Page 10A, The Lee County Ledger, Wednesday, May 18,2022 It’s All in the Script Special to the Ledger in recording a movie and my wife says. queried me by saying, Special to the Ledger Dr. James L. Snyder Everybody is con cerned about details in various aspects of life. I like overseeing the de tails of my life to make sure I’m going in the right direction. I’m not always going in the right direction, as you can imagine. However, everybody’s idea of detail manage ment is not always the same. Like me, some people are interested in the overall details. Others, like The Gracious Mis tress of the Parsonage, are concerned about all the details, and can’t go deep enough to manip ulate the details as best they can. If you walked into my wife’s craft room, you would see how important details are to her. If you would then walk into my office, you would see how flimsy I regard the depths of details. I don’t have to have ev erything in proper order to be happy with what I’m doing. My idea is, if I can’t find what I need, I probably don’t need it. And so, I go on with the project. My wife and I enjoy watching movies togeth er. We prefer recording the movie and watch it later, because we can skip through all those lousy commercials that are so annoying. I know commercials are important for the media industry. I know television stations need commercials so they can provide the service that we enjoy. I understand all of that, yet I’m still not too fond of commer cials. I may not like commer cials, but my wife takes commercials with a doomsday hatred. That’s why I take great pleasure James L. Snyder i recording watching it by skipping over the commercials. Whether it be a movie or a particular program we always like to record it so that we can enjoy the actual story without distraction. When we’re watching a program or a movie, The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage is very caught up with the details of the story. I just like watching something for its enter tainment value. But not so with my wife. Ev ery aspect of that program is greatly detailed by her. She knows every aspect of each char acter and knows who committed the crime from the very beginning, which baffles me. Every once in a while, a character will do some thing and my wife will say, “Why in the world did they do that? Don’t they know better?” Being the husband that I am, I cannot keep myself from responding to a query. I usually say something like, “Well, my dear, it’s in the script, and they read the script.” She usually looks at me with one of “her looks,” and I usually regret say ing what I just said. No matter what the program is, there will always be some point where she will question the integrity of the char acter. “Why,” she usually says, “did that person do that?” I had to chuckle because there are some things in life that I have no control over. One thing I don’t have control over is sarcastically responding to something my wire says. After all these years of marital bliss, I should have learned how to keep my mouth shut at certain times. Yes, there are times to speak out, but more often than not, there are times to shut up. I’m still trying to learn the difference. While watching a program, I enjoy the overall story, whereas my wife is more con cerned about each detail of every character in that story. How she does it is beyond my guess machine. I like to follow the story stage by stage, whereas my wife asks a question at each stage of the story. I must confess that some of the programs are a little amateurish regard ing details. Some of the details aren’t in real harmony with what the story is all about. But, of course, that never both ers me because I know it’s in the script. We watched one of our favorite programs this past week when something happened that I didn’t see coming, my wife said, “Why in the world would they do something like that? That is the most ridicu lous thing that anybody could do.” Then she turned her head and looked at me and very seriously said, “And don’t you dare tell me that it’s in the script.” I couldn’t help but laugh for the rest of the program. Although she didn’t think it was too funny, I enjoyed that statement for the rest of the program. Not too long ago, I did something, I can’t remember exactly what it was, but it was some thing that drew my wife’s attention, who queried me by saying, “Why are you doing that?” I knew she was seri ous, but is very hard for me to be serious at times like this. I looked at her with a very thoughtful look on my face and said, “Well, my dear, it’s in my script.” Although she did not think that was funny I did, and for the rest of that day, I kept repeat ing, “It’s in my script.” I heard her mumbling, “I wonder who wrote his script?” Later on that day I was reminded of a verse of Scripture. “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou earnest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5). God has already writ ten the script of my life and as I yield to him I begin to discover what that is. The greatest tragedy of human life is rebelling against God’s script for me. Dr. James L.

From The Bible By Jerry Kingery The Last Supper And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born. And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offend ed because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shep herd, and the sheep shall be scattered. But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all. And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. from Mark 14 For a free Scripture packet, please write From the Bible, BI BLE FOUNDATION, PO Box 908, New- berg, Oregon 97132. email: bf@bf.org University of North Georgia announces Dean’s Lists for spring 2022 Special to the Ledger The deans of each of UNG’s colleges an nounced the names of those students who made their respective lists for spring 2022.
