A boy started to cross a street. But a lady grabbed his ptm, saying, “Look at the light.” “Ma’am,” he protested, look at the people crossing the street.” “Never mind the people,” she replied, “look at the light and follow it." Good advice, isn’t it! Are you following God or the gang? Too many break God’s laws to keep in step with the crowd. But His laws are for your good and guidance, and really, you can’t break His laws, you can only break yourself against them. So get your walking signals in life from God. Like the lady said, “Look at the light and follow it.”

The Last Word...

By Laurie Lechlitner I remember watching my grandparents when I was growing up. Grandma was one of the most devoted women I ever saw She didn’t do a thing without Grandpa. Asa matter of fact, she followed him around like a puppy dog, waiting on him hand and foot. At the lime I thought she was pretty old Yellow Creek Church sets holiday bazaar The Yellow Creek Church of the Brethren. 65575 CRII, Goshen, will sponsor its first annual “Holiday Craft Bazaar,” Saturday, November 7, 8:30a.m.-3p.m„ at the church.

fashioned. Os course, Grandma didn’t drive. She wasn't employed outside the home either. So I suppose Gramps was all the entertainment she got if you don’t count wiping little noses and changing diapers. But I always wondered what possessed a woman to be such a doormat. That’s certainly not how it is in the 90’s. Couples often live in different residences and take separate vacations. “I gotta go visit my wife,” Ed stated. “Visit you wife?” I replied in a puzzled tone. “She lives in upper Michigan." lie answered. “I have a job in Indiana. I giver her the best life a woman could want. With my sixfigure income she lives in the lap of luxury.” I thought to myself. She may live in the lap of luxury, but she certainly doesn’t live in the lap of her husband. Women, who are very relational, must feel lonely when their husbands choose to live out of state. Or do they? “I jet off to Europe in April.” Marcia said with a smile “I plan to hit Rome on the way back. Those three weeks will make a splendid vacation. I'm taking the camcorder. the camera and plenty of sketch pads. I love to sit and draw what I see." "I thought John didn’t like to fly." I answered. "Who said anything about John?” she replied. "Asa husband, he's OK. Asa traveling companion. he's a drag. Last time we llcw to Florida together, he threw up in his air bag three times. I was mortified." “What will John do while you’re gone?" I asked. "Thai's anyone's guess,” she answered. "His vacation is not until August. I suppose he II go see his Aunt Faye and Uncle Ray in Ohio, like he did last year. It really doesn’t matter to me.” She continued, “I can’t forget my alarm clock and mink coat, in case I go somewhere fancy. Then there’s my travelers checks, my charge cards...” It sounded to me like Marcia was packing every-

Host Kosciusko County breakfast

The second Kosciusko County Prayer Breakfast will be held Monday, November 9, 7:308:30a.m., at the 2517 Restaurant in Warsaw. “The turnout was remarkable two years ago, we could hardly fit everyone in. Hundreds of people from county churches of almost every denomination joined in unity and prayer at our breakfast,” recalled Dr. Bob Whitesel, Leesburg, publicity chair for this year's event. This year s speaker is Dr. Terry Kids invited to dial story The old cake-crumbs-under-the-skin routine is enough to give anybody wrinkles, especially a rhino! "How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin” is this week's featured dial-a-story on the Nappanee Public Library information line. The free storytelling service is available on a 24-hour basis, and is just one of the options on the line. 219-773-7920.

thing but her loving spouse. I don’t like to be judgemental. Separate residences and vacations may appeal to some, but I can’t stand the thought in my own marriage. “What’s for supper?” my husband, Brian, roared. “This is the 905,” I countered. “Get your own supper.” “Where’s the Teflon pan?” he asked. “Bottom drawer,” I said, as I gestured to the cupboard. “I believe I’ll spend a week fishing with the guys before the dead of winter sets in,” Brian said. I bolted upright in my chair. “What!” “Clean your ears out!” he exclaimed. “I believe I'm going on a fishing trip with the boys. We can cook our own meals over an open fire, toasting marshmallows, drinking Coke. We’ll have a blast.” How can he have a blast without me! I exclaimed to myself. "What are you doing slaving over a hot stove. Pumpkin Lips?” I cooed, as I quickly got out of my chair. “You know I always look forward to cooking your meals. Sit in the rccliner like a good husband. I'll get your pipe and slippers.” "You now I don’t smoke a pipe,” he asserted, with his masculine chest thrown out. Perhaps I have a bit of Grandma in me after all. Although I live in a < ulture that values marital independence, my biggest nightmare is to lose touch with the man I love the most.

Elkhart County has a part-time prosecutor with deputy prosecutors who are almost all part-time. Elkhart Count}' is MUCH larger than the other remaining few counties with part-time prosecutors. The part-time prosecutor and his part-time deputies spend the least amount of time possible at prosecuting crimes so they can spend the maximum amount of time at their private law offices. Therefore, crimes at all levels have fallen through the cracks and gone unprosecuted, been dismissed, or been plea bargained down to almost nothing. Elkhart County needs Paul Eash as Full-Time prosecutor. Paul Eash is the successful Full-Time Elkhart City Attorney who has won many large cases. He currently is vigorously standing up to the ICLU in the Ten Commandments lawsuit. Paul Eash is also a former deputy prosecutor.
