Hello readers, what a change to our weather! Our temperatures seem to be jumping up and down with Saturday night in the very low 20s and very cold when I woke on Sunday morning, but warming a lot as the day passed. I did some yard work, and something is strange when I see more that needs to be done, especially at this time of year.
Christmas is coming! And in this Paint Lick village on Saturday, you can come into the Friends building and warm for some coffee, hot chocolate and cookies. Mrs. Carrie Tuttle of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church will be reading the Christmas story to the children beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Then just across the hall, the children and even the adults can enjoy our Christmas crafts with the ladies of Mt. Tabor Church. We have plans to keep Santa in the Firehouse until everyone is through and Old St. Nick should be out and about at 11 to 11:30 am.
After all the festivities, a drawing for the beautiful raffle items will be conducted. Come and share in the morning as we all celebrate the Christmas we know and love so well ... just being together as friends.
By the way, you still have time to get your tickets in the can at First Southern Bank for that nice chainsaw. I am in the running to win that one myself.
A day of fun and fellowship was enjoyed by the descendants of Ebb and Mary Lamb, who gathered on Sunday, Sept. 27 for their annual reunion at the home of Pauline Denny on the Old Railroad in Paint Lick. Those attending were Ralph and Joyce Reams, Ray Ross, Cecil and Sally Lamb, Whitney, Rachel, J.T. and Justin Parson, Melvin Begley, Ralph and Darlene Begley, Thomas and Judy Begley, Nicole Begley, Jennifer, Courtney and Jacqueline Cox, Lewis Lamb, Rose Croteau, Donna Lamb, Rickie Gibson, Danny Gibson, Pauline Denny and Jay and Sherry Banick.
My prayers, this evening and every evening are for Dr. Jim Cox of Richmond. Jim is a member of the Paint Lick Christian Church and we all love him dearly.
May God bless.

Is MSG (monosodium glutamate) harmful?
Monsodium gluatamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer often added to Chinese food, soups, processed meats and canned vegetables. The use of MSG remains controversial despite a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) statement that it is safe. Because of this, the FDA requires that whenever MSG is added, that it be listed on the label.

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.
It is important to have a short calving period to allow frequent observation and assistance if needed. -
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! -

Preschool screenings and birthday surprises
Hi!
... and the wind blew and blew. Perhaps this is the windy season!
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.
(I'm sure they hope it will fall on a weekend so they won’t have to miss school! lol) - More Lifestyles & Community Headlines
