Minister’s
Corner
tailed, as our economy be
comes more vulnerable, and
as churches compromise
truth, the signs are there that
we are heading toward “im
minent failure”. So what do
we do?
First of all, if there’s any
thing we can do to help avoid
the collapse, we should be
doing it. We can pray, repent,
and call on others to do the
same. We can work to restore
our society and the church to
what it should be. We can up
hold and promote those val
ues which many have
forsaken.
We can pray for a wide
spread revival that could re
pair the damage. Maybe
things can turn around. But
what if they don’t?
We need to make sure our
hearts are right with the
Lord. Even if there’s no gen
eral revival in our land, there
can still be personal revival
in our own souls. Let’s use
this time to draw closer to the
Lord than ever before. Let’s
spend time in His Word,
committing ourselves to
obeying its truths. Let’s yield
ourselves more fully to the
Holy Spirit, letting Him fill
us with His presence and
power. Let’s be faithful
prayer warriors and wit
nesses for Christ. Let’s serve
the Lord with our time, en
ergy, and resources. Let’s be
part of a faithful remnant
who are staying true to the
Lord and to His Word.
We also need to be prepar
ing ourselves and others for
hard times. If persecution
comes, we need to be ready
to face it and with a Christ-
like spirit. We need to be pre
pared for the possibility of
putting our lives on the line
for Jesus.
We need to maintain a
firm faith and hope in the
Lord. Although our current
system may collapse, we
know we have a better world
to look forward to. We know
that the Lord will be with us
to help us through whatever
we may be called upon to
face in this life, while look
ing ahead to better days. We
know who wins in the end.
Additionally, we need to be
warning others. We should
be encouraging them to give
their hearts to Christ and to
get ready for what’s coming,
including His return. Many
people may see the problem,
but they need to recognize
that Jesus is the answer.
Our world hasn’t collapsed
yet. We still have an opportu
nity to avoid it or to prepare
ourselves and others for what
appears to be ahead. The
signs are there. Don’t ignore
them and go about business
as usual. We’re being given a
chance to get ready for
what’s coming. Will we
make use of it?

final and Moses Malone,
who had team-highs of 24
points and 23 rebounds, was
named the MVP.
June 1st:
On this day in 1923, the New
York Giants pounded the
Philadelphia Phillies, 22-8,
becoming the first team to
score in every inning of a
20th century major league
game. New York’s ran away
saw right fielder, Ross
Youngs, and center fielder,
Jimmy O’Connell, combine
for 13 RBIs. Youngs and O’
Connell had five hits apiece
as six Giants players finished
with at least two hits. New
York also had five different
players drive in two or more
runs.
June 2nd:
On this day in 1971, the
Philadelphia Flyers hired
Fred Shero as their new head
coach. In seven seasons,
Shero made the Flyers one of
the best teams in the league.
Philadelphia made the play
offs six times, won four divi
sion titles and earned three
straight trips to the Stanley
Cup Finals. The Flyers also
hoisted consecutive cups in
1974 and 1975. Shero left
Philadelphia in 1978 with
356 regular season and play
off victories and was in
ducted into the Hockey Hall
of Fame in 2013.
June 3rd:
On this day in 1971,
Chicago Cubs pitcher, Ken
Holtzman, became the sec
ond hurler in franchise his
tory to post two no-hitters,
with the first being Larry
Corcoran in 1880 and 1884.
Holtzman’s no-no featured
six strikeouts and four
baseranners allowed in a 1-0
win over the Cincinnati
Reds. He also became the
first pitcher to toss a no-hitter
at Riverfront Stadium.
June 4th:
On this day in 1974, the
National Football League
granted a franchise to the city
of Seattle. The team became
known as the Seahawks and
their inaugural season took
place two years later, when
they joined the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers. Seattle com
pleted its inaugural campaign
with a 2-12 record, a mark
that included a victory over
the Bucs.
June 5th:
On this day in 1991, the
Chicago Bulls, who eventu
ally became the team of the
nineties after claiming six
NBA titles, recorded their
first-ever finals victory. It
was Game two against the
Los Angeles Lakers and the
signature moment took place
in the fourth quarter. Michael
Jordan drove to the basket
and intended to lay down a
right-handed slam. With Sam
Perkins waiting at the hole,
Jordan switched hands in
midair before converting a
layup. MJ finished with
game-highs of 33 points and
13 assists, but his basket was
the highlight of Chicago’s
107-86 win.

Raising a well rounded child
Continued from IB
MLB All-Star Game
• Reduce screen time.
Too much screen time has
been linked to childhood
obesity, irregular sleep pat
terns, and behavioral issues.
In addition, a 2017 study by
Greg L. West at the Univer
sity of Montreal revealed that
playing "shooter" games can
damage the brain, causing it
to lose cells. According to the
American Academy of Pedi
atrics, entertainment screen
time should be limited to two
hours a day.
• Do assign chores.
There is a significant body
of evidence that shows that
chores are beneficial for
childhood development. Yet,
in a Braun Research poll, just
28 percent of parents said
they regularly assign chores
to their kids. A University of
Minnesota analysis of data
found that the best predictor
of success in young adult
hood was whether children
had performed chores as
young as three or four.
• Don't tune out.
According to a survey by
Common Sense Media, 28
percent of teens said their
parents were addicted to their
mobile devices. Another re
cent study discovered that 32
percent of children surveyed
felt unimportant when their
parents were distracted by
their phones. Children need
to be given plenty of good at
tention to promote a healthy
self-esteem.
• Establish a solid support
system.
Children need to feel like
they have a solid support sys
tem at home that makes them
feel both confident and
loved.
• Don't be too hard (or
too soft).
Diana Baumrind, in her
groundbreaking 1966 study,
distinguished between au
thoritarian (very strict), per
missive (very lenient), and
authoritative (equally disci
plined and loving) parents. In
short, authoritarian parents
are too hard, permissive par
ents are too soft, and author
itative are just right.
When a child models their
authoritative parents, they
learn emotion regulation
skills and social understand
ing that are critical for suc
cess.
• Encourage them to be
outgoing.
While it’s important for
children to be surrounded by
loving family members and
friends, it’s also crucial that
they are introduced to other
people and to a variety of sit
uations. Give them opportu
nities to step out of their
comfort zones because this is
what will help them to grow.
Children from military fami
lies are a perfect example.
Because they move every
few years and are made to
meet new people and make
new friends, often in other
countries, they are naturally
more outgoing out of neces
sity.
Implementing these
strategies will help you en
sure your children will grow
and mature into well-rounded
adults.

also restricts the location of
drop boxes and prohibits
non-poll workers from hand
ing out food and drinks
within 150 feet of voters
standing in line.
Critics say the law will
disproportionately affect mi
norities and low-income
Georgians. Supporters say it
will restore public trust in
elections.
“MLB robbed the small
businesses of Atlanta - many
of them minority-owned - of
$100 million,” said Alfredo
Ortiz, president and CEO of
the Job Creators Network.
“This is a knee-jerk, hypo
critical and illegal reaction to
misinformation about Geor
gia’s new voting law.”
While the $100 million
projected economic impact
of losing the game has come
into question as potentially
overblown, the plaintiffs say
previous All-Star games
have generated $37 million
to $ 190 million for their host
communities.
Besides losing revenue
from ticket sales and conces
sions, more than 8,000 hotel
room reservations were can
celed.
“Small businesses in this
community had valid con
tracts relating to the All-Star
Game and other events, the
result of two years of plan
ning,” Ortiz said. “All of that
was ripped away by fear and
misinformation spewed by
political activists.”
Ortiz said Colorado and
many other states have more
restricting voting laws than
Georgia.
