The kingdom of God would prevail over the kingdoms of the earth. The Mormon people were the salt of the earth. As Rigdon wound down, he was out of breath, like an exhausted athlete. Athousand tear-filled eyes were glued on him, almost .mesmerized .mes-merized with the power of his message. Yes, they were God's chosen people, the salt of the earth. No one was thinking about fried chicken or ice cream, stick pulling, or of the upcoming events except Port, about the only Mormon around who never got very excited about anying Rigdon said. Port had something else on his mind, the upcoming horse race to determine the fastest animal in Caldwell County. Rumors were circulating that the black stallion Joseph had brought from Kirtland could beat any horse west of the Mississippi, even Rockwell's big bay, Bill. Following Fol-lowing a lot of talk and speculation, the time of reckoning was less than an hour away. After Rigdon's sermon the festive fes-tive mood quickly returned, and soon a large crowd was gathering on both sides of the finish line at the end of a half-mile straight away. Early in the day five horses had been scheduled to run in what was happily being called the Moroni sweepstakes. Someone had sug AFH names Vern Ebert Oct.

But no matter how busy he is, Ebert always seems to have a smile and a pleasant greet-ingready greet-ingready for anyone who passes by. Nine of his fellow workers nominated Ebert for the Employee of the Month honor.

The name stuck. By race time three of the five animals had withdrawn. No one from Kirtland wanted to run against Joseph. None of the Missouri Mis-souri Mormons thought they had a chance against Bill. And since the entry fee was a whole dollar, with all the money going to the winner, only two animals were left to compete. The differences between the two hor ses were substantial, not only in appearance, but disposition, too. Joseph's tall black was prancing sideways in anticipation the race, already in a sweat, its head high, tail outstretched. The reins were tight, requiring almost all the , strength in Joseph's strong arm to hold it at a walk. On the other hand, the shorter, ; stockier Bill, was walking calmly down the road, plenty of slack in the reins, his neck relaxed, ears forward, almost like he was enjoying enjoy-ing the scenery. Port had never had a horse that remained so calm before be-fore a race, but he was sure Bill knew a race was about to begin. Though Port thought the horse's calm manner odd, the young Mormon was not worried. Bill was a seasoned performer. When they turned to begin the race, Bill would be ready, he would give it everything every-thing he had. Vern Ebert also shoots a mean camera. His photography talent is known and appreciated by many. Ebert has a special talent for shooting scenery, and has won awards in several photography contests including the Steel Days contest in American Fork, and the Utah Valley Photographers Club competition. In quiet ways, Ebert takes very little for himself, and gives much to others. Recently, he joined Dr. Dale Greenwood, Dr. Jerry Martin, and a troop of American Fork scouts in Mexico where he helped to build a medical clinic for the Tarahumara Indians. Ebert was born in Oregon and then moved to American Fork when he was in sixth grade. He has been an AFH employee since 1983 and has worked in both the housekeeping house-keeping and dietary departments. When Ebert is not working or taking pictures, he enjoys boating, water skiing, and camping -- and he dreams of returning to Oregon some day.

Port asked as he and Joseph approached ap-proached the starting line. "Boggs," Joseph said, grinning. "After the governor?" "Of course," Joseph responded. "He has a hard mouth. When I jerk on the reins I always wish I could do the same thing to Boggs." Both men laughed. Joseph was dressed like a president presi-dent in a long black coat and top hat. Port wore home spun trousers and a clean wool shirt. Upon turning to face the finish line, Joseph and Port nodded simultaneously si-multaneously at each other an d the race was on, eight steel-shod hooves thundering powerfully towards to-wards the finish line, churning up a longbillowing cloud of brown July dust. Port was aware he was in no ordinary horse race. He was racing against the prophet of God in front of all the prophet's followers. Perhaps Per-haps he should let Joseph win. But Port was also aware of Bill, the formerly quiet gelding, now gone mad, streaking towards the finish line, every muscle exploding and contracting in perfect harmony har-mony nose outstretched, ears flat against the head, hooves pounding solidly, in perfect rhythm. Bill didn't know who Joseph Smith was, nor did he want to know. God himself could have been on the rangy black, and Bill wouldn'thave cared. Winning the race was the only thing that mattered, nothing else. Port made no tttempt to hold his horse back. Bill won, but only by half a length. "Is the bay for sale," Joseph asked as he and Port slowed their horses to a walk, turning back towards the cheering crowd at the finish line. "He's not for sale," Port said, out of breath . "But if you want him , he's yours." "You keep him," Joseph grinned, suddenly galloping ahead to greet his friends.

As Port watched he noticed that none of the shooters could hit the bottles with any degree of consistency. He felt the urge to show off his newly learned skills with a pistol, but held back. None of the Mormons had any idea what Port had learned from Sylvester Pussy, and Port wasn't sure he wanted them to know, not yet. He wasn't sure why he felt this way, only that the feeling was more than his normal shyness before groups and gatherings. , To the Mormons around him he was a displaced ferryman who was trying to start a farm. He was pretty much ignored, left alone. He wasn't sure he wanted to give up his anonymity, at least not yet. If the Mormons knew how well he could shoot, he might be called upon to do things he was not yet ready to do. Port knew he must wait for the right time to put a gun in his hand. When that would be he didn't know, only that it was not now. He also knew that when if and when he engaged in a confrontation, he would have a definite advantage if his opponent perceived him as a displaced ferryman instead of a polished gun hand. There was no sense throwing away such an advantage ad-vantage in a bottle-shooting contest. con-test. When one of the men invited Port to join in the fun, he politely refused.

The Missourians who discussed dis-cussed the sermon all came to the same conclusion: If the Mormons were going to rule the world, they sure as Hell were not going to do it from Missouri. It was time for the Mormons to be driven from their promised land.

The reality is that "things" don't take care of themselves - others step in and do many of the things you want done. It may seem as if putting things off is no problem, but crises develop when others are no longer willing to step in. This can make you angry; you notice your dependency on others and the lack of control you have in your life. Most people would rather stay in this pattern and continue to be dependent than have to take control of their lives. In therapy, we encourage patients to deal with things before this pattern creates crises so unmanageable that they destroy important relationships. The danger in this pattern of procrastination is that it seems easy initially to have things take care of themselves. The early problems seem small, and few see their control of life slipping away. It becomes too easy to blame others and not fully understand your role in the crises. Successful treatment includes learning to identify those things that are important to you and working toward achieving goals on your own rather than through the efforts of others. |
