Ever yone is welcome to come and spend the day with us. Remember those on our prayer list, the shut-ins and our lost loved ones. Listen to God: Some are convinces that God is never silent and that He is always speaking to us in one way or another. If this is true, then God is saying some- thing to you right now. And what He is tr ying to tell you is important. It is crucial that we open our minds and hearts so that we can hear what God has to say to us. For who knows what blessing may come our way simply by listening to the Lord and trusting in His righ- teousness and His promise of deliverance. "Listen to me, you who pur- sue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarr y from which you were hewn" (Isaiah 51:1).

Mark Wade, Deacon BLESSED SACR AMENT CATHOLIC CHURCH 11092 E. Lincoln Heights Rd. Oakland City 812-749-4474 Email: frenner@evdio.org Real liberty is spelled JESUS 'In Congress July 4th, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thir teen United States of America.' When Thom- as Jef ferson penned those words, he had no assurance that this "Declaration" of Independence" would be successful. The Continental Congress had taken a daring step: a leap of blind faith and a reckless gamble. In 1776, if one were to compare the ragtag rebel colonies with England's might, one could conclude the colonists were mad or fools. There was one thing Jef ferson was sure of: he believed this "Declaration" was of God and the Colonists would win their Indepen- dence! Providence indeed inter- ceded, and on September 3, 1783, Great Britain for- mally recognized the in- dependence of the United States in the Treaty of Par- is. The Constitution of the United States, in operation since March 4, 1789, makes America the longest last- ing democracy in histor y. Our Constitution's opening paragraph begins: 'We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more per- fect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquili- ty, provide for the common defense, promote the gen- eral Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liber ty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.' In the en- suing years, how did 'We the People' fare? It is good to be back in Indiana after our vacation to New Orleans. It was a memorable time but some of the things that happened here during the wind storm made it difficult to totally relax. I know you ar- en't suppose to worry and I didn't, but I am a hands on person and like to have some control over how things are being done. My kids were doing their best with what time they had to spare. They got the driveway cleared of debris and had it usable. One tree fell squarely over our power lines and television cable. I called several times from New Orleans to the power company and didn't get the response I felt was very defined. They finally left our neighborhood without fixing our power and when they did come a couple of days later it took them about 15 to 20 minutes to run new lines and have our service up and running. My question is this, WHY! didn't they do our re- pairs while they were in the area the first time. Our neighbor and our sons had to keep check on the generators they were running to keep our food in the freezers from thawing out and spoiling. Sparklight was contacted to put in a new cable drop on Friday and was told they would put in our new cable on the following Monday. We have tele- vision, telephone land line and internet service with them, so when they called to confirm this appoint- ment no one answered because we were gone and the land line was certainly not going to answer, so they cancelled that appointment. We called again to see when they were going to install our cable and after hearing we were totally out of everything. Call me crazy "For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God…" (2 Cor- inthians 5:13). The Greek word translated as "beside ourselves" means, in this context, to be out of one's right mind, insane, or mad. Because of his zeal for the truth and con- stant drive to live for the Lord and get the gospel out to the lost, the Apostle Paul was viewed as being crazy. With his fervor for serving the Lord, he seemed like a man out of balance and fanatical to the world. In Acts 26:4-23, we learn how Paul shared the testimony of his conversion before Governor Fes- tus and King Agrippa. In verse 24 of this passage, we read that "Fes- tus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad." This statement put Paul in the best of company. People also said our Lord was "beside Himself" and "mad." Mark 3:21 tells us, "And when His [the Lord's] friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him: for they said, He is beside Himself." Likewise, in John 10:20: "And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad…." Being called crazy for the sake of Christ is not an insult, but a compliment for the be- liever. If people think we're cra- zy because we live for the Lord, that's a good thing.
