Not Alone
There is someone who knows your name
after you know him you won’t be the
same
He will fill you up your entire life
Cutting out sin like a sharp knife
Peace will start to gently flow
Best feeling you will ever know
Jesus is the very best gift
Giving your heart a healthy lift
Praising him with your whole being
Changes you will definitely be seeing
Enjoy this wonderful life giving ride
The Holy spirit will be at your side
Leading you in Jesus’ ways
Filling you up with even more praise!
Jean Nonnamaker,
Bluffton
A Valentine’s Eternal Love
When cupid shot his arrow, two hearts
Became one. Innocent and sweet, a
True blessing from above.
she was sixteen, he was too, they met at
a school dance and suddenly, their dark
sky turned heavenly blue.
some say events of the youth shouldn’t
Be wasted on the young, but I say,
God’s plan is never wrong, for what
Is meant to be will continue to be
strong, as well as a happy song.
sharing truth, respect, and trust, two
Hearts will agree and be blessed
With heavenly stardust.
One day when they are mature and
Plan for deeper things, they will
Look forward to exchanging double
Wedding rings.
Many Valentine’s days will pass, and
Then, as life will do, it will
sadly be their last.
after old age has passed, God will
Lovingly bring them to paradise.
How beautiful! Love eternal, oh!
How very nice.
Lila Rose Roszman,
Marion
Feb. 14
February is chilly, bleak, and cold
Unless you ski or skate, nothing to do
No wonder bears hibernate, but wait!
There is Valentine’s day for me and for
you!
a time for sweet hearts and flowers
The greatest day of the week
say to all “I love you,” they’d rejoice
Before you even speak.
Families need love, churches need love
Love always cares for others
Making us Christian brothers.
Churches are built on this
Hope is built on love
If we practice here
We’ll receive great love from above.
We’ll feel blessed and happy
Just by letting others know.
and to our surprise — chilly
February will really glow!
Rowena McDougle,
Findlay

Union shuts down final major
East Coast Confederate port
EDITOR’S NOTE: This series
celebrating our heritage during
the 150th anniversary of the Civil
War draws primarily from wartime dispatches credited to The
Associated Press or other accounts
distributed through the AP and
other historical sources.
The Union army, in its latest
blow to the Confederacy, captured
Wilmington, North Carolina, this
week 150 years ago in the Civil War.
The federal victory meant President abraham Lincoln’s troops had
shut down the last major East Coast
port of the Confederacy, and a criti-
cal route for supplies to the southern army.
The fighting that led to the fall of
Wilmington began in mid-February
as Union forces confronted Confederates defending Fort Fisher. Union
gunboats pounded the fort and Confederates ultimately had to pull out
ENGAGEMENT
the night of Feb. 18, 1865, and early
the following day as Union forces
marched toward the rear of the fort.
Between Feb. 21 and 22 of that year,
federal forces put up relentless pressure as the fighting forced the Confederacy to remove its forces and
retreat from Wilmington.
