apparently.
