Gordonsburg/Little Swan News

Another thunderstorm last night brought lots of rain, the creeks were up and ditches washed clean. We have had a couple of days with temperatures in the low eighties and nights in the sixties so this is more like summer so maybe it will not be cold again.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Joyce Barnes, Larry Bates, Colene Beasley, Elizabeth Boggs, Pete Bradford, Dorothy Carroll, Gertie Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Spencer Clark, Peggy Cook, Pat Dickson, Callie Garrison, Abby Gray, Ophelia Green, Carolyn Hargrave, Calvin Harris, Shirley Howe, Monette King, Claire Elizabeth Mayberry, Doug Miller, Howard Miller, Jackie McFall, Carla Murphy, Lonnie Odom, Joy Orman, Debbie Pierce, Sandra Pogue, Mike Runions, Russell Runions, T R Runions, Boyce Sims, Peggy Sims, Johnnie Faye Skelton, Terry Stutts, Diane Williams, and Annette Williams. Remember these in your daily prayers that they might be better and for any others that need prayers.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week. These are the ones I know about David Curtis Brewer, Mary Lee Powers, Linda aye Fowlkes, Tabatha Ann Orton and Margaret Beverly Perscittello.. Prayers for all these families and any others about which we may not know.

The school year has less than two weeks before most of the young people will be home or at least not at school for the summer months, many are excited at this thought, but some say they will miss their friends. We send congratulations to all those who will finish on phase of their education and begin another adventure in some other educational direction or maybe enter the work field.

For those of you who have family buried at Palestine Cemetery in Lewis County we will be having homecoming on May 28th at 2pm. Please make plans to attend or at least to get your donation to someone or to Regions Bank for the cemetery. It takes all of us working together to keep the cemetery in good condition and for those of you who visit regularly you know that some of the graves and stones need some work on them, the ground has sunk around some of them, and the stones are in danger of falling. Many have parents, grandparents and great grandparents buried there and it takes support from everyone to keep the cemetery in the condition we like it to be seen.

Praying for your family to have a great week and that it might be filled with happiness and good health.
