The MCC Rebels were on the road for a busy day of softball on Wednesday, May 17. The Rebels went to Jackson to play in the JCC Softball tournament that was originally scheduled to be played a week ago Saturday but was postponed due to rain. So, the Rebels would play the games on Wednesday instead. It turned into one of the warmer days of the spring, even more so, when you are playing three days. The tournament also started a stretch for the Rebels of five games in three days.

The MCC Rebels were looking to bounce back from last week’s difficult week by beating the TMB Panthers just four days after being ten run ruled by them.

With a win, the Rebels would advance to the doubleelimination portion of the playoffs with a loss the Rebels season would be over.

The MCC track teams concluded their regular season playing host to the Red Rock Conference meet on May 18th.

Just Down the Road I heard a questioned asked by someone, and it made me think. They asked, “Let’s say there’s a person in a far away country who never had an opportunity to hear about Jesus? Will that person still get to heaven?” We’ve perhaps all heard this asked before, but the thoughts that entered my mind were different this time.

By John Stenen The man was an ungodly reprobate, foul-mouthed, and he spent lots of time cursing God. He was a lost, miserable man without hope. He had signed onto the ship for another long voyage and as he climbed up the gangplank carrying his large seabag, another sailor jostled him and he fell into the water between the wharf and the ship. His last words just before going under were a horrible curse to the man who bumped him.

By Arnold Krusemark This weekend will include our annual Memorial Day, also known as Decoration Day, when we decorate (and visit) the cemeteries of our departed relations and friends. There is usually a cemetery service too which has changed over the years. Due to rain, one time, it had to be relocated to the school auditorium in Slayton at the last minute.
