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.

Common-sense job hunting
I spent a day with a high-powered and high-profile friend who mentioned that he has more than 700 people a year ask him to help get a new job.
He’s not in the employment business, but is super well connected.
Every now and then, he gets the right person to the right job. -
It’s a love thing
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” — Romans 8:35-39

Managing the calving season
Providing sound management during the calving season can mean more live calves.
Excessive losses can mean the difference between a year’s profit or loss for a beef producer.

Spinach: It’s not just for Popeye anymore
A spinach-loving reader recently approached me to request a column on things to do with her favorite vegetable.
“Favorite vegetable?” You may ask, and rightly so.
When many of us were growing up …and we’re talking Baby Boomers here, the only spinach product known to us was the stuff that came in a can, and it was, in a word, horrible! -

Hi!

Where is the snow? Students are starting to do snow dances, hoping they can coax enough snow to fall so they can make a proper snowman.
