Gordonsburg/Little Swan News

Summer appears to be upon us as the temperature reaches close to ninety degrees some days, we also had a thunderstorm on Saturday evening with fierce lightening and wind with rain. The rain was much needed, and we also got more rain on Sunday evening. I was glad that it did not rain during the homecoming at Palestine Cemetery. We had a good turnout and a good donation thanks to all who came and hopefully others that were not able to make it will send donations to the Regions Bank for the Palestine fund.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Terry Anderson, Kay Baxter, Carson Bennett, Connie Bonner, L C Bowen, Amy Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Bailey Cromwell, Buffy Farnsworth, Calvin Harris, Cruz Henderson, Labri Kendricks, Martha Hensley, Lyda Mae Hooper, Shirley Howe, Monette King, Colben Ly, Raquel Mallari, Brittany Mash, Linda Mercer, Mike McCann, Howard Miller, Jackie McFall, Norene O’Kelly, Betty Odom, Donna Owen, Pam Pullman, Colene Rasbury, Mona Runions, Tyler Seiber, Roy Sharp, Joe Ship, Vickie Skelton, Nell Skelton, Howard Tripp, Jim Walker, Diane White, Sharon White, and Annette Williams. Please pray for these in your daily prayers that they might be better and for any others that need prayers.

We wish a happy birthday to Taylor Berg, Myra Massey and Jonathan Owen the 28th, Rodney Odom the 29th, Darrin Garner and Diane Lomax on June 1st, and to Tammy Williams the 3rd. Wishing for these a very happy birthday and many more to celebrate life.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week that I know of Dennis R. Keitzman, Danny Lee Manoss, Wayne Joseph Bridge, Roderick Paul Fountain, James A. Chandler, Kari Beth Galey Pitts, Jerold Welch Adair, James Willey “J. W.” Curry, James Thomas Mullins, Mary Ann Bates, and Inez Collins Scott. Prayers for all these families and any others about which we may not know.

The children are now out of school for the summer and are looking for things to do, the public library has programs during the summer a couple of times a week for children. These are very good programs, and the children really enjoy them so if you have time take your children to some or all of these.

Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend and remember all those who are serving or have served to keep our nation free. There will be a parade on Monday to celebrate all those who have served and are serving from this area.

Many in the area are cutting hay currently and the weather had been really good but with the rain lately it is hard to get the hay up and in the dry. There are also many in the area who have gardens and they are beginning to produce, and the rain is good for them. I guess it takes all kind of weather to help with all the different things that people do.

Praying for you and your family to have a great week and days to come, hopefully you will be blessed with good health and happiness.
