The Beebe News, Thurs., Dec. 19, 2019, Page 3. Opinion/CommunityOpinion/CommunityState Capitol Weekin ReviewFrom Sen. Jonathan DismangDecember 13, 2019

LITTLE ROCK –Canada and Mexicocontinue to be the topdestinations forArkansas exports, ac-cording to the 2019 re-port by the World TradeCenter of the Univer-sity of Arkansas.

Last year Saudi Ara-bia was third on the listof foreign destinations,thanks to a 486 percentincrease in sales ofbombs, mines and am-munition fromArkansas. The spike insales is attributable to amissile contract be-tween Saudi Arabia andLockheed Martin,which has a plant inCamden.

The value of bombs,mines and ammunitionexported fromArkansas jumped from$169 million in 2016and $79 million in 2017to $463 million in2018, according to U.S.Census Bureau datacited by the WorldTrade Center. Of thattotal, $376 million wereshipped to Saudi Ara-bia.

Civilian aircraft con-tinues to be an impor-tant component ofArkansas exports, al-though its valuedropped in 2018 com-pared to the year be-fore. In 2017 Arkansasfirms exported $1.5 bil-lion of civilian aircraftoverseas, and in 2018the value of those ex-ports dropped to $995million.Agricultural exportsfrom Arkansas werevalued at $3 billion lastyear. Almost half ofthose products wereshipped to countries inthe Western Hemi-sphere -- 23 percentwent to Mexico, 15 per-cent went to Canadaand 10 percent went toHaiti.

Hong Kong and theUnited Kingdom eachbought 5 percent of theagricultural productsshipped from Arkansasin 2018.In all, Arkansas ex-ported $6.5 billionworth of goods to for-eign nations in 2018.Exports represent an es-sential part of the

state’s economic foun-dation. For example,about 26 percent of allArkansas jobs are sup-ported by internationaltrade. That representsabout 350,000 people.Canada and Mexico areeasily the two most im-portant export marketsfor Arkansas. Busi-nesses in the two coun-tries purchased $2billion of Arkansasproducts last year, aswell as $276 million inservices.

Canada and Mexicoaccount for more than athird of all Arkansas ex-ports, and trade withthe two countries sup-port more than 120,000jobs in Arkansas.

Growth in trade withMexico has increaseddramatically in the pastfew years, although notas much as trade withSaudi Arabia. In the 25years since the UnitedStates signed the NorthAmerican Free TradeAgreement, exportsfrom Arkansas to Mex-ico have increased by732 percent. The valueof our exports to Mex-ico were estimated tobe $870 million in2018.

Ranked by the valueof exported products,Arkansas is 37th in na-tional rankings ofstates.

Other important cat-egories of Arkansas ex-ports are transportationequipment, chemicals,machinery and paper.The most valuable farmproducts exported fromArkansas last year weresoybeans, rice, broilermeat and cotton.

The jobs supportedby international tradeare mostly in smallbusinesses – about 80percent. According tobusiness groups, thosejobs generally paymore and are more se-cure than jobs in otherareas.

After Canada, Mex-ico and Saudi Arabia,the greatest amount ofArkansas exports wereshipped to France,China and South Korea.The United Kingdomand Belgium followed.

7/4/2000-9/5/2019 My sweet Simba!My sweet Simba!

I hope you all haveyour Christmas shop-ping done or almostdone.

During this busy timeof year, we need tothink of those less for-tunate than ourselves.We need to look insideand see those around uswho are important to us- family - friends - ourhometown, etc. Since Ihave been recuperatingand spending lots moretime at home - workingon the paper and conva-lescing - I have had thetime to think aboutthose who are impor-tant to me.

I hope you were ableto attend the Chamber’sChristmas parade andthe Christmas in thepark at Daniel Park.

The weather forecastfor next week is forwarmer temps for ourChristmas. I wouldmuch rather have warmtemps rather than coolor cold temps forChristmas. I thinkwhen Santa brings thelittle kids their bikesand outdoor toys - it’snice when they can justgo out and play all day.

We will publish ourpaper on Monday nextweek for our Christmasissue. We will haveseveral letters to Santafrom Beebe schoolchildren. It is always afun thing to read.

Go to your happyplace.

See younext week!

What’sLeft!By Lee “Cat” McLaneEditor/Publisher

The holidays are amagical time at theState Capitol. Lights il-luminate the exterior atnight, the halls aredraped with garland,and school choirs fromacross the state sere-nade us with carolsthroughout the day.

But there is one partic-ular day in the seasonhere at that stands apartfrom the rest.  OnTuesday, we celebratedthe 5th year of Christ-mas in the Capitol. Atthis event, legislatorsgather with the Gover-nor, constitutional offi-cers, and stateemployees as we bringgifts for the more than4,000 children inArkansas foster care.

This year was thebiggest yet. Several ofthe children were ableto make it the event.And seeing their facesas they open the gifts isa humble reminder ofour duty to them as leg-islators. As Rep. Char-lene Fite said, “Welove them. And we seea bright, bright futurefor them.”

Earlier that day, thecommittee for Aging,Children and Youth,Legislative and Mili-tary Affairs was givena quarterly report fromthe Division of Chil-dren and Family Serv-ices.

Currently, there are4,362 children in fostercare. Neglect and sub-stance abuse are themost prevalent reasonsfor children enteringfoster care.

Additional funding forDHS approved by thelegislature in recentyears has helped to in-crease the number ofcaseworkers and de-crease the averageworker caseload. Theaverage caseloadstatewide stands at 21cases per worker. TheDivision’s goal is 20 orfewer.

Arkansas consistently

exceeds the nationalstandard of 40.5% infinding a permanentliving situation forchildren within 12months removal fromtheir home.

There are 1,502 li-censed foster familyhomes open statewide,providing a total of3,394 available beds.The ratio of fosterhome beds to childrenin foster care was lessthan one (.78) at theend of the first quarter.The goal is to have atleast one foster homebed available for eachchild.

Kids in foster care dobetter in homes, not fa-cilities. We need car-ing, patient, andflexible foster familieswho can provide tem-porary care to kidswhile we work to getthem safely back hometo their original fami-lies as quickly as possi-ble.

While we need fosterhomes for all of ourkids in foster care, weespecially need homesfor teens and for sib-ling groups.

The following article is published in accordancewith the wishes and in memory of Robert L. Kemp,

former editor/publisher of The Beebe News.by R.B. Thieme, Jr.

A catalog of available tapes and publications will be pro-vided upon request by contacting R.B. Thieme, Jr., BibleMinistries, 5139 West Alabama, Houston, TX 77056Before you begin your Bible study, be sure that, as a be-

liever in the Lord Jesus Christ, you have named your knownsins privately to God (1 John 1:9). You will then be in fel-lowship with God, under the control of the indwelling HolySpirit, and ready to learn doctrine from the Word of God.If you are an unbeliever, the issue is not naming your sins. The issue is faith in Christ:“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he whodoes not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Godabides on him.” (John 3:36)

Divine Essenceby R.B. Thieme, Jr.

The Characteristics of Divine EssenceRIGHTEOUSNESS:

So the work of Christ on the Cross notonly released the justice of the Father for total ex-pressions in eternity, but also made it possible forthe Father’s justice to remain intact in the Plan ofGod. The justice of God upsets the liberals and“bleeding hearts” more than anything else. Theycannot conceive of God an any other than a Godof love. But justice is as important and as ob-servable as the other characteristics in Hisessence. Justice is manifest in the punitive meas-ures to unbelievers, who have violated the divinelaws of establishment, as well as to believers. Theunbeliever would do well to consider the warningof Hebrews 10:31: “It is a fearful thing to fall intothe hands of the living God.”God is also righteous in His attitudes and ac-

tions (Deut. 32:4; 2 Sam. 22:31; Psa. 119:137;145:17; Dan. 9:14; Rev. 19:2, 11) In the Revela-tion passages, Jesus Christ IN RIGHTEOUS-NESS makes war! We will have the privilege ofwatching Him break all records for defeating theenemy! Until then, the believer can rely fully onthe knowledge that whatever befalls him is con-sistent with God’s righteous attitudes and actionson his behalf.

LOVE: “He that loveth not knoweth notGod; for God is love” (1 John 4:8). Much hasbeen said about this characteristic of God, but lit-tle has been understood. To understand divine oreven human love, we must know Bible doctrine.Since God is eternal and immutable, His love isunchanging and enduring - and in the same quan-tity which He possessed from eternity. Both thequality and the quantity remain the same (Jer.31:3).

The motive behind grace is love. But God’slove cannot come through the “grace pipe” toman until righteousness and justice have beensatisfied. When Christ hung on the Cross, He wasperfect righteousness in His humanity. That can-

ReligionReligion

celled out righteousness as a barrier. When the Fa-ther judged Him for our sins, the barrier of jus-tice was removed. Now love can flow through thegrace pipe to man. BUT WE MEET GOD’SLOVE ONLY AT THE CROSS. To the personwho believes in Christ, both love and eternal lifecome through the grace pipe.”Those who appropriate the grace of God in sal-

vation cannot be separated from the love of God(Rom. 8:38, 39). No matter how a believer fails,no matter what he does, God keeps on loving him,for God’s love depends on His character. Thismeans that the Father has a love which is not inany way related to emotion. We are inclined toconfuse emotion and mentality - especially whenit comes to love. Yet emotion does not exist in anyMember of the Godhead, nor is it a part of theessence of God. Emotion is strictly an activity ofthe human soul that helps us to appreciate whatwe have in the mentality of the soul. All the func-tions of life are centered in some facet of the rightlobe, and emotion is designed to respond to itsvarious areas - to the frame of reference, to thememory center, to vocabulary and categories andto norms and standards. A correctly functioningemotion mirrors what you have in the mentalityof the soul. It is, therefore, difficult for us to real-ize that God neither needs nor possesses emotion.We need emotion as a prop for our mentality,

and when properly used, it can become a cushionfor mental trauma. Emotion under capacity forlife and maximum intake of Bible doctrine is a

wonderful thing. It stimulates love. But God’slove is totally independent of emotion. Occasion-ally a verb with an emotional connotation is usedin connection with God’s love; but this is simplyan anthropopathism - ascribing to God a humancharacteristic to express a divine attitude. It is nota true characteristic of god’s essence.

The Beebe News, Thurs., Dec. 19, 2019, Page 5.Education/DeathsHave a Positive Peaceful ChristmasBy Roger Campbell

A long email arrivedfrom a discouragedwoman.  Like manyduring this festivefeasting season, she’dbeen losing the battleof the bulge; and thisafter a year of success-ful weight loss.  Usinga faith-based lifestyleof discipline and activ-ity, she had shed forty-eight pounds, but hadnow quickly addedthirteen.  

What caused thisgain of unwantedpounds and her feelingof failure?  She says itall started with eatingone or two M&Ms. 

How do you comforta person whose disci-pline has been deci-mated by such a tinytransgression?  I choseto contact her immedi-ately, complimentingher on her successes.She is still thirty fivepounds lighter than ayear ago.  Why notfocus on her achieve-ments instead of her re-cent lapse of control?

Now her email as-sured me that this onewhose confidence hadbeen crushed by twosmall pieces of candywas already back ontrack.  She was plan-ning to talk to her pas-tor about starting agroup in her church forothers who need tolearn that God caresabout every part of ourlives and will enable usto achieve what is bestfor us.   

Clashes of faith anddoubt, positives andnegatives, confront uscontinually. This wasbrought to my attentionrecently in an article ti-tled “Where is Peace?”written by our son,Timothy, who, alongwith myriad other re-sponsibilities, edits anewspaper.  See if youcan identify with hisstory of a late nightjourney from perplex-ity to peace:

“This old world wecall home seems attimes to be little morethan a ‘ball of confu-sion,’ spinning ever-more out of control dayby day.  War, famine,drought and diseasemonopolize the inter-national news whileour domestic headlinesdecry a culture of violentcrime, greed, hedonismand family dysfunctionand dissolution.

“A few weeks back,I stood out in the pad-dock praying and un-winding with my horse

as he enjoyed a latedinner of Equine Sen-ior and a few carrots.My thoughts were onthe ever turbulent situa-tion in the Middle Eastand I lamented withJeremiah, “‘Peace,peace,’ they say, ‘butthere is no peace.’”

“And then on thenorthern horizon I sawin all their splendor,Aurora Borealis – theNorthern Lights -something of a rarity atour latitude.  To theeast, a meteoritestreaked the night skyand I was overcomewith the peace ofknowing the ‘Lord ofHeaven and Earth.’”

Henry W. Longfel-low faced a similarquandary over the“peace on earth” of theChristmas message andthe reality of a violentand unjust world.  Inhis enduring carol, “IHeard the Bells onChristmas Day,” he de-scribes his inner con-flict over the apparentcontradiction and hisultimate, comfortingconclusion:

“And in despair,I bowed my head:There is no peace onearth,” I said,

“For hate isstrong, and mocks thesong of peace on earth,good will to men.”

“Then pealedthe bells more loud anddeep: “God is not dead:nor doth He sleep,

The wrong shallfail, the right prevail,with peace on earth,good will to men.” 

From weight prob-lems to world politicalcrises, we need neverdespair.  Christmassays God loves us,every one.  And themiracle of the nativitynegates negativism;promising personalpeace through faith,and, finally, good willto men.

Joash and JehoiadaBy Pastor Steve Ellison

Joash, the ninth kingof Judah, was only oneyear old when his fa-ther, King Ahaziah,died.    Ahaziah’smother, Athaliah, sawher chance to seize thethrone for herself.  Shequickly killed all of hergrandsons except forJoash.  She would havekilled him also but Je-hosheba, the wife ofHigh Priest Jehoiada,hid him in her ownhome.  Joash would re-main in hiding for thenext six years in thehome of Jehoiada andJehosheba.    Athaliahwas a remarkablewoman, both for herwickedness and for herability.  She is the onlywoman to ever occupythe throne of David andshe was able to holdonto it for six years.Those six years provedto be invaluable in thelife of Joash.  He wasbrought up under thewatchful eye of thegood High Priest Je-hoiada.  Joash’s train-ing would serve himwell in the early yearsof his reign; the endwould be a differentstory.

At the age of seven,Joash was anointedking byJehoiada.   Wicked,Baal worshiping,Athaliah protested andwas quickly put todeath at the commandof Jehoiada.  The reignof Joash, which wouldlast 40 years, beganvery well.    A new re-spect for the Law ofGod was cultivated.The altars and imagesof Baal were de-stroyed.  The Temple ofthe Lord, which was interrible condition, wasrepaired.  Things weregood for about the first25 years of the reign ofJoash, and then Je-hoiada, his mentor,died.   The Bible saysspecifically that Joashhad done what wasright in the sight of theLord because he wasguided by Jehoiada.Jehoiada was so highlyregarded by all the peo-ple that he was buriedwith the kings, a veryhigh honor for a priest.Very quickly, Joashwould begin a down-ward trek toward his ul-timate destruction.   Bewarned that a good startdoes not guarantee agood finish.  We must

make a daily decisionto walk with the Lord.Be also warned that nomatter how wise andstrong and godly ourmentor is, at some pointwe will be called uponto stand on our own.  Itis a tragedy when we donot take advantage ofgodly mentors andlearn how to standstrong under our ownpower.  After beingblessed with 30 plusyears of tutelage fromJehoiada, Joash shouldhave been ready tomentor others. 

With Jehoiada nolonger there to instructand hold accountable,Joash began to listen toflattery from the leadersof the nation.  He andthe nation abandonedthe Lord God and HisHouse and turned onceagain to idol worship.God decided it wastime to call Joash to ac-count. 2 Chronicles24:20 ESV says, “Thenthe Spirit of Godclothed Zechariah theson of Jehoiada thepriest, and he stoodabove the people, andsaid to them, "Thussays God, 'Why do youbreak the command-ments of the Lord, sothat you cannot pros-per?  Because you haveforsaken the Lord, hehas forsaken you.'"    

God does not say thatbreaking His com-mands means we mightnot prosper.  He doesnot say that breakingHis commands willmake it difficult or un-likely to prosper.Rather, He says that ifwe break His com-mands we cannot pros-per.    This fact makesHis question to Joash,Judah, and you and meso much more convict-ing and significant.Why would we breakHis commands know-ing that it guaranteesthat we will not pros-per?  There was a sec-ond assurance.  If weforsake God, He willforsake us.  I can’t thinkof anything much morestupid than our contin-uing in such a foolishpath.  So, why do youand I continue to breakHis commands?

Historical Christmas IIChristmas is the time of year when everyone seems a little happier and area little nicer to each other. It is when we look forward to spending time withfamily and friends enjoying all of our favorite Christmas traditions. Yet,historically speaking, this was not always the case. Especially in America,we did not celebrate Christmas until the 1820s with the publication of acouple of important novels.

What was originally called the Feast of the Nativity reached England in thesixth century and began being called Christmas. Don’t think of it as thesame holiday as we celebrate today. It was more a drunken party similar toMardi Gras or Halloween than Christmas. It was gangs of poor going door-to-door demanding gifts. Think of some early Christmas carols. In “HereWe Come A-Wassaling” there is the line, “We are not daily beggars thatbeg from door to door; but we are neighbours’ children, whom you haveseen before.” In “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” we sing about goinghouse to house basically demanding food.

This debauchery at Christmas played a part in America’s founding. The rad-ical religious sect known as the Puritans wanted to rid the Church of Eng-land of all things Catholic, including the pagan practices that had crept intothe Church. One of those practices was Christmas. There is no mention ofChristmas in the Bible and no set date for the birth of Jesus. The CatholicChurch had set Christmas during the winter solstice to help convert the Ger-manic tribes by claiming their religious feasts. The practice of Christmaswas one of many doctrinally differences that led the Puritans to the NewWorld to set up their “City on the Hill.” With Puritanism being one of themost influential institutions in American culture, Christmas was not prac-ticed in the colonies. During and after the Revolutionary War, many Britishpractices, including Christmas, were seen as taboo. In fact, Christmas doesnot become an official American holiday until 1870.

Christmas as we know it comes in the 1820s because of two importantworks of fiction (reading really does change the world). America’s firstgreat author was Washington Irving. We had many writers at that point, butthey mimicked British writing. Irving was the first to write somethinguniquely American. In 1819 he wrote The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon,Gent that includes some of his most famous stories such as “The Legend ofSleepy Hollow” and “Rip Van Winkle”. The one entitled “Christmas”showed an English squire inviting peasants into his home for Christmas.Irving believed Christmas should be a peaceful time where all classes couldlive in harmony. In his story he invented ancient customs such as familymembers returning from far away “once more to assemble about the pater-nal hearth, that rallying-place of affections.”

The second book, of course, was The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.This 1843 novel, even more than Irving, shaped our current idea of Christ-mas. The message of charity and good will to all struck a chord in Amer-ica. I don’t have room to discuss this here, but childhood had only recentlybecome a thing. Before, children were just small adults. Now with child-hood, parents had a day to lavish their children with gifts without appear-ing to spoil then.

Reading these stories, Americans came to assume this is how Christmaswas supposed to be. Christmas quickly became seen as a family holiday,with peace towards all firmly part of the Christmas celebrations.

Being my last article of the year, I want to give a quick thanks to everyonewho makes Historically Speaking possible. A huge thank you to my wifeMelissa Finck and Dr. JC Casey who edit all my stories. I could not do thiswithout them. I now have a student assistant who does all the distribution.So, thank you Chris Wilson. Thank you to the editors who run these stories.Lastly, thank you to all the readers, especially those who have sent me pos-itive feedback. I put a great deal of time into these stories and it makes itworth it knowing so many of you enjoy them.

LITTLE ROCK —The Arkansas Gameand Fish Commissionstocks hundreds ofthousands of pounds oftrout and catfish insmall ponds throughoutthe state each year tooffer anglers an oppor-tunity to enjoy a dayfishing from the bankwithout driving longdistances to wet a line.The following pondshave been added to thisgrowing list of loca-tions and will begin toreceive stockings oftrout this week:Wynne Sports Com-plex PondMarion Sports Com-plex PondTorraine Lake in FortSmithRedfield City ParkPondReynolds Park Pond inParagouldThe expansion, thelargest since the Familyand Community Fish-ing Program was cre-ated in 2005, is theresult of increasing ef-forts to recruit, retainand reactivate anglersin The Natural State.

(The Family andCommunity FishingProgram) has alwaysbeen about introducingnew anglers to the out-doors, but we’re al-ways looking to step upour game,” said Mau-

rice Jackson, FCFP co-ordinator for theAGFC. “One of thebest ways to get a newangler hooked is to getthem some successquickly, and stockinglocations close towhere people live withfish large enough tobring home and eat is agreat way to break theice.”Jackson says the pro-

gram is changing theway it evaluates possi-ble locations to expandits reach.Tagged trout“In the

past, we looked atcities with at least25,000 people to beable to support one ofour program ponds, butrecent studies showmost people will driveup to 30 miles to fish ata stocked location,”Jackson said. “Now weare looking at more ofa county level to beable to serve thoseareas where severalsmaller towns arewithin a close drive tothe trout and catfish westock.”The addition of these

ponds brings the totalnumber of Family andCommunity Programlocations to 44. Ten ofthese locations only re-ceive catfish and areonly stocked during thewarmer months, but the

other 34 receive catfishin spring, summer andfall and trout duringwinter.“This year we’ll also

be continuing ourtagged fish promotionduring the winter troutfishing season,” Jack-son said. “Each of the34 locations receivingtrout will have 10 fishmarked with a brighttag behind their dorsalfin. Anyone whocatches that fish mayclip the tag off and mailit in for a chance to wina guided trout fishingtrip on the Little RedRiver for two people.Keep the fish or releaseit back to the water ifyou want, but each tagturned in will be en-tered into a monthlydrawing in January,February and March2020 for the fishingtrip.
