Congratulations to Katherine Pack on her upcoming retirement.  She has served our county very well for many year.  She enjoyed a nice retirement party given by her friends and family.  Many traveled for miles to help celebrate with Katherine.  We wish her many years of health to enjoy her dear family and friends. 

We were so broken hearted over the death of Greg Ray.  Our hopes and prayers had been for his healing, but we are very thankful for Greg’s testimony of faith in God.  Please pray for Greg’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Ray, and his wife and children.  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
Happy birthday wishes go out to David Reynolds and Tommye Ann Sliger.

We hear about all the food recalls on the news and wonder at how we ever survived the many years of going to the smoke house to cut a piece of bacon for breakfast or milking the cow before work to get our milk.  We didn’t have a food thermometer nor did we sanitize with bleach very often.  Surely the bacteria and viruses are much more powerful these days than they were back then.  

Even to your old age I am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you.  I have made, and I will bear:  I will carry and will save. Isaiah 46:4
