Hello Everyone. Though we have had some extremely hot weather lately, the Good Lord has given us some cool mornings as well. Be Thankful.

Reflections:
*On Grandmothers: My grandmother, Emily Elizabeth (Young) Moses (104 yrs old), is a precious gift. She resides at the Good Samaritans Nursing Home now and is always glad to see family and friends. She has been sharing with me/us about a preacher that visits her often and I (and my sister) finally met him last week, while visiting Mama Em. His name is Bro. Wayne. He said he recognized me (before we were introduced) from my newspaper articles. All four of us then began to have pleasant conversation about the Lord and my grandmother. God Bless you Bro. Wayne for all you do.
