Six White Horses
Back in the Saddle
Again
Standing Firm
by Andrew Boss

This past summer while I
was home I was asked to play
Jesus for my church's
Vacation Bible School (I am
not sure why they chose me).
I was to speak to a class as
though I were Jesus teaching
the crowd. The story I was
asked to use was from
Matthew 6:26-34.
I began thinking about
this experience the other day.
The kids I spoke to were third
graders. This made me won-
der why it is that those of us
who are older have such a
hard time accepting such a
simple statement: Do not
worry about tomorrow
because it has enough prob-
lems of Jits own. The birds do
not have to worry about how
they will- survive so why
should we? I guess this is eas-
ier said than done especially
if you consider that birds or
flowers do not have to take
exams give speeches study
or hold a job. The point of
this is that if God can provide
for the birds and the flowers
making them as beautiful as
they are do you not think that
He will provide a way for us
to get through everything we
do?
But here is the important
part you must Seek first the
kingdom of God and His
righteousness; then all these
things will be given to you.
We have to work at what we
do but if we give it to the
Father then He will make a
way.
Worrying does no good.
It does not make the test go
away or get the project done.
It just causes stress (some-
thing we will get enough of
when we get out into the
world).
God asks us to do the best
we can and that is all. So do
your best for God and every-
thing else will take care of
itself in due time.
First-time Offenders
(Continued from pg. 1)
are taking up limited prison
space and forcing the early
release of violent and repeat
offenders who are more dan-
gerous. Despite overcrowding
problems prisons do try to
change negative attitudes into
postitive ones and make
inmates responsible and
resourceful human beings
before they are relased into
the outside world.
Educational programs
offer inmates a chance to
work toward a G.E.D. or a
vocational certificate even
allowing them to participate
in graduation ceremonies.
Pell grants are available for
inmates interested in college
studies.
Inmates who are not
going to school may choose
to work in different factories
within the prison including
automobile license label and
box factories.
Women inmates may
choose to work in the laundry
facilities using 400 pound
washers and 200 pound dry-
ers. (This article researched
and written following a tour
of Gatesville Riverside Unit
for women and Huntsville
Wynned Unit for Men. The
field trip was a part of Dr.
Alan Stafford's crime and
delinquincy class last
spring.)
