Frances Easterling moved from her house on Oakley Wells road this week. She is moving to North Carolina to be near some family members. The house will soon be occupied by William and Elsie Hunter. We hope everyone is happy with their change in locations.
Union City Ruritan will meet Monday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m. Since there is no regular meeting in December, this will be the last meeting of 2009. It will be good for all members to be present as we plan for the new year.
Did anyone hear gun fire at the home of William Haden Harris last Saturday? Nothing criminal or bloody was happening. Men from Union City Christian Church gathered at noon for a steak dinner and then spent the afternoon shooting at clay pigeons.
Health insurance is a big topic these days. If you do not have insurance or know someone without insurance, you will be interested in this meeting.

On a personal note, I had the privilege of speaking for the homecoming service at my home church, River Drive Christian, in Irvine last Sunday. An added bonus was music that day by the Diggles Family from Lexington. They were kind enough to allow me to play violin with them on one song. We had a great time of fellowship and remembering 49 years of the church’s history.
Thanks to Johnny Bowen of Richmond who taught Sunday school and preached at Flatwoods in my absence.
Happy Birthday this week to Chuck VanWinkle, Friday; Donald Wells, Sunday; Daniel Wells and Millard Middleton, Monday; Frenus Masters and Eva Curry, Nov. 19.

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. -

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 -
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.
