Gordonsburg/Little Swan News

We have been having good weather for the farmers cutting and baling hay, it has been dry and hot most days and the nights have been in the sixties which is good ball game weather. There is lots of ball games going on with practice for Allstars and awards ceremonies for all the Dixie league ball teams. This is a great program for all young boys and girls who love softball or baseball, and soccer also gives them things to do.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Joyce Barnes, Kenley Bates, Colene Beasley, Lois Bennett, Gertie Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Spencer Clark, Peggy Cook, Pat Dickson, Callie Garrison, Ophelia Green, Carolyn Hargrave, Calvin Harris, Shirley Howe, Monette King, Claire Elizabeth Mayberry, Ronnie Lewis, Doug Miller, Howard Miller, Jackie McFall, Thomas Marrow, Carla Murphy, Beverly Sue Novogurski, Lonnie Odom, Joy Orman, Roger Pace, Debbie Pierce, Mike Runions, Russell Runions, Johnnie Faye Skelton, Terry Stutts, Jeff Tatum, 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 to Marlene Holt the 7th, Susan Pennington the 9th, Lonnie Bates the 13th, Peggy McCann the 14th, and Shawn Clayton and Danny Atkinson the 16th. We wish for these a very happy birthday and many more years to celebrate life.

Happy anniversary to Gary and Pam Graham the 12th, to Corbin and Jennifer Carroll the 14th, we wish for these couples a very happy anniversary and many more years to celebrate life together.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week. These are the ones I know about Janet K. McCaig, James T. Quillen, Jerry Wayne Yates, Marlene Victory Watson and Charles George Petty. Prayers for all these families and any others about which we may not know.

There are many VBS, meetings, and other things going on in the area which may be of interest to many of you who love to get out and visit where people are gathered. The Spring Festival is also going on this Saturday at the City Parking lot with many activities and vendors for you to enjoy, hopefully some of you will be able to attend some of these events.

On Sunday I had special guests for lunch, my grandsons Jesse and Blake shared our lunch and they mowed and weeded my yard which I greatly appreciated. It s always good to have children and grandchildren and even great grandchildren visit. The girls even got to drive the mower for a little, not with the blades in gear but just so they could feel how it goes and does. The were very excited about this and told many at church of their experience.

Prayers for those who are less fortunate and cannot get out and do the things they would like to do, prayers for them and hopefully they will have better days. If you have the opportunity visit or at least send cards or make phone calls to those you know.
