'SHOULD HE SERVE' POLL HAS ENDED - 80/20 - A MESSAGE FROM JOSH BARD

(64804/64801) -- Josh Bard received 80% positive on our poll yesterday. He writes a note to Joplin News First readers:

"The amount of support is absolutely heartwarming! In church today at CCUMC. Sloan spoke of the story about David and Goliath. It was exactly the story I needed to hear at this very moment in my life.

This verse is a perfect reminder of what we have before us. Ephesians 4: 29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 

We have an opportunity to step and make the change we desire as a community. I may get bad news this week. But I will not be defeated. I still have the opportunity if there was a mistake made, and come back stronger than before.

Your support, kind words and generosity have given me a huge amount of faith in our community. Our Police and Fire Departments are counting on us!!" - Josh Bard
