Christian Corner . . . by Rev. Marg West This week we are going to take a look at what happens when we don't obey God's word. (His children) • If you read last weeks article you ldbked at some of the blessings with the conditional word if. The opposite to blessing is cursing. cursing. So we see in God's word this week that we can also receive cursings. cursings. God does not sent Curses to His people or anyone else, we bring these things (curses, sickness, poverty): on ourselves by being disobedient to His word. Either through ignorance or not obeying His word. In Deuteronomy 28:15: God says ( we do not listen to His voice to observe and do all His commandments commandments which He commands us to do, that all these curses shall come on us and overtake us. 16) Cursed shall, thou be in the city and, cursed shall thou be in the field. 17) Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store, (lack of food arid supplies) supplies) 18) Cursed shall be t he fruit of thy "Be Prepared" The Boy Scouts carry a motto, "Be Prepared". It's a motto that tends to serve us well throughout life and one prepares oneself in a variety of manners ranging from education to physical fitness and whatever. One never knows when an emergency should arise, but ... Be Prepared. A case in point came to the surface surface most recently 1 when Barb McAllister, Orono Estates, was called upon to bring her neighbours pet budgie back to life. Fortunately for Barb she was prepared. Being an employee of Bell Canada she is compelled to take CPR. , When her dog approached with the neighbour's budgie in its mouth Barb was quick to react. It's all part of Being Prepared and an important important CPR requirement. .When mouth-to-mouth didn't seem to do anything for the bird Barb turned the bird over on its back and gently tapped on its chest with her fore-finger. That dead bird opened one eye and then the other and is now back in its own cage, as healthy as ever, and singing "Ôh How I Love to Get Up In The Morning". Now a story such as this gets good circulation and it was soqn in downtown Orono. Eventually it reached out into the hinterland, Reaboro, where Debbie Bourne was getting a chuckle and asking for full details. body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy cattle and the flocks of thy sheep. \ , 19) Cursed thou shall be when thou comest in, and cursed when thou goest out. Now people this is not a very nice , picture instead of receiving blessing we have allowed ourselves to receive the opposite, cursings. Wow! That's really awful. By not, being obedient to God we allow ourselves to get cursings. Think about that for a bit. Isn't it better to prosper and be in health as our soul prospers; prospers; 3 John.'S. This brings us to the point where we better take a good took at ourselves, are we in a place of blessing with God or cursing. cursing. It's all up to us, if we are not receiving Gods best ask Him Jesus into your Hfe and get the best. I'm sure we all have had enough hard- : ship and trouble, poverty and sickness in our lives. So get going in the right direction with Jesus as the leader of your life. Questions or comments? Write Box 179, Orono. Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 20, 1989-3 Fall is rapidly approaching, the "Ex" is almost over (and that's a sure sign we should say "Au Revoir" to summer for another eight months or so), personally 1 said my goodbyes two months ago, . but let's be honest, winter isn't so bad. (Especially if you're an Eskimo.) 1 must be getting old, for the seasons seem to pass so rapidly now. In a few short weeks we'll be looking at Halloween, followed by Christmas. Another year older and another year wiser (or are we?). In any case I think you can consider disconnecting you're air conditioner, conditioner, and start checking the furnace furnace before too long, and the shorts and swimsuits can go into hibernation hibernation for another nine months. Already the maple leaves are turning turning red. The other "Maple Leafs" are probably going to show us shortly, how to lose hockey . games! • Lynne's flower and vegetable gardens are looking pretty dismal these days, but they did keep us fed, and proud during the past summer, (so "past" I can scarcely remember it). I suppose the ducks and geese will soon be honking their way south? At least they don't have to pay the ridiculous prices that the tour companies companies are asking these days. 'But despite this, Lynne still occasionally occasionally voices a tentative suggestion, suggestion, that a couple of weeks in the islands would be good for (me?) -- but I remain firm -- either a holiday holiday or a new car -- ijj I can be firm enough, maybe I won't have to pay for either but then, you don't know my wife, like I do! As always, your own Just George Debbie is a country girl now and her part-time employment in Lindsay Lindsay and looking after the chickens and family pets at home have not been such as to require CPR. But there is no doubt she had gained knowledge of life-saving practices from Barb's experiences. Again it was a' matter of being prepared, fortunately or unfortunately unfortunately as you will understand. You guessed it! Debbie's dog came in from the barn with the cutest chipmunk in its mouth that anyone had ever seen. When the dog dropped the chipmunk chipmunk at, her feet there was not a giver, not a glimpse of .life. Like Barb; Debbie was. quick to react, but ruled out mouth-to- mouth. She turned the animal over .and start tapping on its chest with her fore-finger. What a surprise and amazement to feel and watch life return to such a frail body. What surprise and amazement when the little beast clamped its jaws arobnd her life-saving forefinger. forefinger. Shaking the finger to release the chipmunk only brought more pain. Mark came to the rescue by prying prying open the jaws to release the- finger. ' ' This should be the, end of the story but unfortunately its not. Debbie and Mark now await a report from Agriculture Canada as to the health of jh'e animal. Be Prepared?, one is never prepared enough. Just George . . . By the time you read this, my favourite store will have a new manager, and assistant. 1 am of course referring to the L.C.B.O. -- David and Vie, have both been transferred to points west, I am very sorry to see them go, for their geniality and knowledge of their products, plus their unfailing good humour will be remembered for a long time to come. Last month I reluctantly admitted admitted that Canada Post had finally got their act together and were doing doing a good job, now I hear they're starting to talk strike action again! More about this, if it develops, (and 'it probably will!!). Car dealers have, (apparently) had a bad year, and that's a joke if 1 ever heard one, -- however the .companies are beginning to offer all manner of "Goodies" to boost sales. Give it another couple of months and then go and talk turkey if you're serious!!! -- and I am serious!!! They want almost as much for a new car, as I paid for my house a few years ago, and my property improves with age, a car loses almost half its value after q couple of years -- think about it!!! Kendal News • (Continued from page 2) Every home in Kendal used to burn their leaves and the maple odour was sweet when we went to school. But now the law says you must have a permit to start a bon- fire. ; One lady said that a visitor did not like the taste of their water. So they sent a sample to" Guelph. It was condemned. They had the well cleaned and found that crickets were the cause of its impurity. "Darling," the weary husband announced as he slumped into a chair, "I've made up my mind to stay home this evening." ' "Too late, Henry," chirped the little woman. "I've made up my face to go out." Wife to husband carrying golf clubs: "You don't have to go to the golf course for a hole in one. There's one in the roof, one in the screen door, one in the driveway...etc." OMÇ gives go-ahead • to new concrete plant A $1.6 million development at a Bowmanville concrete plant is to begin immediately following its approval approval by the Ontario Municipal Board. But the OMB partially accepted arguments from environmental groups and concerned residents that plans by Dufferin Concrete to modernize its, west Beach Road plant could be environmentally damaging to Soper Creek and the surrounding area. The board ruled that the development development could go ahead with a number of alterations to the proposed plan. Gordon White, president of Port Darlington community association, said he was "reasonably satisfied" with the OMB ruling. "We didn't get what we were looking for, but we did get-the next best thing," he said. Dear Donald: I hope you and Susan and the kids are settling into the school routine after such a busy summer of holidaying and work. Peg and I are busy making plans to get away on our yearly jaunt to Mexico. We still spend as much time at the lumberyard as possible and help with Alister's new house.. Among all this we have bought a larger motorhome, it still isn't much newer but is a lowmileage one, and will be fine as soon as F have checked it all over. This brings me to the heart of this fetter. 1 \vould like to find a new home for old Thunder (23' Winnebagb 1973), it is as you know a very reliable motorhome all the time we've had it. I can't imagine anyone that would spend the time and money'to rebuild another to the state that it js in now. It would need a home with people new in the Class A motorhome travelling and living scene,, but still not to proud to travel in a 16 year old design, but smart enqugh to see that it has been perfectly preserved and meticulously rebuilt in every respect all with low mileage. I don't suppose Donald that I can get my $29,000 back that 1 have spent on it over the last few years, but I would like at least $12,000. If you see anyone up in the Bradford area interested send them to the lumberyard in Orono, it's parked there. ' , - ' / Dad P S. Anyone finally that is interested see Arcji and Peg at home 983-5935 or most of the time at the lumberyard 983-9167. Arch
