Union City Baptist Church had a total of 60 people for the community soup supper last Saturday night. There were pinto beans, several different kinds of chili and some great desserts. While people were eating, some youths from the church provided a puppet show.

This may seem like the minutes of the last Monday’s Union City Ruritan meeting, but I am pleased to have so much news from local activities. The March meeting began with a presentation by Mike Whitaker who was accompanied by Mike Sexton. Whitaker explained the purpose and actions of the Patriot Guard Riders who believe in supporting the troops and have found some ways to do it. These men ride motor cycles and carry flags at funerals of military people when invited by the families. They also participate in “welcome home” events and “send off” rallies for military. The organization has 750 members in Kentucky with about 100 active members. More information is available on the Web site: www.patriotguard.org.

Club president, David Thurman, expressed appreciation to Mary Louise Sewell and Brenda Parke, who represented the Union City Homemakers. He called attention to the work done during the electric outage in early February when hundreds of meals were served to members of the community. Then the ladies presented the club with some needed kitchen items, including a large iron skillet and a boxed set of cookware.

Don Kidd was accepted as a new Ruritan member. Union City Road cleanup has been set for 8 a.m. Saturday, April 4. Club members and anyone in the community may help with this effort. The club will have a Relay for Life team and Marty Sewell is leading that project. Madison County Relay for Life is scheduled for June 19.

Donald Rhodus announced he is helping the local boy scouts build bluebird houses and volunteers are needed at next Tuesday’s scout meeting at 6 p.m. Contact Don at 369-5465.

The Ruritan Club sponsored a blood collection Tuesday and 22 pints were donated.

Union City Homemakers are making a cookbook. It will be available on Union City Day, May 16. If anyone wants to contribute recipes, send them to: Mary Sewell, 2854 Doylesville Road, Richmond, KY 40475. The deadline to turn in recipes is April 15.

Ruritan members are beginning to sell $5 raffle tickets for some great prizes. First place is a 32-inch flat screen TV, second is a camcorder, third is a digital camera and five $10 cash prizes. The drawing will be on Union City Day. If you want to buy tickets, call Billy Wall at 623-5049.

If you want to get with others to play some country and gospel music, bring your guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bass guitar, banjo or other instrument to Flatwoods Christian Church Fellowship Hall at 7 tonight. The church is located on College Hill Road at Waco. This gathering is open to everyone. For more information, call 314-5146.

Happy anniversary wishes go out to Rodney and Brenda Rose next Thursday, March 26.

Happy Birthday to Tina Hunter, Tyler Combs and Alisa Allen on Friday, Howard Estes on Saturday, Tim Jones on Sunday, Toots Wells on Monday, David Clark and Amanda Eades on Tuesday and Patrick Short on Thursday.

If you have news, call me at 623-3880 or e-mail drtech@roadrunner.com.

Waco Pentecostal Tabernacle fundraiser Saturday Hi!

Here we are in fall again!

How do so many leaves fall off a tree and get scattered in so many different directions in one day?

How many more leaves are still on the tree that will turn and fall and be scattered in the days to come?

It almost makes one want to wait until all the leaves are off the tree before picking up a rake or broom. That might be better than raking and sweeping each day for many, many days to come.

Roadside clean-up set for Saturday How is everyone’s week going? I hope that everyone is having a great one. We have once again had a little mixture of weather, cool, rain, warm and sunshine. One can never tell what the March weather will be. Have you noticed the buttercups blooming? I also saw some bushes and trees blooming. I even saw a redbud tree blooming! There is such beauty in spring as it comes to life.

Take care of your community: Don’t litter! Hello readers. The late evening sun is shining through an upstairs window from where I’m sitting and I notice the brilliance of an outer ring that seems to flow toward the creek as it (sun) begins the journey into the night. I do love to just look and enjoy all we have on this Earth to appreciate. It’s always the little things that seem to make up the circle of life. Like the bright yellow daffodils blooming in Mrs. Callahan’s yard and the many buttercups alongside the road — the little things.

Waco Elementary honors Dr. Seuss How many times did you get pinched on Tuesday for not wearing green? How many times did you pinch yourself on Tuesday because you wanted to make sure you weren’t dreaming when the whole day was so spring-like beautiful? Ahhh, the birds chirping, the green finally peeping through the winter-brown ground, buttercups showing off their new spring bonnets and daylight after supper to enjoy a little porch time — it is getting here!

D-fend Against Colds Move over vitamin C. It’s vitamin D that seems to provide the strongest defense against the common cold, according to a recent study. Researchers at the University of Colorado studied 19,000 people about their health habits and took blood samples to determine the frequency of respiratory problems.

Killing Kevin I don’t watch much television. There are only a few shows I follow. I’ve come to care about the characters in those programs. They’re like family. So naturally it upsets me when homicidal scriptwriters kill them off. Without provocation — or my permission.

One of my favorite shows is “Monk,” about an obsessive, compulsive detective. Several episodes have featured his upstairs neighbor, Kevin Dorfman. Kevin is riddled with personality quirks. He talks too much — about nothing. He rambles on about all the places he’s ever lived.

God’s rainbow a sign of an everlasting relationship God’s promise of a rainbow in the clouds indicating a permanent and unbreakable bond between God and the creatures of His world is a strong and assuring promise that lies at the very foundation of Christianity. We are told throughout the scriptures that nothing can separate us from God, not even our own sinfulness. In all of life, there are few feelings, needs and insecurities that are more totally and completely fulfilled than when we have a firm and unquestionable conviction that we are not alone, and are wanted and loved! Amen.
