We tend to worry about things we cant control: give it all to the Lord
We all tend to worry too
much over things we cant
control. Worry and stress
will mess up the quality of our
lives if we dont get a handle on
our emotions. When the stuff
you and I go through keeps us
from laying our heads on our
pillow and falling into a restful
nights sleep it affects our ability to function properly.
Worry is a choice that you
dont have to make. Scripture
tells us that we must learn to
discipline our minds; to grab
hold of wrong thoughts that
cause us to doubt and make
us afraid- not allow them to
enter into our minds- and immediately think about what is
pleasant and uplifting instead.
The question is...HOW do we
switch channels? And what
do we do if the same program
is playing on every channel?
Practice.
Not long ago I started to
have one of those nights. No
matter how hard I tried to rest
my mind it just wouldnt shut
off. So I got up. I reached for
my ever-ready jar of Coconut Oil and rubbed my feet

and neck (not in that order!).
AHHH! that helped. Then I
sat in my special chair (the
one that has my fantastic
HomeMedics Shiatzu Massager strapped to it), and let
it work its magic on my shoulder knots for 15 minutes. As I
focused on its soothing rhythmic sound I felt my muscles
relax.
God always helps me determine the source of the problem at times like these if I seek
His help. So I opened up my
Bible to see what He had to
say. These words popped out
at me: Count your blessings.
I had to smile at how God
works. Count your blessings
is a song my Mother used to
sing to me when I was very
little. Almost nightly Id wake
up frightened by nightmares
With many or with few: Big doesnt always mean better church
Many times through the years
people have described to me a favorite church or Bible teacher. Almost
without exception, they will mention
the size of the church or ministry
they are referencing and, of course, it
is usually quite large. The large size
seems to put some weight behind
their decision to follow the particular
ministry.
I am the pastor of a small congregation, so some might think I
am jealous of bigger ministries; and
I want to be sure and say that many
large churches and ministries have
made wonderful contributions to the
cause of Christ. Certainly, big does
not always mean compromise or
worldliness. Every Christian should
desire to see more people come to
Christ. We should seek to expand
our influence in ways that bring honor to Christ. I am not against big.

However, I am concerned that numbers in themselves seem to impress;
and even seem to some to be the sign
that God is pleased and honored with
what has transpired.
There is an interesting Old Testament text that may give a little different perspective on these things. In I

they are greatly outnumbered. I

He told the Board that the federal Affordable Care Act has had an impact.
The ACA has reduced admissions, he
said, noting that charity care and bad-debt
costs are up partially as a result. Financial
Officer Patty Stewart said the hospital is on
track for $2.1 million in charity care this
year.
On the other hand, one new project has
been a big success.
Our new Waelder clinic is quite a success
story, he said. Our Waelder numbers are
up 40 percent.
The Hospitals financial reports are also
now being impacted by care provided at local nursing homes. Gonzales Memorial has
partnered with The Heights of Gonzales to
enable greater Medicare payments, dividing
those revenues with the nursing home, and
plans are underway to add other area nursing homes to that program as well.
The Board will also review the current
Strategic Plan at its January meeting, and
Norris told board members that the future
Strategic Plan will need to focus on continued partnerships with local employers.
At this weeks webinar, we learned that
whats going on with many of these managed-care programs is that theyre finding
ways to weave people out of managed care,
he said. As we move from the free enterprise system to one that is governmentcontrolled, at least partially, we will need
to maintain strong relationships with local
employers to make sure they can provide
the best health-csare options for their employees.
out of New York City to provide custom millwork for the second episode of one of DIYs
newest shows, Amish Renogades, as part of a
New Orleans shotgun home renovation.
The show features Albert Miller and Robert Schlabach, two Amish craftsmen from
Ohio who gained fame on Vanilla Ice Goes
Amish. The premise of the new show is for
the two Amish craftsmen from Ohio to take
their building and craftsmanship skills on the
road and renovate homes in some of the most
debaucherous cities across the United States.
The episode taped in Louisiana is scheduled
for airing at an unspecified date later this season.
The young couple invited the production
company to film part of the show at Northshore Millworks 60,000 square-foot facility
which inventories exotic and rare woods from
all over the world along with machines dating
back to the late 1800s and early 1900s.
On Nov. 5, the two Amish craftsmen
worked beside one of the companys most
experienced cabinet builders to build custom
wood pieces for the New Orleans shotgun
home and shared their amazing trade skills.
The production company left New Orleans
to film the third episode of Amish Renogades in Llano in mid-November and that episode will also air this winter.
The production company wanted to find
a company whose high quality craftsmanship
matches that of the Amish and their high attention to detail, said Geoff Philippus, who
serves as Vice President of Northshore Mill-
work.
Albert, the star of the show, said hed work
there tomorrow if he could! Leon, the shows
co-star, commented that the millwork shop
was like a candy store for the Amish! he added.
Northshore Millwork along with a New Orleans interior designer, Maria Barcelona from
Maria Barcelona Interiors, will be featured on
Bath Crashers on the DIY network this spring
as well.
Northshore Millwork offers tours of their
showroom and millwork shop Monday
Friday and sell to the general public. For

Myrna battled cancer for more than seven years, and said in a feature story in The
Cannon earlier this year that its not how
long you live, but how you live, that makes
the difference.
The most remarkable thing about this
time is that I was happy, enthusiastic and
enjoying life, Myrna said in a story celebrating the annual Gonzales County Relay
for Life. I talked to the Lord at a moments
notice, thanked Him often for his blessings
during this important time. Thanked him
for being there for me, giving me peace to
do what I had to do, and most of all for
saving me.
A friend once said to me, I dont know
how you function. My answer was simple:
Im not in control. So I dont have to worry.
I hope in my struggle, in some way, I
can help future patients with this disease
deal with it and not give up hope.
McLeroy was one of the startup shareholders and was a member of the Board of
Directors of The Gonzales Cannon newspaper until shortly before her passing.
Myrna helped give us our backbone,
Cannon Publisher Dave Mundy said. She
was the one who told us to do what other
small community newspapers no longer
do, to be aggressive journalists. And its a
concept that worked.
She taught me how to fight and overcome the situation, said Nikki Maxwell,
the Cannons original managing editor, via
a message from Korea. She encouraged
me during the creation of The Cannon
newspaper, which would not exist without
her strong and ever-faithful support. At
times she was my landlady, my employer,
my life coach, my business advisor, my
mentor, but most importantly she was my
friend. She was a humble woman who
could afford to eat T-bone steak, but she
preferred Mr. Taco.
She fought her cancer head on and is
now with our Lord, said Richard Green,
who served with McLeroy on the original
board of directors.
She was born in New Gulf on March
31, 1938, to Frank Mathew Patterson Sr.
and Dessie Finch Patterson. She grew up
in Houston, graduating from San Jacinto
High School in 1956. She attended Southern Methodist University and the University of Houston, where she was Frontier
Fiesta Queen in 1958.
She married Gene Austin McLeroy on
Nov. 29, 1958. After raising her children
in Houston, Myrna moved to Gonzales
in 1984 to be closer to her beloved family
farm.
Myrna established McLeroy Land Group
in Gonzales in 1984, specializing in lease
brokerage in central and south Texas. She
proudly served on the American Associa-

couple of scores.
They will probably add
a couple of new wrinkles
but we are very familiar
with each other, Kornegay said. The winner will
be the team that makes the
fewest mistakes and does
well on special teams.
The Pirates operate out
of a spread offense, and
run and pass the football
well with Handson and
running back.
Handson is the leading
rusher with 1,254 yards
on 201 carries and 22
touchdowns. Colton Cohea has 699 yards on 124
rushes and nine scores
while Owens has 621
yards on 65 carries and 11
touchdowns.
Handson has completed 123-of-232 passing for
2,219 yards and 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Mark Villarreal is the
leading receiver with 37
catches for 865 yards and
13 touchdowns.
We will need to play
aggressive against Tyler

The Tri-County OUTLAWZ football teams, U-8, U-10 and U-12, have been invited to participate in the 2014 AAU Tackle Football League Based National Championship
in Florida. They started pool play yesterday and finish up today. Bracket play will be tomorrow and Saturday. We wish safe travels for all participating and best of
luck to these young men & coaches. These teams are made up of boys and coaches from Yoakum, Hallettsville, Shiner Gonzales, Cuero, Yorktown, Vanderbuilt and
Goliad. (Courtesy photo)
in state quarterfinals
The Hallettsville Brahmas will take on a familiar opponent at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Class 3A Division
1 state quarterfinals at Rosenburgs Traylor Stadium.
Hallettsville will face the Edna Cowboys , whom they
played in non-district back on Sept. 19, with the Brahmas winning 36-12.
The Boys defeated Universal City Randolph 38-22 in
the bi-district round, edged Hallettvilles district opponent, Goliad, 21-14 in the area round and beat Ingram
Moore, 50-28, in the regional game.
Hallettsville opened the playoffs with a 44-9 win over
Lyford, defeated Hempstead 25-14 and squeezed by district foe Mathis 27-26.
This contest against Edna will be a tough game and
a good one for the spectators, Hallettsville head coach
Tommy Psencik said.
The Cowboys are run-heavy team based out of multiple formations including heavy, offset and shotgun.
Marquis Broussard carries most of the load for Edna
with 2,253 yards on 271 carries and 25 touchdowns.
Deontae Jones (143-1,119, 13 TDs) will get plenty of
touches as well
Psencik said Edna loves sweeps, power sweeps, counters, leads and power plays.
Our defense must play with a sense of urgency and
really run to the ball, he said. Our backside has to
aware of cutbacks and screen passes.
The key is stopping Marquis Broussard. Jones is faster and gets the ball 25-30 percent of the time but he is
not an inside runner.
The Brahmas must be balanced in their offense and
protect the football.
We need to get our run game going and be sure to
protect our quarterback, and give him time to make his
reads, Psencik said.
The Brahmas have exited the playoffs at this stage the
last couple of years.
If we want to better this program, we have to advance another round, he said.
Hallettsville has had some adversity to deal with after
losing projected starting quarterback Nate Kowalik as
he moved to Goliad, a number of injuries and a departure of one of the coaches.
I am really proud of how the kids have dealt with
these situations, Psencik said.

The Department of
Veterans Affairs is making
good on a promise to get
veterans into appointments
more quickly, especially
those who live far from
medical
facilities
or
have waited too long for
appointments.
During the first week of
November, the VA sent out
the first batch of Veterans
Choice Cards to veterans
who are eligible because of
where they live: more than
40 miles from a facility,
must travel extra miles to
get around bodies of water
or mountains, or must
travel by plane or boat to
get to a facility.
During the third week
of November, the second
batch went out. These
went to veterans who were
waiting more than 30 days
either from their preferred

appointment date or past
the date they should have
been seen as determined
by their doctor. Costs
will be covered only for
VA-approved
physicianordered care.
This effort is part of
the
new
Accelerated
Care Initiative, wherein
opportunities for care have
been increased through
mobile
medical
units
and having clinics open
more hours on more days
(evenings plus weekends).
Here are some of the stats
the VA holds out as proof
the program is working:
