Pig Tales
From
Hogtown
We here at the Desdemona
Activity Center are deeply sad-
dened by the unexpected death
of Dannis Lozano of Dublin.
Dannis was a friend and sup-
porter of the DAC. He rarely
missed a first Saturday break-
fast. He made beautiful wood-
en items and often donated
something to an event we were
having at the DAC. Dannis
was a man very generous with
his time - he took his craft of
making pens from beautiful
woods to many nursing homes
and schools, teaching the folks
and students how to make pens
of their own. He was honored
at the state level and the nation-
al level for his volunteerism.
He was active in the VFW and
was very proud of his career in
the Navy. He dearly loved his
wife, daughters and grandchil-
dren - please keep them in your
prayers.
There will not be a dance
at the DAC this month - please
come back the second Saturday
in January.
We are very excited about
the Christmas Store this year.
There are some very beautiful
items for sale. Of course, there
will be baked goods also. The
store will be open Nov. 29
through Dec. 1 from 8 until 5
each day. The following week,
the store will be open Dec. 6,7
and 8.
The December ‘Breakfast
at the DAC’ will be held on
Dec. 1 also. Come and eat
breakfast with us and do your
Christmas shopping, too!
See you in Desdemona!

Women on Mission
First Baptist Church
Women on Mission met
Monday, Nov. 19 for their regu-
lar meeting. Linda Keith
opened the meeting and several
business items were discussed.
Sue West presented the
prayer calendar for missionar-
ies celebrating a birthday Nov.
19. The Bible verse for the day
is found in Ephesians 6:18. The
prayer focus is India. The city
of Mumbai is the Indian melt-
ing pot. Thousands flood into
the city each day searching for
jobs,money, a new life, and
freedom. They live beside oth-
ers from all castes, states, lan-
guages and prayer groups.
Molly Kattes voiced the prayer
for missionaries and their fami-
lies on this day.
Barbara Nowlin presented
a very thought provoking pro-
gram titled "East of Eden." We
love the little town in which we
live. Perhaps you feel the same
way about DeLeon. But we
have to be honest; as much as
we are glad to be in this place, it
is not the Garden of Eden. To
use a biblical phrase, our town
is located "east of Eden."
However lovely it is where we
live, we all reside "east of
Eden."
The story of Cain and Abel
will help us understand what
the writer meant with the
phrase "east of Eden." Terrible
monsters roam the territory
"east of Eden" and use our
hearts as their dwelling places.
Cain opened the door to one of
the beasts and it devoured him.
Not only do terrible monsters
live in the land "east of Eden"
but God's convicting voice can
also be heard there. Cain heard
God's gracious warning but
rejected it. He refused to cage
his pride, anger, and depression.
The result was dramatic and
terrible. Sin destroyed Cain and
Abel's lives and devastated a
family.
God knew Cain's sin of
him killing his brother, Abel
and confronted him with it. In
Genesis 4:9-10 God ask Cain
about his brother, Abel. He said
to Cain, "Where is Abel your
brother?" And he said, "I do not
know. Am I my brother's keep-
er?" And He said, "What have
you done? The voice of your
brother's blood is crying to Me
from the ground. Cain's sin
caused him to cut off from his
people, ousted from his land,
separated from God and filled
with fear and insecurity.”
This, however, is not the
end of the story. God was not
finished with Cain. God was
sensitive not only to the cry of
Abel's spilled blood but also to
the cry of the guilty, frightened,
sinner, Cain, fleeing for his life.
So the narrative carries the dra-
matic words, "Then the Lord
put a mark on Cain so that no
one who found him would kill
him." These words are power-
ful as they proclaimed Cain's
guilt and protected him in
grace.
Even when we allow the
monster of sin to grow and do
its devastating work in our
hearts, bringing hurt to those
around us and ourselves, God
gives the grace, for life to con-
tinue. In His grace, sinners may
find protection and forgiveness
so that they can build new, full
lives.
