The weather is like all Tennessee weather very unpredictable, one day is warm and the next will be cool to cold and sometimes with rain showers also. I guess you could say we are into fall and the winter weather is accompanied it. Hope you had a good Halloween weekend and was able to enjoy some of the activities in the area with your family.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Connie Bonner, L C Bowen, Timmy Bennett, Bobby Carroll, Dorothy Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Madison Chappell, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Robert Dickson will have knee replacement after the first of the year, Colleen Farr, Wilburn Franks, Callie Garrison, , Malcolm George, Ophelia Green, Calvin Harris, Alice Hinson, Shirley Howe, Leon Hunter, Monette King, Bruce Ligon, Sherry Love, Claire Elizabeth Mayberry, Linda Mercer, Helen McCann, Mike McCann, Howard Miller, Jackie McFall, Lonnie Odom, Pam Pullman, Hattie Roberts, Mona Runions, Russell Runions, Vera Runions, Roy Sharp, Joe Ship, Vickie Skelton, Jim Walker, Sharon White, Diane Williams, and Annette Williams. Remember these in your daily prayers that they might be better and for any others that need prayers.

We wish a happy birthday Russell Runions and Chasney Chappell the 6th, Jesse Eastep, Linda Clayton, Nancy Taylor and Betty Carroll the 7th, and Emily Clayton the 13th, to Garrett Reeves the 10th. Wishing for these a very happy birthday and many more years to celebrate life.

Happy anniversary to Burton and Retha Graham November 11th, wishing for them many more years to celebrate life together.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week that I know of David Charles Roberts, Martha June Potter, Regina Lynn Roberts, Darrel Anthony O’Guin, Larry Hendrix “Pa” Skelton and Barbara Joyce Dorton. Prayers for all these families and any others about which we may not know.

Wishing for you and your family many days filled with happiness and health, remember those who are shut-in and sick at home and visit if you can and if not call or send them a card to let them know you are thinking about them. Sometimes we do not realize how lonely it is to be shut-in at home, nursing home or even the hospital many times these have very few visitors especially if they are not from a large family. Anything that you can do will help them to feel better and also let them know that our care.

Remember that time changes this weekend and you will get an extra hour of sleep so don’t forget to set your clocks or you might be early for whatever it is that you plan to do.

Make plans to vote in the upcoming election that is the only way you have a say in what goes on in our nation and even them sometimes we don’t have much influence; but vote and set a good example for those younger who may not think that it is important.
