Minister’s Comer
ment and gives us our base
purpose in life. “Q.l What is
the chief end of man? A.
Man’s chief end is to glorify
God, and enjoy him forever.”
The Apostle Paul long before
Westminster gave us the
same instruction.
Previous to our verse
above he had been teaching
new Christians about how to
live in a culture that ate meat
from idol worshippers. He in
structed them not to eat if
they knew but if they did not
know it was idol meat it was
OK ... a matter of con
science.
After his rather long dis
cussion he gets to the point
... “whether you eat or drink
or whatever you do, do it all
for the glory of God.” He is
saying our own human ap
petite must not determine our
practice but to use our free
dom to draw close to God.
Lu Fullove writes in the
Upper Room how she glori
fies God in her life while
walking in her pasture. She
says, “My daily walks helps
improve my health and my
spiritual life is strengthened
as I meditate, pray and sense
God’s presence in nature.”
She is glorifying God.
Pastor Chuck Swindol ob
served, “Life is not divided
into sacred and secular cate
gories. Everything we do is
for God’s glory.” Maybe
when we see all of life as
spiritual we will discover our
purpose of glorifying God ...
and don’t forget the Divines
teaching of enjoying God,
too.
Our Place in God’s Domain at Holy Family
At the Episcopal Church
of the Holy Family on Sun
day, July 23 at 8 a.m. and
10:30 a.m. the Rev. George
Yandell will preach on our
place in God’s domain. How
do you get rid of persistent
weeds in your lawns or gar
dens? The answer is, you
never really do. In Jesus’ day
and today, the insidious weed
for wheat farmers in Pales
tine is called ‘darnel.’ It
grows well in wheat fields in
Arkansas and Texas. The
grains of this wire-like an
nual weed contain a strong
toxin. It wraps itself around
the sheaves of wheat. Jesus
told the parable of the planted
weeds to farm hands, inden
tured slaves, people who
knew well the peril of darnel.
They had probably been
yelled at by farm owners for
ruining the wheat when they
tried to uproot the weed, and
probably flogged when the
darnel was harvested along
with the wheat. So when
Jesus told this parable, the
hearers probably nudged one
another and laughed at the
irony. They knew, as well,
that Jesus was not talking
agriculture. He was talking
God and their place in God’s
domain.
The Episcopal Church of
the Holy Family is located in
Jasper off of Cove Road at
100 Griffith Road. All are
welcome to Sunday services
at 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. with

July 16-July 22
July 16th:
On this day in 2013, the American League
blanked the National League, 3-0, in the
major league All-Star game, which was
played at Citi Field, home of the New York
Mets. This also happened to be the last
shutout in the history of the midsummer clas
sic. Toronto Blue Jays right fielder, Jose
Bautista, Baltimore Orioles shortstop, J.J.
Hardy and Cleveland Indians second base-
man, Jason Kipnis, each drove in a run. The
real story was the AL pitching staff, which
combined to surrender three hits and record
eight strikeouts with 10 hurlers. Chicago
White Sox pitcher, Chris Sale, entered in re
lief, threw two hitless innings and received
credit for the victory. New York Yankees
closer, Mariano Rivera, won the Most Valu
able Player award. Rivera had a one-two-
three eighth before Texas Rangers pitcher,
Joe Nathan, got the save.
July 17 th:
On this day in 1934, Babe Ruth drew the
2,000th walk of his career in a game between
the Yankees and Cleveland Indians. Ruth got
two passes to first and scored the first ran de
spite going hitless in two at-bats. That came
when center fielder, Ben Chapman, got a
two-run RBI-triple in the top of the first. Ruth
made it home and so did Lou Gehrig as the
Yanks took an early 2-0 lead. However, it
didn’t last as Cleveland posted 11 unan
swered runs en route to a 13-5 win.
July 18th:
On this day in 1960, an announcement
was made that two new franchises would join
baseball’s National League. These teams
eventually became known as the Houston
Colt .45s, who later changed their name to the
Astros, and New York Mets. Both clubs made
their major league debuts in 1962 and remain
intact today.
July 19th:
On this day in 1974, Cleveland Indians
pitcher, Dick Bosman, no-hit the two-time
defending world champion Oakland Athlet
ics, who went on to win a third straight title
that same year. Bosman faced 28 batters,
logged four strikeouts and his only mistake
came on a fourth inning throwing error. He
completed his no-no by striking out Bill
North and Cleveland shut out the A’s, 4-0.
July 20th:
On this day in 1906, Brooklyn Superbas
hurler, Mai Eason, threw a no-hitter during a
2-0 whitewash of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Eason yielded three walks, added five strike
outs and even tacked on a hit. This marked
the last time the Cards went an entire game
without a hit on home soil.
July 21 st.-
On this day in 1991, major league pitching
legends, Ferguson Jenkins and Gaylord Perry,
got elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
They were joined by infielders, Rod Carew
and Tony Lazzeri, as well as owner, Bill
Veeck.
July 22nd:
On this day in 1936, Philadelphia Phillies
left fielder, Johnny Moore, homered three
straight times in the same game. The unlucky
victims were the Pittsburgh Pirates and
Moore’s first blast came on a three-run shot
in the third. He cleared the fence again for
two runs in the fourth before completing the
trifecta on a solo bomb to deep right field in
the seventh. Moore finished four for five and
scored four times. Philadelphia tallied 10
unanswered runs on its way to routing its
cross-state rivals, 16-4. This was one of the
few glittering moments for a Phillies team
that went on to lose 100 games that season.

Racing
Report
ing for position. Aside from
the racing shortly after the
restarts, it would range from
being really entertaining to
really boring. Stage 1 was
pretty solid with great racing
happening just after the
restarts. Stage 2 started off
really solid as well but as the
race remained green, the rac
ing became boring with the
field getting really spread out
and little passing taking
place. There were still some
battles and passing for posi
tion, but it was fairly low.
After the caution for Jones
came out, the last laps of
Stage 2 went back to amaz
ing with more two and three
wide racing throughout the
pack. Stage 3 once again
started off the same way and
also started to progressively
get worse. After the last few
cautions, the racing through
out the field once again was
super entertaining, but the
race didn’t have a very excit
ing finish to elevate the race
from being fairly decent.
Overall, it wasn’t the best
race we’ve seen at New
Hampshire, but it was still a
somewhat enjoyable one.
