The Sinner’s Prayer
Today, one often hears a TV or radio preacher
exhort sinners that hear him to pray the sinner’s
prayer and be saved. Such false teaching is not found
in the Bible. You can’t just pray a prayer and be saved.
God’s plan for salvation is quite clear in the
Bible for those who trust in the word of God.
First one must have faith (Heb. 11:6) and faith
comes by hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17).
After hearing the word, one must believe (Jn. 3:16; Mk.
16:16).
Thirdly, one must repent of sins, changing your
mind and your life regarding sin (Acts 17:30). One
must confess before men that they believe that Jesus
is the son of God (Lk. 12:8).
Finally, one is baptized for the remission of their
sins (Acts 2:38; Mk. 16:16; 1 Pet. 3:21; Gal. 3:27; Rom.
6:3-4). Baptism puts one into Christ where all spiritual
blessings are.

their normal schedules, and
Monday abruptly arrives.
Life often seems mundane
and routine after the
excitement of a holiday.
I cannot help but think
this is not how it should
be.
Yes, I realize it would
be extremely difficult to
have huge family lunches
and Easter egg hunts
every weekend. However,
while those things are fun
and exciting, they pale
in comparison to the real
reason we celebrate Easter.
We celebrate Easter
because God sent his son
to live a blameless life,
yet die for our mistakes,
failures and shortcomings.
Christ dying for our sins
is foundational to our
beliefs. Without his death
and resurrection, we would
still be offering animal
sacrifices in hopes to be
granted forgiveness.
Praise the Lord that he
is gracious and merciful
to grant us unmerited
forgiveness each and every
day, because of the blood of
Jesus!
The Savior we worship
and celebrate on Easter is
the same Savior yesterday,
today and forever (Hebrews
13:8). Let’s start living like
we truly believe that!
My challenge to you all
is to continue to worship
Him each and every day as
we do on Easter Sunday.

Farrah, with their children.
Meet DCA board member Mike Thompson
BY MIKE THOMPSON
DALHART CHRISTIAN
ACADEMY BOARD
Dalhart
Christian
Academy (DCA) has had a
special place in our hearts
from the beginning of our
marriage. We were married a
month after Farrah graduated
from Abilene Christian
University, and Farrah’s first
“real” job out of college was
teaching for DCA. This was
at a time when DCA was just
a few years old. Farrah got to
see the intention of the school
from the founding families,
and we both realized early
on, that it was a different
kind of school environment.
She taught at DCA until we
started our family.
As soon as our kids
reached school age, there
was no doubt in our mind
where they would be going.
It is such a blessing to be
able to start our children’s
educational process in the
Bible, with faith-based
curriculum, and Jesus-loving
instructors. This quality is
not unique to DCA. Dalhart
is fortunate to have several
faith-based
education
options, and a great public
school system that is filled
with believers at every level.
And we all share the same
need in reaching our goal:
fundraising is vital.
Each of the private
Christian schools in Dalhart,
and many of the Christian
organizations that operate
within the school system
depend on fundraising to
exist.
In our school, we have
14 different church bodies
represented in the student
body, and only 62 percent
of our income comes from
tuition and fees. The other
38 percent comes from all of
the fundraising activities that
our students are undertaking
each year. As you can see in
the numbers, we could not
meet our budget without the
never-ending support of the
community.
We are grateful to live in
such a generous community,
and we are especially
appreciative to be housed
in the First Baptist Church.
(Their facility and the
ROC is awesome! We are
blessed to have the use of it
all. ) Even when times are
tough, when the markets are
off, and the news is full of
bad economy rhetoric, this
community gives. And we
are all so thankful for it.
DCA
needs
your
continued support.
Our
largest fundraiser of the
year is this month. SteakOut is April 10th, and has
year in and year out been the
pivotal event in our budget
year. Our kids and adult
volunteers will be making the
rounds, selling tickets and
asking for donations. Thank
you for the generosity you
have shown us in the past,
and please keep our school
in your prayers. We are
looking forward to another
great Steak-Out, and a long
future of educating kids in
the Word of God.
Please come and join us
for our Spring Program. It
will be May 5th at 7 p.m.
in the First Baptist Church
auditorium.

are ready to hunt eggs.
Legacy residents celebrate Easter holiday
BY PAULA NUSZ
LEGACY ASSISTED LIVING
The Easter season crept
up this year, being early in
the season. Legacy enjoyed
several events associated with
the holiday.
Legacy hosted an egg
hunt for the 18 students
from the Catholic School’s
kindergarten class.
This
activity began with filling
150 plastic eggs with goodies.
Fillings included candy,
bubble gun, pretzels,erasers,
stickers, balls, and fuzzy
chicks. Ten residents helped
with this chore. The egg
hunt was on Thursday, March
24. Two residents helped
‘hide’ the eggs in the grassy
area on the northeast side of
the Legacy complex. The
children took about five
minutes to find the eggs, and
then took some time in the
Legacy dining area visiting
with residents and showing
off their egg harvest. It was
such fun. Eight residents
enjoyed the interaction with
these children.
The adult Easter party was
held on Tuesday, March 22.
The snacks were chocolate
chip cherry cheesecake and
lemonade. The program was
an analogy of the life cycle
of a butterfly and the risen
Christ.
Each participant
made their own butterfly
using muffin cup liner papers
and clothes pins. Googly
eyes and antennae made the
butterflies so cute. Magnetic
tape made their art into
magnets. A Native American
poem about the butterfly was
also shared. Fifteen residents
participated.
A seasonal bingo game
was held on Thursday,
March 24. The special prizes
were marshmallow eggs –
a traditional Easter candy.
Two volunteers, Mormon
missionaries, called the game
and distributed the prizes.
Good Friday Services
were held on Friday, March
25. Reverend Cindy Ballard
brought the message. She
spoke about why this most
somber holy day is called
Good Friday. The group also
sang several songs during
the services. Eight residents
and five guests were in
attendance.
Seasonal
decorations
filled Legacy with color and
fun. Ceramic rabbits, all
sorts of eggs, spring flowers
and crosses fill the common
areas.
Visits with family and
friends make Easter time very
special to Legacy residents.
Legacy Assisted Living
is located in Dalhart, Texas.

High tunnels on the High Plains: AgriLife research eyes vegetables for improved water use
BY KAY LEDBETTER
TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE
COMMUNICATIONS
AMARILLO – When
planting season comes
around this summer, Dr.
Charlie Rush, Texas A&M
AgriLife Research plant
pathologist in Amarillo,
won’t be planting traditional
crops or in traditional
fields.
Rush
is
beginning
a new project looking
at high-value vegetable
crop production under
high tunnels, particularly
tomatoes this year.
High
tunnels
are
Quonset hut-type structures
similar to greenhouses in
appearance but lacking
artificial heat.
As water concerns
continue to rise, the
potential for making more
money with the available
water is really good, he
said, so that’s one of the
reasons to look at this new
production system with
high tunnels and high-value
vegetable crops.
“One of the reasons
we’re doing this research
is because the Ogallala
Aquifer is certainly limited
and in most cases the
water level is dropping,”
Rush said. “In areas south
of Amarillo particularly,
the water availability is
becoming scarcer every
year.”
It’s more difficult for
farmers to pump due to the
depth of water and the cost
involved, he said.
“So obviously it’s really
important that everybody
make the most out of
every inch of water they
apply that they can,” Rush
said. “We strongly believe
that in some of the areas
where they are running
out of water, they’re no
longer going to be able to
grow high-value crops like
peanuts or potatoes and
even corn, because these all
require a lot of water.
“Whereas, if you had a
high tunnel, you could grow
tomatoes and the amount of
money you could make for
every inch of water vastly
outpaces what you could
make on any other crop
we’re currently growing in
the Panhandle.”
Rush said he has
multiple research projects
to conduct under the high
tunnels with a growing
interest being expressed
by retailers. H-E-B is
currently supporting one
project with the Texas
Department of Agriculture
and United Supermarkets
also expressed interest in
collaborating.
“The
potential
for
retail grocers to increase
availability of high quality
vegetables by purchasing
from local growers is quite
high,” he said.

Overall cattle market remains steady and looks good for producers in 2016
BY ADAM RUSSELL
TEXAS A&M AGRILIFE
COMMUNICATIONS
COLLEGE STATION —
Spring conditions are helping
shape a strong cattle market
in 2016, according to a Texas

Dr. David Anderson, an

averaged about $101 per
hundredweight for the year.
Prices began climbing
in mid-2009 as producers
reduced herds and drought
conditions in 2011 forced
even more herd reduction,
Anderson said.
Sharply falling feed
costs in 2013 and 2014 only
accelerated rising calf prices.
Anderson said the El
Niño weather pattern over
the past couple years likely
contributed to drought ending
rains, creating conditions
which allowed producers to
expand herds.
But expansion is driving
prices down now, he said.
He expects the long-term
trend to continue downward
but doesn’t expect dramatic
price fluctuations for the near
future.
Prices for 500-600 pound
calves remain strong because
they are still hard to come by,
he said.
A La Niña weather
pattern is expected to develop
later this year, but Anderson
said any drastic change over
the summer could move the
market one way or the other.
However, he expects

TEMPLE,
TEXAS,
March 29, 2016 – The
U.S.
Department
of
Agriculture (USDA) has
announced that $5.8 million
in competitive funding is
available nationwide to help
start, improve or expand
cooperative businesses in
rural areas.
“Cooperatives have long
been a key resource for small
and midsized producers
working together to access
new markets or to market
value added products,” said
Under Secretary for Rural
Development Lisa Mensah.
“This funding helps them
continue their crucial role
supporting farmers and other
businesses that create jobs,
provide services and improve
the quality of life in rural
America.”
“USDA
Rural
Development’s
mission
is to provide assistance
that will increase the
economic conditions of rural
communities,” said Texas
State Director Paco Valentin.
“These funds will promote
start up, expansion and
operational
improvements
as cooperatives work to
grow and strengthen their
businesses
and
provide
sustainable, well-paying jobs
to rural residents.”
The Rural Cooperative
Development Grant (RCDG)
Program provides funding
to non-profit cooperative
develop
centers
and
institutions of higher learning.
Grants may be awarded for
up to $200,000 and matching
funds are required equal to
25 percent of the total project
cost.
For information on how
to apply for RCDG grants,
contact the USDA Rural
Development Texas State
Office at 254-742-9780 or
