The Conversion of Paul Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee in Jerusalem after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, swore to wipe out the new Christian church, called The Way. He got letters from the high priest, authorizing him to arrest any followers of Jesus in the city of Damascus. On the Damascus Road, Saul and his companions were struck down by a blinding light, brighter than the noonday sun. Saul heard a voice say to him: "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" (Acts 9:4, NIV) When Saul asked who was speaking to him, the voice replied, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecut- ing. Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." (Acts 9:5-6, NIV) The men with Saul heard the sound but did not see the vision of the risen Christ that Saul did. Saul was blinded. They led him by the hand into Damascus to a man named Judas, on Straight Street. For three days Saul was blind and did not eat or drink anything. Meanwhile, Jesus appeared in a vision to a disciple in Damascus named Ananias and told him to go to Saul. Ananias was afraid because he knew Saul's reputation as a merciless persecutor of the church. Jesus repeated his command, explaining that Saul was his chosen instrument to deliver the gospel to the Gentiles, their kings, and the people of Israel. So Ananias found Saul at Judas' house, praying for help. Ananias laid his hands on Saul, telling him Jesus had sent him to restore his sight and that Saul might be filled with the Holy Spirit. Something like scales fell from Saul's eyes and he could see again. He arose and was baptized into the Christian faith. Saul ate, regained his strength, and stayed with the Damascus disciples three days. After his conversion, Saul changed his name to Paul. The conversion of Paul shows that Jesus himself wanted the gospel to go to the Gentiles and that it was no human being's idea. That would quash any argument from the early Jewish Christians that the gospel was only for the Jews. The men with Saul did not see the risen Jesus, but Saul did. This miraculous message was meant for one person only, Saul. Saul witnessed the risen Christ, which fulfilled the qualification for an apostle (Acts 1:21-22). Only those who had seen the risen Christ could testify to his resurrection. PAGE 18 CANNON COURIER APRIL 27, 2016 PUBLIC NOTICES

Consider the “breakeven point” – the age you need to reach to come out ahead by waiting to claim Social Security – is 78 for someone who claims at 62 versus waiting to 66. If you don’t anticipate making it to 78, go ahead and claim early. However, if you are married or have other dependents at home that depend on your benefi t, you may want to hold off because starting early will reduce their survivor’s benefi ts. You’re a lower-earning spouse: If you’re married and your lifetime earnings are much lower than your spouse’s, you could take your benefi t early but your higher-earning spouse should delay. This lets you increase your household income now, while the higher-earning spouse’s benefi t grows, therefore increasing the survivor benefi t. This strategy is best suited when a lower-earning wife is three to six years younger than her husband and her earnings are 30 to 40 percent of his. She should claim at 62 and he should claim at full retirement age, or bett er yet wait to age 69 or 70. Because the husband is likely to die earlier, the wife’s reduced benefi t will be temporary and she will then qualify for the higher survivor benefi t. Skeptical of Social Security: Many people take their retirement benefi ts early because they fear Social Security will go bankrupt, but this not a good reason to start collecting early. While it is true that the Social Security trust fund will become insolvent around 2033 – 17 years from now – if no changes are made, that doesn’t mean there will be no more money for benefi ts. It means that the fund is no longer taking in enough money to cover all promised benefi ts. Thus payment checks are likely to end up shrinking by about 25 percent. But, if the thought of losing out on your benefi ts keeps you up at night, then it may be bett er to start claiming early instead of holding off for more later.
