| 1501. |  The proverbial race card belongs in the past
When opportunity knocks — or tries to tear your door down — you should answer.
It might get you beers with the President at the White House.
What started as a neighbor trying to do the right thing, turned into a college professor acting like a drunk college student, a policeman arresting him and the President of the United States deciding this would be a great case to comment on immediately, unlike most other newsworthy things that have happened since he took office.

Now that Halloween is behind us, it’s becoming more evident that the holidays are only a hop, skip and a jump away. Some folks have already put up their Christmas tree. Me, well technically, I never actually got around to putting up my Halloween/Fall decorations. They are still sitting in my house waiting for the right moment to be displayed. So it’s probably safe to say my Christmas tree won’t be going up anytime soon.

This week, public safety agencies across the nation are recognizing the critical role played by telecommunicators. These professionals are the true first “first responders” and one of the most critical contacts citizens have with emergency services. Each year, the second full week of April is dedicated to the men and women who serve as public safety telecommunicators. In 1992, Congress proclaimed it a national week of recognition.

I had the opportunity to visit the 9-1-1 call center around two weeks ago. It wasn’t my first visit there but each time I go, I am more in awe of what these men and women do.
I like to think of myself as a multi-tasker. Even though I can’t rub my head and my tummy at the same time, I can write stories while gulping a big cup of coffee. I can also listen to people talk while taking notes at the same time. But if you want to know what a real multi-tasker is, you must take a trip to the 9-1-1 center in Nashville. The telecommunicators definitely qualify as multi-taskers.

This way of thinking has been shared by the League of Municipalities. However, many county commissioners have submitted letters to the state with their support of reform. What is best for the North Carolina Taxpayer is both reasonable and unreasonable with expense to a few to help the greater majority. All North Carolinians should share the expense that benefits them rather than oppression of a few.

If you can, please take inside, perhaps your shop or garage. If you don't make a special effort, like several we have heard about recently, that is considered neglect if not cruelty.

Psalm 100:4 exhorts us to draw near to God. "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise." The gates open into the place of worship. The courts are the rooms of the tabernacle, a tent erected for worship. God promised to dwell, to tabernacle, among His people in the sanctuary they would build. "Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them" (Exodus 25:8).

The sons of Korah had a wonderful job. They served in the worship center of ancient Israel, the tabernacle (1 Chronicles 9:19). Their job was not one of high level. They were doorkeepers. Like modern day valets, they stood at the entrance to the tent erected for worship.These doorkeepers composed a song. One stanza typifies their attitude. "A day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness" (Psalm 84:10).
