Another life changed
As I reflect back on the early
days of my life, it is with many
fond memories. Our family was
close, and we had many enjoy
able times together in our cozy
home in north central Texas.
Being a small agricultural com
munity, I kept myself busy rais
ing farm animals and competing
in 4-H competition. My aspira
tion for as long as I can re
member was to someday become
a veterinarian.
As I grew older and entered
high school, I found myself
driven by an inward force to be
successful in whatever I pur
sued. I did well in football, mak
ing all district for two years. I
was president of our local 4-H
chapter and elected president of
the senior class. There was only
one problem. Although I ap
peared outwardly to be getting
ahead, I was void of inner satis
faction. My relationships with
others seemed superficial and I
had only a few close friends. My
own insecurity and desire for ac
ceptance pushed me into habits
and a lifestyle I didn’t really
want. I began drinking and
smoking pot so that I would be
numbered with the “in” crowd. I
so badly wanted freedom yet
found myself trapped by the
bondage of peer pressure. As
time went on, I became more
and more insecure and with
drawn from people. I began to
wonder who the real me really
was.
By my senior year, it seemed
that I was in a continual state of
turmoil. I knew I wanted to go
on to college but I lacked the
funds. Owning my own pick-up
truck had been a dream for years
but that took money too. I be
came increasingly more uptight
and tense, tossed about by un
certainty and indecision. I was
glad when the year was over and
I could leave that part of my life
behind.
I decided to work that fall,
then go on to college in the
spring- My job was very demand
ing and seemed to sap most of
my available time and energy. As
I would lay in bed after putting
in an exhausting twelve hours, I
remember feeling frustrated and
uncertain. Was this all there was
to life? Was I to just eat, sleep
and work for the next sixty or se
venty years, then die? It seemed
like such a waste.
That December we spent the
Christmas season with a few rela
tives in western Arkansas. It was
an enjoyable time • and ^ good
break from work. Later on that
week, one of my cousins and I
began discussing the area of God
and religion. I had gone to
church all of my life, but had
never found much fulfillment in
simply attending services week
after week. In fact, it always
struck me as somewhat boring.
As we continued to talk, I began
to realize that my cousin had
something that I had never ex
perienced before. He had not
only what I termed “religion”
but a life that was peaceful and
content. He explained to me that
the emptiness and insecurity I
had in me was the result of being
separated from God by sin. All
the going to church and religion
in the world could not bridge this
separation. He went on to ex
plain how Jesus Christ, out of
His tremendous love for me, had
died to remove this barrier. I
simply needed to respond to
Him by asking Him personally to
come into my life, forgive me,
and take control of my life.
As I continued to listen, it all
began to make sense. I knew I
was guilty and frustrated and
needed help. I had tried so many
things but nothing seemed to
satisfy. There, in the stillness of
the house, at two in the morning,
I asked Jesus Christ to come into
my life.
All at once, things seemed dif
ferent. I felt new and clean, like
taking a breath of fresh air. Even
though it was late, my new found
joy and excitement made it im
possible to go to sleep. I was a
new person!
Since that night four years ago,
I’ve never been disappointed in
my decision. I now am secure in
His unconditional love and free
from the guilt that used to plague
me. Although I have failed many
times. He has never let me
down. My happiness and inner
contentment is no longer depen
dent on always having to be the
best or most successful. I have at
last found satisfaction and full
ness of life in the security and
love of my creator.

AUSTIN — Letting unemploy
ment rise as a deterrent to inflation
is an unworkable idea, says Labor
Secretary Ray Marshall, but teach
ing citizens the causes of inflation
and controlling food and energy
prices should do the trick.
Marshall, who was a University of
Texas economics professor before
joining the Cabinet, said Friday the
administration has rejected the idea
of fighting inflation by permitting
unemployment to rise.
“Permitting unemployment to
rise is unworkable, Marshall said.
Marshall said an accord reached
between the Carter administration
and organized labor would help
strengthen the economy by educat
ing the public and giving the private
sector more incentive to train new
employees.
“We will not solve the unem
ployment problem in the United
States with the public sector alone,
even as important as that is,” he
said.
The labor secretary said energy
and food prices would have to be
controlled before the
inflation could be solved
higher energy and
rectly affect wages and
trols, making it more
fight inflation.
Marshall said he did®,

six months, but hedidnotll

nursing home for not paying a
$5,561 bill, says he can afford to pay
but won t because he believes the
Veteran’s Administration is respon-
si ble for the bill.
Alfred Fox, 64, was evicted Fri
day from the Rebekah Baines
Johnson Center for refusing to pay
the bill. The center, operated by a
firm for the federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development,
filed suit in state district last month
seeking to have Fox pay the bill.
But Fox refused to pay, although
he draws more than $1,000 a month
in retirement benefits. He said he
was financially able to care for him
self but won’t pay the bill “because
of the principle of the thing.”
About a year ago. Fox underwent
surgery at the Audie Murphy Veter
ans Hospital in San Antonio. He was
sent to Austin to recuperate. The
VA contracted with the nursing
home to care for Fox for 90 days.

NATIONAL LAMPOON'S
OCTOBER
COMEDY
ISSUE
It's October and the leaves are turning brown. It is a season of
change — the clear, cold death of winter shines ahead of us.
Soon we will be able to see our breath, frisk with small dogs in
the snow, and roll our cars over on patches of black ice. With
winter approaching and good jokes sure to be as scarce as
summer birds, now is the time to lay in a winter's supply of
jokes in the new October comedy issue of National Lampoon;
and as for summer birds, you can probably mail away for them
to Florida. Yes, the National Lampoon Comedy issue has
enough rich, plump guffaws to keep you chortling right into
spring. So go buy one now at your local newsstand or
bookstore before David Frost starts nipping people's noses,
making it a pain to go outside.
