Horton Veteran with PTSD tells how good God is in book SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE A veteran from Winston-Salem has written a book describing his tough life and how God has seen him through it. George S. Horton says that as he began taking a serious inventory of his life and his many blessings, it became obvious to him just how good God had been to him throughout his journey. He realized that he had a testimony to impart and wanted to find a meaning ful way to share it. He offers his testimony in a book, "Crossroads In Life." "Crossroads In Life" recounts the author's expe riences from childhood to adulthood as he faces the everyday challenges of growing up African American during the early years of desegregation, serves in the Vietnam War, and returns home with the added burden of PTSD (post-traumatic stress dis order). The beginning of the book details one of the author's earliest memories of riding a bus by himself as a 3- or 4-year-old, shipped off by his mother to live with relatives in another state. The remain der of the story demon strates how he did not let this difficult beginning per manently cloud his future. "Crossroads In Life" was published on Dec. 2, 2015, by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. The book is available on amazon.com and createspace.com. E book versions are also available for Kindle Notebooks. Book signings have been held recently in Winston-Salem and the author's hometown of Lenoir. Horton is a Master Mason with Salem Lodge #139. He is an active member of VFW Post #9010. He is an active member of New Bethel Baptist Church, where he sings on the Communion Singers' Choir and is a member of the Laymen's League.

Goler Metropolitan's Health Ministry wins award Special to the chronicle _ The Goler Metropolitan AM.E. Zion Church was recently awarded a Gold Certificate from the Partners in Health and Wholeness of the N.C. Council of Churches for its outstanding efforts in promoting a healthier congre gation. Among the many collective efforts for which it was recognized, the church has actively observed and distrib uted information about "Immunization Awareness Month" in August, the "Alzheimer's Awareness Breakfast" in October, "Diabetes Awareness Month" in November, and "Tribute to AIDS" in December. Among the greatest of these initiatives began in 2013, when Goler received an Automated Electronic Defibrillator from Blue Cross/Blue Shield and the North See Award on B6 A Wedding in Cana itino Iioiiollll Lesson Scripture: John 2:1-12 By the end of this les son, we will ?See God at work in the earthly life of the Lord Jesus and those around Him. ?Understand that God works in our lives in every detail and circum stance. ?Strive for obedience to God's word that will allow us to be aware of whatever He is doing in our life. Background: Weddings were very important social events in biblical times. Scripture and history tell us that wedding feasts lasted seven days (remember Jacob, Leah and Rachel). The hosts were responsible for food and drink to last throughout the event. During that period of history because of a lack of water purification and avail k auiiiiy, wiuci vraa uauoii/ mixed with wine as the acceptable beverage (2-3 parts water and 1 part wine). It was the job of the master of the banquet to make sure the wine was properly diluted. He or she would also manage the wine consumption to prevent anyone from becoming drunk. Customarily the best wine was served at the begin ning of the feast with a cheaper or more diluted wine served at the end. Failure to offer accept able or proper hospitality to guests was an offense that would be remembered for years. Lesson: Jesus, His mother, and His disciples were invited to a wedding in Cana. The custom of that time was to invite as many guests as possible. This was a huge deal. See Lesson on Bt C t Elder Richard Wayne Wood Sunday School Lesson ?
