"I'm proposing jail sites in FIVE Gasconade County communities. If ONE jail site in the small town of Rosebud is as good an idea as the Sheriff says it is, then think what a great idea it would be to have jails in FIVE of our small communities! Vote Newman for Commish in 2012!" ~ A. E. Newman, Candidate for Southern District Associate Commissioner

Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Is anything too hard for the LORD ? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son.” ~ Genesis 18:13-14
We think that since people in the Bible were pre-modern, superstitious people that it was easy for them to believe. The Scripture actually paints a different picture. We find Sarah’s laughter to be a nervous reaction to a promise from God that was preposterous. Have a child at her age? Impossible! Yet when Sarah had her child, she named him Isaac – which means “laughter”.
God is in the business of turning our laughter of skepticism to the laughter of joy, because for God, all things are possible.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ." ~ Ephesians 1:3
Do you see yourself as already blessed in Christ? Many people don’t realize what God has already made available to us through Jesus Christ. To acknowledge Jesus as “Lord” is a lot more than a ticket to heaven; it’s a gateway to tap into blessings that God HAS ALREADY given you. Whether in hardship or in triumph, our heavenly Father has given you and I everything that we need to walk on this earth. His promises applied to our unbelief can reap amazing benefits!

“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” ~ Luke 12:32-34
If God were to examine where our heart is, where would he look? The Scripture tells us that one of the first spots is how we use our resources. God has assured us that He wants to give us the kingdom, and the way to proclaim that assurance is in how we treat the poor. It has been well said that if one wants to know what we really value the first place to look is our checkbook. Take some time to look at your spending habits. What do you see? Give some of your resources to those in need and watch what happens to your heart.

A. E. Newman Proposes County Jails In Rosebud, Owensville, Bland and Canaan

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
This just in!
"It certainly is a pleasure to be with you tonight! Your program chairman told me that you like to have dinner and then settle back for a "short" program. He emphasized the key word there ..... SHORT! And so I will keep my remarks very brief.
A number of people in Gasconade County believe we need to build a county jail. We currently transport our prisoners to the Crawford County jail.. At the last county commission meeting in Owensville, our Gasconade County Sheriff proposed that we accept the offer made by the R-2 School District and take possession of one of their school buildings no longer needed which just happens to be in Rosebud. The Sheriff is recommending that we use it as a 911 center and as a county jail. The price is certainly right. The school district is offering the building for only $1. I understand folks in Rosebud aren't too keen on the idea right now but that the Sheriff is going to try to sell them on the idea.
Well my friends, I am an OPTIMIST just like you, and so tonight I am proposing that we build jails not only in Rosebud, but also in Owensville, Bland and Canaan. Afterall, if one (1) jail is good, four (4) jails would be four (4) times better!
You see, I am OPTIMISTIC:
- that we will be needing more jails in the future to house all the prisoners from the southern district of the county who cannot find employment,
- that we can save four (4) times as much money as the Sheriff proposes to save by constructing four (4) times as many jails thus avoiding the need to transport our prisoners to the jails of any adjoining counties, and
- that we can find another four (4) old vacant buildings (one each in Rosebud, Owensville, Bland and Canaan) no longer being gainfully used by their current owners and potentially available to the county at dirt cheap prices.
I hope I can count on your support for my very aggressive plan! Let's keep Gasconade County jailbirds in Gasconade County jails! Perhaps someday we can have jails in every town in Gasconade County, making it ultra convenient for all concerned ..... the jailees, the Sheriff's deputies and those who work in the jails! Think of the economic boom this would represent for our county! Why someday we could even begin to house prisoners from other parts of the midwest!
In closing, I'd just like to say that the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and peas were very tasty! Thanks for having me as your speaker!"

Speaking today before the Bland Rotary Club at their weekly luncheon, A. E. Newman denied a vicious rumor which has been circulating for the past several weeks. Newman, an Independent candidate for the office of Southern District Associate Commissioner of Gasconade County, denied the rumor that his 19 year-old son, A. A. Newman, is in fact not his own offspring but that of a traveling Kirby vacuum cleaner salesman.

Quoting Newman .... "Albert Alfred Newman is my natural-born son. The rumor about the traveling Kirby vacuum cleaner salesman is absurd and it is very hurtful to my family. I don't know who started this rumor, but I wish they would stop smearing me and my family. Anyone can tell by just looking at these photographs that we are obviously father and son."
A. E. Newman then proceded to unveil two large photographs, the first of himself and the second of his son Albert Alfred. See below .....

Newman continued on by saying ..... "My friends, the resemblance between Albert Alfred and myself IS UNDENIABLE! A. A. Newman is obviously my son. The vicious rumor that he is not my son is absolutely FALSE!"

Then he said to them all: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?” – Luke 9:23-25
Unfortunately we live in an age where Christianity has become a product. From Christian mints to bobble head Jesus, the faith has been commercialized to the point that we go to the church of our choice, we rate the preacher or music, we’ll even opt for online community because sacred space and live people seem too inconvenient. We’ve created a consumer Christian who, according to recent polls, is more dissatisfied with their spiritual walk than ever. But the true Christian message is one of denial, not convenience. A cross-less Christ becomes stale bread and cheap wine. It has no power and therefore can be easily parodied and marketed.
