Thieves vandalize Paint Lick property during holiday weekend

Hello readers.

We’ve had a great week, huh? The air was just right and no rain for a whole six days and then, the rains came ... but not before I finished tilling the cucumbers in our garden.

I have just one row of beautiful green plants that are loaded with blooms! Some blooms are dropping because of all of the previous wet weather and the plants are so fragile. But, that’s good. The sun is shining bright and early every morning and the air has cooled, making the mornings a soothing time for sleep.

A former resident of Paint Lick, Ms. Sandra Bingham, stopped by our place on Monday and brought her puppy to so we could see how big she’d grown. Molly the puppy was born in Paint Lick and it was really good to see that she was being cared for so well. Thank you, Sandra. It was good to see you again, too. I hope you can come and bring your family to the Paint Lick Sportsman’s Club Barbecue on July 25. It looks like we’ll have a big day and some nice weather for everyone to get together.

For more details, watch the paper.

It seems that over the holiday weekend, someone —or more than one person — took the chance to vandalize property in the Paint Lick area. The Sportsman’s Club and Paint Lick Church of God were only two of the places that were broken into and downright meanness and some sloppy work went into every effort made for what I would call “someone with nothing else better to do.” It’s sad that these efforts cannot be put to work for the betterment of this community, but there’s some in all the crowds. I heard too, that some property on Short Road was taken. If anyone has any information on this act of thievery, please contact the sheriff of Garrard County.

I would like to say “thanks” to Christine Sebastian and Delphine Byrd at the Garrard County Library for their time with the children in the reading program at Paint Lick Christian Church. They were only given four days with the children this year, but every day was a hit for all who came. I hope to see you on July 15.

I’ve had some questions on where and when the Alexander Reunion will be conducted in August, but as of this writing, no plans have been made. I will do what I can to let everyone know through my column.

May God Bless

Looking at various things
During my eight years away from home (Richmond and Madison County) the post office tower was a beacon welcoming me home.
Today, the the stone edifice completed in the 1892 as a post office and federal courthouse is the Madison Hall of Justice.

Things are different than when we were young
I was just thinking the other day about how confused we seniors are most of the time. Things are so different than when we were young. We find it hard to understand much of what we are confronted with.
Some things like this happen to us frequently. We begin a conversation with, “In my day.” We look so old we are followed around by archeologists. We tell our kids that old age causes us to become wiser and they tell us, “Then you must be a genius.” We no longer look forward to a wild evening out, but look forward to a dull evening in.

We are heirs and joint-heirs to His kingdom
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. — Rom 8:14-19

How little exercise is necessary for good health?
How little exercise is necessary for good health?
That question was the subject of a recent investigation by a team of exercise scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and the answer seems to be a lot less than we might think, as long as we’re willing to put in the effort.

Start planting your hot weather vegetables now

Hopefully, the unusual spate of unseasonably warm weather we had earlier this spring did not fool you, and you’ve been patiently waiting to get your hot weather veggies, such as tomatoes and peppers, into your summer vegetable garden.

Now is a good time to start planting these delectable goodies.

Rethinking the benefits of crunches
I’ve been doing crunches all my adult life and it may be one of the reasons I have back problems. Research from the University of Waterloo in Ontario has found that repeated bending of the spine, such as occurs when doing crunches, can contribute over time to damage of spinal discs. The results are presented — along with a lot of other useful information — in the book, “Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance” by Stuart McGill.

He is there when you need Him
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. — Psalm 139:7-10
