jury in June 2011 of four counts of

DUI manslaughter in connection

with the 2010 deaths of four mo-

torcyclists, was sentenced to life in

prison by Circuit Judge William H.

four sentences to run concurrent,

court records show. He was also

COLUMNIST

A little over a month ago in an ar-

ticle, I mentioned Darroll Martin, a

Wildwood/Oxford resident, and a

football friend of mine, as we

played against each other in 1959.

If you recall the article, it was Dar-

roll's play in the game that cost me

and my teammates a chance to play

in the Elks Bowl in Leesburg. We

all know that Darroll is battling a

serious health issue at this time.

I have talked to several people

that know Darroll and what he

means to them and what he means

to the area. I had an opportunity to

sit down with Darroll for two hours

last week and after our conversa-

tion it is only fitting that I recog-

nize this man.

After sitting down with this man,

I find him to be a humble and emo-

tional human being. Yes, he under-

stands he's dealing with serious

health issues but he still wanted to

talk about others well being and

how they are doing. Folks, Darroll

is what I consider the Roy Rogers

type of individual. What I mean by

this, he wears the white hat, he is

one of the good guys. I didn't look

but I dare say there is not a black

hat in his closet. Everyone I talk to

has nothing but good things to say

about Darroll. It is not only in the

Wildwood area where he's from, it

is throughout the county. In talking

with Darroll, probably his best

friend is Jamie Adams, a former

Sheriff of Sumter County. They

both love hunting and have done a

lot of out of state hunting together.

Then there is Bobby and Derrick

Hall from Bushnell who told me

that Darroll was top of the line.

Then there is Jimmy West and

Keith Gwaltney from Wildwood

who say that Darroll is one of the

good ones. I could go on and on,

this is what this man means to the

community.

Before I go any further, I would

like to thank Keith Gwaltney, for

after seeing the article about Dar-

roll, he visited Darroll. Keith, I

want to tell you that meant so much

to Darroll, he talked about it often.

It brought a smile and tears of joy

to his face when he talked about

your visit. Whether it be me, and

believe me there were a lot of

smiles and tears of joy in the two

hours I spent with Darroll, or if it

is someone else that visits him – if

you bring one smile to that person's

face for one day it is very gratify-

ing.

Darroll was born in 1941 in a

house that sits just across the pas-

ture from where he lives now.

Growing up his mama and daddy

wouldn't let him play football or

any sports, as after school he had

to go home and work on his

When the Dixie Youth Majors

State Baseball Tournament begins

on Saturday, July 23, in East Lake-

land, Sumter County will be well

represented as both the Wildwood

and Bushnell squads will be in ac-

tion as both advanced to the tour-

nament as a result of coming out of

the District Tournament as the

number 2 and 3 seeds.

The District Tournament, held in

Ridge Manor, was a little easier run

for Bushnell. In the double elimi-

nation tournament, they won their

first three games before suffering a

defeat. Their tournament run went

as follows: defeated Wildwood 10-

7, San Antonio 17-6, Hernando 12-

3. They suffered their first defeat at

the hands of Spring Hill National

9-3. In a must win, they came back

and defeated Hernando 3-2. Going

into the final day of the tourna-

ment, July 2, and having to beat

Spring Hill National twice to win

the District, Bushnell fell short in

the first game with an 11-0 loss.

In the first two games of the tour-

nament, Bushnell had their power

hitting shoes on as they blasted a

total of 7 home runs. In the first

game win over Wildwood, Deon-

tae Grant and Chandler Lake led

the assault with one each. Against

San Antonio, the bats really alive

as they both blasted two each.

Gabriel Dorsey had the other as he

took one deep.

The game that mattered the most

for Bushnell at this stage of the

tournament was the Friday night

contest against Hernando. At the

time of the game, in the double

game. It turned out to be a gem, as

the outcome came down to the last

Hernando 12-3 earlier in the tour,

Happy 13th BirthdayTaigen Yoder

daddy's farm. Wildwood's coach at the time

was Joe Piggott. He saw this kid at school, 6

ft. and weighing 175 lbs. and wanted him to

play football. Darroll would be going into his

junior year in 1958, so in the summer of that

year Coach Piggott sat down with Darroll's

mama and daddy and convinced them to let

Darroll play football. Then a unique thing

happened, just prior to the start of football in

1958, Coach Piggott left Wildwood and took

a basketball coaching job in Orlando. So

Darroll never played for Coach Piggott, but

in stepped Byrd Whigham and we know the

success he had as coach of Wildwood.

Darroll played defensive end and full back.

The first time he ever touched the ball in a

game as a running back, he went 57 yards for

a touchdown. Guess who it was against – the

Bushnell Gators – I was a sophomore play-

ing in that game and I told Darroll he could

have left that out of the interview. We had a

good laugh about that.

Graduating in 1960, Darroll went to work

with relatives who were building contractors.

From 1960-1967 he worked with them and

went through the training experience. In

1967 he went on his own as a building con-

tractor. He also got involved in building cus-

tom built homes and in 1973 he had seven

homes going on at the same time. In fact, the

home he lives in now was one of the homes.

Darroll, you could say started Lake Miona,

and built it. There was a brother-in-law, Jack

Stafford, who built part of Lake Miona, but

he and Darroll weren't working together.

Darroll did most of the homes. In fact, I think

Jimmie Williams came on board for awhile,

but I do not know in what capacity.

During this time, Darroll also found time

to raise cattle and also farm. He grew water-

melons, cantaloupes and tomatoes yearly.

But, he never got away from his passion –

hunting – he tells me he got to know Jamie

Adams through a little alligator incident that

I won't go in to. From there, he and Jamie be-

came good friends and big hunting buddies.

He told me some stories about him and Jamie

hunting in Alabama, Idaho and Georgia. Dar-

roll has also hunted in Wyoming, Colorado

and Minnesota. This man loves his hunting.

Looking around his living room and a room

he calls his office, this man is a pretty good

hunter.

Darroll's love is the deer he brought back

from Minnesota. He has 4 does, 3 small

bucks and 2 baby does that he bottle feeds.

They are behind his house and they are

amazing. They are nothing but pets.

Darroll has two sons, Craig and Deon, with

Craig being the oldest. They both assist Dar-

roll and Craig and Darroll farmed together

up until 2006.

Folks, if you know, or you're a friend of,

Darroll Martin give him a call or stop by and

see him. In talking with him, I see he cares

about other people, let's show him we care

about him.

I would like to thank Darroll's wife, Joyce,

for allowing me to come into their home and

spend 2 hours with Darroll for the interview.

Darroll, you are my hero and I know you will

continue to fight. Folks, please keep Darroll

Martin in your prayers. Thank you. Darroll

SOAP UPDATES

Daniel Cosgrove stars as

"Scott" on "All My Children"

Early Floridians saw wetlands and

swamp areas as worthless and nearly

ten million acres of Florida’s swamps

and marshes were drained. Demand to

commercially develop the Green

Swamp began in the early ’70s as Walt

Disney World opened just to the east.

However, the state of Florida recog-

nized the hydrologic and environmen-

tal need to keep development under

control, so in 1974, the state desig-

nated approximately 322,000 acres of

Florida as an “Area of Critical State

Concern.”

Today the Green Swamp is widely

recognized as central Florida’s hydro-

logic “heart” and is protected because

of its ecological and hydrological im-

portance. This oasis consists of

560,000 acres of Florida backcountry

and includes portions of Polk, Lake,

Sumter, Hernando and Pasco counties.

Within these acres is a complex, inte-

grated and delicate natural system

composed of cypress swamps, hard-

wood forests, marshes, pine flatwoods

and sandhills. Emerging from this pre-

cious oasis are the Hillsborough, With-

lacoochee, Ocklawaha and Peace

rivers which provide much of central

Florida’s water supply.

There are several unique character-

istics of the Green Swamp that make

it ecologically very important to Cen-

tral Florida. Most importantly, the

Green Swamp has the ability to store

surface water. Additionally the Green

Swamp is a critical juncture for main-

taining the flow of water from the

Floridan Aquifer to major river sys-

tems in central Florida. The low-lying

and flat gradients of this area also

make it a substantial natural storage

area for floodwaters. The Green

Swamp is also important in terms of a

groundwater resource, and as an area

of recharge.

The Southwest Florida Water Man-

agement District (District) purchased

approximately 110,000 acres in the

Green Swamp to keep the land and

water resources protected for future

generations. The Green Swamp

Wilderness Preserve is an ideal loca-

tion for sschool groups to master bird-

ers to visit and explore some of central

Florida’s flora and fauna found in a

natural state that has had little modifi-

cation by man. The area contains a va-

riety of different habitat types with a

wide diversity of plant life.

To obtain detailed information

on how to explore the

preserve, please visit

http://www.swfwmd.state.fl.us/recre-

ation/areas/greenswamp.html. For ad-

ditional information, please contact

passed balls, Adams was on third

base. Nathan Eastburn then drove

a pitch in the gap to left field, scor-

ing Adams with the tying run.

Bushnell held Hernando in the top

of the sixth and came to bat in the

bottom of the inning needing a run

to win. Diego Arredondo opened

the inning by walking and his

speed really paid off as he

promptly stole second and third on

consecutive pitches. Lake then hit a

blooper just beyond second base

that the second baseman couldn't

get a handle on, allowing

Arredondo to score the winning

run.

Against Spring Hill National on

July 2, Bushnell went up against

probably the best pitcher in the

tournament. A tall lanky kid, that is

a lefty and throws a 74+ mile an

hour fast ball. With the loss, Bush-

nell was the District runner-up and

the number 2 seed going into the

state tournament. If you recall, last

year Bushnell went into the state

tournament as the number 2 seed

and came out on top and advanced

to the Dixie Youth World Series.

Talking with Head Coach Mike

Eastburn, he is comfortable with

his bracket pairing in the state tour-

nament. He said he was proud of

the way his kids performed during

the district tournament. In the first

game loss to Spring Hill National

he said they just made too many er-

rors and in the 11-0 loss they got

behind the eight ball and could re-

cover. But, he added, we will have

them ready for state. Eastburn said

he would like to thank his assistant

coaches, Mike Tadlock, Harry

Lake, Cinto Arredondo and Gabby

Dorsey for their time and dedica-

tion. Also, he said the fan support

has been great!

Wildwood's run in the district

tournament was a little different as

they had lost two games in the dou-

ble elimination tournament and

were on the outside looking in.

With Hernando stumping their toe

and losing to Bushnell on Friday

(giving them 2 losses) that created

a play-in game on Saturday be-

tween Hernando and Wildwood.

Prior to that game, Wildwood's run

in the district went as follows: they

lost their first game to Bushnell 10-

7, then reeled off 3 straight wins,

defeating Oak Griner 7-2, South

Lake 3-1 and Spring Hill National

14-4. They then lost to Spring Hill

American 8-4.

Wildwood's play-in game with

Hernando was quite a ball game. A

do or die type of ball game. Her-

nando took a 3-1 lead and going

into the top half of the 4th inning

had a 6-3 lead. Then for Wildwood

it became the Ty St. Amant show,

as he stepped to the plate with 2

runners aboard, found a pitch to his

liking and blasted it over the fence

for a 3-run homer tying the game.

They went on to score 2 more runs

and took an 8-6 lead. This brought

the Wildwood crowd alive (not to

say they were not in the game from

the beginning) but now they were

making a lot more noise. Hernando

was scrappy though and came back

in their half of the 4th and took a

10-8 lead. Wildwood was able to

muster 2 runs in the top of the fifth

inning to tie the game at 10. You

could tell there was no quit in the

Wildwood kids. The Wildwood

pitcher handcuffed Hernando in the

bottom of the fifth getting 3 con-

secutive outs. In the top of the

sixth, Wildwood came out smoking

– the first two batters reached base

on hits, throw in a couple of passed

balls, an error and three more hits

and Wildwood had put a big 6 on

the scoreboard to take a 16-10 lead.

Going into the bottom of the sixth

inning, Hernando's last gasp, as I

like to say, the Wildwood kids had

some pep in their step and Her-

nando went quietly and Wildwood

came away winners 16-10. Thus

securing them a spot in the state

tournament as the number 3 seed. I

need to mention, in the 5th and 6th

innings, Wildwood had some stel-

lar defensive plays. I offer my

apologies to the Wildwood crowd

as I could not locate who had the

score book and without a PA sys-

tem, I was not able to get names for

the article.

Going to interview Head Coach

Wendell Gill, I had to wait a few

moments as he was overcome with

emotions. He said he was so ex-

cited and proud of his team. He

said getting to state means so much

and he is so happy for his kids. He

said he would like to thank assis-

tant coaches Bo Skipper and Ken

Hurst. They are two of the best.

Coach Gill said he could not have

done it without Bo and Ken as they

are a big part of the team and mean

so much to the team. Also, the fans,

they've been with us throughout the

season and through district and he

would like to thank them for their

support.

As mentioned, the state tourna-

ment starts on Saturday, July 23, in

East Lakeland. Wildwood will

open in the morning session, play-

ing at 9 am against Wewahitchka.

Win or lose they will play again at

2 pm the same day.

Bushnell drew a bye and will not

open play until 4:30 pm on Satur-

day. They will play the winner of

Franklin County and Paxton. Win

or lose they will play on Sunday at

4:30 pm. The state tournament, un-

like the district tournament (which

took Sunday off) will play consec-

utive days until a winner is deter-

mined. The ultimate goal is

winning the tournament and ad-

vancing to the World Series. With

Wildwood and Bushnell in differ-

ent brackets, let's hope they meet in

the finals.

There will be two fundraisers for

both teams.

On Saturday, July 16, the teams

will play an exhibition game

against each other at the Kenny

Dixon Sports Complex in Bush-

nell. They will be selling chicken

and rice dinners. You have two

ways to purchase – you can pre-

order and pick up the dinners or

while attending the game you can

purchase a dinner.

Also, there is a 50-50 raffle for a

chance to win up to $1000. Tickets

are $10 per ticket.

For information contact Mike

Eastburn at 352-303-3108. I might

mention that Wal-Mart Murphy's

Oil has stepped in and become a

sponsor. Very much appreciated.

Go Sumter County!!

Lovett goin' back homeAs a sportswriter, you never

know what type of situations you're

going to run into or what kind of

questions you are going to be

asked. When you write an article,

some parts of the article are going

to be opinionated (at least mine

are). That is where you get the

agreeables and disagreeables. You

take a sportswriter that doesn't have

a sports background or never

played the game and his/her articles

will never be opinionated. All of

you know that is not the case with

me. Those of you who really know

me, know that sports is my life and

that I played them all. Therefore,

my articles are going to have parts

or areas where I will be giving you

my opinion.

Let me say, I like The Villages.

What they have done there is in-

credible. Personally, I do a lot of

shopping in The Villages. They

have everything you want, from

some very fine restaurants to offer-

ing entertainment at several places

every night of the week and they

bring in some very good entertain-

ers. I have met some really fine

people that live in The Villages.

Who knows, maybe one day I will

move to the area, park my car and

get me a golf cart.

Now what transpired with me two

weeks ago with a individual, I

would like to share with you. I've

thought about this over and over

and wondered if I should make this

into an article. Then I thought about

the good ole boys and gals in

Sumter County who have roots

here from generation to generation

and decided I would make it an ar-

ticle. Hopefully, you will agree

with me.

I spend a lot of time in the Wild-

wood area so I do a lot of my shop-

ping in the Wal-Mart on CR 466 in

Oxford. While shopping there re-

cently a lady came up to me and

asked was I the guy writing the

sports articles for the Sumter Ex-

press. I told her I was. She said that

she goes to the library in The Vil-

lages every week and gets a paper

and has been reading my articles, as

she is a big sports fan and stays ac-

tive in sports in The Villages.

Then she hit me with her state-

ment – she said I was always men-

tioning Wildwood and South

Sumter for county braggin' rights

and ash asked if I was aware that

there were three high schools in the

county. She let me know that she

was a big supporter of the Buffalo

(the mascot for The Villages Char-

ter High School) and that she at-

tends all their games.

I said ma'am, let me explain.

Wildwood and South Sumter have

been playing football against each

other since 1959 and if you read my

article two weeks ago you know

that Bushnell and Wildwood started

playing each other in 1924. Also,

we had Webster that started playing

years ago. You have kids playing on

both Wildwood and South Sumter

that their great-grandfathers and

uncles played for. The roots have

been set and they go from genera-

tion to generation. Also, I reminded

her that South Sumter and The Vil-

lages do not play each other in foot-

ball. Also, the Sumter Express has

no full time writers and it is hard to

cover everything.

After my explanation, she some-

what understood. We said have a

good day and started to part, then in

respect to Peter Falk (Columbo)

who just passed away, I did my

Columbo impersonation and said

ma'am, there is one more thing. I

respect and appreciate you support-

ing The Villages football team, as

being a sports nut like I am, that

makes me feel good. What I want

you to do on Friday night, Sept. 2

is drive down 301 and take in the

Wildwood-South Sumter game. I

want you to watch and listen to

both stands, filled with fans and

watch the intensity of the game,

then you will know what I'm talk-

ing about. She looked at me and

said, “You know, you have got my

curiosity up, I just might do that.”

Hopefully, after reading this arti-

cle, you see where I'm coming

from. I'm just one of many of the

ole Sumter County boys. I remem-

ber when I was a young man, I ran

Leesburg hard and the Leesburg

kids referred to Sumter County

boys as “Hog County boys” or

“plow pushers.” I grew up in the

'40s-'50s and early '60s and those of

you that grew up in that era know

that we looked at Leesburg as being

the big city.

Now, I'm going to take you on a

journey. A segment I call “Goin'

Back Home.” You see, living in

Sumter County back in those days

you didn't have the luxury that big

cities had. You didn't go to the store

and get a package of pre flavored

Kool-Aid. No, you took a glass of

water and added sugar for sweet

water, that was your Kool-Aid –

y'all know what I'm talkin' about.

Come on, let's go back home. Oh,

you had the big ole colored console

TV sitting in the living room but it

didn't work, you had on top of the

console a 15 inch black and white

TV – y'all know what I'm talkin'

about – come on, let's go back

home. In the winter, you had one

heater in the living room to heat the

whole house. You got up to go to

school, you went and stood by the

heater to get dressed – y'all know

what I'm talkin' about – come on,

let's go back home. You get home

from school and you ask your

mama for a sandwich, she gives

you 2 slices of bread with Mayon-

naise (a Mayonnaise sandwich) –

y'all know what I'm talkin' about –

come on, let's go back home. You

didn't have an eight piece fried

chicken back then, cause your

mama cut the chicken back into 4

sections to give her 12 pieces on the

platter – y'all know what I'm talkin'

about – come on, let's go back

home.

Folks, I can't help it, I'm just one

of them ole Hog County boys and

wouldn't be anything else. Those of

you that grew up here in that era

and were there, y'all know what I'm

talkin' about!

Have a safe and enjoyable week

and I will catch you on the flip-side.

Stay tuned, it only gets better!

Fishing Report, news and tourna-

ment results for week ending July

3, 2011

Report by Donna and

Steve Lind

Anglers on Lake Panasoffkee:

292, Anglers Bass Fishing:194,

Bass caught:305, Bass Re-

leased:291, Pan Fish Caught:598

Fishing Report: Tyler Cain and

Jacob Filer caught some nice

Bluegill and Shellcrackers.

Chris Fern (who is looking to be

drafted to play major league base-

ball) was out fishing with some

guests staying at Tracy's Point and

caught some nice Shellcrackers,

they are on the beds. By the way,

Mr. Fern is a Pitcher and throws a

95 mph fast ball!

Lemar Miller and Lodge owner

Steve Lind caught some nice size

Bass last Thursday in front of Big

Jones Creek They were both using

10 inch June Bug worms.

John & Robert Steale were out

fishing for the day and caught a

mess of Bluegill. They found a bed

and just kept on catching them.

Jim Terranoski was nice to stop

on his way out of the lake and let

us get a picture of him and the Bass

that he caught.

The fishing this past week has

been incredible. I can tell you first

hand that there are some major

Shellcracker beds on the lake right

now. Several right in the middle of

the lake.

On June 28, I spent the first half

of the day beginning at 5:00 a.m.

filming a documentary of Lake

Panasoffkee which will be of Na-

tional Geographic quality. The ac-

tion began at the crack of dawn

directly in front of Tracy’s Point

when Brad Baranowski, a member

of North Tampa Bassmasters,

hooked up with a 3 ½ pound bass.

I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve

as I can’t wait to see the final ed-

ited film which, by the way, is due

for presentation to the Tourist De-

velopment Council on Thursday,

July 7, 2011.

The company doing the filming

and documentary is Tampa based

CCM, Inc. and I selected them for

this project based on their broad

experience and my hands on work-

ing experience with them, (in par-

ticular their CEO, Don Cayo) over

a period of 25 years. Some of their

clients include The Tampa Bay

Lightning, the Tampa Bay Bucca-

neers, Bright house Networks, The

Florida Gators (Hopefully you see

my point).

While it was somewhat of an

overcast day, the lake was like

glass and thus the water clarity was

perfect for filming. After filming

the bass our mission was to locate

either Blue Gill or Shellcrackers.

Shellcrackers it was. Within min-

utes we located a bed like I’ve

never seen before. It had to be the

size of a pickup truck full of shells

and Shellcrackers. My job was to

oversee Mr. Cayo and Mr. Bara-

nowski as they were doing some

underwater filming of panfish with

Mr. B doing the catching and Mr.

C. doing the underwater filming. If

we were fishing we would have

caught our limit for sure.

As part of our documentary we

did some filming of all of the fish-

ing lodges on the lake starting with

Idlewild Lodge, PanaVista Lodge,

Tracy’s Point, Werdahecamiat and

Turtleback Lodge.

You’re probably wondering why

I am telling you all of this. As a

member of the Tourist Develop-

ment council, I am proposing that

the County host a bass tournament

in the first quarter of next year and

the documentary will be used to

promote the County and the tour-

nament and “lure” fishermen and

their families into Sumter County

along with their wallets. More on

this later, but I hope to have some

still shots of our film within the

next week which I will share with

you. In any event I am having a

great time working on this project

and hope it will be well received.

I realize it is hot outside, but if

you can handle the heat, head out

ad catch some nice bass and pan

fish – the bite is on!!

Good luck and good fishin!

BIBLE TRIVIAby Wilson Casey

White gold, that is. The saltwater

Easter egg hunt is what we locals

call “scalloping”. Why is it so pop-

ular? Think about it. Its good fun, a

nice way to cool off, beat the sum-

mer heat and something the whole

family can enjoy. And oh yes, the

best part, preparing and eating em!

They are some of the finest eating

morsels in the sea. Which, I’ll

share a recipe with ya in a minute.

There are really only 3 major

good areas left in the whole state of

Florida for harvesting these bi-

valve mollusks. Port St. Joe area up

in the panhandle. Steinhatchee,

Keaton area in the Big Bend, and

our Citrus County Scallop grounds,

the Crystal River, Homosassa area.

There was a time when most of

Florida enjoyed Scallop harvesting.

I believe one of the main reasons it

doesn’t now is because of the

coastal growth, development and

population in other areas of the

state which unfortunately brings

with it, less habitat and sometimes

lesser water quality. Scallops must

have good water quality and grass

beds to populate, grow, and thrive,

and these few areas still have these

features that are vital to these tasty

filter feeders.

The preliminary reports are very

good. My clients on our trips have

been getting their limits. So it

should make for good collections

this season.

Recreational harvesters are lim-

ited to 2 gallons of whole bay scal-

lops in the shell, or 1 pint of scallop

meat per person, per day. In addi-

tion, no more than 10 gallons of

whole scallops or ½ gallon of

meats may be possessed aboard

any vessel at any time.

We don’t supply equipment just

like other charter services because

there’s way too many size varia-

tions on masks and especially flip-

pers. You can easily purchase a set

or some marinas have rentals. We

do however; supply the mesh bags

for collecting.

Immediately upon returning to

the boat with your catch we have a

cooler waiting with plenty of ice to

put the scallops in. The ice helps in

relaxing the muscle and opening

the shell upon cleaning.

Trips are $50 per person, $200

minimum. We can accommodate

up to 6.

Now, being a Florida Cracker,

this is one of my favorite and easi-

est, (I like easy) recipes, Fried

Scallops!

Prepare an egg wash by beating

one egg in ½ cup milk.

Season wash to personal prefer-

ence with salt and pepper. I like

“Everglades Heat”, or “Old Bay”.

Dip Scallop meats in egg wash,

then coat with any prepared

seafood breading, like “Zatarains”

or “Uncle Buck’s”.

Fry quickly (1-2 minutes) in hot

grease (375 degrees). Don’t over-

cook!

Drain on paper towels.

Add some cheese grits and hush-

puppies, and………. call me when

it’s ready!

So give me a holler and come

enjoy one of the Nature Coast’s ex-

clusive opportunities this summer.

Inspirational Word Let the church manage your money

Articles of 300 words or less for theInspirational Word column can besubmitted by any Sumter CountyPastor. This space allows local pas-tors to share their thoughts and en-couraging messages with theSumter Community at no charge.Articles can be emailed to RoseDavis at [email protected] ormail them to the Sumter Express atP.O. Box 944, Lake Panasoffkee, Fl33538. All articles for this sectionare the opinion of the writer.

So often the comment has been

made that “all the church and

preachers want is my money!” It is

true that churches are dependent

on the faithfulness of God’s people

to His word in order to accomplish

the mission mandate of the Bible

which is “Go ye into all the world,

and preach the Gospel to every

creature.” (Mark 16:15) Then we

have these words in Romans

10:14, 15 “14. How then shall they

call on Him in whom they have not

believed? And how shall they be-

lieve in Him of whom they have

not heard? And how shall they

hear without a preacher? 15. And

how shall they preach unless they

are sent?”

Consider this: Some tax analysts

estimate that many taxpayers

spend 32 to 40 percent of their in-

come on taxes, either through di-

rect or indirect taxation. We have

no choice in the paying of our

taxes and no promise of any real

return on them and year after year

they are increased for what is sup-

pose to be our better good.

Now consider this: God ask His

faithful people to willingly bring

the tithe, 10 percent into His store-

house and in return He will open

the windows of heaven and pour

out blessings and He will rebuke

the devour (that which destroys

what you have) for your sake. In

the lifetime of God’s word this per-

centage has never gone up no mat-

ter how much the cost of living has

gone up and yet the church, God’s

institution continues to do great

exploits. So when you consider

your return on your willful invest-

ment and your forced investment

don’t you think the church does a

better job?
