World Blood Donor Day is June 14
SPECIAL TO THE
CHRONICLE
The American Red
Cross seeks eligible donors
to give blood in honor of
World Blood Donor Day,
June 14, and throughout the
summer to help ensure a
sufficient blood supply for
patients in need.
Summer is an especial
ly difficult time to collect
enough blood to meet the
needs of hospital patients.
Many schools that host
blood drives are out of ses
sion during the summer,
and regular donors are
often vacationing, poten
tially making them less
available to give.
World Blood Donor
Day highlights the constant
need for donors - during
the summer and throughout
the year.
Supermodel Niki
Taylor, the celebrity
spokesperson for World
Blood Donor Day, fully
understands the importance
of blood donations. In
2001, she was in a near
fatal car accident and
received about 100 pints of
blood. To this day, she
attributes her survival to
the blood donors and doc
tors who helped save her
life.
Those who come to
donate blood with the Red
Cross Monday through
Sunday, June 8-14, will
receive a limited-edition
Nexcare give bandage in
one of eight global-inspired
designs in honor of World
Blood Donor Day.
Eligible donors are
encouraged to choose their
day to make a difference.
Donors of all blood types -
especially those with types
O negative, A negative and
B negative - are needed.
To make an appoint
ment to give blood, down
load the Red Cross Blood
Donor App, visit redcross
blood.org or call 1-800

from page B4
Lesson: Amos declares to Judah that
their sins are catching up with them. They
have rejected The Law due to their wor
ship of false gods. God will send fire to
Jerusalem (Judah's capital) that will
destroy their military might. That prophe
cy will be fulfilled in 586 BC. Traveling to
Israel, the prophet delivers a similar mes
sage. Their sins are numerous as well. In
verses 6-8, he names a few of them. He
calls out the judges, the creditors, and the
rich who pervert justice. In verses 7-8,
most scholars interpret this as temple pros
titution. Some commentaries excluded
verses 9-16. Israel is consumed with greed
and selfishness. The prophet reminds them
of God's previous actions on their behalf.
The prophets and the Nazirite are gifts to
them to care for their spiritual needs. What
do they do? They silence the prophets and
treat the Nazirites badly. No matter their
strength and power, God's judgment is
coming and they have no defense! In 722
BC Israel will fall to the Assyrians.
Life's Application: We are exactly
like Israel in the north and Judah in the
south. They do what they want, knowing ?
that it is wrong and expect God to continue
to bless them. Unfortunately, some of us
think that having our names on the church
roll gives us "one up man ship" over oth
ers. God has a standard that believers are to
live by - no exceptions! Is God pleased
with our behaviors and attitudes? Examine
the man in the mirror. Does greed and self
ishness call the shots? We will delve into
our answers as the quarter progresses.
Don't be fooled. His judgment will come
to us one day just like it came to Israel and
Judah.
