LESSONS LEARNED FROM NAAMAN The In 2 Kings 5, we read about a man with leprosy who was miraculously healed. The man’s name was Naaman, and he was a general in the king of Syria’s army. He is described as a “mighty man of valor.” But, Naaman had the dreaded loathsome disease of leprosy. Gladewater Mirror Naaman heard of an Israelite prophet who, through God’s power, could heal him of his leprosy, and he sought him out. When, however, Naaman and his entourage arrived, he was disappointed because the prophet did not cure him the way Naaman expected. Instead, the prophet Elisha sent Periodicals Postage Paid News & Advertising Deadlines: Noon Monday out a messenger telling Naaman: “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be Gladewater, TX Office Hours restored to you, and you shall be clean.” (v. 10).

Just as God, through His prophet, published weekly by Fax: told Naaman to “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, 903-845-2237 and you shall be clean,” through the Scriptures Christ says to us today, “He who believes and is Bardwell Ink, LLC Email: [email protected] baptized will be saved.” (Mark 16: 16).

The Gladewater Mirror, Wednesday, May 20, 2020, Page 5 Round-Up Rodeo canceled Continued from Page 1 as the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. The cancellation is expected to be a financial blow to Gladewater, with no restaurant traffic, convenience store purchases or shopping over the traditional four-day event. The Gladewater Round-Up Rodeo was founded in 1937 by local businessman J. N. “Jack” Yates, a Sioux Indian from North Dakota who had moved to Gladewater during the oil boom. Yates, a veteran of World War I, organized the first rodeo ever to be held in France as entertainment for the soldiers, and according to historical documents, he sought to recreate the event in Gladewater. Yates owned and operated J. N. “Jack” Yates Pipe and Supply Company, and recruited citizens to donate either funds or supplies to construct a rodeo arena. The structure was originally built from lumber, but the rodeo was such a success that it was reconstructed out of steel two years later. The Round-Up Rodeo’s recognition received a substantial boost in 1971 when Johnny Quintana scored 98 points in its bull-riding competition — a feat that held world-record status for three years. And as previously reported, thanks to COVID-19, Gladewater voters will have to wait a few more months to cast their ballots for Mayor and 2 council seats. Then on March 18, the Governor issued a Proclamation suspending certain sections of the Texas Election Code, among others, to allow political subdivisions of the State that would otherwise hold elections on May 2, 2020, to postpone General and Special Elections to the next uniform election date, which will occur on November 3, 2020. On March 19, the City Council of the City of Gladewater at a Special Called Emergency Meeting voted to approve an ordinance to postpone the City’s May 2, 2020, General Election until November 3, 2020. Other important events also have been canceled, including the Gladewater Chamber of Commerce annual banquet (the chamber plans to celebrate this year and next year at the 2021 banquet), East Texas Gusher Days, all high school proms and Spring school sporting events. And of course, graduations have been revamped. See next week’s Mirror for a GHS Graduation parade route map and all area graduation ceremony details. Also, the Gladewater Former Students’ Association Board has canceled the Annual Memorial Day Celebration May 25 at the Veterans’ Memorial Plaza on Pacific Street in downtown Gladewater.

Tefteller cast the lone vote against resuming normal hours for county offices in general. Commissioners Paula Gentry, Dustin Nicholson, Frank Berka and Jay W. Miller voted in favor.
