Minister’s Comer
His appearance. Peter, the
apostle, once described Jesus
by simply saying, ‘‘He went
about doing good,” Acts
10:38.
We can only do so much
to change our appearance but
we can greatly change our at
titude and behavior. We can’t
show people what Jesus
looked like, we can show
them by our conduct what
Jesus was like in terms of His
behavior. If we act like Jesus,
people will see Him in us and
be attracted to Him, not
based on looks but on charac
ter.

It’s all about connectedness at Holy Family
At the Episcopal Church of the Holy Fam
ily on Sunday, November 5 at 8 a.m. and
10:30 a.m. the Rev. George Yandell will
preach on connectedness. George will ex
plain “I believe in the invisible. Some years
ago in the Memphis paper, a leading nation
ally televised local preacher responded to a
question about the appropriateness of Hal
loween. The preacher said, ‘The church ap
propriated the pagan observance of Samhein
[Sow'an] and renamed it ‘Allhallowmass’ and
kept its emphasis on the dead. It is not an ap
propriate observance for Christians because
it's not biblical. That preacher, and many
Christians today, turn their backs on the in
visible relationships that lie behind how we
practice our faith. All hallows/all saints may
be hard to understand. It's all about connect
edness. There have been only 69 generations
of Christians since the resurrection of Jesus.
At any point during those 1993 years the con
nections could have been broken. The church
could have died. We celebrate this All Saints’
Sunday as witness to all those who’ve carried
the Faith of Jesus to us today.”
The church is located in Jasper off of Cove
The Worship Space - The Nave at Holy
Family
Road at 100 Griffith Road. All are welcome

Bible Prophecies
As we see the state of the world around us,
many fear we are turning a comer in human
history. Unfolding events appear to many to
mirror Bible prophecy, especially signs pre
ceding the return of Christ. If these topics in
terest you, the Jasper Seventh-day Adventist
Church would like to invite you to a special
miniseries of presentations covering the fol
lowing topics: Christ Unlocks Judgment
Hour, The Cosmic History of Free Will and
Rebellion, The Real Matrix deception of all
mankind, Antichrist Unmasked, Mark of the
Beast, Armageddon - Rebellion Ends, The
Second Coming and the Rapture.
Meeting times this weekend are: Friday,
Saturday and Sunday at 7 p.m.
Bible study handouts will be provided
each evening with more details on the night’s
topic.
In addition, Pastor Baciu, who served as
Christian Pastor under Communist ride in
Romania will give parts of his exciting testi
mony each night. There will also be a seg
ment with tips for healthy living, and one for
Q&A related to the main lecture.
All meetings will be at the Jasper Seventh
Day Adventist church located at 600 Burnt
Mountain Road, next to the library. For more
information call (706) 253-2782.
This week in sports history
By Ethan Swiech
October 29-November 4
October 29th:
On this day in 1950, Cleveland Browns
fullback, Marion Motley, set the NFL record
for the highest yards-per-carry average in one
game. The Browns hosted the Pittsburgh
Steelers and Motley compiled 188 yards on
just 11 carries, averaging 17.1 yards an at
tempt. He also scored twice, with the first
touchdown coming on a 3 3-yard reception.
Motley followed that up with a 69-yard scor
ing run as Cleveland gained 338 yards on the
ground. The Browns jumped out to a 31-0
lead before pounding Pittsburgh, 45-7. Mot
ley’s mark stood until 2002, when Atlanta
Falcons quarterback, Michael Vick, averaged
17.3 yards per carry against the Minnesota
Vikings.
October 30th:
On this day in 2016, the Oakland Raiders
set the NFL record for penalties in one game
with 23. These fouls cost the silver and black
200 yards. Despite its inability to play disci
plined football, Oakland still compiled 626
yards of total offense. Derek Carr completed
40 of 59 passes for 513 yards and four touch
downs without an interception. Each one of
Carr’s scores went to a different receiver, in
cluding the walk-off 41 -yarder to wide re
ceiver Seth Roberts. Carr and Roberts’
heroics lifted the Raiders to a 30-24 overtime
win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
October 31st:
On this day in 1988, the Colts dismantled
the Denver Broncos, 55-23, during the first
Monday Night game ever held in Indianapo
lis. The Colts of those days rode the legs of
running back, Eric Dickerson, who carried 21
times for 159 yards. Dickerson also ran for
four touchdowns, all of which took place in
the first half, as Indy built a 31-0 lead and
never looked back. Colts quarterback, Chris
Chandler, completed an efficient 10 of 13
passes with one score, which was a 40-yarder
to Clarence Verdin. Gary Hogeboom even
threw a scoring pass of his own to Bill
Brooks, who had 108 receiving yards on just
three catches.
November 1st:
On this day in 1946, the Basketball Asso
ciation of America, now known as the Na
tional Basketball Association, had its first of
ficial regular season game. This contest took
place between the New York Knicks and
Toronto Huskies at Maple Leaf Gardens.
New York edged Toronto in a 68-66 victory,
with Knicks guard, Leo Gottlieb, finishing
with a team-high 14 points.
November 2nd:
On this day in 1971, the Baltimore Orioles
blanked the Yomiuri Giants, 2-0. Not only
that, but Baltimore pitcher, Pat Dobson, be
came the first hurler to have a no-hitter dur
ing an exhibition game between American
and Japanese clubs. Dobson was one of four
20-game winners for the 1971 Orioles, with
the others being Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar
and Jim Palmer.
November 3rd:
On this day in 1973, Brigham Young wide
receiver, Jay Miller, set the NCAA single
game record for receptions with 22. He
racked up 286 receiving yards as well during
the Cougars’ 56-21 win over New Mexico.
The ’73 campaign was by far the most pro
ductive of Miller’s four-year stay in Provo.
He led the entire nation in both catches (100)
and receiving yards (1,181) while snatching
eight touchdowns.
November 4th:
On this day in 1934, the Detroit Lions’
string of consecutive shutouts to start the sea
son came to an end against the Pittsburgh Pi
rates. The Lions blanked seven straight
opponents by an overall margin of 118-0.
These victims included the New York Giants,
Chicago Cardinals, Green Bay Packers,
Philadelphia Eagles, Boston Redskins,
Brooklyn Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds.
Against the Pirates, Detroit surrendered a
score for the first time in the opening quarter.
Harp Vaughan’s 62-yard touchdown pass to
Joe Skladany gave Pittsburgh a 7-0 lead, but
the Lions retaliated with 40 unanswered
points. Ernie Caddel was the star of this
show, carrying the ball 10 times for 132 yards
and two scores. Caddel also connected with
Harry Ebding for a 37-yard touchdown strike
before returning an interception 32 yards for
another score. Dutch Clark added 110 yards
and a touchdown of his own on nine carries
as Detroit amassed 413 yards on the ground.

Racing
Report
tinsville with the Gen 7 cars.
Despite having no super
memorable event in it like
last year or previous Mar
tinsville fall races, it had OK
racing. As stated before, it
took a while for tires to wear
out, so there would be peri
ods where little would hap
pen on track. Despite that,
when the tires did wear out, it
led to solid racing where
drivers can make passes
without much issue. What
also helped this race be better
than the previous Gen 7 Mar
tinsville races is that drivers
were able to use the high lane
to make passes. For exam
ple, when Blaney first took
the lead from Hamlin, he
made the pass on the high
lane. The best moments of
the race were after the restart
on lap 226 when Blaney and
Hamlin battled side-by-side
for the lead for a few laps,
showing how the Gen 7 cars
have really improved at Mar
tinsville since the beginning,
and at the end of the race.
The end of the race saw a
very long green flag run of
168 laps, and it was fun.
Aside from long-green flag
runs naturally being fun to
see how everything plays out,
drivers being on different
strategies made it more inter
esting to see who could hold
on to win. We saw 2 green
flag passes for the lead with
Almirola and Blaney each
taking the lead, with both on
different strategies. The rac
ing throughout the field was
also solid as a lot of passing
started to take place due to
the tires wearing out. All in
all, this race still wasn’t a
top-tier Martinsville race
overall, but still the best one
in the Gen 7 era.
Next week will decide
who will be the champion at
Phoenix Raceway. Who shall
be the champion of 2023?
