The home will be named in honor of Jean Rea, the founder of the Houston County Jail/Prison Ministry and leader throughout its history. Rea has terminal cancer and has asked that her efforts on behalf of women inmates be carried on. According to Acting Chairperson Anne Sinyard, “In many cases when a woman is released from jail, she has no money, no food, no place to stay, no transportation, no clothes and no job. “This is one reason so many inmates return to prison. But this ministry has proven that many of these women can be helped temporarily to get “over the hump” and also taught about Jesus Christ, and if so, many will never return to prison again.” The group has skilled volunteer work ers and accumulated funds for renovating a house, and is seeking an older home or one in disrepair can be restored for use. It is their hope that someone will donate a home that will be named “The Jean Rea House.” Monetary or property donations will be tax deductible, according to Sinyard, who can be reached at 952-7169. Wine and Cheese The Ladies of All Saints will host a wine and cheese event at 7 p.m., Nov. 10 at All Saints Episcopal Church, 1709 Watson Blvd., Warner Robins.

It actually began in heaven. It was instigated in the mind of an angel. His name was Lucifer. A very beautiful creature he was; an arch angel of the highest order. Scripture refers to him as “the morning star, the son of the dawn.” But pride entered Lucifer’s heart. He wanted to become greater than God and to exalt himself above all creation. ‘I will ascend to heaven,” schemed Lucifer. “I will raise my throne above the stars of God.” Lucifer’s aspirations caused a great war in heaven. Revelation 12: 7-9 describes the battle: “And there was war in heav en. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, "Man is inherently evil. Ms only hope is the saving grace ol Jesus Christ." Polly Punkin-Heads purpose Lots of people at the Farmer’s Market had lots of pump kins to sell. The shouts were continuously, “How about a pumpkin?” I continuously shouted back, “Don’t need one!” Making our way down one lane, my husband and I passed a shed with more pumpkins than we had seen anywhere. “How about a pumpkin?” a young man shouted. “Are you giving them away?” I shouted back. “Yes... CATCH!” the young man responded. Surprisingly, he tossed a tiny pumpkin to me. Surprisingly, I caught it from our slow moving auto mobile! The pumpkin was so small, I honestly felt sorry for it. It would have made a cute Jack-O-Lantern, but carving on the little thing seemed almost cruel. Reminded that Shirley Hills to hold series on Jewish roots oi Christianity Special to the Journal Shirley Hills Baptist Church will host four days of teaching on the Jewish Roots of Christianity, Nov. 4-7.

Satan’s first order of busi ness on earth was to tempt God’s first human creations. You know the rest of the story. Adam and Eve were evicted from the Garden of Eden because they dis obeyed God and ate of the Tree of Knowledge. Satan then turned his attention to subverting Job, one of the world’s most righteous men who feared God and con sistently turned away from evil. Since Job was very rich, Satan came before the coun cil of God to accuse Job of being a mercenary and an opportunist, who would curse God if he lost all his possessions. God accepted Satan’s chal lenge to test Job and gave Satan the power to take away Job’s possessions, but not to take his life. Job remained 'i’l Earline Cole Reflections God does not cre ate things that can not be used in some way, I won der e d what use ful pur pose such a small pumpkin could pos sibly have. Not being a cre ative person, I asked God to help me think of something to do with the tiny pumpkin. Maybe it sounds ridiculous to bother God with such an unimportant matter, but I know He understood because it was not long before Polly Punkin-Head was created.

His physical infirmities were healed and he wound up with twice as many pos sessions as he had before. Job is the prototype of what God envisioned when he cre ated man. God chose to give man free will rather than make him an automaton who could only respond to programmed instructions. Thus, God took great pride in his handiwork when Job, through the exercise of free will, remained true to his creator. The greatest outbreak of evil in the 20th century found expression in one man - Adolf Hitler who put to death 6 million Jews. Other terrifying examples were Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union, Pol Pot in Cambodia, Sadam Hussein in Iraq, etc. Manifestations of pro found evil have been seen in tribal genocides such as the Hutu militia who massacred 500,000 Rwandans, many of them innocent children. Al- Qaeda suicide bombers kill innocent people every day on the streets of Iraq and justify their atrocities under the pretense of religion. Man is inherently evil. His only hope is the saving grace of Jesus Christ. wore a dainty crocheted pin cushion hat. Polly’s bottle body was draped with mate rial of appropriate colors for the season. Standing outside my back door, attracting attention, Polly generated smiles from visitors. She was the center of attraction at a meeting where she held a miniature basket filled with candy. Later, Polly was invited to serve treats at a meeting in the home of a friend. From there she spent some time at school along with other Halloween creations. Polly’s purpose was soon fulfilled. If she could have talked, I am sure she would have said, “Thank You, God, for giving me something to do. It has been lots of fun” And, perhaps she would have added, “Let my soul live, and it shall praise You.” - Psalms 119:175. well as in Canada, South Africa, England and Israel. Tilles will speak at the morning and eve ning services on Nov. 4 (9 and 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.), and at 7 p.m. on Nov. 5 and 6.
