Practice safe winter driving

Hello readers. We all had a very Merry Christmas right here in Paint Lick this past Saturday when the first snowfall of the early winter season fell overnight and filled our day with wonderment.

We volunteers here at the Friends building were overjoyed with the outpouring of guests who came to hear the Christmas story, told wonderfully by Carrie Tuttle of the Mt. Tabor Baptist Church. Mrs. Delta Lamb, Colleen Moore and probably “the mommy helpers” were on hand to do Christmas crafts while a large group downstairs enjoyed the Christmas cookies, coffee and hot chocolate at our Christmas in the Village.

After everything was over at the building, Santa came “honking the big horn” on the Cartersville and Paint Lick fire truck and the ladies and gentlemen at the firehouse were a godsend. I cannot put into words the many thanks I have for all the volunteers who helped at this Christmas celebration. While there were so many here, I can only hope that you will read this as I say, Mrs. Dean Cornett would have been so proud of you all. This community pulling together was one of her continuing prayers.

It’s Monday night as I write to you and the snow has gone, but I hear that before this night is through, we’ll see more snow showers and I pray that everyone will practice safe driving as they hurry and shop for the season ahead.

I do want to wish a very happy anniversary (Dec. 7) to Tom and Coy Burnam, whom I hope will look over my forgetfulness, and also to Ced and Ellen Hagan who have an anniversary today (Dec. 10). Then next Tuesday on Dec. 15, I cannot forget Jannie, the special lady who entered my life nearly four years ago and taught me how to appreciate everything that I had neglected for so long. Jannie Garlic will celebrate her birthday on that day. Happy, happy day, Jannie. I miss you.

Also, from all of us at Friends, a big hug and special wishes for Ramey Taylor who we all miss in Paint Lick. Ramey, it wasn’t the same celebration without your family at our Christmas in the Village and we really miss the singing. Come see us soon.

I will close with a special prayer for my friend Dr. Jim Cox of Richmond. I know God holds you in his hand ... so you are most blessed.

May God bless you all.

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)
