Ellen shares that some
real changes have been
made through the years.
For example, she said,
"You can't take any more
Brownies in a car than
you have seat belts for.
They've really improved

Mary Ellen is a member

Presbyterian Women's

Gardening is another
favorite activity. 'TVhen I
worked, I gardened at
night til late--now I can
garden during the
daylight," she said, with
obvious satisfaction. "I
don't know that I would
make a career person,"
the busy mother said.
I enjoy cake decorat-

She decorated her first
cake last summer for a
sister's wedding. "I've
entered cakes at the food

Last year I did an angel

and best of class," she
said proudly. "this year I

A Contracts and
Grants Specialist at OSU,
Lisa Thompson prefers
the smaller community
and school that Perkins
offers over the Oklahoma
City area where she once
lived.
An 11-year.old
daughter, Brandi, was a
deciding factor in her,
choice. "I wanted to keep
her in a relatively small
rehool where she'd have
enough attention educa-
tion wise and athletic
wise," the young mother
said. As a part time stu-
dent, Lisa is studying
Business Education with
a minor in Physical
Education.
Familiar with this area,
having livei] near Carney
on a family farm, and hav-
ing been a student in the
Perkins school system,
Lisa has had no real dif-
ficulty making Perkins
her home. Her mother,
Liz Beeson, is a Perkins
resident, as well as a
brother, Paul Price.
At OSU since April of
1978, Lisa previously
worked as a Senior Ac-
counting Clerk. She en-

Isaiah directly ap-
proaches the topic of fear,
when he records the
testimony of the unchang-
ing God who calls and
guides the destinies of the
generations of the na-
tions. "Fear not; there is
nothing to fear for I am,
with you; do not look
around you in terror and
be dismayed, for I am
your God, I will
strengthen and harden
you to difficulties; yes, I
will help you; yes, I will
hold you up and retain
you with My victorious
right hand of rightness
and justice." (Is. 41:10)
The Apostle Paul could
speak well of the victory
attained through trust
and releasing anxiety to
and guard you from the
evil one." (2 Thess. 3:3)
Christ himself instructs
us from the Sermon on
the Mount, '"So do not
worry or be anxious about
tomorrow, for tomorrow
will have worries and anx-
ieties of its own. Suffi-
cient," he said, '~or each
day is its own trouble."
The beloved Peter, who
surely understood the real
conquest of self will and
the need of leaning into
the Lord, speaks of a God
who cares affectionately.
'~asting the whole of
your care--all your anx-
ieties, all your worries, all
your concerns, once and
for all--on Him; for He"
cares for you affectionate-
ly, and cares about you
watchfully." (1 Peter 5:7)

Sharing extends into
her family relationships
as well, Mary Ellen says.
"Working together, talk-
ing things over, discuss-
flag the situations instead
of closing each other
out--" are ways her fami-
ly stays close knit and
strong. A lot of changes
in society have affected
the family structure she
feels. 'Too 're more wor-
ried about where--most
parents are more worried
about where their kids are
at and who they're with,"
she said. "Society isn't
trusting. There's more
violence. I think TV has
something to do with it,"
she said.
After watching the
television series Adam,
she says her children are
more aware and no longer
want to leave her side at
department stores and
anxiety about anything, restaurants. She sees the
