Kerr's Korner
Gold Medals
By John Kerr
The Olympics start Friday in Paris, France. More than 10,000 athletes will compete this year. The Summer Olympics this year will feature 329 events across 32 sports. Over 1,000 gold, silver and bronze medals will be given out this year. Olympic gold medals are required to be made from at least 92.5% silver, and must contain a minimum of 6 grams of gold. A gold medal is worth a little less than $800. If a violation is discovered medals can be, and often have been, revoked.
Many of these athletes dedicate their lives to the sport, and they do it for a medal that will one day be destroyed. Paul puts things into perspective I Corinthians 9:25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
I think about the passages that have the phrase “make every effort” as we go into strict training for our crown that will last forever. Here are a few:
Romans 14: 19Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
Ephesians 4: 3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Hebrews 4: 11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.
Hebrews 12: 14Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
II Peter 1: 5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Kerry's Kar Tips
A weekly auto tip from our resident expert!
Having cleaned up many cars for our used car lot, we feel proud when our vehicles are glistening in the sun.
To me, a car is only clean if the tires are clean, too. Over the years, I've learned a few tricks to make that easier. One of those is using Westley's Tire Cleaner. Spray Westley's on the dry tire, let it set while you prep your car wash bucket, scrub with a brush, and rinse as you spray the rest of the car for washing.
When you're at the car wash, here's a time-saving tip: spray your tires with Westleys before you leave. The car wash will then effortlessly blast the grime off, leaving your tires sparkling clean without any extra effort on your part.
If you like, you can buy different tire dressings at Auto Supply to make the tire shine or a richer black.
