Hi!

It is so difficult to believe that October is nearly at an end. Of course, we’ve already had winter — that was last week!

Also last week, the Waco Volunteer Firefighters had a busy Wednesday. After putting on a fire safety program for the students at Waco Elementary, the firefighters responded to two calls, one at Greens Circle where they found a possible electrical short in a mobile home, then to a call at Estonia Estates which turned out to be a “controlled burn” creating lots of smoke.

If you’re not already booked, don’t forget the Pumpkin Run this Saturday at 9 a.m. Memorial Battlefield. Waco Elementary needs your help in having the most participants to win “big bucks!”

More goings on at Waco Elementary. Next week is the Fall Book Fair. Be sure to bring the family to the school on Tuesday around 6 p.m. for Family Night. There’s always a surprise “special guest” on hand, so, see you there!

Thursday at 6:30 p.m., Flatwoods Christian Church will present preview of the Financial Peace University program by Dave Ramsey. This is a free class offered to anyone in driving distance directed by Kentucky River Foothills. Also on Thursday at 7 p.m., anyone who plays instruments is invited to come to Flatwoods Church for a pickin’ and grinnin’ session.

Emily Madison Edwards had a lot going on at her house on Sunday. She turned three years old and, of course, had a family party to help her celebrate! Emily is the daughter of Bill and Monica Edwards, and is the sister of Will, of Shirdell Drive.

Happy birthday wishes go out to Calvin Marshall, Oct. 26, and to Caleb Henderson, Oct. 24.

Chandler Brandenburg, mom, dad and sister Jessica spent last weekend on a pirate ship. Well, sort of. For one of his birthday gifts, Chandler received a night’s stay in the pirate ship-themed room at Wildwood Inn in Florence, Ky. The family had a great time and barely left the room there was so much to do and explore!

The Brandenburgs were not the only visitors up Florence way. The flu is making its rounds among family members up north — Mamaw Betty Anglin, sister Judy and (her husband) Dave Taylor were all feeling the effects. Hope you’re feeling better this week!

Deepest sympathies are extended to the family of Ann Richardson who passed away last week. To Don and the rest of the family, may it help you to know you are in the thoughts and prayers of your many friends and neighbors at this time.

That’s about it for this week. Watch out for the rain to return this weekend. Have a great one!

Happy are they who finish what they start
Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.

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
