State Superintendent ofPublic Instruction JoyHofmeister emphasized that thestate should be prepared tocontinue serving a growingstudent population each year.

“Once again, Oklahomaschools are educating morestudents than ever before withfew new resources,” Hofmeistersaid. “Funding has not keptpace with the steady rise inenrollment over the past decade,

the growing diversity ofOklahoma’s student populationor the decrease of trainededucators entering the profession.We will continue to advocate forteacher pay raises and adequatefunding levels to meet the needsof all Oklahoma schoolchildren.”

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa ClausBy CRAIG HALLEvery year at the

State National Bank, myfather, Gene Hall, alwaysliked to run anadvertisement in theLedger on the last issuebefore Christmas.

I have tried tocontinue on the traditionand used the column andagain this year, it iscoming to the Ledger.

It is an editorial fromthe New York Sun onSept. 21, 1897. Theeditorial goes like this:

“We take pleasure inanswering thusprominently thecommunication below,expressing at the sametime our great

gratification that its faithfulauthor is numbered amongthe friends of the Sun:

Dear Editor—I am 8 years old. Some

of my little friends say thereis no Santa Claus. Papasays, “If you see it in TheSun, it’s so.” Please tell methe truth, is there a SantaClaus?

Virginia O’Hanlon115 West Ninety Fifth

StreetVirginia, your little

friends are wrong. Theyhave been affected by theskepticism of a skeletal age.They do not believe exceptthey see. They think thatnothing can be which is notcomprehensible by their

little minds. All minds,Virginia, whether they bemen’s or children’s, arelittle. In this great universeof ours, man is a mereinsect, an ant, in his intellectas compared with theboundless world abouthim, as measured by theintelligence capable ofgrasping the whole of truthand knowledge.

Yes, Virginia, there is aSanta Claus. He exists ascertainly as love andgenerosity and devotionexist, and you know thatthey abound and give toyour life its highest beauty

and joy. Alas! How drearywould be the world if therewere no Santa Claus! Itwould be as dreary as ifthere were no Virginias.There would be nochildlike faith then, nopoetry, no romance tomake tolerable thisexistence.

We should have noenjoyment, except in senseand sight. The external lightwith which childhood fillsthe world would beextinguished.

Not believe in SantaClaus! You might as wellnot believe in fairies. You

might get your papa to hiremen to watch in all thechimneys on ChristmasEve to catch Santa Claus,but even if you did not seeSanta Claus coming down,what would that prove?Nobody sees Santa Claus,but that is no sign that thereis no Santa Claus. Themost real things in theworld are those that neitherchildren nor men can see.Did you ever see fairiesdancing on the lawn? Ofcourse not, but that’s noproof that they are notthere. Nobody canconceive or imagine all thewonders there are unseenand unseeable in the world.

You tear apart thebaby’s rattle and see what

makes the noise inside, butthere is a veil covering theunseen world which not thestrongest man, nor even theunited strength of all thestrongest men that everlived could tear apart. Onlyfaith, poetry, love,romance, can push asidethat curtain and view andpicture the supernal beautyand glory beyond. Is it allreal? Ah, Virginia, in all thisworld there is nothing elsereal and abiding.

No Santa Claus! ThankGod! He lives and livesforever. A thousand yearsfrom now, Virginia, nay 10times 10,000 years fromnow, he will continue tomake glad the heart ofchildhood.”

Christmas, 2017By LEON YOUNGBLOOD

After wrestling with the burden of what Christmasgift to give from the Heavener Ledger and “BriarCircle” to our readers and subscribers, I have decidedto give advice.

Advice is the cheapest “coin of the realm,” and aboutthe only thing I can afford this year and still give liberally.I am giving advice to my own family members, in fact;and I am sure it will be returned to the vendor Dec. 26,with interest.

So allow me to start with advising everybody tosupport the Heavener Ledger, especially by subscribingor renewing your current subscriptions. Giftsubscriptions are a wonderful idea, too. Not only willyou get the paper editions, but you can go online forcurrent editions, archives, and other services, all whilesustaining a LeFlore County institution.

Advice for area businesses and service providers:Advertise. You will do yourselves and the community alot of good. And have promotions like “x-percent off”coupons, or “buy one get one” deals to attractcustomers.

Once they’re through the door, the rest is up to you,but your goods, services and dedication will drawregulars to your business. Promote it! And like someobscure poet has observed, “Late to bed, early to rise,work like the Editor of a small-town newspaper, andADVERTISE!”

If you’re going to be fishing in the cold wintermonths, I have advice for that, too: Dress warm, fishclear water, and use “slow presentation” sorts of lures.

I admit, though, this has never worked very well at BriarCircle.

Better advice is, go to one of the local restaurantsfor the Friday Night Fish Fry special. Go to the oneswho provide a promotional coupon, use it, and tell themyou got it in the Ledger.

Now, regarding all this “Wassailing” nonsense, aswritten up in recent columns: My advice is, don’t foolwith it. Making it requires beer or ale, sherry and brandy,and I am no authority at all regarding these beverages.

You will have to bake apples, and oranges withcloves inserted in them, and nutmeg and other spices,and sugar, and you have to simmer it without boilinganything, and then you can’t have any of it yourself, buthave to give it to “Wassailers” who come freeloading atyour door late at night expecting something to eat alongwith a quart-and-a-half of this alcoholic concoction sothey can be good and drunk and arrested by the timethey finish the neighborly round around 2:30 the nextmorning somewhere down the street.

Don’t do it!At the suggestion of knowing friends, I “googled”

recipes for wassail. There are 3,282,197 online and notwo of them are alike! Don’t do it. It ain’t worth it.Instead, save up your money and go to Great Britainnext year for the holidays.

Apparently, you can wassail yourself silly, there,Christmas Eve, but it won’t work in Heavener.

But we want you to be “joyful” over the holidays.Put simply, forget the wassail. Instead, imbibe in spiritsof goodwill, generosity, kindness and charity, and doall you can to be a supplier of “peace on Earth, goodwillto men,” even if you do not like the ones you have to bepeaceably good-willed to.

Some of us will have to work at it a little harder; butthe feeling of satisfaction you get is genuine, you willremember it and feel better the next morning.

For closing advice, these sentiments are easiermaintained if you keep in mind, Jesus is the “reason forthe season.”

I know Christian celebratory activities (and it shouldbe a celebration!) have induced other faiths andphilosophies and beliefs to insert themselves into theobservances of the Christmas season.

No one wants to be left out. But the birth of onemale baby over two-thousand years ago—well, He iswhat all the fuss is about. God, God’s gift, God’s onlybegotten Son—every bastard religion, faith, philosophyand “politically correct” view wants to be recognizedand accepted as equal.

But this baby had no equals! He has no equalstoday, either.

The major Christian holidays are all combined,though. You will never understand Christmas unless youunderstand Good Friday and Easter.

We will save this discussion for later next year.meanwhile, let’s celebrate the birth of the Christ Child!—not until we can’t see straight; but until we can see clearly.

Have a Blessed Christmas.

Who knew what when about Health DepartmentBy Rep. RICK WEST

The House SpecialInvestigation Committeekicked off interviews lastweek with four of thestate’s top officials. Themeetings revealed someinformation aboutmisspending at theOklahoma State HealthDepartment (OSDH), butthere are still lots ofquestions to beanswered.

The committeeinterviewed Gov. MaryFallin’s Chief of StaffChris Benge, formerchief of staff and currentInterim Director for theOffice of Management &Enterprise Services(OMES) DeniseNorthrup and Secretaryof Finance & RevenuePreston Doerflinger.

Doerflinger is also theformer head of OMES andis currently serving asinterim director for OSDH.Later in the week, StateAuditor Gary Jones came totestify as well.

The auditor’s office wasperforming a routine auditon the health departmentwhen they first becameaware of a serious issue at

the agency. Jones saidhealth department stafferscame forward in July aboutpossible misspending,which caused his office tojump into immediateaction.

He confirmed andfinalized financialinformation in Augustbefore telling Doerflingerabout his worries on Sept.1. Jones testified that hetold Doerflinger there were“major concerns” and thatthe health department maynot be able to make payrollin a few months. But duringhis interview, Doerflingerled lawmakers to believe hewas only alerted to major

concerns at the healthdepartment in late October.

Now I’m not anattorney, but it’s clear thatsomebody isn’t telling thetruth. And I’m tempted tobelieve the person who hasdocuments to back up hisstory.

Jones said the healthdepartment had been“artificially inflating”numbers so the agencycould pay for programs itdidn’t have funding for. Ayearly audit should bereleased at the end of thismonth, and I expect we’llsee more details then.

There are lots ofchanges currently

happening at the healthdepartment as it attemptsto right the ship.Doerflinger, as interimdirector, spoke last weekabout the dozens ofpeople laid off earlier thismonth and the more than150 who will lose their jobsin March.

He said these layoffswere already in the worksbefore he took over, andhe told lawmakers therewon’t be a disruption inservices.

Still, these layoffs arehappening mostly at thecounty health departments– not the central office.

Lawmakers on thecommittee have askedDoerflinger, Benge andNorthrup to providedocuments about the

information at OSDH, butnone brought papers withthem to the committeemeeting.

I’m hoping mycolleagues will continue topush for the information inthe coming days andweeks.

Oklahoma taxpayersdeserve straight answers,especially when $31 millionhas been misspent.

On a more joyful note,I want to sincerely wish allof you a very merryChristmas next week. Myprayer is that Oklahomanstruly take time to reflect onthe meaning of the season.There really is nothingbetter to celebrate than thebirth of Jesus Christ. Godbless, and may you allenjoy time with loved onesthis next week.

What’s going on...

Absentee voters need to applyVoters in LeFlore

County who want absenteeballots mailed to them forthe Jan. 9 City of Heavenerspecial municipal electionshould apply now,according to countyelection board secretarySharon Steele.

Although the countyelection board can acceptapplications for absenteeballots until 5 p.m. on Jan.3, Steele urged voters whowant to vote by absenteeballot to apply early.

Absentee ballotapplication forms areavailable at the countyelection board office at103 N. Church St. inPoteau. An online versionof the form can be filledout and submittedelectronically atwww.elections.ok.gov. Aprint form can also bedownloaded at thataddress.

Ballots must be in thehands of county electionboard officials by 7 p.m.on election day to becounted.

Steele said anyregistered voter may voteby absentee ballot in anyelection in which he/she iseligible to vote. However,a voter must be registeredand reside at an addresswithin the geographicalboundaries of a school

district or municipality tobe eligible to vote in schooldistrict or municipalelections. It is notnecessary to give a reasonfor voting absentee.

“While anyone canvote absentee withoutgiving a reason, the law stillprovides severaladvantages to absenteevoters in some categories,”Steele said.

By stating one of thefollowing reasons on theirapplications, absenteevoters can activate specialconditions that make iteasier for them to useabsentee ballots. Thereasons are:

· Voters who arephysically incapacitatedand voters who care forphysically incapacitatedpersons who cannot be leftunattended may voteabsentee. They may applyonly by mail, by fax, byemail, online or via anagent who is at least 16years of age and who is notemployed by or relatedwithin the third degree ofconsanguinity or affinity toany person whose nameappears on the ballot.

THE BIBLE SAYS

Sponsored byBaptist Elder Curtis Pugh

(Jeremiah 10:23)

“O LORD, I know that theway of man is not in himself:it is not in man that walketh

to direct his steps,.”

Christmas is beyondmortal man’scomprehension. So manyquestions remainunanswered in the mind ofman. How could Godbecome a man? Why wouldGod want to do such athing? Why would Godrestrict Himself to humanflesh for any period of time,let alone thirty-plus years?Why would the Creatorallow the creature tomistreat Him? We simply donot have the capacity tounderstand these and otherquestions regardingEmmanuel (God With Us).

Luke 2:25-35, however,gives some very interestinginsight, “There was a manin Jerusalem whose namewas Simeon; and this manwas righteous anddevout, looking for theconsolation of Israel;

and the Holy Spirit wasupon him. 26 And it hadbeen revealed to him bythe Holy Spirit that hewould not see deathbefore he had seen theLord’s Christ. 27 And hecame in the Spirit into thetemple; and when theparents brought in thechild Jesus, to carry outfor Him the custom of theLaw, 28 then he took Himinto his arms, and blessedGod, and said, 29 “NowLord, You are releasingYour bond-servant todepart in peace,According to Your word;30 For my eyes have seenYour salvation, 31 WhichYou have prepared in thepresence of all peoples,32 A LIGHT OFREVELATION TO THEGENTILES, And the gloryof Your people Israel.”33 And His father andmother were amazed at

the things which werebeing said about Him. 34And Simeon blessed themand said to Mary Hismother, “Behold, thisChild is appointed for thefall and rise of many inIsrael, and for a sign tobe opposed — 35 and asword will pierce evenyour own soul — to theend that thoughts frommany hearts may berevealed.” (NASU)

Simeon was one of therighteous and devout Jewswho had not given up hopethat the Messiah wouldcome. Simeon hadcontinued to look withexpectation even thoughGod had been silent forseveral centuries. In verses30-33 above, Simeondeclares at least threemarvelous truths about theChrist Child. First,Emmanuel has come tobring salvation to a world

that desperately needed andstill needs it. Second,Simeon recognizes thegreat missionary heart ofGod. Simeon shocked theJewish hearers when hedeclared that the Messiah,Emmanuel, was bringingsalvation to all peoples. Justin case the Jews might nothave understood what hemeant, Simeon repeated thesame idea in differentwords. He reminded themthat Isaiah had said inchapters 9, 42, 49, 51, and60 that the Messiah wouldbe a Light to the Gentiles.Amazingly, God had notcreated a special nationfrom Abraham simply tobless that special nation butrather to use that nation tobless every tribe, tongue,and nation by having theMessiah come from them.Simeon also pointed out thatGod’s use of the nation ofIsrael to deliver the Messiah

to the world was a highhonor indeed.

While Simeon did notexplain what the decisionis; he did make it clear inverses 34–35 that a choicemust be made regardingthis One Sent to BringSalvation to All Nations.During this and everyChristmas season we oughtto ponder this choice whichis fully explained elsewherein the New Testament.Emmanuel does not allowanyone to remain neutralregarding Him. Everyperson must choose forhimself or herself.Attempting to avoid thechoice is deciding againstHim. The Bible says wemust put our total trust inEmmanuel (Jesus). Thattrust must be evidenced byrepentance and obedience.

A light of revelationPastor Steve Ellison

Religious blasphemyBy Elder Curtis Pugh

a

Claiming to do what Godhas already done is tocommit the sin ofblasphemy. For instance,claiming to have created theworld is blasphemy. Mostprofessing Christians wouldagree with the foregoingstatements and yetmultitudes of times eachday well-meaning religiouspeople tell lost people tocommit the sin ofblasphemy.

Surprisingly enough,these well-meaning folk tellpeople to commit the sin ofblasphemy in order to besaved! What is it they tellpeople? Very often you willhear folk telling lost peopleto “believe,” or “accept theLord,” or “make a decisionfor Christ,” and then add toit “and make Him Lord” or“make Him your Lord.” It

is human wisdom to thinkthat sinners can be savedby this work or that work.But the Bible is clear, “Forby grace are ye savedthrough faith; and thatnot of yourselves: it isthe gift of God: Not ofworks, lest any manshould boast,”(Ephesians 2:8-9). Thecarnal mind of theunregenerate just will notbelieve that Christ finishedthe work of providing asatisfactory payment forthe sins of His people. Sothey add some kind ofworks to their so-calledplan of salvation and oftenthis supposed good work isactually sin.

These folk encourage –actually they demand – thatthe sinner commitblasphemy by claiming todo what God has alreadydone. If asked, I suppose

each of these folk wouldclaim to have done this thingthat God has already doneand so they, too, would beguilty of blasphemy. Whatexactly is it that theydemand of the sinner thatconstitutes blasphemy?Why, they tell lostindividuals to “make ChristLord.” In spite of the factthat God has already donethis very thing multitudes ofpeople are told to do whatGod has already done!

What does the Biblesay? Peter said,“Therefore let all thehouse of Israel knowassuredly, that God hathmade that same Jesus,whom ye have crucified,both Lord and Christ,”(Acts 2:36). This is notquibbling about words! Godhas already made the sameJesus whom the Jewscrucified “both Lord and

Christ.” (Christ meansMessiah or deliverer: thelong-promised savior ofIsrael). Clearly and reallyGod “hath made” (pasttense) this Jesus to be Lord!

He is Lord! You cannotmake Him Lord! No manever did make Him Lord!Claiming to do so is to claimto do what God has alreadydone! What lost sinnersought to do is summed up inPsalm 2:12: “Kiss the Son,lest he be angry, and yeperish from the way,when his wrath is kindledbut a little. Blessed areall they that put their trustin him.” Do you have “trustin him?” This is saving faithand is the work of God inthose whom He saves. Wecounsel you, as Jesus said,“...except ye repent, yeshall all likewise perish,”(Luke 13:5).

By Lance Yandell

Colossians 2:5-23. Theseare Apostle Paul’s words tothe Colossian churches.“For though I am absent inthe flesh, yet I am with youin spirit, rejoicing to seeyour good order and thesteadfastness of your faithin Christ. As you there forehave received Christ Jesusas Lord, so walk in him.Rooted and built up in himand established in the faith,as you have been taught,abounding in it with thanks-giving. Beware lest anyonecheat you through philoso-phy and empty deceit, ac-cording to the traditions ofmen, according to the ba-sic principles, of the world,and not according to Christ.

For in him dwells all thefullness of the Godheadbodily, and you are com-plete in him, who is the headof all principality andpower. In him you were cir-cumcised with the circum-cision made without hands,by putting off the body ofsins of the flesh, by the cir-cumcision of Christ. Buriedwith him in baptism, inwhich you also were raisedwith him through faith in theworking of God, who raisedhim from the dead.

And you being dead inyour trespasses and the cir-cumcision of your flesh, hehas made us alive togetherwith him, forgiving all ourtrespasses. Having wipedout the handwriting of re-quirements that wasagainst us. And he has

taken it out of the way, hav-ing nailed it to the cross.Having disarmed principali-ties and powers, he madea public spectacle of them,triumphing over them in it.

So let no one judge youof food or drink, or regard-ing a festival or a new moonor sabbaths, which are ashadow of things to come,but the substance is ofChrist. Let no one cheatyou of your reward, takingdelight in false humility andworship of angels, intrud-ing into those things whichhe has not seen, vainlypuffed up by his fleshlymind, and not holding fastto the Head, from whomall the body, nourished andknit together by joints andligaments, grows with theincrease that is from God.

Therefore, if youdied with Christ from thebasic principles of theworld, why, as though liv-ing in the world, so you sub-ject yourselves to its regu-lations, do not touch, do nottaste, of not handle, whichall concern things whichperish with he using of thecommandments and doc-trines of men? These thingsindeed have an appearanceof wisdom in self imposedreligion, false humility, andneglect of the body, but areof no value against the in-dulgence of the flesh.”

Man has alwaysclaimed forms of utopia ora way to better mankind,but it always leads to fail-ure. Hold steadfast to yourfaith in God for he is the

only one who can heal thehuman soul from thetroubles of this world toeternal life and peace thatsurpasses all understand-ing.

Do you have steadfastfaith in Christ?

Pray for our countryand our leaders

Glory to God inthe highest, andon earth peace,

good willtoward men.

And she brought forth her first born son, andwrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid himin a manger; because there was no room forthem in the inn.

And there were in the same country shepherdsabiding in the field, keeping watch over theirflock by night. and lo, the angel of the Lordcame upon them, and the glory of the Lord shonearound about them; and they were sore afraid.And the angel said unto them,

“Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidingsof great joy, which shall be to all people. Forunto you is born this day in the city of David aSavior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shallbe a sign unto you; ye shall find the babewrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a man-ger.”

A CandA CandA CandA CandA Candymaker’ymaker’ymaker’ymaker’ymaker’s Ws Ws Ws Ws WishishishishishA Candymaker in Indiana wanted

to make a candy that would be awitness,so he made the ChristmasCandy Cane.He incorporated several symbols

for the birth, ministry and deathof Jesus Christ.He began with a stick of pure white, hard

candy. White to symbolize the Virgin Birth andthe sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to sym-bolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of theChurch, and firmness of the promises of God.The Candy maker made the candy in the form of

a “J” to represent the precious name of Jesus,who came to earth as our Savior. It could alsorepresent the staff of the “Good Shepherd”with which He reaches down into the ditches ofthe world to lift out the fallen lambs who, likeall sheep, have gone astray.Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the

Candymaker stained it with red stripes. He usedthree small stripes to show the stripes of thescourging Jesus received by which we arehealed. The large red stripe was for the bloodshed by Christ on the cross so that we couldhave the promise of eternal life.Unfortunately, the candy became known as a

Candy Cane- a meaningless decoration seen atChristmas time. But the meaning is still therefor those who “have eyes to see and ears tohear”. I pray that this symbol will again be usedto witness To the Wonder of Jesus and His GreatLove that came down at Christmas and remainsthe ultimate and dominant force in the universetoday.

~ It’s Christmastime! ~It’s Christmastime at my house,

the relatives are here.They eat me out of house and home.

I love the decorations,and the sleigh bells in the snowBut I wish those pesky relatives

would take their kids and go.

Those cookie crunchers fed the doga twenty pound rib roast.

His feet are sticking in the airlike skinny old fence posts.

Now they’re in a free-for-all,the girls against the boys.

They’re fighting over boxes’cause they’re bored with all their toys

My mother-in-law is snoringin my favorite TV chair.

Those kids are stringing lights on herand tinseling her hair

I oughta wake her upbefore the fireworks begin.

But I wanna see those blue sparks flywhen they plug her in.
