“Cast all your anxieties on
him, for he cares about you.”
(I Peter 5:7)
Some years ago a man
decided to walk from San
F rancisco to New York City.
After many days of the long,
difficult journey he reached
New York City. Newspaper
reporters began to question
him concerning the difficulty
of such a journey. He replied
that the thing which
bothered him most on his
trip was not the fact that he
had to cross the Rocky
Mountains and the
Alleghenies. Not even the
fact that the rain had come
day after day until it caused
the Mississippi and Ohio
Rivers to flood, could cause
him to turn back. But the one
thing that caused him to
consider giving up his
journey at several points
was the sand in his shoes.
Such a trivial thing, sand
in his shoes. When compared
with the great mountains to
cross and the forces of
nature it seems not to
measure up. But it is really
so trivial? If you have had
sand in your shoes, and there
are few of us who have not,
then you know that it can be
the most discouraging
problem known to man,

3,191 Houston Families
On Food Stamp Program
There were 3,191 low
income Houston County
people on the U.S. Departr
ment of Agriculture’s Food
Stamp in April as compared
to 3,136 the previous month,
especially if you are trying to
walk. Os couse, sand in the
shoes doesn’t concern us
nearly so much if we are
sitting down doing nothing.
Today, with so much of the
world under pavement we
seldom have a chance to get
sand in our shoes. But we
have its modern day
equivalent. Worry is very
much like sand in your
shoes. Worry comes from a
combination of fear, failure,
uncertainty, imagination
and atheism. We waste so
much time in worry that we
make little progress in doing
those things that need doing.
Like the man who sits down
every fifteen minutes to pour
the sand out of his shoes, we
haven't moved very far
when the day is over.
But our religious faith
ought to help us do the work
that is needed without
spending so much of our time
worrying. Jesus himself
cautioned us not to be
anxious about tomorrow. But
let tomorrow take care of
itself. In the letter of I Peter
we are told that we can
“Cast all our anxieties on
Him (God), for He cares
about you."
But how do we overcome
the sand in our shoes which
we know as worry? Someone
has suggested that a good
approach is summed up in
these three phrases: Limit
your load; spread your load;
share your load. The first
two involve some things we
can do for ourselves. The
third involves turning our
anxieties and ourselves over
to God. Having done our
best, we are to take the cares
and worries over which we
have no control and turn
them over to God. He cares
for you.
The word anxiety is
derived from a word
meaning to choke. If your
worries are choking you and
you have done your best to
work them through, then
turn them over to God. He
can help you work through
your worries, for He cares
about you.
reports Russell H. James,
Southeast regional ad
ministrator of USDA’s Food
and Nutrition Service.
At the state level, it was
noted, there was a slight
increase of 565 in the number
of people on USDA food
assistance programs in
April. The number on the
food stamp program was up
5,629, while the food
distribution program’s total
was down, 5,064 to give the
overall slight increase.
A total of 121 of Georgia’s
159 counties are now
operating food stamp
programs.
In the food stamp program
271,131 people were issued
$6.5 million in food coupons.
Os this total, $3.9 million was
in bonus stamps This was an
average of $14.31 in bonus
stamps for each person on
the food stamp program.
The remaining counties
that operate food
distribution programs
distributed more than 4.1
million pounds of food to
124,377 needy people in April.
ISSUES AND ANSWERS
1. What do you think of the state of Georgia’s accomplishments in developing the
Tourist Industry?
The state has done well. I can remember when people would laugh if you told
them about a tourist attraction in Georgia. This is no longer true due to pro
motion and development of such things as Major League Sports, Stone Moun
tain, Six Flags, the North Georgia Mountains, and Jekyll Island. The state
spends twenty five (25) million dollars a year on tourism. District 100 needs some
of that money spent on development and promotion of the Andersonville Trail
which is natural and potentially a top-drawing attraction.
2. You are in a two-man race. What would be your reaction to those who worked
against you once you were in office?
I would respect and serve both of them. A responsible public official can not
afford to be vindictive or unfair. I will represent everybody in District 100 once
elected. '
3. What do you think of candidates who will not respond to the issues during a
campaign?
You must be kidding! I’ll let the people answer that question.
