Hello everyone.
The June 27 fish fry at the Full Gospel Tabernacle went over great. They estimated that over 500 people got fed. The Boy Scout Group 762, with assistant leader Allan Horn, helped put up the huge tent and set up the tables and chairs. Allan said that they parked over 100 cars. The Boy Scouts and Allan said that they were worn out, but they were glad to be able to help. Don’t forget if any boys are interested in joining in the Boy Scouts, stop by the church on Friday at 6 p.m. with your questions.
I noticed that there has recently been more clean up, from the tornado. Helen Estes’ home has been all removed now. I hear that there are plans to rebuild. I know that this has been an ordeal for her and her family. The old Coy house is gone and tree clean up in the yard also has begun. There were such large trees in that yard. It is no telling how old they were. Everything still seems so different.
Well, we have had a few days of dry weather. The farmers are working in warp speed. Hay is being rolled everywhere. The large fields look so nice after the ground is cut. I know we will be wanting more rain to come in, so that the newly cut grass will make a fall cutting. I guess we are not ever satisfied.
I had to get in the garden the other day with my rototiller. Rototillng is a big job in itself, but if your rototiller won’t start easy, you are working yourself even harder. If you hit a big rock in the garden, you can plan on the rototiller quitting. With couple of cranks you get it going again to finish up your job and that makes it a good piece of equipment. And trust me, it is a job when you have a lot of weeds and a big garden. Thanks a lot, Dad.
The Kirksville Baptist Church senior adults will be going to the Bread of Life Café in Liberty for lunch. They will leave the church at 10 a.m. If you plan to go, please tell Betty Tudor so reservations can be made.
The Full Gospel Tabernacle will be having a singing on July 26 at 6 p.m. with the group called Crossways. You can hear them on the radio. They have a song out called 70 x’s 7. Put this on your schedule for a great night of music.

Is MSG (monosodium glutamate) harmful?
Monsodium gluatamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer often added to Chinese food, soups, processed meats and canned vegetables. The use of MSG remains controversial despite a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) statement that it is safe. Because of this, the FDA requires that whenever MSG is added, that it be listed on the label.

Common-sense job hunting
I spent a day with a high-powered and high-profile friend who mentioned that he has more than 700 people a year ask him to help get a new job.
He’s not in the employment business, but is super well connected.
Every now and then, he gets the right person to the right job. -
It’s a love thing
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” — Romans 8:35-39

Managing the calving season
Providing sound management during the calving season can mean more live calves.
Excessive losses can mean the difference between a year’s profit or loss for a beef producer.
It is important to have a short calving period to allow frequent observation and assistance if needed. -
Spinach: It’s not just for Popeye anymore
A spinach-loving reader recently approached me to request a column on things to do with her favorite vegetable.
“Favorite vegetable?” You may ask, and rightly so.
When many of us were growing up …and we’re talking Baby Boomers here, the only spinach product known to us was the stuff that came in a can, and it was, in a word, horrible! -
Topping trees is a bad practice
Topping damages hundreds of trees each year in Kentucky.
Many people are unaware of the detrimental effects of this practice.
Topping involves the drastic removal or cutting back of large branches in mature trees leaving stubs.
Topping can make a tree hazardous and reduce its life. -

Preschool screenings and birthday surprises
Hi!
... and the wind blew and blew. Perhaps this is the windy season!
Where is the snow? Students are starting to do snow dances, hoping they can coax enough snow to fall so they can make a proper snowman.
(I'm sure they hope it will fall on a weekend so they won’t have to miss school! lol) - More Lifestyles & Community Headlines
