It's "Willie Nelson Sunday" once again!  Today's song is an old standard written by Hoagland Howard "Hoagy" Carmichael in 1927 (lyrics written in 1929).  "Stardust" is one of the most-recorded songs of all time.  I love the way Willie performs it!

Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.” – Genesis 22:1-2

To offer a child in human sacrifice may seem incredibly barbaric, but God was speaking to Abraham in the language of his day. Child sacrifice was common in Abraham’s time. What was unusual was that God stopped the sacrifice! God was re-educating Abraham about the nature of the true God. The journey of Abraham and Isaac was a shadowing of another time that God would reveal His true nature to mankind. At the cross God didn’t stop the sacrifice but offered His own Son, whom He loves, for us. This sacrifice was given once and for all so that God could speak to us in the languages of our day and re-educate us about who He is and how we can know Him.

Owensville Alderman John Kamler addressing Matt Penning at the County Commission Meeting held at the Owensville City Hall on Thursday, 9/2 .....

"I've been asked over and over by Mr. Noedel and some other people to work as an alderman with an alderman from Hermann.  I think that's a great idea to get the county moving back to where it needs to be."  ~ John Kamler, Owensville Alderman, at 9/2 County Commission Meeting in Owensville

Er uh, thanks for the offer Mr. Kamler!  But don't you already have a full plate of economic development issues and city infrastructure issues you should be working on for the people of Owensville?  By the way, which Hermann alderman did Mr. Noedel have in mind to work with you?  As a Hermann resident, I want my aldermen to work exclusively on Hermann issues.  Our aldermen have enough on their plates already!  Ha ha ha!

Bible Verse Of The Day - Saturday, 9/4/2010

"When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the priests, who are Levites. It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his brothers and turn from the law to the right or to the left. Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel."  ~ Deuteronomy 17:18-20

The Bible dictated something radical in this passage. In a day when kings made the laws, the Bible stated that the king was to be under the law. This flew in the face of ancient practices, but the Scripture is very clear that even the greatest figures of their time were to submit and follow the words of God – who is the King of kings. If God required that of kings, how about us? Are we willing to surrender our rule to the will of a greater King?

A. E. Newman Calls For The Resignation Of County Commissioners Ron Jost and Jerry Lairmore

Published by Jimmy Oldsun, NDRIRSRWRAFTC & Editor

Date:  9/3/2010

A. E. Newman, recent recipient of the 2010 Bland "Man Of The Year" Award, has called for the immediate resignation of both Ron Jost and Jerry Lairmore from the Gasconade County Commission.  At a hastily called news conference in Bland, Newman today (Friday) called for a change of leadership within the county in order to bring about unity of purpose.  Newman told Hermann Hearsay that the resignation of Jost would open the door for Jerry Spurgeon, Democratic challenger, to win the upcoming general election for Presiding Commissioner.  When asked who would fill Southern District Associate Commissioner Lairmore's office, Newman told us that he would be more than happy to serve if that's what the people of the southern district wanted.

Hermann Hearsay understands that, in a separate and completely unrelated dramatic development at Thursday's County Commission Meeting, John Kamler, an Owensville Alderman, called for the immediate resignation of Northern District Associate Commissioner Matt Penning from the Gasconade County Commission.

WOW!  If all the resignations which have been "called for" should actually come to fruition, Gasconade County would be left "leaderless"!  The county would be a ship adrift without a rudder!  How then would we ever make progress on the important affairs of the county?!  How would we deal with our county budget issues?  How would we plan for the preservation and renovation of the county courthouse?  And what of the work which Southern District Associate Commissioner Lairmore has done with the UMR engineering student on the courthouse emergency access road?  And what would happen to Jerry's vision of paving all county roads with chip and seal?  Who would make decisions regarding the repair/replacement of the picnic table on the front lawn of the courthouse?

State Auditor Issues Audit Report For Gasconade County

Published by Dick Schaefer, Award-winning, Unpaid, Part-time Contributing Writer and Amateur Investigative Reporter

Date:  9/2/2010

The final report on the 2010 State Audit of Gasconade County has been issued by Missouri State Auditor, Susan Montee.  The portion of the audit conducted by state employees has been posted on the auditor's website.  The "Yellow Sheet" toplines may be found at:  http://www.auditor.mo.gov/press/2010-105.htm.  And the full audit report may be found at:  http://www.auditor.mo.gov/press/2010-105.pdf.

There is another portion of the report which is still being worked on by a private CPA firm contracted to perform audits for the state.  When this portion of the audit report is released, I will report on the findings contained therein.

I hope that every taxpayer in Gasconade County will read these important audit reports.  They are very revealing.  They tell us how our county government is being managed by our elected county officials.

"While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him."  ~ Luke 5:12-13
