The Adams County Record
Pastor's Comer
Great Faith
by Wayne Preedman
Who did the Lord
describe as having "great
faith" during His ministry?.
If you are like me,
immediately your mind
went to some of His closest
followers, then religious
leaders of His day, or even
Old Testament patriarchs.
But none of these were
given praise from Jesus
for their "great faith." In
fact only two people are
described by Christ as
having "great faith" and
neither of them were even
Jewish.
The first came to
Christ early during His
ministry because he had
a sick servant. He was
a Roman Centurion, a
foreign commander in the
community of Capernaum.
I first noticed that he
came to Jesus requesting,
not demanding [which
he had the power to do]
His help in healing his
servant.
When Jesus offers to
go with him to heal his
servant the centurion
says, "Lord [Master], I
do not deserve to have
You come under my
roof. But just say the
word, and my servant
will be healed." Then
he proceeds to explain
that he is a man under
authority and basically
believes that Christ has
the authority to simply
speak the command and
his servant will be healed
at a distance without the
Lord's presence or touch.
Matthew says, that,
"When Jesus heard this,
He was astonished and
said to those following
Him, 'I tell you the truth,
I have not found anyone
in Israel with such great
faith.'"
The second Canaanite
mother who comes to
Jesus with a request on
behalf of her daughter
who is demon possessed.
The disciples try to
turn her away but she
persists and the Lord
acknowledges, "Woman,
you have great faithl Your
request is granted." And
the scripture says that her
daughter was healed from
that very hour.
So what qualifies a
person to have "great
faith?"
It isn't being of tlae
right nationality, the right
religion, or even the right
gender, but simply being
a person who persists
in placing themselves
under the compassionate
authority of God's
sovereignty over their life
and the needs of those
around them. Entrustin
someone "you truly care
about to Christ, believing
that He will do what's best
for them is truly "great
faith."

Editor's Notebook
Letters
Continued from facing page
ship at the state level,
Idaho's public schools
continue to deteriorate.
Come November, will we,
the people, rid ourselves
of the Luna laws, and
elect a legislature which
cares about people rather
than party and power?

Negativity should
stop
Dear Editor,
In regards to the
Sheriffs race:
We no longer live in
Council, ID but usually
go back every year to visit
friends. We keep in touch
and hear how things are,
in and around there.
We are seeing a lot
on Facebook about the
upcoming elections and
are floored with the nega-
tivity making the rounds.
We don't understand
the big push about Don
Allen not growing up
there, so we checked out
Tom's old high school
yearbooks and we see he
lived there thru two years
of school, so obviously he
is from there at one point.
I, myself (Lori) did not
grow up there, but lived
there for six years. When
people ask me where I'm
from, I include Council.
We don't under-
stand why people are so
focused on Don's growing
up where and when.
Is Council so narrow
minded or rigid that only
those who were born,
grew up and never left
can run for offices in
Adams County?. Are there
skeletons rattling that
make people so nervous
about "new blood?"
Even here in AZ we run
across people who live/
lived in Adams County or
who have traveled thru
and complain about the
way the Sheriff's Dept. is
run.
Council is small and
struggling like many
small towns. The nega-
tivity has got to stop, or
even those who may wish
to check out the town
may go elsewhere.

A Few Short Thoughts
Unless I didn't
recognize them,
I didn't see any
permittees who
put cattle out on
the Warm Spring
allotment at the
Payette Forest
Coalition meeting on
Thursday. This could be
a very important issue
for those cattlemen, and
I highly recommend they
get involved.
Sheep rancher and
state Senator Jeff
Siddoway gave up on
his proposed bill that I
mentioned last week. 'He
wanted more tools to
kill the wolves that have
eaten his sheep,
killed his guard
dogs and done
similar damage to
ranchers across
the state.
A report online
said: "Fighting
back tears, Siddoway
acknowledged that his
bill threatened to return
wolves to the Endangered
Species Act. He said
he had spoken to U.S.
Rep. Mike Simpson, who
authored legislation that
removed wolves from the
Endangered Species List,
and asked the Senate to
send the bill back to the
Natural Resources and
Environment Committee,
where it will remain."
A few weeks ago I
made a point here,
using an analogy about
cranes and herons. I Said
herons were a type of
crane. Well, the point
of the analogy remains
valid, but Walt Okamoto,
who is a former U.S. Fish
& Wildlife lagent and
ornithologist tells me
cranes and herons are
actually from different
families. I gqess I'll have
to fund a dfffei'ent analogy.

Doctor Oz and the business,of weight loss
whtin'g }sU mney. '; ....
Dietary supplements
marketed for weight con-
trol, depending on the
formulation, can only
assist in the weight con-
trol process; they are
not going to "melt the fat
away." It's not respon-
sible for Dr. Oz or anyone
to recommend a "quick
fix" nutritional supple-
ment for reduction of
belly fat. Body fat reduc-
tion is extremely diffi-
cult for most people and
involves calorie control,
exercise, and tremendous
discipline.
With this in mind,
there is one nutritional
supplement that Dr. Oz
has recommended that I
feel can be used safely
and effectively to assist
in the weight loss pro-
cess. It is evidence based
Oz, a highly .respected
cardiologist turned media
celebrity, has used his
extensive knowledge of
holistic medicine to raise
awareness of nutritional
therapies.
Dr. Oz has been a
positive force in helping
people understand their
nutritional options, but
often times the pursuit
of network ratings hag
replaced evidence based
nutrition. I've worked in
the health and nutrition
industry for over 20 years
and I can tell you with a
high degree of certainty
that it is impossible to
lose body fat by using an
herb, vitamin, or exot-
ic juice alone withotit

Have you been watch-
ing the Di-. Oz show
lately? If so, you're prob-
ably familiar with the
headlines: "Bust belly fat
with raspberry ketones,"
"Lose inches with 7-Keto
DHEA," "Melt fat away
with safflower oil," and "
Control emotional eating
with Relora."
It doesn't matter
whether you're shop-
ping online or at the drug
store, reading a maga-
zine, or watching televi-
sion, marketers are try-
ing to sell you the latest,
greatest weight loss phe-
nomenon. Even in a small
community like Ontario I

researched
unlike many of the
"quick fix" diet scams
available. This product
is called PGX, a unique
fiber supplement that
can decrease appetite to
help you control calorie
intake and stabilize blood
glucose, two important
issues to address in any
weight loss program.
Every one I've worked
with who has success-
fully lost weight and
kept it off has reduced
calorie intake, increased
calorie expenditure (exer-
cise), made healthier
food choices, and had
the discipline, focus,
and dedication to make
the necessary sacrifices.
Please keep in mind that
if you're overweight or
obese it took years for
you to accumulate excess
'body fat, and thus .,{t;
going to take a focused
effort to lose that body
fat and achieve a healthy
weight.

The reality is that 78%
