Hello everyone. I was glad to see that Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church was conducting a Sunday afternoon service. The parking lot of the 1875 white wood frame building was full. Cars were parked in the grass to the front and back of the church. The function of the church still holds its own. The services are always special, because they are not done on a regular Sunday schedule. As I drove by, I thought of an afternoon delight with such a crowd for such a grand church.

Sunday will be a Mother’s Day celebration for the churches. The Kirksville Baptist Church will have a Mother’s Day breakfast. The men will be serving the mothers at 8:30 a.m. The men will be bringing breakfast foods, and helping to cook as well. I hope the cleanup will be by the men as well.

The Kirksville Baptist Church also will be having a baby dedication service on Mother’s Day. That will make this day even more special. Please let the pastor know if you are interested.

The Full Gospel Tabernacle will be having its Mother’s Day meal at 6 p.m. Saturday. The youth group will be cooking and serving those deserving mothers. The meal will consist of ham, green beans, mashed potatoes and a good desert.

The men of the Full Gospel Tabernacle will be doing cleanup in the fence line Saturday morning at 8:30. The members have really jumped in to make great improvements around the church. It takes a lot of work to keep up a church. The enthusiasm of the people is abounding at the church.

Susie’s Roundhill Store kicked off its barbecue cookout this past Sunday. The grill was fired up and the smell flowed throughout the Roundhill community. The next cookout will be May 18. Because it is every other Sunday, you will have to turn your nose toward the store to make sure that you don’t miss out.

There is another painted quilt block hanging now in our community. It is on Billy and Jackie Golden’s storage building at Roundhill. It is the American star. It was designed and painted by Ronnie Tussey.

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.

Volunteers needed for Union City Boy Scouts meeting 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.

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.
