Two Chapman City Council seats and the Office of Mayor are open for candidates. The positions are currently held by Council members Ron Kabat and Dale Nelson, and Mayor Phil Weishaar. All offices are two year terms.

Chapman City Clerk Terra Hummel said those who wish to file need to be a registered voter. The filing fee is $5. Those interested can file at the Chapman City Office or at the Dickinson County Courthouse in Abilene. The deadline to file is noon on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014. The election is April 1, 2014.

The City Office reported that some applications had been given out, but as of last Thursday, no one had filed. The County Courthouse also said that no one had filed as of last week.

Ron Kabat, who is completing his third term as a council - man, said in an email that he is planning to file, and seek a fourth term. His initial term as a councilman began in April 2007, and he has been re-elected twice. Kabat said he would like to continue to work on programs the council has ini - tiated, such as the Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP), the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, and others.

Kabat said the council is also researching a current project to bring more revenue into the city which can be directed toward street improvements and the CDBG program.

Councilman Dale Nelson, who has served for four years, said he is not planning to run for re-election.

“I’ve had two great terms, four years total, and during the past four years the City Council has made a lot of posi - tive decisions that included moving ahead with Economical Development and becoming more business minded with utilities. We also instituted an evaluation system for the City Manager and implemented a Capital Improvement Plan. Our city finance records are as good as any in the state,” Nelson said. He said while there have been a great number of positive accomplishments in the past four years, he did not plan to run for re-election.

At press time, Mayor Weishaar had not yet disclosed his intentions for office. See Alamo Bowl - pg. 2

CHS band and dance team members enjoyed a trip to Texas over their Christmas break, and scored second in their own competition at the Alamo Bowl activities. The activities were featured around the college bowl game which took place Dec. 30 between Oregon and Texas.

The band and dance team performed the routine that Chapman fans have watched during Chapman’s own halftime events, and scored second place in their size category for the performance. Dance team sponsor Jill Sallman said the competition was the band and dance team’s own performance, but they also learned two new numbers for their halftime performance.

“The halftime performance was choreographed and the music picked by the Alamo, so they had two songs and two dances they had to learn,” Sallman said.

She was proud of the students. “I think they had a really good time and performed

well, both in competition and at the halftime perform - ance,” Sallman said. “They represented the school really well.”

Former Chapman music director Marc Riegel directed the band, with Assistant Director Angeline Wheeler, and teacher assistant Jennifer Hasenbank.

Adults who accompanied the students during the Dec. 27-31, five day trip included Dwynne Riegel, Kevin Suther, Conni Suther, Jill Sallman, Eli Sallman, Ella Moloney, Lisabeth Ford, Melinda Parks, Jennifer Steede, Tracy Schmidt, and Robert Smith.

The Chapman High School Band represented our school and community with great pride and profession - alism.

CHS principal Kevin Suther said the event was a great experience for the students to meet students from all over the country and experience the atmosphere of a large band by playing at halftime with over 2,000 band members, flag performers, and dancers.

“Hopefully, it will inspire students to play at the next level in college,” Suther said.

What experts referred to as a ‘polar vortex’ brought dan - gerously cold temps across the Midwest last Sunday, clos - ing schools throughout the Midwest on Monday, including USD 473.

Local residents awoke Monday to temperatures well below zero, and dangerous wind chills of minus 32 degrees, as the arctic air mass pushed its way southward.

Reports said the chilling temps had not been seen for two decades in many parts of the country.

In the Chapman and Enterprise area, about three inches of snow fell Saturday night, prior to the cold blast.

The winter weather moved eastward, and by Tuesday, January 7, temps rose to the 30s, helping to melt some snow and allow classes to resume from their Winter Break.

City Administrator Gerry Bieker told council members that 2013 was a good year for Chapman, and 2014 is off to a good start. The one cent sales tax revenue that started in January 2012 had brought in revenue well above the estimates and budgeted amount.

“I feel really good about 2013. We were able to pur - chase a lot of things, and a lot of positive growth is tak - ing place,” Bieker told coun - cil members at the January 8 city meeting.

Bieker shared details in an email, saying the revenue from the City of Chapman one cent sales tax for the cal - endar year 2013 was $106,392.

“This is well beyond early estimates of $60,000 to $70,000, and the 2013 budget of $76,564,” Bieker said.

“This is huge as it relates to repaying the Grocery Store Incentive Bond and also paying for the 2014 Street Improvement Project Bonding.”

Bieker said the City ended the year with cash levels above the beginning 2013 levels in all of the Utility Funds and the General Fund.

“After removing the remaining dollars from the Grocery Store Bond and the 2013 Temp notes, the City of Chapman ended the year with just short of $100,000 more cash than the 2012 ending balances,” Bieker said, adding he was very excited about 2014.

He said the Chapman Health and Activity Program which was imple - mented in April 2012, was also working well, and brought in $45,000.

Bieker said the general

fund had grown in both revenue and expenditures, due to moving the street department and golf course fund into the general fund. The change that took place three years ago, according to Bieker, who provided the results to the council.

Councilman Dale Nelson said he liked the part that said expenses were under budget this year.

Bieker said every fund within the general fund was within budget, and that no one had gone over budget.

“I was telling the guys that this morning- that was a great deal,” Bieker said. “We get to start the year in the general fund with a $21,000 head start. That’s equivalent to three mils, so that is a big deal,” Bieker said.

Besides the city finances being in good shape, resi - dents are also enjoying lower costs for energy due to

the city’s new contract with KMEA (Kansas Municipal Energy Agency). Bieker said the average ECA (Energy Cost Adjustment) for the months of January through May was .027 cents per Kwh.

Bieker said the average ECA for the months of June through October was .003 cents per Kwh.

“The result of this differ - ence is an estimated $123,000 savings to the cus - tomers of the Chapman elec - tric utility over the past five months,” Bieker said. “The savings from the new con - tract are applied directly to the customer through the reduction of the ECA.”

Bieker said the City has tried to keep costs down and pass them on to the cus - tomer.

“We are not always able to have this kind of dramatic success, but love it when it

happens!” Bieker said. Police Chief Halfhill New Chapman Police

Chief Emil Halfhill was introduced to council mem - bers and those present at the city meeting. Chief Halfhill said he had brought some cold weather in from Western Kansas where he had lived prior to starting his job on January 2.

“I hope I didn’t bring the drought as well,” Halfhill joked.

He thanked the council for the opportunity to serve Chapman, and said he’d been out meeting the people as much as the cold weather would allow. He reiterated that his door is always open.

“No matter the need, whether it’s a complaint or anything, I’m ready to listen or help,” Halfhill said.

He said there had been no fender benders or trouble due to the arctic cold that

had moved into the area last Sunday.

“Everyone is being care - ful. The weather came and went, and everything moved along pretty well,” Halfhill said. He credited the city workers for doing excellent snow removal and for the absence of problems.

“As a new citizen, myself and my family appreciated how well the city cleaned the streets, not just the main thoroughfares but all the city streets,” Halfhill said. “It’s a warm welcoming feel - ing that they care enough to clear the whole town. That makes our jobs much easier as well.”

Councilman Nelson said later in the meeting that he had also heard good reports concerning the snow removal, and that he’d heard in particular about the

Joe and Bari Stalder of Chapman announce the engagement of their daugh - ter, Jordan Shará Stalder to Mark Anthony Elliott, son of Calvin and Luella Elliott of Abilene. Both the bride and groom-to-be are 2009 graduates of Chapman High School.

The arctic air mass called a polar vortex that pushed through the area last Sunday left us all shivering in our snow boots! I could hardly believe it when I stepped outside Tuesday and 25 degrees actually felt warm! I’m sure there were some frozen pipes, which are never fun, and other stories about making it through the extreme cold. We are all just thankful it was short lived, after Sunday and Monday, the 30s and 40s that followed seemed almost like spring.

• Adrian (Geist) Hettenbach, who works at Dickinson County Bank in Enterprise and lives north - west of Solomon on the Ottawa County Line knew better than to even try to head out Monday morning in the deep freeze. She and her husband Matt wanted to help shovel snow on Sunday for her folks in Abilene, but the couple only got about ¾ miles from their rural home, and got stuck in the snow - drift so bad, it took them four hours to get back to the house, which they could see from their stranded truck. The drifts had also stranded two other vehicles in the night. Since they had a 4- wheel drive truck, Matt thought he might be able to push through. Adrian said he went into the 4 to 5 foot snowdrift hard enough to

pop the belt off, leaving them without power steer - ing, heat, or power brakes. Since their 4-wheeler was in the back of the truck, he got on that and headed back to the house to get a small trac - tor. Adrian watched from the

iced windows of the cold truck as within 10 short minutes his tracks were gone, covered by the drifting snow. He finally made it back, scooping his way toward the truck,

accompanied by their dog, a chocolate lab with a frozen face by now. The Honda Civic that was stuck on the road had snow nearly to the roof of the car. Matt finally got the belt back on, and the young couple got the truck back home, four hours later. Adrian decided to wait until the county got the road cleared before venturing out again. She said the lesson learned was that sometimes you really just need to stay home. She said this spring the Ottawa county workers plan to build up the rural road so drifting won’t be so bad.

• Edna Blackwell enjoyed a four day visit from her son, Jeff Blackwell, of Frankston, Texas. Edna said they enjoyed several dinners out, and good times with family. She also enjoyed a new year’s eve party at Jack and Mary Blackwell’s home in Enterprise. Also attending was Jim Blackwell and his girlfriend from Salina.

• USD 473 Superintendent Lacee Sell shared that the district enrolled 28 new stu - dents over the Christmas break. She said eight stu - dents had withdrawn, so a total of 20 students was gained, a number worth celebrating. Chapman began the 2013-14 school year with an opening enrollment of 1,066. Today there are 1,085, according to Lacee. She said many are military asso - ciated, and the district is happy to welcome each one.

• My husband Steve and I watched the Kansas episode of Finding Bigfoot Sunday night, January 12, with fun interest, as we had attended the town hall meeting in Wichita last January when the television crew and stars were filming. We saw our - selves in the group gathered there, and I was happy to see Steve showing up more than me, since he is the main Bigfoot enthusiast in our home. We enjoyed the show, and felt like Kansas was well represented, with its rivers, woods, and farmlands. We also had to laugh at the remarks made by the stars about the extreme cold, and being ready to click their heels together and ‘get out of here!’ But that is Kansas in January! And just a note- no Bigfoot was discovered, but the stars of the show felt like Bigfoot do pass through Kansas.

The Jolly Jayhawkers cele - brated Christmas by giving to the community. On November 26, they worked with Proscape to plant a live pine tree in front of the fire station in Woodbine. The tree will serve as the town’s Christmas Tree for many years to come. The members also opted to bring food items for the Woodbine Community Pantry instead of a gift exchange.

On December 8, the group began the evening with pre - paring fruit and cookies trays. Caroling groups were formed and the trays were delivered to the elderly and the club’s supporters in Woodbine. Upon return the club held their monthly meeting with Tanner Hettenbach calling the meet - ing to order at the Woodbine United Methodist Church. Present were 14 members, two leaders, nine parents, and two guests - Makayla Coup and Mackenzie Hall. Logan Diekmann led the flag salute and 4-H pledge.

He said the band and dancers were able to show off their talents and compete at a high level by getting second place in the Field Show competition.

“It also gives them a chance to see other bands to give us ideas and what to strive for in the future,” Suther said.

Those on the trip also got the opportunity to visit the Alamo, Six Flags, the Hard Rock Cafe, the Riverwalk, and attend an awards dinner and dance.

Bieker said three of the city workers had operated the bobcat.

“We’ve got three good operators,” Bieker said.

Longtime City worker Ed Wehrmeister was asked if it had taken a lot more time due to Irish Drive and the newly acquired Highway 206 which is now the city’s responsibility. Wehrmeister said with the two extra pieces of equipment, the job went well, and didn’t require much additional time.

Mayor Weishaar also noted the excellent snow removal, and said the city crew had been out during the night time hours to get the job done. He’d not heard any complaints which would have been forthcom - ing had the job not been done well.

Grocery Store Update The council heard an

update on the grocery store from City Atty Doug Thompson. Thompson said Wildcat Construction Co.

will soon be building the vestibule area in front, which will have automatic doors facing east and west. Grocery carts will be kept there as well. Thompson said the hardest part, which was all the paperwork, was done. He has not officially released the name of the company which will manage the store, but said the gro - cery chain has 12 stores within Kansas and Nebraska, and one near to Chapman. Thompson said there was a verbal commit - ment and he was moving in that direction. The company had compared utility rates, and was pleased with the rates of Chapman, and that the city leadership had maintained its own genera - tion system.

“With frozen products, that is a pretty big deal, knowing there is a generator right here that will pick it up and go from there, was very important to them. They are looking forward to opening,” Thompson said.

He also said others had contacted him, and told him if the agreement doesn’t

happen, they wanted to be a player. He said asphalt will hopefully be laid in February. He had reported at a prior meeting he hoped for a mid-March opening.

In other business, the council:

• Approved the Chapman and Enterprise News-Times and the Abilene Reflector Chronicle as the official newspapers. Bieker said it was recommended to have both newspapers, because of the need to sometimes pub - lish something more quickly. He said the Reflector Chronicle would be utilized as needed, but Chapman would be the primary news - paper.

• Approved a new cereal malt beverage license for Dara’s Fast Lane at the same address of the current Cook’s Corner. Mayor Weishaar said it is the city’s understanding that Dara’s will likely take over at some point and time. If Dara’s Fast Lane takes over, the license would be ready in that aspect.

OBITUARIES

K eith A rlo W olfenbarger, M .D .

C ow boys dow n Irish

Keith Arlo Wolfenbarger, M.D., (Sept. 2, 1927 – Oct. 12, 2013) passed away at his home in Minnesott Beach, N.C., surrounded by family.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Judy H. Wolfenbarger, his parents, Hoyt and Laura Saylor Wolfenbarger, his sister, Carolie W. Hoffman, and his son-in- law, Thomas G. Dugan.

He is survived by his three daughters, Bellvia H.W. “Missy” Baskervill and husband, Robert D., of Arapahoe, N.C., Laura Saylor Wolfenbarger Dugan of Oriental, N.C., and Jane W. Emmart and husband, Mark, of Wilmington, N.C.; two granddaughters, Saylor and Kathryn Emmart, of Wilmington, N.C.; one nephew, Kevin McKeeman of Abilene; and three step-children, Susan Brunell, Bert Brunell and Anne Bitter.

Dr. Wolfenbarger knew he wanted to be a medical doctor at the early age of 13 and graduated from the University of Kansas Medical School in 1958. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity during his college years and was later inducted as a member of The Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society, (Prof. Honorary), and Phi Chi Fraternity, (Prof. Honorary). During work on his PhD in entomology, he performed research for the U.S. Navy in acarology where he discovered several new species of Trombiculidae.

“Wolfie” practiced medicine until he was 75 years old but maintained a very active life in addition to his medical practice. He owned and operated a ranch in northern New Mexico, built and operated a 150-slip marina in Eastern, N.C., and enjoyed flying his private planes around North and South America, as well as sailing his boats along the southeastern Atlantic Coast and Gulf of Mexico.

Coming from a long line of farmers, he himself was a farmer at heart. He loved the soil and the land, a love that undoubtedly stemmed from his Native American Heritage. He greatly respected and loved animals and had a special place in his heart for the most innocent and helpless of God’s Creatures.

“Wolfie” was a survivor. This characteristic was most evident after a brush with death in 1980 when he was lost at sea for 14 days on a life raft with no food and little water. He fought for his life so that he would be here to care for his family and others.

He is greatly loved by his family and will be sorely missed by those who knew him.

Timothy Coles, Chapman High School class of 2007, has been named to the Kansas State University College of Education Fall 2013 Dean’s Scholastic Honors List. This is a reflection of commitment to the pursuit of excellence. Criteria for receiving this honor includes completion of a minimum of 12 graded credit hours with at least a 3.75 G.P.A.

Timothy is the son of Ron and Barbara Thomas, rural Chapman, and Dustin Coles of Topeka. Timothy is scheduled to graduate in May with a bachelor’s degree in secondary education with an emphasis in math.

The monthly meeting for the Fragrant Hilltoppers was called to order by Cale Caldwell. 7:00 p.m., Thursday, at the Blue Ridge School, after a delicious meal provided from the Heintz and Hambrights. The Pledge of Allegiance and 4-H pledge was led by Adrain Fink and Allison Whitebread. Roll call was “Name one project goal for the year.” Nineteen members, one leader, and 11 par - ents attended the meeting. Our song was lead by Allison Whitebread and Raycelon Kuntz. We sang Happy Birthday to Gretchen Hill for her upcoming birthday. Our treasure was announced by Justin Hultgren saying we have a balance of $620.03. Raycelon Kuntz gave the reporter’s report and then Sherri Reinhart gave her lead - ers report stating that we all had to sign the constitution and thank you card. She also talked about basketball sign ups and announced that we would be practicing model meeting afterwards. Sherri required that we be at the Presbyterian Church by 8:00 a.m., for model meeting. We had three interesting programs by Grant Heintz, who gave a speech about his Lego EV3 Mindstorm, Callie Jones, taught us how to make yummy chocolate covered pretzels, and Allison Whitebread, showed us how to make ice cream floats. Adrian Fink moved we adjourn the meet - ing by standing and saying the club motto.

“Two bits, 4 bits, 6 bits, a dollar, all for Enterprise stand up and holler!” “Go Bulldogs!”

Bruce Dalton June Mears Curry Froelich died on December 24.

She was, like this writer, a graduate of Enterprise High School in 1940, the largest class in its history, 13 girls, 13 boys, 26 total. For information about the school, read Ellen Peterson but certainly the 2004 book “Thanks For The Memories,” put together by Kitty Mills Dalton and Pat Linngren McCreary with the help of Ira Duer, James Hoisington, Raymond Erickson, R.W. Cook, Norman Lungstrom, Marilyn Menges, Kenton Shaw & others. It lists all the classes, often with pictures and biographical sketches.

Known survivors of EHS 1940 include Reed Hoffman, Maxine Taylor Fiedler, (birthday January 14), perhaps the senior of survivors, Betty Jane Fiedler Longhofer, David Wilmer Smith, Joyce Hacker Specter (sister-in-law of the Senator), probably Raymond (Tick) Suarez, possibly Mary Ewald, from the class of 1942 Marvin Geist, 1943 Delbert Smith, Oliver and Orville Gasswint, maybe Bruce Henoch.

Shirley Harden, related to Polly Montgomery who sold milk, lived in the first house northeast of the old bridge, was Executive Secretary to movie mogul Darryl F. Zanuck, is not listed as a graduate but is in several pictures. Of the 1939 class Harry F. Jones trans - ferred to Chapman, starred in football and track. Ivan Simpson and Myrle Widler were pictured but did not graduate. We think the schools only minority gradu - ates were Tom and Tick Suarez. Charles Orton Shrader would have graduated in 1944 but joined the military, afterwards came home and took classes from Mabel Ruth King and Loren Rock, graduated but never got his name on the lists.

We have a guestbook of the EHS reunion of May 1983. The same book was used for the 1987 “Open House” of the Dickinson County Bank after extensive remodeling. We counted 511 names, everybody who was anybody in the area banking world showed up and a lot of customers, friends and probably you. Some of the names were; Lena Benson, Elvin Bailey, Mabel Ruth King, Fred Kelly, Henry Jameson, Ed Jacobs, Bill Beckmeyer, Frances Mark, & Herb Powell.

• John C. Mears was a clothing salesman, and had a store next to Froelichs.

• Thirty men at Enterprise United Methodist church breakfast heard Armando Reyes talk about his expe - rience as an airline flight attendant and his recently completed four year military service.

• The library has a book about the bad feelings between K.U. and M.U. over the Orange Bowl in 2007, causing M.U. to leave the conference. The Missouri quarterback that year, Chase Daniel, unheard of by us was the all game replacement quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs in the game they barely lost to San Diego.

• Adam Griffith, the backup selected by coach Saban to kick a winning field goal in the final second of the game, saw it returned for a touchdown. This was his second leap for fame, previously making a cameo appearance in the movie “Blind Side.”

• President Obama could stick pins every day in a doll figure of publisher Rupert Murdock. Murdock is the publisher of the Wall St. Journal, which is destroy - ing Obama, printing two or three editorials about his corrupt administration every day.

• We stayed up late New Years to watch the New Year come in but instead watched “That’s Entertainment” on Turner Classic Movies.

• The Hoffman residence’s furnace was inoperative from noon Monday, December 30 through Friday, January 3, not fun for the occupant.

• Charles Shrader has been undersheriff, County Clerk, CEO of Upland Insurance.

• Reading Mark Steyn’s book, “Lights out,” has us convinced that Muslims will drive Christianity out of Europe this century.

• Twenty-two Methodists showed up last snowy Sunday for church.

• How did Dickinson County residents stay warm in 1868?

A P asto r’s V iew p o in t Teller Tales by Reed H o ffm a n

Jyll Phillips

Slightly Off-Key

New Year’s resolutions are interesting, aren’t they?

I found a website called USA.gov that lists 14 of the most popular New Year’s resolutions. They are, in order, lose weight; volunteer to help others; quit smoking; get a better education; get a better job; save money; get fit; eat healthy food; manage stress; manage debt; take a trip; reduce, reuse, and recy - cle; and drink less alcohol.

In other words, those who make all these resolutions are basically saying in 2014 they want to acquire a per - fect life.

Here’s the deal. If you eat healthy food, drink less alcohol, and get fit, you are inevitably going to lose weight. If you get a better education you’ll qualify for a better job. If you have a better job, you can save money, and if you save money you’ll be able to manage debt and stress bet - ter, and take a trip! Then you wouldn’t have to reduce, reuse or recycle unless you just wanted to!

But, what constitutes a better education? Do they mean more education, or do

they mean go to an Ivy League school? I’m thinking the School of Hard Knocks is a pretty good education for someone willing to learn, and tuition is paid through experience. If you can man - age to get through it without getting knocked down very often it’s a pretty cheap edu - cation.

And what exactly consti - tutes a better job? One that has a bigger paycheck attached to it? One that comes with benefits? One that brings prestige? Often those kinds of jobs come with a lot more stress. Is it worth it?

The one about volunteer - ing to help others makes me laugh. This is not a political statement at all, but doesn’t that about prove that Washington is out of touch with our reality in rural communities? Our firefight - ers are volunteers, many on our emergency crews are volunteers, we jump in and help during community clean up days, sit on a vari - ety of boards for non-profits, and are generally available for whatever we are asked to do. We do this because if we didn’t it wouldn’t get done, because there is not enough money in rural com - munities to pay someone to do everything.

We’ve got this volunteer - ing thing. No resolution required on this one.

About losing weight ... do you really want to lose pounds, or do you really just want to look better? And, do you want to look better, or do you really want to feel better? Interesting food for thought, wouldn’t you say?

That kind of food is not the least bit fattening.

I’m thinking if we felt bet - ter, we’d look better any - way, and if we looked better we wouldn’t worry so much about the pounds. Just a thought.

Maybe we should just throw away our scales and our mirrors and be done with the whole thing.

I think I’m going to go about this in a little different way this year.

I think will resolve to feel better.

I think if I felt better, I’d eat healthier because I’d have more energy and a more positive outlook and wouldn’t mind the effort it takes to make a salad or actually cook for myself. Imagine life without hot - dogs or frozen dinners!

I think if I felt better, I would get fit because it would feel good to get out - side and walk or jump on the stairmaster thingy in my dining room while I watched The Big Bang Theory and ate my healthy food.

I think if I felt better there would be less stress to be managed, and I would drink less alcohol (not that I drink a lot of it to begin with) because I’d want to keep feeling better.

I think if I felt better, my volunteer hours would be more productive and less exhausting.

I think if I felt better, I would do better at the job I have that I like and I wouldn’t have to go about trying to find a “better” one.

I think if I felt better, the whole stress thing would be

a breeze, and managing debt might actually be kind of a fun exercise.

The tricky part is that the term “better” is a little ambiguous. Better can mean different things to different people. What seems “better” to me, might not seem “bet - ter” to you at all which means I should probably be more definitive with my New Year’s resolutions.

The other tricky part is that I need a plan.

So here I go. I resolve to fold, hang,

and put away my clean laundry as soon as it comes out of the dryer. Not having a pile of clean clothes on my dryer or on my bed would keep my house tidier, and I wouldn’t have to sleep on the couch now and then because my bed is piled with clean clothes. I feel bet - ter already.

I resolve never to run out of toilet paper.

I resolve to drink more water and eat more vege - tables.

I resolve to stick to the plan I have made to become more physically fit.

I resolve to smile more and frown less, even if I look like I’m up to something, or worse yet, an idiot.

I resolve to think before I speak, which is a difficult task for someone with ADHD but it can be done and I resolve to prove it.

And last but not least, I resolve not to beat myself up if at any time I fail to stick to one of the aforemen - tioned resolutions.

What? You thought I could do all this without a disclaimer?

Thoughts of Home

Everyone has heard this time-honored cli - ché: “There’s no place like home.” In reality most of us believe this. We may spend large sums of money on exotic cruises; we may dream of vaca - tioning in Paris; we save money for that long awaited month in the British Isles. So eventually we realize our dreams. We travel abroad and then return home having spent thousands of dollars in a rather short time. Most likely when we unlock the front door of our house, we will say with exul - tation, “Oh! It’s great to

be home.” My spouse Mary Anne

and I have enjoyed rather modest trips over the years. We spent three

weeks in E n g l a n d , S w i t z e r l a n d , Italy, France and New York City. We saw wonder - ful examples of a r c h i t e c t u r e including the Cathedral of

Notre Dame in Paris, and we saw many great works of art including “The Birth of Venus” in Florence. We also enjoyed gourmet din - ing in some great restau - rants. We have had one trip to Halifax Nova Scotia. Other than that we have remained within the borders of the United States. We both love being in the United Methodist

parsonage here in Chapman.

Recently I was reading about a fable from the Jewish tradition. A man left his home to seek the great city of light far away. He spent an entire day walking toward his des - tination. Just before sunset he decided to stop and camp for the night. As he prepared to go to bed, he carefully placed his shoes on the ground facing in the direction he was headed. He wanted to make sure that he would head in the right direction the next morning.

His best laid plans went astray. During the night a stranger came along and turned the man’s shoes around. In the morning the traveler awaking put on his shoes, and set out on his journey. Thinking

he was still headed to the city of light, he again walked all day. Just before sunset he came to a city that looked quite familiar to him. He entered through the city gate and found a neighborhood that also looked very familiar to him. He entered that house, and there he lived happily ever after. As we were saying, there is really no place like home.

We of the Christian faith believe that our final des - tination is a home not con - fined to this world. We believe that God has a home for us that will last for eternity. Frequently when we mourn a loved one who has passed away, we say that God has taken him or her home. The journey of faith is always a journey homeward.
