I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God. ~ Luke 12:8-9
The claims of Christ are so encompassing that anyone who understands them will realize that to engage with Christ is to be marked for life. This marking puts us in situations that we are uncomfortable with, yet Jesus gives us neither apologies nor loopholes. He wants to cement our heart with Him by admitting our allegiance to Christ with others. To shrink back in that moment is not accepted. There is no middle ground for the person who believes that Jesus Christ is the Savior for all of mankind.

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? ~ Numbers 23:19
This is from the story of the prophet Balaam, who was hired by King Balak to curse the people of Israel. Instead of a curse, God would give Balaam a blessing for Israel each time he tried. Eventually King Balak was faced with a dilemma: he could either hold on to his plans or surrender them to what God was doing in his generation.
Thousands of years later Jesus would put it this way: The Kingdom of heaven is here. God is on the move. We must learn to die to our plans and follow Him. This has been the clarion call of God to humanity from Genesis to Revelations. He does not change His mind.

A. E. Newman Delivers Fiery Stump Speech On Courthouse Steps
Published by Dick Schaefer, Award-winning, Unpaid, Part-time Contributing Writer; Amateur Investigative Reporter; and Aspiring Photo-journalist
Date: 9/25/2010
It was 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, 9/23 and not much was going on at the Gasconade County Courthouse. The County Commission had cancelled their weekly meeting because County Clerk Lietzow was in Jefferson City attending an annual "County Clerk Convention". (You gotta wonder whether annual "County Clerk Conventions" are even necessary and whether the money Gasconade County spends each year on trip expenses can even be justified. But I digress.)
The story on this particular Thursday morning was A. E. Newman's fiery political stump speech delivered on the steps leading up to the front entrance of the courthouse. Hermann Hearsay has previously reported that A. E. Newman of Bland is running for the office of Southern District Associate Commissioner of Gasconade County. Newman will be facing off against incumbent, Jerry Lairmore of Owensville, in the November 6, 2012 general election.
Here is the text of Newman's speech which was delivered from the courthouse steps to approximately twenty or so citizens who were gathered around to hear it .....
"My fellow citizens and countrymen -
Thank you for coming out on this glorious September morning! As you may know, my name is A. E. Newman. I'm from Bland, and I'm running for Southern District Associate Commissioner. I'm here this morning to point out to my fellow citizens that our County Commission has CANCELLED their regular weekly meeting this morning.
Perhaps you didn't know that! Why should you? You are all busy people and you have your own personal affairs to attend to. Like most citizens of Gasconade County, you expect your elected representatives to attend to the business affairs of the county. Well my friends, today they aren't! And the reason they aren't attending to the affairs of the county is that County Clerk Lesa Lietzow is attending a convention of county clerks in Jefferson City. I guess Clerk Lietzow's absence made for a convenient excuse to CANCEL today's meeting altogether!
Now I ask you these questions:
Ask not what your COUNTY can do for you. Rather, ask what you can do for your COUNTY! Right now, your COUNTY needs for you to show a couple county commissioners and a county clerk the exit door! Vote for Jerry Spurgeon to replace Ron Jost. Vote for Sharon Meyer to replace Lesa Lietzow. And finally, please ask your friends and relatives who live in the southern district of our county to vote for A. E. Newman to replace Jerry Lairmore!"

And the reason they aren't attending to the affairs of the county is that County Clerk Lesa Lietzow is attending a convention of county clerks in Jefferson City. I guess Clerk Lietzow's absence made for a convenient excuse to CANCEL today's meeting altogether!
Now I ask you these questions:
- Do you think it might have been possible for Presiding Commissioner Ron Jost to reschedule the regular weekly meeting for another day this week? But he didn't! Guess he didn't really want to!
- Do you think Southern District Associate Commissioner Jerry Lairmore could have pressed Jost to hold a meeting on another day this week or to just go ahead with the meeting in Clerk Lietzow's absence? Afterall Commissioner Lairmore (and Jost) have been quite content to meet at the Drake Maintenance Shed without requiring the presence of the County Clerk to record meeting minutes!
- What county business is being postponed today? The Missouri State Auditor (Susan Montee) has been auditing Gasconade County all summer long. Finally the comprehensive audit report (including the portion conducted by a private CPA firm) is available to our county officials. But the public will not be able to see the report until our county commissioners provide a response back to Susan Montee's office. Only then will the final audit report be posted at the Auditor's website, http://www.auditor.mo.gov/. Now folks, this report represents a report card on Gasconade County government. And I contend that some of our county officials don't want you to see the report until after the November 3rd general election. Also my friends, the County Commission SHOULD BE discussing the current status of year-to-date spending vs. the 2010 budget. I dare say that, once again, it doesn't look pretty! The County Commission SHOULD ALSO BE working on a plan to preserve and restore this fine historical courthouse you see before you! The $1,000 annual maintenance budget ain't getting the job done! Commissioners Jost and Lairmore are DELAYING any serious work on the county's courthouse and the need for expanded office space! Why are they negligent in their responsibilities to you the citizens? Could it be that certain "monied interests" in Owensville STILL want the county seat to be relocated to Owensville so they can sell off some very marginal real estate to Gasconade County?
- How do other county commissions conduct their official business? Well I haven't checked on a lot of other counties, but I can tell you this much ...... the Montgomery County Commissioners are in official open session on Monday and Thursday each week from 9 to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. In other words, those Montgomery County commissioners meet together to conduct the business of Montgomery County approximately twelve (12) hours per week while our commissioners here in Gasconade County meet in official open session about one (1) or two (2) hours per week ..... and sometimes (like this week) they even find bogus reasons for cancelling their weekly meeting altogether! What are the Montgomery County commissioners doing that our Gasconade County commissioners SHOULD BE DOING? Perhaps we need to find out!
Ask not what your COUNTY can do for you. Rather, ask what you can do for your COUNTY! Right now, your COUNTY needs for you to show a couple county commissioners and a county clerk the exit door! Vote for Jerry Spurgeon to replace Ron Jost. Vote for Sharon Meyer to replace Lesa Lietzow. And finally, please ask your friends and relatives who live in the southern district of our county to vote for A. E. Newman to replace Jerry Lairmore!"

My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. ~ Psalm 119:28
How do we handle depression? Much of our advertising and media bombard us with images of happy people. This can become the unspoken “ideal life”. So when we encounter emotions that may contradict this imagery we find ourselves unprepared. But the Scripture sees sorrow as a part of the human condition. Many of the Psalms deal with feelings of overwhelming depression. And as the Bible addresses these feelings we find that it gives us the guide to navigate through sorrow – the promises of Scripture itself. God’s word assures us in our sorrow and gives us lighthouses of hope to help us navigate through the dark moments of our soul.

County Commission - Closed For Business?

Shortened Gasconade County Commission meeting on Thursday, 9/16. Canceled meeting on Thursday, 9/23. No attempt to reschedule in order to accommodate Clerk Lietzow's schedule.
Is the Gasconade County Commission "closed for business"? OR are they just postponing their inescapable closed session discussion about this year's state audit final report? What's in that report they are so reluctant to discuss? Will Presiding Commissioner Jost postpone this matter of official county business until after the election so as to save certain county officials from embarassment prior to the election?
What the heck is going on? I haven't seen anything reported by CNL, the Gasconade County Republican or the Hermann Advertiser-Courier. Guess I'll have to explore this one with folks down at the coffee shop!

"Smoking helps you lose weight -- one lung at a time!" ~ Alfred E. Newman
Speaking from his mule ranch near Bland this morning, A. E. Newman announced that, if elected to the office of Southern District Associate Commissioner of Gasconade County in 2012, he will advocate for a county-wide law to bar smoking in all public and private gathering places. Newman said his proposed law would bar smoking in restaurants, bars, taverns, wineries, beer joints, VFW halls, Eagle halls, K.C. halls and everywhere that people gather to freely associate. Smoking would be permitted ONLY in private homes and on privately owned ranches and farms. Newman concedes that his proposal is highly controversial. He stated "If the people don't want me as their new Commish, they can just re-elect incumbent Jerry Lairmore. Afterall, I've got plenty of work to do out here with these damned mules!"

The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. ~ Psalm 145:9
Another passage of Scripture states that God allows the rain to fall on the righteous and unrighteous.
God’s nature is good to all. He is merciful even to those who consider themselves His enemies. The greatest example of this was Jesus, who died for those who disagreed with Him.
God’s compassion is seen with each breakthrough in science, art, or technology. Whether through the revelation from a pulpit or the revelation of a math problem solved, God’s compassion is seen every moment of every day.
