If you drove through Union City since Sunday evening, you will notice a pile of rubble where the old Masonic Lodge has stood for many years. It was torn down Sunday evening and now there are trucks and dumpsters on site for clean up. The space will be used for parking at the Ruritan Building and other community activities.
The gospel quartet HIS Own will be opening the concert by the Nelons at Big Hill Christian Church, Goggins Lane, tonight at 7 p.m. The Nelons are a nationally known Southern Gospel Trio based in Dallas, Ga. This should be a great night of gospel music.
With Veterans Day coming up next week, here is good story that recently developed. Slick Conner of Union City and Daniel Lowder of North Carolina had worked side by side in the U.S. Army during the war in Korea. In October of 1954, the two parted company and lost contact when they left Korea.
In the past year, the Conners located the Lowders and last Thursday, the two saw each other for the first time in 55 years. Slick and his wife Rosa met Daniel and his wife Betty for a reunion dinner at Cracker Barrel on Thursday evening. They certainly had a lot of catching up to do as they reminisced Army days in the 25th Infantry Division. The Lowders drove from Mint Hill, N.C. to spend two days in Richmond reviving the Army friendship.
Many of you will be interested in this event. Madison County Right to Life will have a Candidates Night on Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. at Church on the Rock, Berea Road near Berea. Guest speakers will be Dr. Alan Keyes and Robert Heft. Other participants on the program are Andy Barr, Bill Johnson, Matt Lockett and David Adams. There is no admission charge but a free will offering will be taken. For more information, call Debbie Secchio at 623-7198.
Happy belated birthday wishes to Cody Lamb in October, Madyson Oliver on Oct. 28 and Brandyn Oliver on Nov. 3.
Happy Birthday this week to Sue Allen, Friday; Charm Todd and Christa Lynn Murphy, Saturday; Shayne Lewis and Logan Ray Cochran, Monday; Jimmy Allen, Tuesday and Harold Harris, next Thursday.

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. -

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 -
It’s tough to be old
I was just thinking the other day about how tough it is to be old. We seniors have so many things to contend with. One of the first things is our memory, or perhaps I should say our lack of memory. I’ve often thought it is easier for us to remember things that happened to us when we were kids than to remember what we had for lunch yesterday. Names are hard to recall. It is embarrassing to meet someone who is familiar and we are certain we should know them, but simply cannot remember their name. In a conversation with a friend, to talk about a former friend but neither of you are able to recall their name.

McCreary’s second term
Between the end of Madison countian James B. McCreary’s first term in 1879 and the beginning of his second term in 1911, a lot happened in Kentucky.
Democrats continued to dominates state politics, as they did Madison County politics. But, the Republicans did break through to take control of the state government once or twice. Of course, that depends on how you interpret the whole, now-infamous Taylor-Goebel affair. -
