Before my college roommate started cutting her arms with a razor blade, I'd never even heard of self-mutilation. The frightening introductions came after I returned home from class one day. I followed a trail of blood sprinkled across our apartment kitchen floor; understandably, I was afraid, concerned and didn't understand why she hurt herself.
Because of our friendship, I sought to understand who, what, why and how about the practice of self-injury.
The most common form of self-mutilation is slicing or slashing with a knife, razor blade, shard of glass or other sharp object. Cuts are made on the arms, legs and wrists, but some people cut on less noticeable areas of the body.
Contrary to any preconceived notions about self-mutilation I had, I learned that cutting is always not an attempt at suicide. Instead, it signifies intense emotional pain. Self-injury made my roommate feel like she had control over her past and present. She explained to me that cutting herself was the only way she knew how to deal with the pain she felt.
"People who haven't cut can't understand how it can make you feel better… but it does. It's like bursting a huge bubble," she said. "You feel like you are going to explode and you don't know what to do with the emotional pain. When you cut, there is a kind of release or freedom in it. Then, it's like an emotional high. You release all this pain that's been building and building. Like any addiction, it's a coping mechanism."
Dr. Wendy Lader, clinical director of Safe Alternative, a hospital-based program that helps self-injurers, makes it clear that cutting is more than just trying to deal with stress or running from a painful past. She says it is a cry for help.
"Skin is a bulletin board," she says. "They're saying, 'Can you see how much pain I'm in?'"
Experts estimate that about 4 percent of the population practice self-injury,1 almost equally divided between male and female. According to researchers, "recent studies of high school and college students put the number at approximately one in five,"2 and nearly 50 percent report physical and/or sexual abuse during his or her childhood.3 Inadequate parental nurturing or a suppression of emotions, like anger or sadness, may also contribute.4
As a result of these tragic situations, teens don't feel free to express their feelings to family, friends or people in trust — the outgrowth of which are some of these negative emotions:
When asked why they cut, they may give reasons such as, "It helps me release emotional pain," "to release anger," "to punish myself," "to relieve guilt," or "to feel alive."
Prior to self-injury, the cutter may feel overwhelming emotions and think thoughts like, "I hate myself," "I'm so ugly," "I want someone to care about me," "I hate my life," or "I'm stupid." He or she feels compelled to cut to reduce these emotions by disassociating herself from the injuries she feels.
If you cut yourself or you know someone who does, we want you to understand this article series will only point you in the right direction.
We can't give you solutions.
We can't give you reasons why you or a loved one struggles with self-mutilation.
What we can offer you is the courage to find help from a professional, licensed counselor or therapist — for you or for someone else.
The journey you must take to find wholeness shouldn't be taken alone. Take the first step. Contact Focus on the Family at 1-800-A-Family if you struggle with this addiction. Ask the operator for the Counseling department, and a licensed, Christian counselor will make sure you won't have to make this journey alone.
Since age ten Lori has cried for hours while resisting the urge to cut herself. Some days, long sleeves and pants covered the shame of her bleeding scars. Other days, when the temptation didn't attack her, hope swelled.
Now that the up-and-down emotional rollercoaster has reached a plateau, she can proudly say she's made great strides in her fight against self-mutilation.
How? Through lots of love and Christian counseling.
When Lori talked about cutting, she shared how friends and family can help a friend or loved one.
If you know someone who cuts, walk a mile in her shoes. She may feel like the world is unsafe, maybe since childhood. Maybe she has suffered neglect or physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Maybe she's been robbed of her self-esteem. Because she can't trust herself or others, she copes by cutting herself.
And like any compulsion, the problem can't go away at a whim.
Lori says don't demand that he or she instantly quit. It doesn't help. It's like telling an alcoholic to never drink again or a sex addict to simply stop looking at pornography. It can also make the cutter feel condemned and even more compelled to cut.
"When someone told me to stop," she said, "it just made me want to do it more because I felt like they were trying to take away my only ability to cope with life."
While concern is normal, don't act frightened when you discover someone you know or love is practicing self-injury. Steven Levenkron says that to effectively help a self-injurer, above all, you must exhibit confidence.
"If the self-mutilator sees signs of anxiety or nervousness on the part of the helper," he says, "that will make her disinterested and unreceptive to the offer of help from this person." 1
When you understand that cutting is not usually an attempt at suicide or a way to get attention, but an outward sign of emotional distress, it can help you remain calm.
It's important not to overreact, but you shouldn't ignore the problem, either. Find a professional counselor, therapist or physician who is familiar with self-mutilation. By her own admission, Lori did not welcome the intrusion; she didn't want help. Now she's grateful to those who intervened on her behalf.
Be aware that the cutter in your life may be completely opposed to help.
"I hated [my counselor] at first, and I didn't trust her," Lori says. "I thought she was just another person who would abandon me."
"You can't force anyone to get help," Lori says. "But you can love them into a place to get help."
Be careful what you say.
Lori says there are several things not to say to a cutter:
"You are really messed up."
This statement is condemning, and for someone who already feels out of control, it reinforces feelings of powerlessness.
"I could never do that to myself. It would hurt too much."
Lori says that this makes the cutter feel more shame. Family and friends need to realize that self-mutilation is not about them, and they should refrain from injecting their personal feelings into it.
"You don't need to do this."
This doesn't help because the cutter does feel that they have to do it to help them cope with life.
"I'll never leave you."
It's okay to say this if you mean it, but don't say it to make the self-injurer feel better. Faithfulness practiced over a period of time speaks louder than words.

If you are an emotionally sensitive person, how would friends and family describe you? Positive, compassionate, creative, empathetic and giving? Would they say you are a good teacher and a good listener, and that you understand their problems, regardless of the issue?
Even though you've embraced these strengths, you also might feel animosity toward this sensitive side. After all, you're easily insulted; at times, you feel thin-skinned, even weak—which you thoroughly dislike. Other kids bullied you as a child; adults sometimes take advantage of you now.
Emotional sensitivity is your blessing—and your curse; and it has become such a burden you've turned to cutting because that's the only way you know how to express yourself emotionally.
Deep down, maybe you don't want to travel down this path any longer. Yes, cutting may give you temporary, or maybe it helps you deal with a painful past. Deep down, though, you know it isn't a healthy relief, and you need to break away from this addiction.
Whatever your circumstances,
Prepare yourself because changing your mind, body and spirit won't be an easy task. A first to take is to work on talking it out, so you don't have to act it out. Of course, you'll need to seek help from a counselor.
Another step to help will be to change your mode of thinking. Thankfully, embracing these Scriptures will help counteract these negative feelings you may have:
Truth: When Jesus allowed Himself to be beaten, mocked and nailed to a cross to die, he paid the price for any wrongs. He bled (so that I don't have to) and gave me grace, love and forgiveness (1 Peter 2:24).
I have been made righteous because of a faith in Jesus, and he has freely given me His grace in spite of my sin (Romans 3:21-26).
Truth: Because God loves me, He promises to never leave me or forsake me. His love for me is everlasting; it will never stop, disappear or grow cold. Nothing can separate me from His love—not even myself. He won't ever leave me but will provide mercy and grace when I am in need (Hebrews 13:5, Jeremiah 31:3, Romans 8:35-39 and Hebrews 4:16).
Truth: God promises me of a future and a hope. I can't see it right now, and I don't know how He is working it out. Still, I choose to trust Him, and while He is working out my problems, I will wait on Him (Jeremiah 29:11, Psalm 27:14).
Truth: When I came to Christ, He made me a new creation. It will take time to renew my mind, body and spirit, but He has promised to change me, no matter how I feel (John 15:15, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Colossians 2:7, Philippians 1:6).
Truth: When Jesus died on the cross, He demonstrated the ultimate act of love for me. He did this because I am chosen and dearly loved (Romans 5:6-11, Colossians 3:12).
Truth: Because God created me, and Christ died for me, I am acceptable to Him; before the world was created, He made the choice to adopt me as His own (Ephesians 2:13, I Peter 2:9, Ephesians 1:5).
Truth: Despite how I see myself, God sees me as blameless and holy because of what Christ did on the cross. It's hard to imagine, but God has completely forgiven me. When I confess anything that I have done wrong, He is more than willing to forgive and cleanse me from sin, no matter how many mistakes I make (Colossians 1:22, Colossians 1:13-14, 1 John 1:9).
Remember, change takes time, but if you accept the truth of what God says, and seek professional help, you will discover better coping and life skills.
If you struggle with self-injury, maybe you're like Annie. She hates her addiction, but letting go of the only control she feels she has is terrifying. It has become a kind of best friend—something to hold on to when life hurts.
Or maybe you're like Jillian.
Jillian wants to stop because she knows it hurts those who love her; she's tired of hiding her addiction, and she want to learn how to be more emotionally intimate with others.
If you can relate to Annie or Jillian, the choice to stop cutting can be challenging and scary. Still, change is possible. How do you know? Christ said you can.
Consider, for example, Matthew 19:26. "Jesus looked at [his disciples] and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'"
Change means confronting a tremendous obstacle, but with God, friends, loved ones and a compassionate counselor, you can take the first step toward recovery.
God has a future and a hope for you (Jeremiah 29:11), and Jesus came to bind up your broken heart (Isaiah 61:1). This means that He wants you to live free from the feelings of guilt, sadness, depression, shame, hopelessness and fear that drive you to cut. You see, cutting is not the problem. It's only a symptom of a deeper emotional pain that God wants to, and is able to, heal.
The only long-term solution to stop the pain you may feel is to ask for help! It's essential to find someone compassionate to walk with you through the emotional pain that has led you to cut. Call 1-800-A-Family and ask for the counseling department. After we talk with you, free of charge, we'll refer you to a counselor in your area so you can continue a treatment program.
Carrie, a former cutter, says that she was discouraged when she tried to find someone to help. She was referred to several counselors before she finally found the right fit. Don't be discouraged if the first counselor you speak with is not the one who can best help you. If this happens, try again.
Steven Levenkron, author of Cutting: Understanding and Overcoming Self-Mutilation 1, says, "The more people who are available as resources for treatment, the more powerful the treatment becomes."
Because family and friends can act as "windows" into the cutters history. This helps both the counselor and the cutter to gain insight that wouldn't otherwise be available.
If you are a parent or friend of a cutter, ask the counselor or therapist how you can help in the recovery process.
Treatment can take longer if the cutter suffered severe emotional, physical, sexual, spiritual abuse or neglect, especially in the early developmental years of life. Other reasons include the child being forced to become a care-taker for a needy or emotionally immature parent or if the client's parents are ill or deceased.
When Bethany, a cutter in recovery, has the desire to cut, she finds her sketchbook, magazines, glue and scissors to create a collage. Words like, "pain," "freedom," "trapped," and "anxiety" fill the pages in a burst of color.
This kind of creativity is helpful, she says. "It keeps my hands occupied and the sketchbook is a physical representation of my emotions."
When Bethany glues words representing her emotions on paper, it's a way to work through what she feels and gives her a healthy alternative to cutting.
Besides Bethany's personal creative outlets, counselors also say writing, music and poetry are cathartic and release a healthy outpouring of emotions.
"I've got to get away. Why do I even bother coming — no one cares that I'm here. I'm worthless. Nothing I say or do is ever right. I'm ugly, fat and lazy. I'll never amount to anything."
OK, so pep talks were never my strong suit. But what made those scathing inner monologues even more dangerous was how I'd try to silence the voices by "cutting." I would rush home, take a knife from my desk and escape to a private place where I'd carve wounds into my skin. Frantic self-abuse and physical pain drowned out the emotional pain I was feeling, if only for a short time. Nursing my wounds, I felt oddly comforted, guilty and aware that, next time, it would take even more pain to find that brief release. I was a freak with a secret. Little did I know how many teen cutters guard that same dark secret.
Experts call cutting "the new anorexia" because, like an eating disorder, it is a self-destructive attempt to control painful thoughts and unexpressed emotions. Current research places the number of self-injurers at about 4 percent of the general population, and as many as 10 percent of American teenage girls. Cutting is the most common form of self-harm, but up to 75 percent of all cutters rely on diverse methods, such as burning, pulling hair or punching walls.
In recent years, several books have been published on this topic. USA Network aired a TV movie about cutting and created an online lesson plan to provide resources to educators. Web sites and in-patient treatment programs such as SAFE (Self-Abuse Finally Ends) Alternatives have been developed to help the self-afflicted. Speaking of her own struggle with self-injury, the late Princess Diana shed light on cutting during a highly publicized 1995 BBC interview. She explained, "You have so much pain inside yourself that you try to hurt yourself on the outside because you want help."
Teens turn to self-injury as a way of dealing with emotional stress, usually stumbling upon self-abuse in a moment of desperation, rather than out of suggestion. A teen named Jamie said of her first experience, "It happened spontaneously. I picked up a piece of broken glass and cut my arm twice. It made me feel better because I could focus on one thing, injuring myself, instead of things that I couldn't control around me. That was something that I could control."
Some cutters avoid showing emotion, using self-abuse to express their hurt or anger. They often can't explain why they cut, or may simply lack the words to express themselves. "They have no language for their own feelings," says psychotherapist Steven Levenkron. "Cutting is the replacement for the absent language." Still others say they feel "dead" and turn to self-injury in order to be reminded that they're still alive. For them, enduring self-inflicted pain may seem like the only way they can feel anything at all.
Despite the way it may look, cutting is usually not a failed suicide attempt. Yet the progressive, addictive nature of the disorder can be life-threatening. The more desperate cutters become, the higher their risk of accidental suicide. Dr. Wendy Lader and Karen Conterio, directors of the SAFE Alternatives program, say one of the major reasons people seek them out is that they're petrified they'll go too far and accidentally kill themselves.
Journalist Marilee Strong, who interviewed more than 50 cutters for her book, A Bright Red Scream, says of self-injurers, "[They] are often bright, talented, creative achievers — perfectionists who push themselves beyond all human bounds, people-pleasers who cover their pain with a happy face." Often friends and family aren't aware that a loved one is cutting. It would seem the signs would be obvious, but cutters can be extremely creative at hiding their wounds. Here are some of the signs to look for in teens:
A common thread among self-abusers is that they've lost sight of the truth. One female cutter explains it this way: "When you construct your worldview on a series of misunderstandings, it's like building a skyscraper with the foundation out of plumb. A fractional misalignment at the bottom becomes a whopping divergence by the time you get to the top." Jesus used this same picture of a faulty foundation in His parable of the foolish man who built his house upon the sand (Matthew 7:26). Cutters can begin building their houses on the rock of Christ by turning to His word for truth and leaving their misperceptions at the foot of the cross.
If you know someone struggling with cutting or other forms of self-injury, there are ways to break this dangerous cycle. You can begin by encouraging them to choose a confidant who will be supportive, nonjudgmental and willing to listen when times get tough. Assuming you're that person, help them find a Christian counselor who has worked with cutters (Focus on the Family can refer you to one in your area). Getting professional help is critical because a cutter needs to know his "triggers"—things that make him want to hurt himself. A therapist can create a plan for handling those situations. For me, journaling and painting provided healthy ways to combat inner turmoil. Others may find it therapeutic to jog, dance or play a musical instrument.
At a spiritual level, intercede for that person and urge them to talk to God as well. Pray they'll know and believe the truth. Search the scriptures for verses that will offer comfort and strength when they start to feel overwhelmed. For example, when voices of self-deprecation threatened to take hold, I reminded myself that the Creator of the universe values me deeply. I am His workmanship (Ephesians 2:10) created in His image (Genesis 1:27) and made complete in His son, Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:10). He has bought me with a great price (1 Corinthians 6:20, John 3:16), calls me His friend (John 15:15) and desires a relationship with me (1 John 1:3).
I spent 10 years as a cutter. But that's not who I am today. Four years ago I told my roommate about my problem, which started me down the road to emotional recovery. With the help of friends and loved ones, I began to experience the truth of Christ's love. I remained blinded by deception until I believed the truth that God loved me passionately and created me for a purpose (Jeremiah 29:11). The secrecy ended. My wounds healed. And although some days can be a trial, I've never regretted my decision to walk away.
A person enslaved by a pattern of self-abuse does not have to stay there. It may take a long time to recover. There may be temptations to cut, or even lapses on the path of healing. Teens need to know that "God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when [not if] you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). Someone breaking the habit of self-injury can still be hit with destructive thoughts and feelings of worthlessness, but simply remembering and believing the truth can go a long way toward setting them free. Addressing the Galatians, the Apostle Paul told God's people to "stand firm and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery" (Galatians 5:1). For the young cutter, that yoke can feel absolutely overwhelming. But I am living proof that there is hope!

It took me two weeks to finally publish the blog post for our hike of Franconia Ridge on a perfect September Saturday. I wasn't sure that it was really something that I wanted to write (or even more, something that others would want to read). In the end it is about a spectacular place on a spectacular day and some new lessons taught by an old friend.

Fall Break in Full SwingWe have had a beautiful start to October. The leaves are just beginning to turn and the sunshine and warm temperatures have been plentiful. Fall break will be in full swing by the time this column is published. Teachers and students, enjoy your days off!
We had wonderful services at Macedonia Baptist Church this past weekend. Welcome to our newest members: Mary Ann Day and Don Nolan and his family and also John and Amanda Lunsford, who joined the week before. During our evening service, J.D. Lunsford and Kameron and Katie Anderson were baptized. It was a special time seeing two sisters and a cousin all baptized during the same service. We are already looking forward to what God will do next week!
Kevin Rice will be with us during the morning worship service on the 16th. New Sunday School classes also begin that Sunday.
Sunday School begins at 10:00 am and there are classes for nursery, preschool, elementary, middle and high school students. There is a college/career class for college aged students or those just graduated and starting out in the workforce. There are three different women's classes and one men's class. There are several co-educational classes for men, women and couples. Bro. Charlie Goodman is currently teaching a class that will take you all the way through the Bible in a year. Bro. Dick Smith is beginning a new adult co-ed class with the title, "How Do I Know What God Wants Me To Do?" Mike Hensley is also starting an adult co-ed class called "The Master Life Class," which is a class on discipleship.
We have a couple of fall activities on the horizon. On October 29th, the church will be taking a group to Camp Jubilee to enjoy a day of hayrides, a corn maze, a petting zoo and all things fall. On Halloween, the 31st, we will be hosting "Trunk or Treat" in the church parking lot. Just bring your trick or treaters by the church and you can make the rounds getting candy from different people but all in one spot. It sure beats all the driving, unbuckling, getting out of the car, getting back in the car, buckling up...well, you get the picture!
In other church news, Monday the 17th, the Ladies Fellowship group will be meeting at the church at 6:00 pm. Sunday, the 30th, we will be having our 5th Sunday Fellowship meal during the evening service.
I'll close with a Halloween quote from Erma Bombeck: "A grandmother pretends she doesn't know who you are on Halloween."

We have a remarkable academic team this year again at CCHS. They had their first games of the season last Thursday against Whitley County High School at Williamsburg. The varsity team put forth an excellent effort and won both of their games by a wide margin. The junior varsity team lost to Whitley County but had a good showing. It should be an interesting year.
Fall is certainly showing up to stay. Time seems to go by so quickly that I was surprised when the date on the calendar said October 1st. It's the season for pumpkins, mums, corn mazes, hay rides, crisp mornings and warm afternoons. And the month ends with one of my favorite holidays, Halloween. What could be better than dressing up in costume and getting free candy? Too bad there's an age limit on that.
The School Based Decision Making (SBDM) Council Meeting for the high school has been set for the first Tuesday of each month at 3:30 pm at the high school. We will meet in the principal's office or in one of the meeting rooms at the school. A lot of people may not realize this, but the SBDM Council Meetings are open to the public and any interested parents or community members may attend. Each school in the county has a School Based Decision Making Council and each school sets the meeting times, dates and location. Check with your individual school for details.
Charlie Rawlings celebrated a birthday on October 1st. Reecia Samples, had a birthday on the 2nd. Kristy Hampton and Greg Hoskins both had birthdays on the 3rd. I would like to wish a happy 17th birthday to Kendra Messer on October 7th. Happy 5th birthday to Taylor Alvey on the 10th. Happy birthday to Phyllis Hampton on the 8th. Gloria Smith celebrates a birthday on October 12th. In honor of the Clay County High School Academic Team's promising start to their season, I'll close with some quotes about intelligence. "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer." - Albert Einstein. "Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered – either by themselves or others." - Mark Twain. Gives us all a little hope, doesn't it? Have a good week!

You know how you live somewhere and then don't take advantage of all the area has to offer. Sort of like the people who live near Disney World but tell you, "Oh, I never go there."
Well, this past Saturday I had an experience like that. I was at the park in town with family and friends and we walked the scenic route from the Bert T. Combs park to Riverside Park. And of course, the walkway has been there for years but this was my first time through. It was such a relaxing path, winding along beside of the water and we acted all touristy and made tons of photos. Sort of halfway through it there's a little rocky creek area that would be nice to sit by.
You know a person ought to get to know their little town and enjoy all it has to offer. I'm sure that most of us have recreational areas, stores or restaurants we've never been to before. We often get in a rut and shop at the same places, eat at the same restaurants and take the same paths we do every other day. There's something to be said for taking a different path at least once in a while.
I hope some of you have headed over to pick some apples on one of these beautiful days we've been having. If you've not picked them yourselves, then you've probably at least picked some up at a market since they're in season. My friend, Linda Hensley, gave me a tasty and easy apple pie recipe that I'd like to share with you.
Fresh Apple Pie: Ingredients: 4 cups sliced apples, ¼ cup water, 1 stick butter or margarine, 1 cup sugar, ¾ cup flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon or more of cinnamon to taste (I used 1 tablespoon).
Directions: Put the sliced apples and water in a pie pan or casserole dish. Melt the butter and mix together the rest of the ingredients and sprinkle this mixture on top of the apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. See, it's simple and it's so good!
On another note, we Clay Countians have something to be very proud of. In the past we've been in the news sometimes for all the wrong reasons. But this past Friday, we were making history for all the right reasons.
Clay County High School was named First in the Nation (!) for improved AP test scores. Our school went from 11 students passing AP tests to 81 students passing AP tests this year. That is a remarkable improvement and congratulations go the students who have given their best and the teachers who have given above and beyond.
If you're not familiar with the AP program, an AP class is a college level class that a high school student can take and get high school credit for and then if they score well on the test they also receive college credit for the class. When you consider the cost of tuition, this is a money saving boon to students and parents. So congratulations to the high school and who knows how many more they may add to that number next year.
On September 30th: Happy 11th birthday to Noah Smith. Happy 12th birthday to Noah Combs. Happy 14th birthday to Morgan Dubbels.
I would like to ask everyone to remember my mom, Charlene Baker, as she has hip replacement surgery on October 5th. I just ask for your prayers that everything will go well and that she will be up and rambling around again soon.
It seems to me that I'm always running out of day before I run out of things I either need or want to do, so I'll close with this: "I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see." - John Burroughs. Have a good week!

I wonder if I can claim a "senior moment" for forgetting about my column last week. It had been a hectic week and an equally hectic weekend and after returning from Lexington last Sunday night, my mother asked, "Have you sent your column in yet?" After smacking my forehead, I replied in the negative. But on the positive side (for me, anyway) I'm back this week.
Elivia Marcum was baptized this past Sunday morning with lots of friends, family and her church family looking on. Elivia has been attending Macedonia Baptist Church since she was a baby, but I'd still like to say, "Welcome to our newest member!"
A puppet show was performed for the Team Kids last Wednesday night at Macedonia Baptist Church. Eighty-seven kids came out for the show and I hear it was a lot of fun for all involved.
Wayne and I took our yearly trek over to Haney's Appledale Farm for apple picking this past weekend. It was one of those perfect weather days with sunshine, seventy or so degrees and white puffy clouds floating in a deep blue sky. We picked a couple of bushels of apples in no time flat. You think you won't pick so many, but once you get started you sort of wander from tree to tree finding bigger or better tasting apples and it's hard to stop. If you haven't picked your own apples you're missing out on part of the fun!
Of course, you can buy many varieties of apples in their store along with all sorts of jellies, canned goods and apple cider. There's a bakery with caramel apples, apple pies and all sorts of baked goods.
This past weekend they even had apple barbeque pork sandwiches for sale, which we didn't try because we were already full from Sonny's Barbeque. If you're interested, the number for Haney's is (606) 636-6148.
Missing a week put me behind on birthdays. In September birthdays: Renee Buttery celebrated on the 15th. Rodney Miller of The Enterprise had a birthday on the 16th. Tony Marcum and Ronnie Mathis both had birthdays on the 19th.
Stephen Taylor, son of Jim and Carla Taylor, turned 8 on September 17th. Talaura Mathis celebrated her 14th birthday on September 18th. Talaura is the daughter of Ronnie and Michelle Mathis. Happy 16th birthday to Cody Davis on September 21st.
Happy 7th birthday to Braden Owens, son of Brian and Rebecca Owens, on September 22nd. Happy 7th birthday to Ben Buttery, son of Bob and Renee Buttery, on September 24th.
September 24th is also birthday day for Carla Taylor, Ella Mathis and Scotty Sandlin. Johnny Bray celebrates on the 23rd. Anne Shelby has a birthday on the 25th. James Darryl Mills celebrates on the 26th and Darrell Jackson has a birthday on the 28th. Happy birthday to all!
It seems we hear a lot these days about being grateful and learning to appreciate what we have. It's a wise idea, but not a new one. This verse was on the back of our bulletin on Sunday: "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." - Hebrews 13:5. Have a good week!

We had some wonderful revival services at Macedonia Baptist Church last week. Kevin Rice and his band led our song service and performed the special music during our first revival service on Sunday morning, August 28th. Bro. Kenneth Felty was our evangelist for the week and it was good to have him, Paula and Paul Edward visiting with us.
Betty Eagle gave her testimony followed by a solo by Jan Hoskins during the Sunday evening service. We appreciate our church talent as well as the groups that came in to worship with us.
The Letterbox Boys sang several songs for us during the Monday evening service. This was my first time hearing their gospel/bluegrass. The stage was full of guitars, banjos and one mandolin. It was uplifting to hear their testimonies interspersed with their joyful songs.
Special singing on Tuesday night was by the Pinson family with their beautiful family harmonies as their son accompanied them on his guitar.
Wednesday evening we had all of our Team Kids with us for the service. Bro. Felty provided the special music, accompanying himself on his guitar.
It was a great revival and we were blessed with several decisions. If you don't have a home church, I would like to invite to give Macedonia Baptist a try.
I took a turn around Clay County Days on Saturday afternoon during the upper ninety degree temperatures. Getting a snow cone from Phillip Jones' booth saved me over.
When the heat became too much, I ducked into Marguerite's Antiques and Vintage Boutique. The interior was stuffed with gorgeous and unusual antiques. My favorite was a crystal double brooch. I had never seen anything like it.
I meandered on down the street into Rockin Cakes. The interior is a happy mix of lime, hot pink and leopard with a few other brights thrown in. I picked up some cupcakes. My favorite thing is the homemade butter-cream icing.
Kelly Sandlin's Photography is sandwiched in the middle and all three stores have the old fashioned tin ceilings and original wood floors. I like what they've done with the block, making the effort to put out tons of flowers for a garden look. It's definitely worth a look!
Birthday wishes go out to Kenneth Stepp and Kim Robert on September 8th. Bro. Dick Smith has a birthday on September 10th. Happy birthday to Mitchell Allen on the 13th.
Happy 14th birthday to Annabelle Smith, daughter of Kenny and Renee Smith, on September 11th.
I'll close with a few "small town" quotes: "It was a marvelous advantage to grow up in a small town where you knew everybody." - Warren Christopher. "The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you're doing, someone else does." - Immanuel Kant. Have a good week!

Portable headphones are portable for a reason: they're meant to be taken out in the elements, not left at home or tucked away in your bag. The Klipsch Image S4i Rugged in-ear headphones are built tough, giving you great sound anywhere you go. These all-weather earbuds are moisture resistant, letting you put them to the test indoors and out, no matter the conditions. Your music will sound clear and full whether you're grinding through a workout in the gym, on the trail or through the streets, thanks to the S4i Rugged's dual magnet micro speakers. Deep bass and detailed highs will accompany you everywhere, without tripping you up or slowing you down. The durable cable is tangle resistant, and the moisture-resistant remote gives you easy track and volume control of your iPhone or iPod while it stays out of harm's way. Take calls using the built-in directional microphone, or ignore them and just keep moving. A secure fit for your mobile lifestyle The S4i Rugged comes with four pairs of flexible oval-shaped ear tips, so you can find the perfect fit. This not only provides optimum sound quality, but also ensures that your headphones stay securely in your ears while you're racing up a bike trail or down a ski slope. Loop the cords around your ears and attach to your clothing with the included clip for even more security. The supplied travel case and cleaning cloth make sure these headphones are always ready for action whenever you are.

Features Rugged Design: The Klipsch Image S4i Rugged in-ear headphones are extremely durable and are perfect for the active outdoor lifestyle. Designed to live with the elements, these in-ear headphones are moisture tested and the in-line remote is rubberized to offer weather resistance for outdoor activities. Note: Available in 4 colors (yellow, orange, blue, and red). Realistic Sound: The Image S4i Rugged in-ear headphones deliver realistic sound through the use of a single, moving coil micro-driver (or mini-speaker) per channel. These drivers cover a wide frequency range (10Hz-19kHz) with dynamic detail and deep bass. Noise Isolating Ear-Tips: The Image S4i Rugged headphones features angled housings for proper in-ear alignment. The Klipsch Image S4i Rugged 's exclusive soft and flexible oval ear-tips naturally fit the contours of your ear canals, providing comfortable long-term wear as well as producing a perfect acoustic seal. A good seal minimizes outside noise, also known as noise isolation (up to -16), and allows you to enjoy your music at lower, safer volumes. The Image S4i comes with four different sizes of washable ear-tips; small, medium, and large single-flange ear-tips, plus a pair of dual-flange ear-tips. X-Large 3-Button Mic and Remote System: Thanks to its advanced 3-button mic and remote system, the Image S4i Rugged in-ear headphones offer control of your Apple iPod, iPhone, or iPad. The built-in, x-large 3-button remote control lets you answer and end calls, turn the volume up and down, and control music playback (Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind, Previous/Skip). Unlike other headsets, the S4i positions its mic and remote at the cable yoke to create a more natural feel when answering calls and controlling music. The mic is a highly intelligible 360° design with echo cancellation, so you will be heard crystal clear and will not have to worry about the external noise around you.

Shirt-Clip: The S4i in-ear headphones include a shirt-clip to keep the in-line mic close to your chest when speaking. Carrying Case: The Klipsch S4i comes with a carrying case to protect the headphones during storage and transport. Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?) Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Ralph Graves Staff Writer - Creative, Big controls for big fun Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 8/20/2012 3:56:00 PM What do I like best about these headphones? The fact that I don't have to grope around for the in-line controls. It's tough to miss the bold colors of the controls. They're also big enough to find by feel almost immediately. And the buttons are raised, so I have no trouble distinguising the big plus (skip ahead) from the big triangle (play) from the big minus (skip back). Now these are controls that make sense when I'm running or my attention's otherwise engaged elsewhere.

My first pair was seized by my wife who usually doesn't like in the ear products...she liked these. So, when I saw these on sale I grabbed a pair for myself.

I have always loved the Klipsh products. This is my second sets of Klipsh ear buds and they are just as comfortable as my first. I like the extra-large control button that operated my iPod controls. I would seriously get another pair if these were broken. Pros: Light weight and comfortable Cons: none as yet Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 5 out of 5 Most comfortable earbuds I've ever owned Written By MoK, New York, NY on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I owned the Klipsch S4i before and I loved the sound, however the wire frayed around the headphone jack and they needed to be replaced. I decided to get the rugged version because I use them on the elliptical and walking home from work. These definitely seem more durable than the regular S4i's and the sound and comfort is the same- which is excellent. There's plenty of bass and noise isolation, even in New York City. I especially like the rubberized wire because that, coupled with the clip that's included, produces almost no cord noise when walking. My only gripe about these is the size of the controller, which is huge. Definitely designed for a skier wearing gloves. I don't run with these but I can imagine the controller banging on your chest would get annoying. Pros: Great sound, comfortable, durable Cons: Controller is too big Was this review helpful?

I am not a big fan of ear buds but once these are set properly and firmly in place, the sound quality is fantastic. I won't be using them for strenuous activity so I can't comment on whether they stay in place but for travel purposes they are quite good. Pros: Great sound. Cons: None so far. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 5 out of 5 Klipschtastic!!! Written By Anonymous, St Thomas, VI on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Several sets of ear tips insure a comfortable fit; fantastic sound, very clear with good highs and lows; phones stay in place; large in-line controller makes playback, volume control, phone calls and skipping forward or back very easy. Also includes a carry case. Pros: Great sound; well-made, comfortable and stay-in-place. Cons: None noticed so far 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 4 out of 5 So far, so good Written By Papoter, Michigan on Saturday, December 29, 2012 I just bought these a few days ago, so "so far, so good." I go through about 4-6 pairs of good headphones per year because I travel for my job and listen to books-on-tape non-stop (literally sometimes) and use my phone for work and personal. (I also always keep a cheap pair or two on hand as my back-ups). Because of their constant use/abuse headphones don't last me very long, so I have very high hopes for this "rugged" pair. I love the big control button as I am always fumbling a purse, a laptop, and a suitcase, so it's easy to find. I also like that it's in the center (vs. one side only). This means that I never have to figure out which side my controls are on when I need to answer a call or stop my book. So far the mic seems to be working well with phone calls -- they can hear me and I can hear them. My only concern so far is the connection to the phone. Because it goes straight in (vs. angled), it has already pulled out easily when I've caught the cord on something.......that has happened with the angled ones too, but this one just seems more vulnerable to it. I am also concerned about "bending" the cord when I wrap it to put it away. This could be the deciding factor for me, but only time will tell. Pros: Sharp looking. Center Controls. Large, easy-to-find control button. Good sound. Fits well in the ear. Cons: Not so happy about the connection to the phone (the jack). Only time will tell if this is an issue. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: moister resistance, stay in the ear, clear microphone, sound quality Cons: price 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 2 out of 5 Good sound quality; not good for running Written By Enid, San Francisco, CA on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For the price, the sound quality is good; decent bass, though still a tiny bit tinny. When properly inserted, they block noise out-to an almost dangerous level, if you're working out outside. They do look cool; the orange/black is nice for an SFGiants fan like myself. But: there are too many deal breakers to working out with these. The in-line control is way too big and heavy to make these comfortable when running. Even when using the clip to attach the control to my shirt, they are still too weighed down, and partially because of where you have to put the clip. Segue to: the control is far too high up-it should be farther from the ears, and closer to the hands (I mean, you operate it with your hands, not your face). Also, the cord is too long and tangles. And to get the right fit with the earbuds, I have to really jam them in my ear canal so that they don't fall out. I know this is different for everyone, but these are not comfortable. Klipsch recommends wrapping the cords over your ear to help keep buds in, but I wear sunglasses and a baseball hat - no room on my ears for more. Lastly, I buy rugged headphones because I'm tough on 'em, and a feature I've found in others that this pair lacks is a right angle in the cord from the jack. While it's a bad idea to wrap your headphone cord around your MP3 player, I do it anyway because it's convenient, and having that right angle reduces the resulting stress on the wire at that point. Pros: Cool colors; size of buttons on in-line controls; decent sound quality for the price Cons: Weight, size and placement of in-line controls; earbud fit; cord length; right angle at jack would be nice 6 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality 2 out of 5 Klipsch Image S4i Rugged: ok, still work to do Written By Mike, Boise ID on Sunday, November 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Probably great headphones for some, but would not fit comfortably in my ears and stay in place, even just sitting at my desk. You could make them sound great by pushing and adjusting them, but that doesn't last long. Maybe they need a better (larger) selection of rubber tips. The blue color seemed more faded than the vivid colors seen in pictures on the web. The larger control/mic was heavy, and honestly, the ear buds that come with the new iPhone are better in that regard. This also made them prone to tangling. I returned them, and Crutchfield was great about that, exchange for another item on my wish list for the same price. Pros: Sound was crisp and clear Cons: lack of bass due to poor fit, heavy large control got in the way 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I only rated the sound quality a 4-star but frankly the sound was better than I expected for such rugged heaqdphones. The ear buds are very comfortable and the cord materials do not tangle easily, which is nice as I use them in the gym. They've thus far held up well to sweat, are good looking, and again, sound better than expected for sport headphones. In my opinion, a good value on a quality set of sport headphones.

I can't believe what iv'e been missing. These things deliver amazing music clearness and great sound quality. They are equally comfortable and it is very easy to see the large manual volume control buttons. As usual Crutchfield service is beyond reproach. Pros: 1. sound quality 2. comfort 3. stays put.

After buying my wife her first pair of quality earbuds, she remarked how much she was enjoying music on her iPod. Only months later, those earbuds quit working. They were replaced by these Klipsch S4i Rugged earbuds and she is happy once again. I think the key is to keep our high schoolers from using them!

Chronicle of Knights in Armor
This book on the proper mode of conduct for a knight was written in French in around 1410 by Christine de Pisan, Europe's first prolific and respected female author. It was translated into English and printed by William Caxton (1422?-91) in 1489 at the behest of Henry VII, who wished to make it available to English soldiers. The book contained not only rules of conduct, such as how a victorious knight should treat a prisoner of war, but also practical information that Pisan had gleaned from several classical ...

Trainer John Shirreffs added a second dose of Z power to the lineup for the $250,000 Grade I Vanity Handicap at Hollywood Park Sunday, entering Zardana along with heavily favored Zenyatta Thursday.
Zardana was originally scheduled to be shipped to New York for the Ogden Phipps Handicap at Belmont Saturday. "She worked too fast here Sunday, five furlongs in 58 and 4, to ship across the country," explained Shirreffs of the change of plans. "Then the plane that was supposed to take her was delayed a day until Wednesday. All things added up to 'don't go.' It was in the horse's best interests to stay here."
Zardana, a 6-year-old Brazilian-bred mare, won the Grade II Bayakoa Handicap here in December and upset Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra in the New Orleans Ladies Stakes at Fair Grounds in March. She has the speed to control the pace in a six-horse lineup in the 1 1/8-mile race on Cushion Track. She will carry 118 pounds, 11 less than Zenyatta, under Victor Espinoza.
Zardana drew post three and Zenyatta post five in the Vanity, which will go as the eighth of 10 races.
Zenyatta, meanwhile, appeared the picture of health as she was walked around shedrow by Carmen Zamora after galloping 1 ½ miles on the main track under exercise rider Steve Willard.
"Mentally and physically, she's doing terrific," said Willard. "She's like her regular old self. Every time she runs, you wonder if she's going to make it through another race. But she always comes through."
Zenyatta, unbeaten in 16 starts, seeks a historic 17th in a row that would put her one ahead of Citation, Mister Frisky and Cigar in major races in modern history. She also seeks a record third Vanity, a race Shirreffs and jockey Mike Smith try to win for a fifth time each.
"I think the older this filly gets, the better she looks," said groom Mario Espinoza, Zamora 's husband, admiringly of Zenyatta. "She used to get more excited, like a teenager. Now, she's more relaxed."
Zenyatta bobbleheads will be given free to fans Sunday.
Trainer Dave Bernstein hopes to spring an upset in the $150,000 Californian Stakes Saturday with front-running One Track Mind.
Veteran Bernstein has one thing going for him in the Grade II test at 1 1/8 miles on Cushion Track: a 100% winning average.
"The Wicked North has been my only Californian starter," said Bernstein of the 1994 winner in a photo finish under Kent Desormeaux. "He set a track record that day."
One Track Mind, a 5-year-old chestnut gelding, seeks his first stakes win after a sharp win here in an optional claimer at 1 1/16 miles May 21.
"It's a little soon back, but he did run huge last time, and we're going to take a shot at it," said Bernstein Thursday. Tyler Baze, who won the race last year on Informed, has the call back.
"One Track Mind loves this track, and Tyler said he was awesome after he worked him the other day," said Bernstein. "He's never gone this far, but he's a gamer."
One Track Mind, a California-bred by Mach One, has won six of 17 starts and earned $226,532. He has recorded three firsts, three seconds and one third in eight starts on Cushion Track here.
"At this level, the competition is always tough, and Rail Trip is a monster," said Bernstein of the Californian favorite. "I just hope to run our race."
One Track Mind drew post three in a field of eight in the Californian, which goes as the ninth of 10 races.
Trainer John Sadler, who has won 12 graded stakes this year with eight different horses, hopes to add to those figures here in 3-year-old stakes next weekend.
Sadler said Thursday that he planned to run Distorted Dave and Ranger Heartley in the $100,000 Affirmed Handicap on Cushion Track June 19 and Line of David in the $100,000 Will Rogers Stakes on turf June 20. Both races are Grade III at 1 1/16 miles.
All look to rebound from disappointing efforts in major eastern stakes. Distorted Dave faltered to finish seventh in the Lexington Stakes at Keeneland, Ranger Heartley faded to ninth in the Lane's End Stakes at Turfway Park , and Line of David tired in the slop at Churchill Downs and finished 18th in the Kentucky Derby.
Line of David won the Arkansas Derby and two turf races at Santa Anita in his three previous starts. Rafael Bejarano has the Will Rogers call.
Sadler added to his graded stakes total here last weekend with victories by Cost of Freedom in the Grade III Los Angeles Handicap and Switch in the Grade II Hollywood Oaks.
Along with Switch, Cost of Freedom and Line of David, Sadler's other 2010 graded stakes winners are Sidney 's Candy, Crisp, Mona de Momma, Hurricane Ike and Cozi Rosie.
Competition in the Affirmed for Distorted Dave and Ranger Heartley is expected to include Sham and Snow Chief Stakes winner Alphie's Bet (Mike Smith), Laz Barrera Stakes runner-up Concord Point (Martin Garcia), impressive allowance winner Golden Itiz (Tyler Baze) and Mindblower (Alonso Quinonez).
Expected to face Line of David in the Will Rogers are La Puente Stakes winner Dream Nettie (Joe Talamo), Leroy's Dynameaux (Joel Rosario), Ukandoit (Mike Smith), Bogie and Eddie Logan Stakes winner Macias.
FINISH LINES— The stable area was overjoyed at the news of late trainer Buster Millerick being inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame. Millerick and retired jockey Don Pierce were announced Wednesday for induction this summer in Saratoga Springs , N.Y. The widely respected Millerick was best remembered for training Native Diver to three consecutive victories in the Hollywood Gold Cup from 1965-67. He ranks 10th in Hollywood Park victories with 467 and 17th in stakes with 35. Pierce, 73, was also linked with Gold Cup history, winning aboard the filly Princessnesian in 1968 and again with Quack in 1972. He also won the Los Angeles Handicap a record five straight times from 1969-73 with Indulto, Ack Ack, Fleet Surprise, Triple Bend and Soft Victory. He ranks 17th in Hollywood Park wins with 698 and 12th in stakes with 85…Television Games Network (TVG) will have a one-hour special Sunday (4-5 p.m. PDT) showcasing the Vanity. The coverage, featuring Ron Ellis, Frank Lyons, Ken Rudulph and Todd Schrupp, will also be on FSN West, Sun Sports (tape delayed), Altitude and SportSouth, meaning the Vanity broadcast will be available in more than 60 million homes…Meet-leading rider Rafael Bejarano was issued a five-day suspension by track stewards from June 16-20 for failure to make the proper effort to maintain a straight course in the stretch and causing interference with winner She'll Heir in the Cinderella Stakes Wednesday.

Uveitis is swelling and irritation of the uvea
, the middle layer of the eye. The uvea provides most of the blood supply to the retina
Iritis; Pars planitis; Choroiditis; Chorioretinitis; Anterior uveitis; Posterior uveitis
Uveitis can be caused by autoimmune disorders
such as rheumatoid arthritis
or ankylosing spondylitis
, infection, or exposure to toxins. However, in many cases the cause is unknown.
The most common form of uveitis is anterior uveitis, which involves inflammation in the front part of the eye. It is often called iritis because it usually only affects the iris, the colored part of the eye. The inflammation may be associated with autoimmune diseases, but most cases occur in healthy people. The disorder may affect only one eye. It is most common in young and middle-aged people.
Posterior uveitis affects the back part of the uvea, and involves primarily the choroid
, a layer of blood vessels and connective tissue in the middle part of the eye. This type of uveitis is called choroiditis. If the retina is also involved, it is called chorioretinitis. You may develop this condition if you have had a body-wide (systemic
) infection or if you have an autoimmune disease.
Another form of uveitis is pars planitis. This inflammation affects the narrowed area (pars plana) between the colored part of the eye (iris) and the choroid. Pars planitis usually occurs in young men and is generally not associated with any other disease. However, some evidence suggests it may be linked to Crohn's disease and possibly multiple sclerosis.
Uveitis can be associated with any of the following:
Uveitis can affect one or both eyes. Symptoms may develop rapidly and can include:
A complete medical history and eye examination should be performed. Laboratory tests may be done to rule out infection or an autoimmune disorder.
Persons over age 25 with pars planitis should have an MRI of their brain and spine to rule out multiple sclerosis.
Iritis is usually mild. Treatment may involve:
Pars planitis is often treated with steroid eye drops. Other medicines, including steroids taken by mouth, may be prescribed to help suppress the immune system.
Posterior uveitis treatment depends on the underlying cause but almost always includes steroids taken by mouth. Additional specialists in infectious disease or autoimmunity may be needed for such diseases as syphilis, tuberculosis, AIDS, sarcoidosis, or Behcet syndrome.
If the uveitis is caused by a body-wide infection, treatment may involve antibiotics and powerful anti-inflammatory medicines called corticosteroids. See autoimmune disorders
for information on treating such diseases.
With proper treatment, most attacks of anterior uveitis go away in a few days to weeks. However, relapses are common.
Inflammation related to posterior uveitis may last from months to years and may cause permanent vision damage, even with treatment.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of uveitis. Eye pain or reduced vision are urgent symptoms that require prompt medical attention.
Treatment of an underlying disorder may help to prevent uveitis in persons with a body-wide (systemic) infection or disease.

The Holy Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Typographia Medicea (Medici Oriental Press) was founded in 1584 by Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici for the purpose of printing Christian texts in Middle Eastern languages, including Arabic, Turkish, and Syriac. This Arabic gospel was produced by the press in 1590–91. The beautiful cursive Arabic type, designed by Robert Granjon (1513–90), represented an advance on all previous European attempts at creating an Arabic typeface. The fine engravings by Leonardo (Norsino) Parasole (circa 1570–1630) are after designs by Antonio Tempesta (1555–1630), who was in turn inspired by ...

Crowdfunding is a hot topic in the entrepreneurship space these days. Many startups are asking about it, and are trying to decide if seeking funding from the crowd is the right for their company. Sensing this demand, we hosted a three hour event on the subject a few days ago which you can view here and here.
On Aug. 27, we are welcoming Slava Rubin, the CEO of Indiegogo, one of the most-successful and most-recognized crowdfunding platforms, to the Kauffman Foundation. We expect a full crowd for this event, but we also will be showing his presentation entitled "How to Raise $1Million in 30 Days or Less" on a live stream that can be found here.
One of the questions I get asked the most is some version of "what do you think of crowdfunding?" I usually answer with some noncommittal answer about how it is going to be important, but no really knows how it will impact the trajectory and success of startup companies. After all, the notion of banding together through social media to fund the development of a prototype, documentary film or art project has been going on for many years now.
