I guess ol’man Winter has finally made the appearance we were all dreading, temperatures have dipped into the low twenties in some areas and probably has caused some water problems for those who the winterizing has not been done to the outside area. I really was not ready for this and especially the drastic change in the temperature. Hopefully this has not had an adverse effect on you and your family. Cars and other modes of transportation also have to be winterized so if you have not done please attend to that.

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, William Carroll, Madison Chappell, Spencer Clark, Fada Clay, Robert Dickson, Jerry Edwards, 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, Rocco Pierce, 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. Several of Monica Dupont’s family has had the flu and unable to be out, we hope they are better and will soon be recovered.

We wish a happy birthday Brad Brown and Leon Reeves the 20th,Karley Webb, Weston King, Simon Carroll and Kara Beth Carroll the 23rd, Damien Clayton, Vickie Clayton, and Wesley Haigh the 24th . Wishing for these a very happy birthday and many more years to celebrate life.

Happy anniversary to Tommy and Jennifer Tiller on November 20th and to Darrell and Diana Runions the 21st, we wish for these couples many more happy years to celebrate life together.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week that I know of Sara Ric Ogden, Branton Jasper Sharp, Diann Lawson O’Quin, Shirley Ann Talley King, Willie Ralph Hickerson and Linda Faye Weems-Smith. Prayers for all these families and any others about which we may not know.

There is a marquee along Highway 412 which says “You can get richer by getting more or by wanting less” and this is pretty true. This seems to be very clear and true.

It will be Thanksgiving next week and many will be traveling to visit relatives so hope everyone has a safe trip there and back home and don’t forget to thank God for all he has given us and the freedoms we have. The children will also have a three day vacation not including the weekend, know they will love that.

Prayers for all families to be blessed with happiness and good health through the coming season and into the new year as well.
