Hello from Baldwin,

How is everyone’s week going? I hope that everyone is having a great one. Well, it’s been pretty hot this week. As I sit and write my article this Wednesday morning, it is giving rain and storms for today and the next few days. Maybe it will cool things off. I just hope the storms are not severe.

Happy birthday wishes go out next week to Gary Wayne Sanders and Abigail Schwab, Sunday; Jackson Wininger, Monday; Hannah Susie Perkins, Jo-Lynn Dargavell, and Amanda Burns, Tuesday; Ronnie Howe, Wednesday; Amy Burrus, Lori Winter and a very special young lady celebrating her sixth birthday, Miss Emma Ruth Farthing, Thursday; Brayden Ross Riddell, Friday; and William Earl Foster, Saturday. I hope that you all have very happy birthdays and many more happy ones to come.

Happy anniversary wishes go out next week to my dear friends, Alonzo and Ellen Harvey, Sunday; Happy 51st anniversary to you. Happy anniversary also to Homer and Margaret Curry, Tuesday; and my dear friends, Johnny and Betty Collins will be celebrating their 33rd anniversary, Friday. I hope that you all have very happy anniversaries and many more happy ones to come.

I’ve been seeing a lot of farm work going on this week here in Baldwin. There is a lot of gardening going on in the neighborhood. I’ve seen some beautiful gardens.

Speaking of gardens, the Madison County Farmers Market is getting off to a slow start this year, the many early rains that we had put everything behind in planting, which makes everything late in harvesting. You must remember that the Madison County Farmers Market is 100 percent locally grown; nothing is bought and brought in. Some farmers are going and setting up on Saturdays now. My sisters, Isbell and Smith Farm Fresh Produce will be there this Saturday with some fresh vegetables. Stop by and see what the farmers have this Saturday, we hope to see you there.

Well, I guess that’s all for now. Let me know if you hear any news. Just give me a call at 623-4579 or

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.

A mothers love will always be there. Even when everyone else stops to rest, her love for her family continues. She is always working, carring and sharing what she has with her children, even if she has to do without for herself.

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.

Is 401(k) good for America?
Internal Revenue Code section 401(k) is the only section of the US tax code that average people can cite.
They know it has something to do with whether or not they can retire with dignity. Or retire at all.

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
