Humble, Texas-If you had told
me 20 years ago that you could
have so much fun driving a four
cylinder automobile I would not
have believed you. But after
testing the all new Hyundai
Elantra GT we now understand.
The vehicle is powered by a 1.8
liter DOHC four-cylinder engine
with 148 horses and 131-lbs per
foot of torque. This engine is
mated to a six-speed automatic
transmission with shiftronic. It
allows you manually shift when
you like or simply hit D and
drive normally.
While going up to Humble for
the North Forest playoff football
game Dr. Victor Keys and I
enjoyed the ride. The sporty
looking GT has some all new
freshly done line and it actually
turned a few heads as we drove
into Turner Stadium.
Economy plays a big role in
deciding on a vehicle these days
and the Elantra GT comes with
an average of 30 miles per gal-
lon. More than 95% Korean, the
transmission and engine both are
Korean built and the final
assembly point is Ulsan, Korea.
Highly regarded when it comes
to safety, this Hyundai has a five
star rating for overall vehicle
score by the NHTSA. Frontal
crash rating is five-star for driver
and 4-star for front passengers
with a four-star rating for front
seat riders in side crashes while
a five-star rating for rear seat
riders, plus a four-star rating in
rollovers.
Advanced safety technology
including such features as knee
bars and side impact curtain.
Let’s not forget we are talking
about a vehicle that barely cost
$25,000.
Inside the new Elantra GT you
have a jazzed interior with up to
date gauges and a good looking
instrument cluster. Good air
cushion seats normally found in
models that costs a great deal
more. The steering wheel has
selectable modes and controls
buttons and has four spokes for
easy and comfortable fit.
Sounds come from an
AM/FM/Sirius XM/CD/MP3
audio system with six speakers
that really put out. With iPod
and USB with auxiliary jacks
and Bluetooth hands free system
with voice recognition, this unit
came fully equipped. Again
don’t forget this is all standard
equipment.
Warranties for the new Elantra
GT is five-year/60,000 miles
new vehicle warranty along with
10-year/100,000 miles power
train warrant along with seven-
year/unlimited anti-perforation
warranty. You throw in five-
year/unlimited mile roadside
assistance.
Optional equipments include a
style package with 17 inch Alloy
wheels and P 215/45R 17 tires
and sport tuned suspension.
There is a panoramic Sunroof
and side mirror mounted turn
signal indicators, leather seating
surfaces, with leather wrapped
steering wheel and gear shift
knob. There is a rearview cam-
era and driver power seat with
lumbar support along with alu-
minum pedal to give the unit a
racecar like feel.
Through all of this the model
has ample enough of trunk space
and the overall styling really
caught the eyes of locals during
our week long test period.
In closing please allow me to
add a free tank of gas comes
when you buy one of these out-
standing product lines!

A KING-SIZE VIEWThe 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT
After nearly six years of waiting
and wondering and guessing,
KCOH AM 1430 radio station
has been sold. Reports are La
Promesa Foundation based in
Midland purchased the station
for a reported $2.1 million dol-
lars. With plans of adding it to
the Catholic-oriented Guadalupe
Radio Network which would
certainly mean changes are in
order. Starting out in 1953 the
station moved to Almeda in
1963 and has programmed an
urban-format and is partly
African American owned.
Word is the GRN would only
take the licenses so they can use
it to bring souls back to Christ.
If that is the case there will no
longer be a need for the building
that sits on Almeda nor will
there be a need to hold on the all
the people who are currently
employed at the station. The late
Michael Petrizzo, who passed
away in January 2012, was the
majority owner and his family is
taking the lead with the sale we
are told.
This means longtime talk show
host Michael Harris with 37
years at the station would be
removed and that along would
create a stir in the community.
Fact is Ralph Cooper longtime
sport caster would also be
removed among others. One of
the city’s more popular disc
jockeys in the original D S (Don
Samuel) would also be out of
there as well the legendary Wash
Allen and many other part
timers.
Every since KYOK AM 1590
was sold in the 80s we have
made KCOH our flag ship sta-
tion and worked on several proj-
ects with the station and certain-
ly will miss working with them.
In the coming weeks A King-
Size View will look into the situ-
ation and try to gather some
information as to how this could
happen? Fact is $2.1 million is
not a great deal of money and
one has to wonder why no one
in our community stepped up to
the plate and tried to pool some
resources to get the funding to
buy the station. Let the record
show no one asked me to help in
any way form or fashion.
Whispers are coming out that
minority owner Travis Gardner
and Judson Robinson Jr. knew of
the lowered price and didn’t
bother to tell the community.
Some view this as unfair since it
didn’t give them a fair shake, if
they in fact thought the cost
would have been more. Fact is
the lowest price I heard was $3.8
million dollars and that was dur-
ing the summer months.
At any rate the station that we
have known to love is all but
gone in the coming weeks.
Some word is that the communi-
ty has a chance to try and keep
the call letters and open a station
in the same location, but some-
how that doesn’t seem likely.
But one thing is for sure if what
is been said and written is true
it’s going to be interesting to say
the least!
Dallas, Texas-On the first week-
end of the month of November
Darryl Bellamy and I made the
trip to Big D. We were truly
impressed with the small sedan
we drove. Man with the power-
ful and yet fuel efficient 2.4
Liter engine cranking out 29
miles per gallon on the highway
and 25 in the city. We also
noted the vehicle lived up to its
billing in the category. With con-
tinuously variable transmission
added to this setup we are talk-
ing about smooth sailing to say
the least. Estimates are roughly
4.0 gallons of fuel is used for
each 100 miles driven.
Keep in mind we are talking
about a complete Japanese vehi-
cle with 99% of its part from
Japan. Both the engine and
transmission are built in Japan
and the final assembly point is
Kurashiki, Japan.
The warranties for the Lancer
SE are 10-year/100,000 mile
power train and five-year/60,000
new vehicle limited warranty
with seven year/100,000 miles
anti-corrosion perforation and
five year/ unlimited road side
assistance. Those numbers are
top in class and stacks up well
against any vehicle built any-
where in the world.
Performance and handling are
enhanced by all wheel control
with drive mode-selector
(2WD/4WD/Lock), front
Macpherson struts and real
multi-link suspension. Anti-lock-
ing brakes with electronic brake
distribution plus front stabilizer
bar completes the good handling
packages. Small sedans have
really come of age and they are
so well put together these days
and are excellent buys when you
take a good long look at them.
Once you are behind the wheel
of the new Lancer you get a real
since of feeling pretty safe and
comfortable. Driver side five-
way adjustable power seat as
well as driver seat back pockets
and center arm rest are just some
of the comforts.
The advanced dual front air bags
with front seat mounted side
airbags and side curtain airbags
and yes it even has driver side
knee airbags. Keep in mind we
are talking about a vehicle that
comes with a price tag just over
$22,000. The Lancer also has a
crumple zone as well as engine
immobilizer and tire monitoring
system to name a few more fea-
tures. An interior layout that’s
solid with clear and easy to read
gauges and pretty driver friendly
as well.
A long list of standard features
includes steering wheel controls
for climate and audio controls as
well and height adjustable steer-
ing column.
Sound provided by an optional
710 Watt Max Rockford Fosgate
punch premium sound system
with nine speakers including a
10 inch subwoofer. A Sirius
Satellite radio with three months
free from the date of the sale,
complete with 5CD/MP3 in dash
unit.
In closing please allow me to
add the new Lancer SE gets a
four-star overall rating from the
NHTSA with five-star rating for
driver in frontal crashes with
front passenger four-star rating.
In side crashes front seat gets
five-star rating but the rear seat
rating drops to three-star while
the rollover gets a four-star rat-
ing.

Our King-Size Mover and
Shaker for the month of
November is Coach Michael T.
Haggerty. Coach Haggerty was
the Assistant Head Coach for the
Boys’ Varsity Basketball Team
and former Head Coach of the
Boys’ Junior Varsity Basketball
Team. Currently, he is the Head
Coach of the Eisenhower Sr.
High Co-ed Golf team. Coach
Haggerty also teaches I.B.
History and has taught at the
Middle School level. He is the
father of two children Gabrial
and Kennedy. According to
Tameka his wife of 12 years; he
is a great father and husband. As
a young man growing up, Coach
Haggerty stated that “he always
felt that he could be a great
leader and motivator”. He can be
seen out in the Aldine communi-
ty working with parents, tutoring
young students and encouraging
them to be the very best that
they can be.
While coaching, he is always
calm; his demeanor is pleasant
even in the heat of a Match Play.
Coach Haggerty is a wonderful
role model for his students and
the players on his teams. He is
extremely professional and is
always willing to go well
beyond the call of duty.
I asked Coach Haggerty what
was his proudest moment as a
coach and he said without any
hesitation; “it was the announce-
ment that two of my golfers,
Mariesha Keys and Brandon
Reed were 1st Place Medalists
for the Aldine Independent
School District. This is the first
time in the history of
Eisenhower H.S. that both
golfers won their divisions and
moved on the Regional Finals”.
Coach Haggerty is truly an asset
to the Aldine Independent
School District, Eisenhower
H.S., and the field of Education,
that’s why he is our Mover and
Shaker for November.
Economics is the name of the
game these days and the Honda
Fit Sport is high on that list.
Recently we had the opportunity
to test drive the 2012 Honda Fit
Sport and found the little 5 door
sedan to be interesting to say the
least. Powered by a peppy little
1.5 Liter SOHC 16-valve 4
cylinder engine that produces
117 horsepower, the Fit Sport
also has I-VTEC. Our test vehi-
cle with a manual 5-speed trans-
mission delivers 27 miles per
gallon in the city and 33 on the
highway. Power hits the pave-
ment on P185/55R 16 alloy
wheels circulated with all-season
tires.
With a MSRP of just under 17
Grand this small sedan is 65 per
cent Japanese with both the
engine and transmission being
built in Japan as well. The final
assembly point is Sayamia,
Saitama, Japan and it has 0 parts
content from the U.S. and
Canada.
Rack and pinion steering makes
for solid handling in a small
sedan and the five door setup
allows for many different
arrangement with the rear seats
folding forward increasing the
cargo space.
With a green house front view
the new Honda Fit is easy to
navigate and the driver had plen-
ty of glass surrounding you for
some of the clearest viewing one
could ask for.
More and more small sedans and
hatchbacks are coming equipped
with safety features such as side
impact airbags and side curtain
along with the normal dual stage
setup up front. For this sport
model anti-locking brakes are
another standard feature as well.
Side impact door beams are also
standard and the list goes on and
on.
When you want to jam a 150
watt AM/FM/CD Audio system
with 8 speakers as well as
MP3/WMA playback is also
standard equipment.
The rear seats are 60/40 with
folding feature and the passen-
ger seats have back pockets. A
rear under seat hidden storage
box helps with long trips in this
well built small sedan.
A rear roofline spoiler helps to
add the sporty look of this vehi-
cle and body-colored power
door mirror kind of gives it a
racecar like flare.
In closing please allow me to
add the fog lights and exhaust
finishers just kind of gives you a
real sporty look that fits just
about anyone.

As the football playoffs begin,
the Studewood Cobras flag team
took to the field and shut out the
Bulldogs 18-0. Quarterback
Mekhi Manley ran 42 yards for
a score to put the game out of
reach early in the fourth period.
Head Coach Clourid Johnson
said after the game his 9-2 team
has a goal of winning the Super
Bowl this year. Johnson is
assisted by Reginald Bell, Teniki
Manuel and Michael Phoenix
and they are on a roll right now.
The Cobras are in their 36th sea-
son and feeling good about their
chances of winning it all. The
most impressive thing about the
Cobras flag team is they actually
threw the football on two occa-
sion and rumor has it they have
even completed some passes this
season. Keep in mind we are
talking about little boys who are
six years and younger on the
flag team.
The Freshmen Cobras under the
leadership of the legendary
Walter Penrice won their game
by the score of 18-0 as Jakobe
Wilkerson led the way with a
big long scoring run. Jakobe a
3rd grader at John F. Kennedy
Elementary School, put on a
show in his runs of more than 30
yards. But he wasn’t alone as
Kameron Waller added a long
run as well for a score. Waller is
a 2nd grader at Lewis
Elementary School and is the
grandson of Michael Phoenix
Senior. They also got good
quality play from Tyree Harris
who is a 3rd grader at Wesley
Elementary School. This year
Coach Penrice is assisted by his
son George Penrice, Everett
Whitaker and Edward Gidrey.
Their squad seems to be jelling
at the right time and could go all
the way as well.
When you look at Cobras who
are doing well on other levels
these young guys have reasons
to look ahead. Former Cobra
John Gibbs connected on 18 of
38 passes for 218 yards and
three touchdowns to help Alcorn
beat Texas Southern University.
Also Craig Loston intercepted a
pass and returned it 100 yards to
help Louisiana State University
turn back Mississippi State.
Loston who played his high
school football at Aldine-
Eisenhower is also a former
Studewood Cobra.

time 33-32 on a one-point TD
conversion in double overtime to

on this past weekend.
Be there for the showdown on

Humble, Texas-The North Forest
Bull dogs are snapping their way
to week 12 action against
Rosenberg-Terry High School
after they turned back Fort Bend
Ridge Point 41-23. The game
played at the all-new Turner
Stadium in Humble on Saturday
night 11/17/12. In talking with
Coach Atkins we learned he has
the upmost respect for Coach
Brett Sniffin who also is from
Iowa and says they were fortu-
nate to come out on top. The
Iowa native went on to say he
knows a little about winning and
won a state championship in his
high school days. “The most
important thing here is the kids
are willing to work hard and the
community is rallying around
this team and we hope to keep
winning to give them something
to be proud of”.
When asked about his success,
Atkins made it clear the weight
room is the key. “My high
school coach taught us to lift
weights and we still hit the
weights three times a week”.
Relating to kids is a big key and
I’d say North Forest probably
had enough talent to win with
them in the past but its impor-
tant to work hard. “We have
been blessed to not have any
serious injuries this season and
we plan to continue to work
hard and build on what we’ve
got going”.
His team jumped out early and
scored 14 points in the first peri-
od and looked as if they were
going to run away with the
game. “I’m use to scoring fast
and scoring early and often but
tonight we just weren’t able to
push them around as much as
we had teams in the past, but
this is the playoffs and we final-
ly got it going and our kids
made some big plays on defense
and we got the win”.
In closing the mild mannered
coach hugged his high school
state championship coach and
went to gather his team up. It’s
been a great while since North
Forest has been this successful
and they plan to add to it when
they face Rosenberg-Terry in the
area round of the Class 4A foot-
ball state playoffs.

COACH OF THE WEEK-PLEZ ATKINS-NORTH FORESTBy King Arthur Prayther
A King-Size View
Humble, Texas- Fleet footed
Anthony Jones followed his
blocking very well as the
Bulldogs of North Forest beat
Fort Bend Ridge Point 41-23.
The junior tailback didn’t mind
running inside despite his small
statue. “We worked very hard
in practice and I have to give
the credit to my offensive line
because they made it easy for
me to run tonight”. Jones fin-
ished with 96 yards and scored
four touchdowns in only 14 car-
ries on the night.
As we talked more with Jones
we learned he simply was fol-
lowing the blocking and says
when he sees the hole he is
going to hit, “I think we can go
to state and win it all if we keep
following our coach advice”.
It also helped that the Bulldogs
have a big back in Alex
Benjamin and another good jun-
ior in Jarvis Harris to keep
teams honest. It also makes it
hard to key on a certain back.
In closing Jones said the
Bulldogs plan are to keep work-
ing hard and do what they do all
the way to state.

The recent actions by
Historically Black College and
University (HBCU) band mem-
bers have fueled the flames of
traditional, sadistic, hazing ritu-
als of yesteryear usually for
entrance into Kappa Kappa Psi
Band Fraternity and /or Tau Beta
Sigma Band Sorority. These
illegal actions could be fodder
for the extinction of the time-
honored, culturally-entertaining
performances of the black col-
lege band.
Locally, Texas Southern
University handed down sanc-
tions against its famed Ocean of
Soul Marching Band at the end
of September by not allowing
the group to practice or perform
at football games. In the com-
munity, it is a well known fact
that football season at HBCU’s
is the equivalence of a ‘Super
Bowl’ partially for its half-time
performances by the talented
school bands. Half-times are so
popular they are referenced as
“the game and a half.”
TSU’s investigation by its police
department reportedly found that
19 band members from the
trumpet section were involved in
initiation paddlings (beatings)
that severely injured at least one
student who then went to the
school’s administration. After
the investigation, a university-
appointed task force recom-
mended penalties for the student
perpetrators. Reportedly, ten
upperclassmen were suspended
from the university for the
semester along with revocation
of their band scholarships. Nine
freshmen were reprimanded.
They resumed play in October.
The Ocean of Soul’s suspension
came on the heels of the famed
Florida A&M University
(FAMU) Marching 100 band’s
senseless acts of hazing that
included: beatings, bruisings, a
fractured limb and the death of
a drum major. FAMU band’s
infractions lead the administra-
tion to suspend the entire 500-
member band. Unfortunately for
both alumni, fans and the col-
lege musicians, they have been
silenced and are on a year long
suspension.
Black College bands in a nut-
shell are a mainstay within the
Black community. They are
akin to the Black Church, the
cornerstone of the community.
They have performed at top-
notch events from N.F.L. Super
Bowls to U. S. Presidential
Inaugural activities. They have
entertained us and made us
proud for many, many years.
They have taken us on musical
journeys that last a lifetime.
They offer a marching musical
escape from our everyday life
hassles. They can take us way
back with renditions of rhythm
and blues. They can take us to
church with that good old
gospel. They can make us move
our bodies with pop music.
They can give us chills with
beautiful patriotic songs. Or
they can make us reflect on our
heritage with soulful sounds.
Whatever the genre of music,
often times, we live vicariously
through these bandsmen and
bandswomen. And as for the
dance ability, none can compare.
Simply said, “We got rhythm.”
And, yes, we definitely have a
long lasting love affair with our
Black College bands.
Show-stopping, high-stepping
and tintillating, are but a few of
the words that are used to
describe our iconic black college
bands. With nicknames like:
‘Ocean of Soul’, ‘Marching
100’, ‘Marching Thunder’,
‘Human Jukebox’, and ‘Sonic
Boom of the South’, hundreds of
other black college bands have
entertained millions and pro-
duced many successful profes-
sionals in all walks of life. So
when something as antiquated
and unnecessary as injury and/or
death by hazing occurs, we col-
lectively shake our heads, gasp
and say “Oh My God!” or “I
can’t believe it!”
Now that we are over the shock,
we must collectively let the
young college musicians know
that no organization, no group,
no club or band is worth the
injury or death of one collegiate,
future professional. One can’t
ever place a value on a life.
There is no place for barbaric
acts of slapping, punching, kick-
ing, beating, etc. of band mem-
bers in today’s society.
This is a call to action to protect
one of the most precious com-
modities in institutions of higher
learning for Black Americans.
We must mobilize! We have to
meet and get organized. We
have to spread the word, that
this is totally unacceptable.
Stop the violence, no more
Black band on Black band
crime. Get involved. This train-
ing has to begin as early as mid-
dle school and continue on
through college.
This is more than our communi-
ty being under attack from with-
in. Simply put, it’s the sheer
survival of or extinction of the
great entity known as the ‘Black
College Band’. Down through-
out history, these marching
aggregations have been the face
of their respective colleges and
universities. And they simply
must be kept alive to march on
into perpetuity. Ditto to black
college fraternities and sorori-
ties.
BLACK COLLEGE BANDS, EXTINCTION OR SURVIVAL?

Humble, Texas-With their fans
screaming to the top of their
lungs at the newly renovated
Turner Stadium the North Forest
Bulldogs snapped their way past
Fort Bend Ridge Point 41-23.
Known for their big point pro-
duction the Dogs did it on
defense as well. It all started
when J. T. Jakubik caught a pass
over the middle and defensive
back Joc LeBlanc laid him out
on the field. Later in the fourth
it was a blocked punt and line-
backer De Marcus Spurlock
recovered it in the end zone for
a touchdown. But it didn’t end
there as defensive back Tyrus
Jones picked off a pass and
returned it 53 yards for a daz-
zling touchdown to put it out of
reach for good. All night long it
was Anthony Davis, Dataveun
Tubbs, Edmond Bell and Erin
Beatty up front making things
tough for Ridge Point offense.
Roaming around in the defen-
sive back field were the likes of
Marquise Cheatham, ZeMarcus
Green, Tyrus Jones and hard hit-
ting Joc LeBlanc. All night long
the Dogs made key defensive
stops.
The game started quickly as
Anthony Jones went in from 10
yards out to open the scoring.
Ridge Point did answer when
Cameron Townsend stepped in
front of a pitch and went 24
yards with a fumble recovery
score but it would be the only
points of the half for the
Panthers. Jones would score
again on a two yard run fol-
lowed by a 16 yard gallop in the
second period. This produced a
20-7 halftime lead and after a
Jordan Davies 32 yard field goal
for Ridge Point, Jones followed
with an 11 yard run to end the
offensive scoring for the Dogs.
Their other two scores came
from the defensive side of the
ball.
Its Rosenberg Terry next for the
Bulldogs and that should be
another interesting matchup to
say the least.
The Lamar Redskins came from
behind to beat Katy-Seven
Lakes 36-33 in a thriller at
Delmar Stadium. Cedric
Lancaster grabbed a 47 yard
pass from Darrell Colbert to
complete the Redskins come-
back. Right off the bat Bryce
Brown booted a 28 yard field
goal for the Spartans but Lamar
answered when Colbert found
Justin Hollie from one yard out.
But Kyle Postma ran five yard
for a score followed by a
Braeden West 2 yard run and the
Panthers led it 27-14. Darrell
Colbert the senior quarterback
was not to be denied as he
passed for four touchdowns on
14 of 31 for 274 yards including
the game winner with only 54
seconds left. The son of former
Beaumont Westbrook state
champion 1982 team, Colbert
showed his ability to keep a cool
head in leading the Skins to their
11th win of the season against
no defeats.
The Katy Tigers clawed their
way past Westbury 77-7 as
Adam Taylor and Rodney
Anderson took turns running
through the Rebels defense. The
win is the Tigers 11th against no
defeats.
Adrian Seales scored five times
and picked up 436 yards while
leading Stafford past Jack Yates
42-20. The back averaged more
than 14 yards per carry against
the Lions defense. But Yates
actually led it 14-0 before Seales
got loose on them.
Spring Westfield blasted Conroe
77-7 as the Mustangs totaled
nearly 600 yards of offense in
the win.
Deer Park beat Pearland 24-10
as Connor Means ran for a score
and passed for another.
Elsik beat Cypress Falls 38-10
as Caleb Bedford connected on
two long scoring passes for the
Rams.
The Woodlands won over Klein
Collins 66-42 in a shoot out as
Blaine Gillespie connected on
nine of 11 passes for 177 yards
and a touchdown and rushed for
another in the win.
Tyler Stubblefield hit on 18 of
30 for 322 yards and three
touchdowns as Lufkin beat
defending state champ Spring
Dekaney 35-20.
North Shore rolled over
Pasadena Dobie 48-7 Micah
Thomas had two scores in the
air and one on the ground in the
win.

Pearland Dawson got the upper
hand on Fort Bend Foster 28-14
as James White did his thing
with 175 yards and two scores.
La Porte Bulldogs got past
Pasadena Memorial 29-21 as
Victor Holmes scored twice and
had 90 yards on only 7 carries.
Alief Taylor whipped Cy-Fair

For those of us that choose not
to follow traditions and doc-
trines of men, this is not a happy
time of the year, but rather a sad
one. This causes pain and suffer-
ing when so many of our fleshly
family members, and/or those
that profess to be followers of
Christ (Christians), choose to do
so. As true followers of Christ
we cannot, and will not;
(Matt.10:32-39; 2Tim.3:12-17;
1Pet.4:1-7). This hurts our
Fleshly feelings, and it goes
against our Carnal wants, (our
Bellies) (Rom.16:16-19;
2Cor.10:1-7; Gal.5:16-26;
Phil.3:16-21; James4:1-10).
Those striving to follow Christ
(Christians) are commanded by
Christ through his apostles, not
to observe or give heed to
fables, traditions, doctrines, and
commandments of men; for
these things are Idle> (free from
labor, at leisure) (Matt.12:35-
37, 1Tim.1:4, 2Tim.4:3-4,
Titus1: 13-14, Col.2:8-10 and
verses 20-22). The command-
ments of God through Christ and
his apostles, edifies the Spiritual
Mind and strengthens the New
Spiritual man in Christ Jesus,
(Rom.12:1-2; 2Cor.5:14-17;
Eph.4:20-24; Col.3:1-10).
Christians must observe all
things that Christ commanded
his Apostles (Matt.28:20;
John17: 20-21; Acts 1:1-4;
2Pet.3:1-3; 1John4:5-6; Jude
1:16-19). ‘Tis a season that is
full of Vanity, decorations, eat-
ing in a gluttonous manner,
drunkenness and fables; which
are lies. Now let’s look at some
lies that have been put in place
by man, Santa (so-called), riding
in a sleigh pulled by flying rein-
deer, and going down a chimney,
of course we know this is a lie.
“Santa Claus”, Father Christ/mas
and or Kris Kringle, derived
from Christ/Kindle, meaning,
“Christ Child“ this is an abom-
inable LIE. “This began in
Germany, among Protestant
denominations”. How many lies
can one tell, or be a part of and
be right with God? Especially
lies involving and surrounding
God’s Beloved Son: in whom
He is Well pleased: (please hear
God and understand;
Matt.17:1-8). Christians MUST
speak and DO the TRUTH, if
we are of Christ, through his
apostles’ Word, (please hear
Jesus John 17:14-21). Can any-
one prove by the inspired
Word, that there were three wise
men; if we cannot, how can we
know it’s true, we cannot?
Think about it, children are
taught that lying is wrong;
except in some cases, one being,
of ALL things, the unauthorized
celebrations dealing with our
Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
This is shameful and DEADLY,
to soul salvation. Why would a
Christian teach damnation to
anyone, especially to their
CHILDREN? There are no
examples and or commands for
Christians to observe Christmas;
thereby being unauthorized by
Christ and or his apostles. This
also sends the message to chil-
dren that, participating in, or
being involved with some lies is
ok, especially the ones that
MAN thinks he has involved
Christ in (1John1:1-6); instead
of teaching the TRUTH; that all
liars will have their part in
HELL. “Rev 21:8 But the fear-
ful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all (1)liars,
shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second
death.” Definition: (1)all
liars-5571 pseudes (psyoo-
dace’); from 5574; untrue, i.e.
erroneous, deceitful, wicked:
KJV— false, liar. Children are
being brought up in the nurture
and admonition of fables/lies,
traditions, doctrines, and com-
mandments of men, rather than
of The Lord (listen Eph.6:1-4).
Remember Christians are to
exhort to godliness, (1Tim 4:6-
16) please note verses 12&13).
It is so sad that so many souls
observe in any manner these
traditions of men, instead of
following the WORD, which is
given to us by God through
Christ, and his apostles. After all
the Word is our MAP to HEAV-
EN and away from HELL!
Here is another ERRONIOUS
statement, “JESUS IS THE
REASON FOR THE SEASON”;
this is a cunningly devised fable,
in other words, “believable
error”. Jesus has never been and
never will be the reason for any
season, because JESUS IS NOT
SEASONAL. Jesus Christ is a
LIFESTYLE that one MUST
strive as a Christian to live 24-
7. Jesus has left instructions on
what Christians MUST remem-
ber about him, and it is not his
birth, but his death (1Cor.11:23-
34). He lived a life of suffering
(Isaiah 53:1-12; Matt.21:1-7;
Luke 9:57-62; John1:9-11;
John12:25-26), then died most
cruelly on the cross for us all.
Remember, His Father for our
sake was pleased to BRUISE
His only begotten Son,
Isa.53:10. Then, after His death,
and the shedding of blood for
the remission of sin: raised Him
up on the third day, thereby giv-
ing us a chance for salvation, IF
we OBEY and follow HIM,
through his apostles, (John 17:8-
23; John 19:34; Acts 22:16;
1Cor.1:30; 6:11; Eph.5:26-27;
Heb.5:5-9; Heb.9:13-28;
James1:21-22; 1Pet.3:21-22;
1Pet.4:1-3; 1John1:6-10).
“KEEP CHRIST IN CHRIST-
MAS”, this is another cunningly
devised fable, in that the word
Christmas cannot be found in
the inspired WORD, (the
Bible). So then God, the ONE
and ONLY HOLY FATHER,
which IS IN HEAVEN, did not
put his precious Son in it. Christ
being the WORD (John1:1-14),
never practiced it himself, and
GOD made it clear in Matt.
the17th chapter, that
Christians MUST hear his
beloved son, in whom He is well
pleased and him ONLY (verse
8). In Matt. 28:18-20 when
Jesus Christ was about to ascend
back into heaven, he made it
clear to his apostles, that all
power in heaven and earth had
been given unto him, from his
Father which is in heaven. Christ
then began to leave them
instructions on what they MUST
do and teach true Christians to
observe. In these instructions
“Christmas”, and the practice of
it, cannot be found. Now, we
believe this should open the
door for some legitimate ques-
tions, for those who want to
know the TRUTH, and escape
error. For we all MUST strive to
escape error, in order to have
eternal LIFE. Who made
“JESUS THE REASON FOR
THE SEASON”? Who put
“CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS”? It
has been proven by the
Apostles’ Doctrine that God the
father did not; neither did Jesus
Christ and his Apostles. Who
else did Christ leave this author-
ity; NO ONE ELSE. According
to scriptures Jesus left his
Apostles the Word (John17:5-
10), so that when we read
(Eph.3:1-7), study (2Tim.2:15)
and strive to obey (2Thes.1:7-9;
James 1:21-25; 2:17-26;
1Pet.4:12-19) the commands of
the apostles (Acts1:1-4;
Acts2:41-42; 2Pet.3:1-2; 1John
4:5-6; Jude 1:16-19), this and
only this makes us all ONE,
right (righteous) with God. Now
let us examine the origin of this
tradition.
Christmas: Date (Dec. 25), was
established in (A.D. 336), by the
Western Church, based at Rome.
The Eastern Orthodox and the
Eastern Rite churches within the
Roman Catholic Church chose
(January 6). There seems to
have been some confusion on
the date of which this day was to
be observed. God is not the
author of confusion (listen
1Cor.14:33), this only happens
with man’s traditions. This is
why Christians MUST observe
all things that Christ has com-
manded the Apostles,
(Matt.28:20). Again you will
not find the word
“Christmas”, or the traditional
practice of it, by Christ nor his
Apostles. So, there is no such
custom in the Church of God
(1Cor.11:16), which he pur-
chased with his blood
(Acts20:28), which is the
Church of and by Christ (Matt.
16:16-18; Eph.3:21; 5:23-33;
Col.1:18). As we can tell by the
dates given, this tradition came
MUCH TOO late to be of Christ
or his apostles. According to
Christ Himself, Christians
MUST believe on Him through
his Apostle’s word, (John17:20-
21) and continue STEADFAST,
in the apostle’s doctrine, as
those before us (Acts2:41-42),
this is SAFE.
The TREE is one of the main
things GLORIFIED in this tradi-
tion, which man has WITHOUT
AUTHORITY; thereby without
success, tried to make Jesus the
reason for. After all, this is
where the so called “GIFTS” are
laid, and so much time is spent
in the DECORATING of it. The
children of Israel were warned
of a similar custom; “Jeremiah
10:1 Hear ye the word which the
LORD speaketh unto you, O
house of Israel: 2 Thus saith the
LORD, Learn not the way of
the heathen, and be not dis-
mayed at the signs of heaven;
for the heathen are dismayed at
them. 3 For the customs of the
people are vain: for one cutteth
a tree out of the forest, the work
of the hands of the workman,
with the axe. 4 They deck it with
silver and with gold; they fasten
it with nails and with hammers
that it move not.” Now man has
introduced the tradition of the
“Christmas Tree”, that many
Professing to be Christians, “fol-
lowers of Christ”, observe. How
can this be, when this tradition
cannot be found in the apostles’
doctrine or in the inspired
WORD of the bible, at all?
Man himself proves the fact that
Jesus is not the reason for the
season, and that he is not in it.
For when the, so-called,
Christmas season starts, what is
truly thought of the most? Is it
Christ or is it the time off, the
vain carnal trees and decora-
tions, the materialistic gifts,
the glutinous foods and drinks,
the carnal games and the flesh-
ly family gatherings? Where is
Christ? Let your conversation be
ONLY about Christ, the scrip-
tures, and soul salvation while at
these gatherings and see how
popular you will be, (Philp.1:27;
1Tim.4:11 -16; 1Pet.1:13-19;
2Pet.3:8-12). Take the carnal,
fleshly wants of man out of the
equation; there would be no
observance of these carnal days
that Christ has not authorized
to those that are his. The proof is
in the pudding; our GOD is truly
our BELLIES Phil 3:16-20,
because it seems nothing can be
done without carnal food. Today,
even buildings that should
O�LY be built for worship,
which include the serving of
SPIRITUAL food, for the spiri-
tual edification of the body of
Christ, must have KITCHENS.
Here Jesus made it clear what is
truly needful; Luke 10:38
Now it came to pass, as they
went, that he entered into a cer-
tain village: and a certain
woman named Martha received
him into her house. 39 And she
had a sister called Mary, which
also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard
his word. 40 But Martha was
cumbered about much serving,
and came to him, and said, Lord,
dost thou not care that my sister
hath left me to serve alone? bid
her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said
unto her, Martha, Martha, thou
art careful and troubled about
many things: 42 But one thing
is needful: and Mary hath cho-
sen that good part, which shall
not be taken away from her.
Please read what Jesus told the
multitude; “John 6:26 Jesus
answered them and said, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Ye seek
me, not because ye saw the mir-
acles, but because ye did eat of
the loaves, and were filled.

27 Labour not for the meat
which perisheth, but for that
meat which endureth unto ever-
lasting life, which the Son of
man shall give unto you: for him
hath God the Father sealed.”
Now here is an example given
by Jesus Christ, for those that
were to be invited to a feast.
Now this is not the so called
GIFT giving as pre-mentioned,
but TRUE GIFT giving, and
Christians MUST be of the
TRUTH, John17:16-17. Note
the definition of GIFT (g¹ft) n.1. Something that is bestowed
voluntarily and without (1)com-
pensation; “Luke 14:12 Then
said he also to him that bade
him, When thou makest a dinner
or a supper, call not thy friends,
nor thy brethren, neither thy
kinsmen, nor thy rich neigh-
bours; lest they also bid thee
again, and a recompence be
made thee. 13 But when thou
makest a feast, call the poor, the
maimed, the lame, the blind: 14
And thou shalt be blessed; for
they cannot (2)recompense thee:
for thou shalt be recompensed
at the resurrection of the just.”
Definitions:(1)com·pen·sates.
—tr. 1. To offset; counterbal-
ance. 2. To make satisfactory

antapodoma-the thing paid back,
requital; 467 antapodidomi (an-
tap-od-ee’-do-mee): KJV— rec-

It is of SPECIAL CONCERN,
when those professing to be of
the one body, the church of and
by Christ (Matt.16:13-20;
Eph.3:21), observe such tradi-
tions and doctrines in any man-
ner. For there are those that say,
“We don’t observe these days in
a religious manner, but in a
SECULAR one”; REALLY?
Definition: SEC·U·LAR adj. 1.
Worldly rather than spiritual;
Earthly, earthy, materialistic,
ultra mundane, Temporal,
Terrestrial, Physical, Carnal,
mortal, World. How can those of
the one faith even think about
“secular” DAYS, let alone be
PARTAKERS of them, and then
call Him Lord, Lord. “Luke
6:46 And why call ye me,
Lord, Lord, and do not the
things which I say? See also
Matt 7:21-24. These practices
cause those of the one faith, to
be idolaters; lukewarm, dou-
bled minded enemies of the
CROSS of CHRIST, minding
SECULAR things. Followers of
Christ must reprove those things
that cannot be found in the
Apostles’ doctrine, rather than
participate in them (see Eph. 5:
6-17). We must be the (1)SALT
of the earth, not mind the things
of the earth, thereby being the

for then must ye needs go out of
the world. 11 But now I have
written unto you not (1)to keep

of the Lord Jesus, and by the
Spirit of our God. 1 Cor 10: 6
Now these things were our
examples, to the intent we
should not lust after evil things,
as they also lusted. 7 Neither be
ye idolaters, as were some of
them; as it is written, The peo-
ple sat down to eat and drink,
and rose up to play. 1 Cor
10:19 What say I then? that the
idol is any thing, or that which is
offered in sacrifice to idols is
any thing? 20 But I say, that the
things which the (1)Gentiles
sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils,
and not to God: and I would not
that ye should have fellowship
with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink
the cup of the Lord, and the cup
of devils: ye cannot be partak-
ers of the Lord’s table, and of
the table of devils. 22 Do we
provoke the Lord to jealousy?
are we stronger than he? 23 All
things are lawful for me, but all
things are not expedient: all
things are lawful for me, but all
things edify not.

There are many souls involved
in many things that are not of
the Body that Christ is the
HEAD of (Col.1:18). The
Church that Christ is the head
of, MUST be subject unto
Christ in everything; “Eph
5:23 For the husband is the head
of the wife, even as Christ is the
head of the church: and he is the
saviour of the body. 24
Therefore as the church is
(1)subject unto Christ, so let the
wives be to their own husbands
in every thing.” Definition:
(1)Subject unto Christ -5293
hupotasso; to subordinate;
reflexively, to obey: KJV— be
under obedience (obedient), put
under, subdue unto, (be, make)
subject (to, unto), be (put) in
subjection), submit self unto.
WOE unto any man that tries to
put Christ into anything, or
make him the reason for any-
thing! Man is the CREATURE,
Christ is the CREATOR; please
read John1:1-5; Col. 1:12-20.
Christians MUST heed the warn-
ing of the apostle Peter, whom
some erroneously calls the first
“Pope”. This is error simply
because, the word, Pope, can not
be found anywhere in the
inspired scriptures of the Holy
Bible. However, the one GOD
(Eph.4:1-6), which is in heaven,
the Only Holy Father, Jesus the
Only Christ (Matt.23:5-12), and
his Apostles are found in the
bible. Christians MUST remem-
ber that Peter, one of the apos-
tles and one of the elders, warns
the Church that Christ is the
HEAD of, to beware of cunning-
ly devised fables; but first note
what the apostle Paul says, then
the apostle Peter, as they were
guided by The Holy Ghost; “Gal
2:6. But, of these who seemed
to be somewhat, (whatsoever
they were, it maketh no matter
to me: God accepteth no man’s
person:) for they who seemed to
be somewhat in conference
added nothing to me: 7 But
contrariwise, when they saw that
the gospel of the uncircumcision
was committed unto me, as the
gospel of the circumcision was
unto Peter; 8 (For he that
wrought effectually in Peter to
the apostleship of the circumci-
sion, the same was mighty in
me toward the Gentiles:)”(KJV)
1 Pet 1:1 Peter, an apostle of
Jesus Christ, to the strangers
scattered throughout Pontus,
Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and
Bithynia,(KJV)
1 Pet 5:1 The elders which are
among you I exhort, who am
also an elder, and a witness of
the sufferings of Christ, and also
a partaker of the glory that shall
be revealed: (listen to 2Pet.1:1
also)
2 Pet 1:15 Moreover I will
endeavour that ye may be able
after my decease to have these
things always in remembrance.

“PEACE O� EARTH”
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born
this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord. 12 And this shall be a
sign unto you; Ye shall find the
babe wrapped in swaddling
clothes, lying in a (1)manger.
13 And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and
saying, 14 Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.(KJV)
Definition:(1)manger 5336

or an open box in which feed for
livestock is placed.: KJV—
manager, stall.
This is what the Angels declared
at the LOWLY birth of Jesus
Christ in the flesh. For we must
remember, Jesus was in the
beginning (John1:1-14), but he
became a little lower than
angels, as God sent his Son in
the likeness of sinful flesh
(Rom.8:1-9; Gal.4:4-5;
Heb.2:7-10). This declaration
that was made by the angels is
heard often this time of the year.
Peace on earth can ONLY exist
if ALL men DENY themselves,
and suffer to obey Christ
through his apostles’ word, doc-
trine, traditions and commands;
as God has commanded (Matt.
17:1-8; 28:18-20; John17:15-
24; Acts2:41-42; 2Thes.2:14-
17; 2Pet.3:1-2; 1John 4:5-6).
Christ’s will have always been
good toward men, but man must
first have a change of MIND
(repentance). “2 Pet 3:9 The
Lord is not slack concerning
his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to
us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all
should come to repentance. 10
But the day of the Lord will
come as a thief in the night; in
the which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the
elements shall melt with fervent
heat, the earth also and the
works that are therein shall be
burned up.11 Seeing then that
all these things shall be dis-
solved, what manner of persons
ought ye to be in all holy con-
versation and godliness,” But
man wants to have it his own
way. He wants to be able to
choose his own way to be right-
eous with God, thereby causing
division, variance and confusion.
According to Christ and His
apostles; because of man’s
SCRIPTURAL ignorance
(Matt.22:29), REBELLIOUS
ways (Luke 6:46-49); and
because man loves his life, the
WORLD and the THINGS that
are IN it (John12:25-26; 1John
2:15-17), there is and there will
be no peace on earth
(Matt.10:32-38; Luke 12:51-
53).
Jesus said he didn’t come to
send peace, but a sword, which
is the WORD. If we are
Christians we MUST believe
what Christ says. Do we not
want to know the truth? “Matt
10:32 Whosoever therefore shall
confess me before men, him will
I confess also before my Father
which is in heaven. 33 But
whosoever shall deny me before
men, him will I also deny before
my Father which is in heaven.
34 Think not that I am come to
send peace on earth: I came not
to send peace, *but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man
at variance against his father,
and the daughter against her
mother, and the daughter in law
against her mother in law. 36
And a man’s foes shall be they
of his own household. 37 He
that loveth father or mother
more than me is not worthy of
me: and he that loveth son or
daughter more than me is not
worthy of me. 38 And he that
taketh not his cross, and fol-
loweth after me, is not worthy
of me” (hear also Luke9:57-
62). “Heb 4: 11 Let us labour
therefore to enter into that rest,
lest any man fall after the same
example of unbelief. 12 For the
word of God is quick, and pow-
erful, and sharper than any
*two-edged sword, piercing
even to the dividing asunder of
soul and spirit, and of the joints
and marrow, and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the
heart” (hear also Eph.6:17).
“Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I
am come to give peace on
earth? I tell you, �ay; but
rather division: 52 For from
henceforth there shall be five in
one house divided, three against
two, and two against three. 53
The father shall be divided
against the son, and the son
against the father; the mother
against the daughter, and the
daughter against the mother; the
mother in law against her daugh-
ter in law, and the daughter in
law against her mother in law.”
Because of the insistence of
many on following cunningly
devised fables, rather than the
more sure WORD of prophecy
by the apostles, there is confu-
sion. Since many are resolved to
follow blindly, teachers that are
false, without proving them by
the apostles’ doctrine, there is
variance. Because many have
chosen to follow the traditions
and commandments of men,
rather than those of the apostles,
which would make PEACE and
make us ALL ONE in Christ,
there is, and there MUST be
DIVISION; Please hear: “II Th
3:4 And we have confidence in
the Lord touching you, that ye
both do and will do the things
which we command you. 5 And
the Lord direct your hearts into
the love of God, and into the
patient waiting for Christ. 6
Now we command you,
brethren, in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that ye
(1)withdraw yourselves from

saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of heav-
en; but he that doeth the will of
my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that
day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in
thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many
wonderful works? 23 And then
will I profess unto them, I never
knew you: depart from me, ye
that work iniquity. 24 Therefore
whosoever heareth these sayings
of mine, and doeth them, I will
liken him unto a wise man,

the holy scriptures, which are
able to make thee wise unto sal-
vation through faith which is in
Christ Jesus.(KJV)
Titus 1:13 This witness is true.
Wherefore rebuke them sharply,
that they may be sound in the
faith; 14 Not giving heed to
Jewish fables, and command-
ments of men, that turn from the
truth.
2 Pet 1:17 For he received from
God the Father honour and
glory, when there came such a
voice to him from the excellent
glory, This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased. 18
And this voice which came from
heaven we heard, when we were
with him in the holy mount. 19
We have also a more sure word
of prophecy; whereunto ye do
well that ye take heed, as unto
a light that shineth in a dark
place, until the day dawn, and
the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no
prophecy of the scripture is of
any private interpretation. 21
For the prophecy came not in
old time by the will of man: but
holy men of God spake as they
were moved by the Holy
Ghost.(KJV)
2 Pet 3:1 This second epistle,
beloved, I now write unto you;
in both which I stir up your pure
minds by way of remembrance:
2 That ye may be mindful of the
words which were spoken before
by the holy prophets, and of the
commandment of us the apos-
tles of the Lord and
Saviour:(KJV)
I Jn 4:5 They are of the world:
therefore speak they of the
world, and the world heareth
them. 6 We are of God: he that
knoweth God heareth us; he
that is not of God heareth not
us. Hereby know we the spirit of
truth, and the spirit of
error.(KJV)
Note the apostle Paul as he
admonished the Church in
Corinth, Philippi and
Thessalonica, as he and they, the
apostles were guided by The
Holy Ghost: “1 Cor 11:1 Be ye
followers of me, even as I also
am of Christ. 2 Now I praise
you, brethren, that ye remember
me in all things, and keep the
ordinances, as I delivered them
to you. 3 But I would have you
know, that the head of every
man is Christ; and the head of
the woman is the man; and the
head of Christ is God.” “Phil
4:9 Those things, which ye
have both learned, and received,
and heard, and seen in me, do:
and the God of peace shall be
with you.” “II Th 3:4 And we
have confidence in the Lord
touching you, that ye both do
and will do the things which we
command you. 5 And the Lord
direct your hearts into the love
of God, and into the patient
waiting for Christ.”(KJV)
Our hope is, that all striving to
be Christians, according to the
apostles’ doctrine (Acts1:1-4;
Acts2:41-42), will become in the
future, SPIRITUALLY MIND-
ED and not the SECULARLY
MINDED ones that WE ARE.
Please hear; “ Rom 6:1 What
shall we say then? Shall we con-
tinue in sin, that grace may
abound? 2 God forbid. How
shall we, that are dead to sin,
live any longer therein? 3 Know
ye not, that so many of us as
were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death? 4
Therefore we are buried with
him by baptism into death: that
like as Christ was raised up from
the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also should
walk in newness of life. 5 For
if we have been planted together
in the likeness of his death, we
shall be also in the likeness of
his resurrection: 6 Knowing
this, that our old man is cruci-
fied with him, that the body of
sin might be destroyed, that
henceforth we should not serve
sin.” “Rom 8:5 For they that
are after the flesh do mind the
things of the flesh; but they that
are after the Spirit the things of
the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally
minded is death; but to be spiri-
tually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is
enmity against God: for it is
not subject to the law of God,
neither indeed can be. 8 So then
they that are in the flesh cannot
please God. 9 But ye are not in
the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so
be that the Spirit of God dwell
in you. �ow if any man have
not the Spirit of Christ, he is
none of his.” “2 Cor 5:16
Wherefore henceforth know we
no man after the flesh: yea,
though we have known Christ
after the flesh, yet now hence-
forth know we him no more. 17
Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become
new.” “Eph 4:10 He that
descended is the same also that
ascended up far above all heav-
ens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles;
and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors
and teachers; 12 For the per-
fecting of the saints, for the
work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity
of the faith, and of the knowl-
edge of the Son of God, unto a
perfect man, unto the measure of
the stature of the fulness of
Christ: 14 That we henceforth
be no more children, tossed to
and fro, and carried about with
every wind of doctrine, by the
sleight of men, and cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in
wait to deceive; 15 But speak-
ing the truth in love, may grow
up into him in all things, which
is the head, even Christ: 16
From whom the whole body
fitly joined together and com-
pacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effec-
tual working in the measure of
every part, maketh increase of
the body unto the edifying of
itself in love. 17 This I say
therefore, and testify in the
Lord, that ye henceforth walk
not as other Gentiles walk, in
the vanity of their mind, 18
Having the understanding dark-
ened, being alienated from the
life of God through the igno-
rance that is in them, because of
the blindness of their heart: 19
Who being past feeling have
given themselves over unto las-
civiousness, to work all unclean-
ness with greediness. 20 But ye
have not so learned Christ; 21
If so be that ye have heard him,
and have been taught by him, as
the truth is in Jesus: 22 That
ye put off concerning the former
conversation the old man,
which is corrupt according to the
deceitful (1)lusts; 23 And be
renewed in the spirit of your
mind; 24 And that ye put on
the new man, which after God
is created in righteousness and
true holiness.” “Col 3:1 If ye
then be risen with Christ, seek
those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the
right hand of God. 2 (2)Set
your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth. 3
For ye are dead, and your life is
hid with Christ in God. 4 When
Christ, who is our life, shall
appear, then shall ye also appear
with him in glory. 5 (3)Mortify
therefore your members which
are upon the earth; fornication,
uncleanness, inordinate affec-
tion, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things’ sake the
wrath of God cometh on the
children of disobedience: 7 In
the which ye also walked some
time, when ye lived in them. 8
But now ye also put off all
these; anger, wrath, malice, blas-
phemy, filthy communication
out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one
to another, seeing that ye have
put off the old man with his
deeds; 10 And have put on the
new man, which is renewed in
knowledge after the image of
him that created him: 11 Where
there is neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor uncircumci-
sion, Barbarian, Scythian, bond
nor free: but Christ is all, and in
all.” (KJV)
Definitions:(1)deceitful lusts-
1939 epithumia (ep-ee-thoo-
mee’-ah); from 1937; a longing,
craving (especially for what is
forbidden): KJV— concupis-
cence, desire, lust (after).
(2)Set your affection on things
above, NOT on things on the
earth -5426 phroneo (fron-eh’-
o); from 5424; to exercise the
mind, i.e. entertain or have a
sentiment or opinion; by impli-
cation, to be (mentally) dis-
posed, to interest oneself in
(with concern or obedience), to
feel, to think c) to be of the
same mind, that is, agreed
together, to cherish the same
views, to be harmonious 3) to
direct one’s mind to a thing, to
seek, to strive for: KJV— set the
affection on, (be like-, + be of
one, + be of the same, mind (-
ed), regard, savour, think.
(3)Mortify therefore your mem-
bers which are upon the earth-
3499 nekroo (nek-ro’-o); from
3498; to deaden, i.e. (figurative-
ly) to subdue, 1) to make dead,
to put to death, to slay 3) to
deprive of power, to destroy the
strength of: KJV— be dead,
mortify.
When one professes to belong to
Christ (Christian), and chooses
NOT to be doers of the Word
and work, (James 1:21-25) but
chooses to be spotted with the
world (James1:27) and chooses
to love the world and the things
that are in it, this makes one not
of the Father (1John2:15-17).
According to scripture, this also
makes one an adulterer or an
adulteress, choosing to be a
friend of this world (James4:4-
10). Again, according to scrip-
ture, one that chooses to love
their life in this world, shall lose
their life (eternally) John12:23-
26. Remember, if one, because
of his/her own BELLY, chooses
to mind earthly things, including
the traditions of men, according
to scripture this makes one the
enemy of the Cross of Christ
(Phil.3:16-20)! This then
according to SCRIPTURE,
makes one a DENIER of Christ
and the Father rather than a
DENIER of oneself (Luke 9:22-
26). This also makes one an
A�TICHRIST 1John2:22-23!

James 1:26 If any man among
you seem to be religious, and
bridleth not his tongue, but
deceiveth his own heart, this
man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure
religion and undefiled before
God and the Father is this, To
visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction, and to keep
himself (1)unspotted from the
world. (KJV)
Definitions: (1) keep himself
unspotted 784 aspilos (as’-pee-
los); from 1 (as a negative parti-
cle) and 4695; unblemished
(physically or morally) 1) spot-
less 2) metaphorically, a) free
from censure, irreproachable b)
free from vice, unsullied: KJV—
without spot, unspotted.
(2)from the world 2889 kosmos
(kos’-mos); 6) the ungodly mul-
titude; the whole mass of men
alienated from God, and there-
fore hostile to the cause of
Christ 7) world affairs, the
aggregate of things earthly the
whole circle of earthly goods,
endowments riches, advantages,
pleasures, etc., which although
hollow and frail and fleeting, stir
desire, seduce from God and are
obstacles to the cause of Christ:
KJV— adorning, world.
I Jn 2:15 Love not the world,
neither the things that are in the
world. If any man love the
world, the love of the Father is
not in him. 16 For all that is in
the world, the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world. 17 And the
world passeth away, and the lust
thereof: but he that doeth the
will of God abideth for ever. 18
Little children, it is the last time:
and as ye have heard that
antichrist shall come, even now
are there many antichrists;
whereby we know that it is the
last time. 19 They went out
from us, but they were not of
us; for if they had been of us,
they would no doubt have con-
tinued with us: but they went
out, that they might be made
manifest that they were not all
of us. 20 But ye have an unction
from the Holy One, and ye know
all things. 21 I have not written
unto you because ye know not
the truth, but because ye know
it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a (1)liar but he that
denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
He is (2)antichrist, that (3)deni-
eth the Father and the Son. 23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the
same hath not the Father: (but)
he that (4)acknowledgeth the
Son hath the Father also. 24 Let
that therefore abide in you,
which ye have heard from the
beginning. If that which ye have
heard from the beginning shall
remain in you, ye also shall con-
tinue in the Son, and in the
Father. 25 And this is the prom-
ise that he hath promised us,
even eternal life. 26 These
things have I written unto you
concerning them that seduce
you.(KJV)
Definitions:(1)Who is a liar-
5583 pseustes (psyoos-tace’);
from 5574; a falsifier, liar 2) one
who breaks faith: KJV— liar.
(2)He is antichrist-500
antichristos (an-tee’-khris-tos);
from 473 and 5547; an opponent
of the Messiah, the adversary of
the Messiah: KJV— antichrist.
473 anti (an-tee’); a primary
particle; opposite, i.e. instead or
because of : KJV— for, in the
room of. Often used in composi-
tion to denote contrast, requital,
substitution, etc. (3)that deni-
eth the Father and the Son-720
arneomai (ar-neh’-om-ahee);
perhaps from 1 (as a negative
particle) and the middle voice of
4483; to contradict, i.e. disavow,
reject, 2) to deny someone, 4)
not to accept, to reject, to refuse
something offered, abnegate:
KJV— deny, refuse.(see reject
and belief John12:44-50;
John17:17-24). (4)he that
acknowledgeth the Son hath the
Father also-3670 homologeo
(hom-ol-og-eh’-o); from a com-
pound of the base of 3674 and
3056; i.e. covenant, acknowl-
edge, 1) to say the same thing as
another, that is, to agree with, to
assent 2) to concede a) not to
refuse b) not to deny: KJV—
con- (pro-) fess, confession is
made, give thanks, promise.
We believe that there are some
that perceive, understand and
even believe these truths; but
because of different reasons, do
not choose to accept them. We
believe that weakness maybe
one reason. We also believe that
such ones might ask these ques-
tions: “How can I tell my wife,
husband, children, or friends?”
“How can I tell my father, moth-
er, or kindred, that these are
truths?” The question should be:
“How can a Christian, i.e. fol-
lower of Christ, not tell the truth
to all (the truth being the
WORD)”, (John17:16-17)?
Followers of Christ through his
apostles MUST tell the TRUTH
at all times, for no lie is of the
truth, and there is no lie in
Christ (James 3:14; 1John 1:5-
10 & 2:21-29). Christians must
be strong in the faith, not in a
faith, and have been instructed
to quit like men. “1 Cor 16:13
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith,
(1)quit you like men, be
strong.” Warning, for being
timid, “fearful”; causes damna-
tion. “Rev 21:8 But the (1)fear-
ful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars, shall
have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death.”
Definitions: (1)quit you like
men-407 andrizomai (an-drid’-
zom-ahee);middle voice from
435; to act manly, 2) to show
oneself a man, be brave: KJV—
quit like men. (1)fearful 1169
deilos-timid, fearful
We believe that pride may be
another reason for the refusal of
the truth, in that we don’t like
admitting that we have been
wrong. Jesus said that pride,
among other things is evil, and
defileth the man. Listen: Mark
7:20-23; Mark 9:43-48. This is
true because first of all and most
of all Jesus said it. Secondly,
when it hinders one from saving
his own soul and the souls of
others, by not admitting the truth
by the word, can anything be
more evil? Remember, among
other things the WORD is prof-
itable for correction: 2 Tim
3:16 All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is prof-
itable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: 17 That the man
of God may be perfect, through-
ly furnished unto all good
works. We must not be too
proud to accept the WORD;
after all it is Christ John1:1-18,
and it is what will judge us in
the last day John12:46-50. We
must change our minds and then
our ways if we want to be
SAVED, “Repent” (Mark 9:43-
48; Rom. 12:1-2; 2Pet.3:8-18).
Jesus tells us by scriptures of
the few that chooses not to fol-
low man, but will find and
accept the Word; and the many
that will not accept it (please lis-
ten Matt.7:13-29 and 22:14).
The apostle Paul even speaks of
those that follows not the Word,
because of being blinded by the
god of this world, “the Devil”;
please listen: “2 Cor 4:1
Therefore seeing we have this
ministry, as we have received
mercy, we faint not; 2 But have
renounced the hidden things of
dishonesty, not walking in crafti-
ness, nor handling the word of
God deceitfully; but by manifes-
tation of the truth commending
ourselves to every man’s con-
science in the sight of God. 3
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid
to them that are lost: 4 In whom
the god of this world hath
blinded the minds of them which
believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ, who is
the image of God, should shine
unto them. 5 For we preach not
ourselves, but Christ Jesus the
Lord; and ourselves your ser-
vants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God,
who commanded the light to
shine out of darkness, hath
shined in our hearts, to give the
light of the knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Jesus
Christ.” (Hear also Luke 4:1-13;
1John5:19-21; Rev.12:9 and
13:6-9)
1 Pet 4:17 For the time is come
that judgment must begin at the
house of God: and if it first
begin at us, what shall the end
be of them that obey not the
gospel of God? 18 And if the
(1)righteous (2)scarcely be
saved, where shall the ungodly
and the sinner appear? 19
Wherefore let them that suffer
according to the will of God
commit the keeping of their
souls to him in well doing, as
unto a faithful Creator.
Definitions: (1)righteous-1342
dikaios-righteous, observing
divine laws. (2)scarcely be
saved -3433 molis (mol’-is);
probably by var. for 3425; with
difficulty, 2) not easily, very
rarely: KJV— hardly, scarce (-
ly), + with much work.
Dear reader again, the purpose
of these articles is to seek the
TRUTH according to THE
WORD, thereby exposing
ERROR, for the purpose of sav-
ing our souls. We believe this is
best done by definitions and the
preponderance of scriptures;
which is having superior weight,
force, importance, or influence
of scripture. Again we believe
this allows SCRIPTURE to
INTERPRET SCRIPTURE,
thereby allowing a better under-
standing on that topic. Again,
thank you so much for your
interest in the WORD of
TRUTH; GRACE and Salvation;
John 17:17-21; Acts 20:29-32;
James1:21-25. After all it is our
Map to HEAVEN!

PRECIOUS is Time. Therefore while you have
time, use it to learn and do Gods Commandments
for at the end of life is pay time and your pay will
be according as your work has been. You will find
in 2 Corinthians 5:10 the following: “For we must
all appear before the judgement seat of Christ,
that everyone may recive the things done in his
body according to that he hath done, whether it
be good or evil.” You will find in John 15:14. “Ye
are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command
you.” Solomon said in Proverbs 1:5 “A wise man
will hear and will increase learning, and a man of
understanding will attain unto wise counsel.”
How shall we escape if we neglect to great
Salvation: Hebrew 2:1-3 Salvation is to be worked
out. It will not work itself out; God will not work
it out for us. �o one can work it out for us. It is
the duty of man to work out his own salvation.
How! With fear and trembling. Phil. 2:12. Pray
fervently, attend the Lord’s Day Worship, Be on

Word, Giving as we prosper and taking the

Now that you are trying new
adventures and checking out
happy hours I'm sure you are
meeting all kinds of new people.
We all have expectations when
we meet new people, but they
should not be limited to:
boy + girl = dating
Step away from Facebook,
Twitter, and Skype. Get back to
the simple basics of meeting
people, maybe with a tasteful
compliment, or just a simple
hello. Get out and have a real
human contact experience, look
someone in their eyes, smell
their perfume.
Sometimes you meet people that
are just great listeners, or have
great information on something
you are interested in. Everyone
does not have to be your poten-
tial mate or BFF. Some people
are meant to be just seat fillers;
you enjoy them for that particu-
lar time. They bring something
to the table but are not meant to
STAY at the table.
If you don't spend your entire
evening wondering where this
relationship is going you will
take the pressure off and relax
and really allow yourself to have
a good time.
Enjoy love affairs and great
companionship!
Hang out with someone from a
different culture and explore the
differences in food and music.
Try a restaurant of a different
ethnicity, and allow your palate
and senses to you take you on a
journey. Learn different styles of
dancing and take your show on
the road to a local club that
caters to that style of dancing
and put those moves to use.
International and cultural festi-
vals are a great way to explore
other cultures, without leaving
your own city. Try learning a
new language and if you are not
up to learning an entire new lan-
guage, learn words that you can
build upon. It often surprises
people when you can greet them
in their native tongue.
It's great to remain in contact
with people you meet along the
way that live or move to other
cities, states and even countries.
It allows you to have friends in
all sorts of places when you
travel, or can even connect your
friends when they travel or
move to other locations.
Remember to reconnect not just
on places but people as well, and
always share freely with others
that can benefit from it.

Note-As we near the end of the
current football season, more
coaches than I can remember on
on the hot seat. This year may
be a record for coaches being
fired and replaced on all levels. I
read this column, looking for
something else and decided to
use it again. Football is such a
wierd game because no matter
how bad the players perform-
coaches always get the complete
blame for it!
Plain and simple, nothing makes
me happier than the end of July.
This means dear readers that
August begins another football
season and hopes and dreams of
success fill the hearts of fans all
across the fruited plains.
Everyone has a deep dream that
this is their season; the one that
they have waited for all their
lives. By the first of February,
January and December, pro, col-
lege and high school fans will
watch someone else celebrate
and the tears of disappointment
will occupy the faces of every-
one. Then the long, hard off sea-
son and the wait to August
begins. But our August is here
and happiness is seen on football
fans everywhere. Reading our
pre season magazines hoping to
give our dreams a doze of reality
is the talk at water coolers all
over the country. I was asked by
a fan of the newspaper what I
would do to make my team a
winner. I told him to read the
next edition of A KING SIZE
VIEW and I would provide the
answer. Now first let me say at
each level, the only way to have
a possible winner is to have out-
standing players, a great coach-
ing staff and a support staff that
all have one goal-winning! Now
I must add that even having
those things may increase your
chances of winning but it does-
n’t guarantee it. Great teams
have failed to win champi-
onships. So as stated at the top
of this column, here is the way I
see it.
A quarterback must be in place-
Unlike athletes in key positions
in other sports, a quarterback is
essential to the success/failure of
a team. He is the team leader, a
person everyone counts on when
the game is on the line and a big
play is needed to win. The coach
counts on him to keep everyone
focused on the job at hand and
his leadership is the main key
towards winning.
A defensive leader: middle line-
backer-Simply put this is the
physical leader of the team. He
takes a lot of punishment but
gives even more. He is always
hurt, but he never leaves the
field. He yells at the defense and
offense players. He is a coach on
the field, in the sideline and in
the locker room. A middle line-
backer asks for no sympathy and
he gives none.
A receiver that makes big/small
plays-A great receiver has two
simple roles; make the big catch
every game and yet make the
simple catch that doesn’t make a
lot of conversations but when
you look at the film those catch-
es paid dividends that help seal
the win. He must make key
blocks to help secure first downs
and he must bail out his quarter-
back when the pass rush is about
to wreck havoc on the offense.
A defensive end that seeks and
destroys the quarterback-A great
defensive end has only one role;
rush the pocket and sack the
quarterback. He must attack,
attack, attack all the time. He
must be relentless and simply
put a very mean man. He may
be pound for pound the best
conditioned athlete on the team.
A kicker with no nerves-Watch
the loneliest player on the team
as he sits and waits until his
name is called. He practices with
the holder by himself. He must
be relaxed ready to contribute
when asked. The weather condi-
tions could be sunny, rainy, and
cold with snow and or biting
with gusty wind. Sometimes the
kicker must kick with the game
on the line. He must produce
when he is called. The clock is
about to strike zero. The kick is
in the air……..
A head coach that pushes the
right buttons-A head coach must
be leader, teacher, parent and
enforcer along with other roles
all into one. He doesn’t sleep for
several months at a time, must
be careful regarding is diet and
be very careful with his health.
He must trust his assistant
coaches to develop a top game
plan implement it and be pre-
pared to make changes when
everything is going wrong. He
must be able to go with his
hunches when everyone warns
him it won’t work. He must
know which players to trust and
replace –players that aren’t pro-
ducing. He must face the public
and accept the criticisms for fail-
ures and be humble after wins.
He must have that fire in his
belly to wake up the nest day,
ready to compete.
Trust me there be more to add to
this list. As I stated earlier, noth-
ing is guaranteed for success but
if none of the listed items are
present and this one is not there,
the desire to win, then it won’t
and I repeat won’t happen. Give
me a team that all want to win
and work hard at everything
they do, they’ll win. Maybe not
on the field, but in life itself. I’ll
take life winners every time.
That’s just the way I see it!

Humble, Texas-It was only five
of them on this cool brisk night
but the North Forest
Cheerleaders had themselves a
ball as their team won for the
11th in as many games.
Diamond Holmes the charming
and talented daughter of Denise
and Willie Holmes is a junior
co-captain on the squad and cer-
tainly likes her job. “Oh sir you
can’t believe how much I love
cheering for our team and for
our team to be undefeated and
all our stands are filled with fans
you couldn’t ask for anything
better”.
In the classroom Holmes is a
straight A student and likes
English best because she says
she loves to write as well as l
read poems. “English has
always been interesting to me
ever since I was little; it’s been
my favorite and I’m always
done well in my English class-
es”.
With a desire to go into the med-
ical profession Holmes made it
clear she wants to become a
Pediatrician and simply has a
love for young children. “I
guess it’s because I have some
little nieces and nephews and I
love caring for them”. She also
made it clear she wants to attend
the Prairie View A & M
University School of Medicine
to get started on her profession.
In addition to cheering Diamond
says she had a very special feel-
ing for hair care and thinks hav-
ing a beauty shop could be a
good line of work. “Again I feel
working with hair care is a great
past time for me and it’s defi-
nitely in my future also”.
On Sundays you’ll find the
Holmes family over at Greater
New Caney Missionary Baptist
Church where Diamond praise
dances as well as sings in the
choir.
When asked if she could do any-
thing over in life she said per-
haps the fifth grade. “I truly
believe I could have been more
focused in that grade and
applied myself more”.
On the subject of the 2012
Presidential Election Homes
says she feels President Barack
Obama deserved another term so
he can continue to get the econ-
omy right. “I truly believe dur-
ing his second term the
President will continue to get
our country back on track and
improve our economy”.
Crediting her father (Willie
Holmes) with being her most
driving force in life, Diamond
said he has simply always pro-
vided her with the tools to be
successful. “Everything I’ve
needed in school he has provid-
ed for me and he has always
pushed me to be my best at all
times; he even made sure I did
my homework”.
Describing herself as a very hard
working and respectful young
lady who can get along with
anyone, Diamond is the kind of
person that makes doing this
Fiesta Student of the Week so
wonderful.
In closing we want to commend
Denise and Willie Holmes on
doing a wonderful job with their
daughter. In little or no time
when your child becomes ill you
will be able to take them to Dr.
Diamond Holmes and get them
well again!

Humble, Texas-As the old say-
ing goes a good quarterback
goes a long ways in having a
good offense. That’s certainly
the case for the North Forest
Bulldogs as they whipped Fort
Bend Ridge Point 41-23 at
Turner Stadium in Humble. Yes
senior quarterback Darrell Julian
kept the Panthers defense off
guard all night long. Rushing
for game high 131 yards and hit-
ting on four of five passes for 44
more yards Julian took care of
business. “You know sir at any
level of football the quarterback
has to be the leader on offense
and at the half I talked with our
team and told them to keep their
heads up and keep working hard
because we had another half to
go”. Julian reminded his team-
mates they must keep going to
the weight room and make sure
they stay focused and keep win-
ning football teams. “We can go
to state because all during the
summer we were in the weight
room at 5 o’clock and that went
for everybody”.
Working under Coach Atkins
and his staff has been a pleasure
for Julian and his teammates.
“We respect all our coaches and
especially Coach Atkins because
he makes sure we hit the
weights and you saw our center
played well as did the rest of the
offensive line”. The talented
quarterback who has some very
good runs in the game and the
only incomplete pass he had was
dropped in the end zone for
what would have been a 40 yard
touchdown. “We had a 100%
effort tonight and that’s what it
going to take for us to go to
state”.
Julian credited Ridge Point and
De Marcus Johnson for playing
a great game but the Bulldogs
kept working hard and got the
win. “They have a good back
and they played us hard but in
the end we got the better hand
on them”.
Leadership is the key to the suc-
cess of any football team and
after watching Julian for the sev-
eral times I’m convinced he has
what it takes to take his team
places.
DARRELL JULIAN-NORTH FOREST
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Humble, Texas-Continuing to be
the new kid on the block, the
Bulldogs of North Forest High
School are snapping their way
through the first 11 games.
Beating teams by the 50s going
into the playoffs, they faced a
stubborn Ridge Point High
School group of Panthers who
hang around. But in the end the
Bulldogs wore them down and
got a 41-23 win just in time for
Thanksgiving and earned a berth
in the area round of action.
Thanks mainly to the line play
of David Vasquez and the rest of
offensive front they got the job
done. Anthony Jones scored
three times in the early going
and the Panthers simply could
not catch up. But Vasquez
explained how the Bulldogs
have been so successful this
year. “I tell your sir, it’s hard
work and dedication; that's what
makes this team tick and the
offensive line must work hard
on the weights so we can move
people out the way so our backs
can get yards”. The talented
senior went on to say they cer-
tainly must protect their quarter-
back in order for the offense to
jell. “We’ve got to keep Darrell
(Julian) free to do his thing and
that’s the offensive lines job
first of all”.
As we talked more with
Vasquez we learned he also
feels the coaching staff is anoth-
er key to success for North
Forest.
In closing he added the team has
some real good workouts for the
offensive line and playing the
game is easy after what they go
through in workouts in prepara-
tion.

Humble, Texas-When the game
was on the line the high pow-
ered North Forest Bulldogs
defense came up with the big
plays. One of which was line-
backer De Marcus Spurlock’s
recovery of a blocked punt for a
score to basically put the game
out of reach at 34-17. Then
teammate Tyrus Jones returned
an interception for another score
to make it 41-17 and even
though the Panthers would add
another score at the end for a
41-23 final, the game was basi-
cally over after Spurlock’s score.
We spoke with linebacker De
Marcus Spurlock about his big
play. “We just executed and the
ball came free and I grabbed it
for the score”. The solid line-
backer was all over the field and
the Bulldogs like to swarm to
the football and have a number
of guys on this squad who will
simply hit you. “Our coaches
did a great job of scouting Ridge
Point and we knew what they
wanted to do and stopped them
from doing it”.
As we continued talking with
Spurlock we asked him how the
team handled all the adversity
about the school district. “We
used that as motivation as well
and it actually helped us to
focus on getting ready for the
season”. It was a great answer
to a serious question and it
showed just how focused this
team is and it could help them
not just in the playoffs but the
rest of their lives. “I think we
are just that good because we
worked hard for it and we knew
we had to continue to be a fami-
ly on this team”.
Beating Wheatley 81-14 in the
season finale the Bulldogs were
snapping at the bits to get into
the playoffs and it showed. “We
just wanted people to know
North Forest is for real and
we’ve been working very hard
for this day and I’m proud to be
part of this team”.
