The Guilty Party?
One of the most confused human
emotions is a little goody called guilt.
It's continually misused, abused, and
misrepresented Guilt has a widely
perceived reputation as a bad thing.
Not so. Guilt is natural, normal, and
even helpful .If properly utilized.
We tend tfc lump human' emotions
into categories. On one hand there
are good feelings like happiness, love. ;
and contentment. On the other falls
anger, hurt. fear, and yes, guilt. Tak
ing a good-bad stance with emotions
is a bit off-base. None of your emo- 4
tions are bad. They all serve a wor
thwhile purpose in the form of
teaching, encouraging, motivating,
or the like. What you do with your
feelings may. in fact, be bad, but your
feelings can't be categorized as such
Take guilt for example. When we
feel guilty, this is our mind's way of
keeping us in line and helping us to
avoid repeating mistakes or stepping
into unhealthy territory. Guilt is
there to guide the way.
Guilt can be easily misused, some
of us regard it as a weapon with
which to beat ourselves or others. It's
also used as a tool for keeping people
under control. Many be the mother
who has disciplined little Johnny with
a dose of guilt. Finally, guilt is fre
quently seen as a kind of pen ta nee we
must pay for being bad. I sinned, now
I must bow to the east 100 times and
feel a deep burden of guilt for 10
years All are common, but inap
propriate translations of guilt.
Guilt is designed to teach you. not
punish you. If you mess up. listen to
your guilt, and learn from it Guilt
does not ask that we wallow with it, or
embrace it for all we're worth. Guilt's
a gentle teacher who seeks to go on
it's way once a lesson is truly learned
Take care to resist the efforts of
others to hand you a load of guilt.
There are a large number of self
appointed diciples out there trying to
make us pay for our sins, that's not
their job. it's God's, and he's not
much into punishing folks anyway
He. too seems more focused on
teaching us than hurting us
So look to that occasion*! feeling of
guilt as a friend who's there to help If
it's there too much, then you're either
not living as you feel you should, or
you've been taught to hold on to guilt.
Either way. it s tinT ?
Life is hard without i
of this emotion and <
?f we carry it m a Inn b.. load

Funding Of Councils

man James T. Ledford called on the
General Assembly to fund the state's
18 regional councils of government
last week in a speech presented dur
ing the Land of the Sky Regional
Council's annual dinner.
Ledford was recently re-elected as
chairman of the four-county council.
Citing cutbacks in federal assistance,
Ledford said, "We need the regional
councils more than ever as a better
way of dealing with federal and state
agencies and for the common good of
the people."
He said he hoped the legislature
would appropriate $2 million to fund
the 18 councils.
Ledford said that North Carolina is
the only southern state which does not
provide funding for regional councils
The Region B Council receives 74 per
cent Of its funds from the federal
government and 21 percent from
county governments. The remaining
five percent comes from state funds
and private contributions.

tt can be pretty disturbing the first time you realize that
your baby really isn't yours at all ? that you do not possess
him. Yet the sooner you do realize iL the better, We can't
possess another person no matter howdearly we love them
And in the case of our children, we are custodians, not owners.
You take him for a walk around the block and people stop
you to say, "What a beautiful baby!"
You try to be modest about it, but your heart is bursting
with pride. He is the most beautiful baby ? and ? he's yours1
Or is he?
Start going to church this Sunday. Chances are that
they've even got a nursery for beautiful babies!
He is a beautiful baby ? and you, naturally, want nothing
more than for him to grow up into a fine young man. It is your
responsibility, in the years ahead, to help him do so ? and you
will find the strength and guidance to aid you in your task in your
church.
