Another rerun for the weather, we have had temperatures in the upper eighties and low to mid-nineties with heat index over one-hundred some days. We have gotten some much needed rain and it helps the pastures and the late gardens.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week. These are the ones I know about Debbie Skelton, Dennis Wilbrett, William “Burr3ell” Brown, Lee Vincen Ziemann, Robert Anthony Reeves, Cynthia “Cyndi” Gail Brown, and Cathrine Jane “Cothran” Davis. Prayers for these families and any others about which we may not know.

If you must be out in the heat please stay hydrated and take time to cool off in the shade or air conditioning from time to time, I know there are some who must be out in this weather with their jobs so please take care and be safe.

For those of you who are interested in the Lewis County Historical Society we have a meeting coming up August 18, 2023 at Meriwether Lewis Park at 6 pm to celebrate Lewis’s birthday with the group that meets each year on his birthday to celebrate this great person in our history. If you would like to attend bring you chair and a meal for yourself, there will be cake and ice cream provided.

Prayers for you and your family during the coming days that you might be safe and happy in your life. Remember those who are less fortunate and pray for them but also call, send cards or visit if you can. Have a great week.
