Gasconade County Historical J'
Society hosting guided tour
On April 12 during Spring-
fest in Owensville, Anna
Rademacher will be conduct-
ing guided tours of the Gas-
conade County Historical So-
ciety Museum located at 105
W. McFadden. The first tour
will begin at 10 a.m. and a
second tour will be conducted
at 1 p.m. The cost is $3 per
person, including coffee, tea
and cookies.
This charming small mu-
seum with interesting and
enjoyable displays for all,
also has a special exhibit
from the Missouri State Ar-
chives which includes topics
such as dueling, slavery" and
the Civil War. In addition,
an extensive collection of De-
pression glass is on display
and an exhibition of water-

be limited to 10, so reserva-
tions are suggested. Call 573-

phone number, and number

State budget plays
havoc for local schools
State dollars flowing to the
Crawford County R-1 School
District are being reduced. In
the last few years the funding
for transportation, gifted pro-
grams, and technology has
slowly gone down. In the cur-
rent year the school is faced
with a $70,000 withholding i n
state funding. The school
board took quick action to
freeze discretionary spending
when the learned of the with-
holding.
The $70,000 reduction of the
result of a $61.3 million re-
duction statewide. Reports
from Jefferson City vary in
how much Missouri schools
will be cut next year. The
numbers range from $105
million to $300 million. For
the Crawford County R-1
School District this translates
to revenue reductions between
$180,000 and $421,000. The
impact on the Crawford
County R-1 School District
would be a significant reduc-
tion in opportunities for chil-
dren through the reductions
in staff and programs.

Then will I hear from Heaven
II Chronicles 7:14
Who are God's people? God's people are those who have been born
into the family of God. Those who have accepted Jesus as Lord and
Savior. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven. (Matthew 7:21) Just to be a church member or good person will
not make you a child of God.
We need to look into our own life and judge ourself. Does the life we
live tell the world that we are a child of God? We can say all we want
to, but our actions speak so loud that people can't hear a word we are
saying.'Let us live so that the world can look at our lives and know that
we are the people of GOd. If we profess to be a Christian, let us act like
one.
First, we need to humble ourselves to God. We need to pray like the
publican prayed in Luke 18:13, "God be merciful to me a sinner". How
many of us pray this way? Instead, do we tend to pray like the Pharisee
in verses 11-127 God has always honored humility.
Second, we need to pray and seek God. We find times when our Lord
continued all night in prayer. If Jesus felt the need to do this, shouldn't
we also? How many times have you spent the entire night in prayer?
God wants us to seek Him, which means to seek to please Him, seek His
will for our life, and have His blessings given to us. How else do we
accomplish this except through prayer?
Third, this verse tells us that we are to turn from our wicked ways.
If we humble ourselves, pray, and seek God's face, we will turn from our
wicked ways. We don't hear enough preaching and teaching in this day
and time about the way people live. It seems that Satan has twisted our
minds into believing that it really doesn't matter what we do or how we
live. If we believe that's okay, then do it. But if our beliefs are wrong,
our behavior will be wrong. It doesn't matter what we lpelieve, it doesn't
change God or His word. We need to live our lives according to what the
Bible teaches.
The last part of this verse tells us that if we do the first three, GOd will
hear from heaven, and will forgive our sin, and will heal our land. Isn't
this a wonderful promise? It's up to us. Before we receive God's
blessings, there must be a turning to God.
Are you ready to hear God's word, do His will, and receive His
blessings? It's up to you. This space provided by The Cuba Free Press
