July 12 – CLASS of 1956 REUNION

1956Dear Classmates,

It’s nearing July 12th when we will gather to celebrate our SHS 58th Class Anniversary at Centennial Bank community room, formerly Citizen’s Bank. We are looking forward to seeing everyone and hope you have made your plans to attend.

We’ll have coffee and donuts out about 10:00. Then our local Klemke’s Barbeque Joint will serve lunch at 1:30.

Alton will be here to take the class picture and we can place our orders. Then we’ll be free the rest of the afternoon to relax and visit. It would be fun to see any pictures or memorabilia you have of the “older but golder” years. This will conclude our planned activities. You may want to make additional plans for the evening.

If you will need accommodations, the Slaton Knight’s Inn on Highway 84 (806-828-5831) is comfortable and reasonable. The Harvey House has limited rooms available. Call Sandy Self at 806-632-5536 or 806-828-4972 for information.   Mercy Center is another option, and Mark Meurer can be reached at 806-789-8456.

It will be helpful if you can let us know by June 15 if you will be able to attend along with $15 a single and $30 a couple to cover food and incidental expenses. My mailing address is 6308 77th St, Lubbock 79424. My home number is 806-687-0509.

The Battle for the Mind (Rom 8:5-8)

Curtis BakerBy: Curtis Baker

I have often heard it said that we only use ten percent of the capacity of our brains. If this happens to be true, this opens up fascinating possibilities of what we could be capable of if we could access all, or even just a portion of our untapped potential. If we are capable of doing some of the extraordinary things we have done with only ten percent of our total capacity, one wonders what might happen if we could access twenty, fifty, or even one hundred percent of our potential. In some ways, that sounds like an exciting possibility! In other ways, it sounds frightening. As a matter of fact, this summer a movie is being released whose story line is based on this very possibility. Our minds are powerful things. They are capable of great good…but also great evil.

Because this is true, we can understand why Paul is so emphatic in Romans chapter eight about the importance of the mind in our spiritual life. If the mind is half as powerful as we think it might be, this is one aspect of our life that must be seriously disciplined if we are going to live into the life that Paul calls us to in Jesus Christ.
