Happy Thanksgiving to all! Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving Day and many of you will be getting together for roasted turkey and dressing with all the trimmings with your family. Hopefully it will be a very blessed time for you and yours.
The past few days surely have been cold, and predicted to get colder. It's time to have a nice warm fire in the fireplace. I haven't had a fire yet, but I'm looking forward to enjoying one. There is something special about sitting by the fire enjoying a special treat like hot chocolate, popcorn, or a dish of ice cream. Yes, I eat ice cream sitting by the fire; and it is wonderful.
A big crowd attended the WPSO's Senior Citizen Thanksgiving luncheon held on Thursday, November 10th at the First Baptist Church in Franklinton. Everyone received a tote bag with fruit, hot sauce and peppermints. Numerous door prizes were awarded, being cash in an envelope. I enjoyed the meal and especially visiting with everyone. Students from area schools helped with serving the meal. Thanks to all of you, some being from MHS.
Mt. Hermon School hosted a basketball tournament on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (Nov. 17th, 18th, and 19th). I am happy to report that our girls team won their first two games. There will be more about the tournament in next week's edition.
Rick Schilling was telling me, they had their Thanksgiving dinner following the Sunday morning service on November 13th at Mt. Hermon Church. They had a good crowd and a delicious meal.

We have lots of prayer concerns. Pray for our church, church family, Joe and Jenny Warren, Bro. Fred Brumfield and wife Tanna, my first cousin Bobbie Brumfield Miller. Also pray for Goldie Harvery who recently had surgery. Pray for the family of Ricky Ingram (my first cousin) who passed away at his home on Thursday, November 10th.
Thought for the Week! There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It's up to you to decide what to do with them - Jim Valvano.
Until next writing take care of yourself and have a blessed week. Stay tuned for more - Thanks Nell.
