Have You Noticed...
Seagoville Library
By Michael Waits Sr, Pastor, First Baptist Crandall
...hypocrisy is in the eye of
the beholder? Hypocrisy, for the
sake of discussion, could argu-
ably be described as the most
damaging sin amongst the chil-
dren of the Kingdom of God.
How? Hypocrisy, the practice of
not practicing what you preach,
hurts the Christian witness as
well as the person engaged in the
hypocrisy.
Telling someone what they
are doing is wrong while you
are doing it yourself hurts both
of you. For the one being judged
unfairly, there is the sting of
unfairness and the resentment
mistakenly directed at God. For
those feeling judged by someone
sinning the same kind of mis-
take, the potential value of true
conviction is lost in self-defense.
And when the followers of Christ
allow the mote in their eye to
go unnoticed while obsessing
over the speck in others’ eyes
the mechanism God gave each
person for self-critique is dis-
abled, rendering the hypocrite’s
paired.
Playing with fire may be
less dangerous than making a
practice of pointing out others’
mistakes before seeking God’s
illumination on where we our-
selves fall short. God promises
in His word that He will respond
to our call for insight. Our first
call should be to show us how we
can be the Christian He calls us
to be, not asking for help manag-
ing others’ efforts to improve. Is
there ever any appropriate oc-
casion to assist others towards
improvement? Yes, but it is most
effectively done as a reflection.
The most powerful messages
between people can be the re-
flection of Christ off a person
growing in Jesus. What others
see Jesus doing in you can be far
more impactful than your words
or instruction on what changes
they should make.
Have you surrendered your-
self to the changes that only a
life given to Christ can undergo?
Do so today.. .You’ll be glad you
potential for spiritual growth im- did.
(
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love
endures forever. -1 Chronicles 16:34 (NIV)
)
Mother Was A Poet
A poem of 'Ila Hadaway Loveless, Courtesy of Peggy Loveless Day
The Apple Man
He used to come around each year
When the days grew crisp and cold
When autumn leaves were tinged
With gold and frost was in the air.
Though he laid no claim to fame
And I can’t recall his name,
None e’er served more joyful cause
Nor justly earned more great applause.
We never knew when he’d arrive, he had no rule;
But when he did, we could always tell
For all along the road from school,
How I remember, oh so well...
Still faintly lingering sweet and cool
Was the most delicious smell.
Then my brother and I, we’d run and yell—
_The apple man came by!_

Best Food Sources
for Deer
Did you know that deer
prefer acorns that are
freshly fallen from a tree?
That’s why finding acorns
on the ground doesn’t
mean you will locate deer.
Here’s what you can do,
though. Find trees on south
facing slopes. They tend to
get the most sun and thus
produce the first available I
acorns.
After those trees, look
on east and west slopes
and lastly, on north facing
hillsides.
Also remember that the
tallest oak trees grow and
drop acorns sooner than
those below.
For some reason, though,
deer also tend to favor
certain oak trees and
certain clumps of trees.
To find them, look at the
ground beneath them.
They will be littered with
deer tracks and could be
pawed down to bare earth
in places. Droppings will be
plentiful and fresh.

Hogs or Deer? - Continued from page 3
handle that I use to drag it out with.
GO FIGURE! So, how did the hog hunt turn out? Well, I en-
joyed a very peaceful set in the pre dawn darkness. I had the distinct
privilege of watching the woods come to life and was privy to the
conversation of a couple of owls that were discussing their upcoming
day in the treetop above me. A roving pack of coyotes passed by just
out of sight. I’m sure they were headed to their den after a night of
hunting. I was even treated to the wild calls of a passing flock of white
fronted geese. Just at daylight, a couple of does and their young came
by to nibble on the corn but this was a hog hunt, with an air rifle and
venison was off limits.
Here’s hoping those doe stick with their current pattern. In about
three weeks, they will become the primary draw for bucks cruising
the woods where I hunt.

Tax Benefits for Education
DALLAS - The price of higher education can be expensive for
students and parents. The IRS offers these tips about education tax
benefits that can help offset some college costs.
Tax credits, deductions and savings plans can help taxpayers
with their expenses for higher education. A tax credit reduces the
amount of income tax you may have to pay, and a deduction reduces
the amount of your income that is subject to tax, thus generally re-
ducing the amount of tax you may have to pay.
“Often, tax credits are more valuable, because they reduce the
amount of tax owed,” said Clay Sanford, an IRS spokesman in Dal-
las. “Deductions reduce the income on which tax is figured.”
American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC): This credit can be up
to $2,500 per eligible student. The AOTC is available for the first four
years of post secondary education. Forty percent of the credit is refund-
able. That means that you may be able to receive up to $1,000 of the
credit as a refund, even if you don’t owe any taxes. Qualified expenses
include tuition and fees, course related books, supplies and equipment.
A recent law extended the AOTC through the end of Dec. 2017.
Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC): With the LLC, you may be
able to claim up to $2,000 for qualified education expenses on your
federal tax return. There is no limit on the number of years you can
claim this credit for an eligible student.
You can claim only one type of education credit per student on
your federal tax return each year. If you pay college expenses for
more than one student in the same year, you can claim credits on a
per-student, per-year basis. For example, you can claim the AOTC
for one student and the LLC for the other student.
“Use the IRS’s Interactive Tax Assistant tool on IRS.gov to help
determine if you’re eligible for these credits,” Sanford added. “The
tool is a tax law resource that takes you through a series of ques-
tions and provides you with responses.”
