WARRIORS GIRLS AND BOYS TEAMS WIN RED ROCK CONFERENCE MEET

By Student Reporter, Allie Paulzine The MCC/F Warriors cross country team had an incredibly successful week. On Monday October 17th the Warriors competed at the Red Rock Conference Meet in Fulda. Many runners on the team had never competed in Fulda and they were excited to compete on a new course. They quickly learned that Fulda’s course is somewhat similar to the Slayton Gold Course with it’s abundance of hills. The weather added to the difficulty of the course being 29 degrees and pretty windy but the Warriors persevered and brought home two Red Rock Conference Champion Titles.

GOOD NEWS

By John Stenen There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of people in India who have it as their supreme desire in life to be filled with demons. When filled, they believe their life will be immune to attack or harm from the evil forces. Yes, they do believe in a good God as well as reincarnation and many other gods also; but since the other ‘gods’ do not harm them, they do not worship them. I read once that there is in the neighborhood of 300,000 gods worshiped in India.
