Hello Everyone!
I’m excited to be reaching out to all of you through these printed words. It’s been a challenging time as I’ve been under the weather, spending a lot of my time in conversation with the “man with the plan.” I genuinely appreciate all the heartfelt well-wishes and those who let me know you missed my weekly articles—your support means the world to me!
I feel truly humbled to connect with such amazing friends and communities. Thank God for Jesus! While I may not be at 100% just yet, I have faith that God can turn any situation around. He may not show up when I want Him, but He’s always right on time. To God be the glory for all He has done and all He will do in our lives!
Scripture to Reflect On
I will lift my eyes to the hills, were my help comes from. Psalms 121:1

Hey Vernon!
I'm curious, where are all the kids in the neighborhood? As I drive around, looking to chat and see how their summer break is going, it seems so quiet! Maybe it’s just too hot or rainy? I remember the days when we spent hours outside, creating our own fun. Back then, there were tons of kids around, no cell phones or internet—just beepers! Times have certainly changed.
Let’s encourage our children to take nature walks and explore the wonders of our community. When we’ve moved on, the memories we create here will live on and be shared.

Healthy Fats
Grapeseed oil? It’s fantastic for your skin, brain, and heart health! Just a tablespoon a day can work wonders, whether you drizzle it over your veggies or stir it into fresh salsa.
Try This
For soft, smooth skin: Apply any flavor of toothpaste to rough patches on your body (think knees, elbows, or feet). Sprinkle some baking soda on top and add a squeeze of lemon or lime. As it foams, work it in, then rinse off. You’ll love how silky your skin feels!
Real Talk
Remember when we thought our parents were strict? Watching today’s kids makes me think how our parents saved our lives!
Weekly Humor
A Guy was thinking… Why does everyone think it’s so cute when a baby drinks from a bottle and falls asleep, but when I do it I’m an alcoholic?
