FAITHFUL WORDS

Whom do you mimic?

“Therefore be imitators of God, as dear children” (See Ephesians 5:1-17).

The word “imitate” (5:1) literally means “to mimic.”

I wouldn’t take anything for my last day with Rick

“Bill, we received an e-mail from Rick today.” 

That fact in itself was significant, for Rick had had only limited contact with any of the family for almost four years. But I could sense there was more.  Dad continued, “He informed us that he has esophageal cancer.” 

   The animal shelter provides a much needed service to Campbell County residents. It serves all of the city municipalities as well as the outlying county areas where they patrol for strays and also respond to requests to resolve pet issues. 

In many cases, lost dogs and cats end up at the shelter enabling them to be returned to the owner. 

The September 2010 report shows that five animals were returned to their owner.

Fall will be upon us by the time you read this.  The Autumnal Equinox is, I note, listed differently on the 2010 calendars I have hanging in the library.  The Tennessee Wildlife calendar lists the 23rd as the first day of fall while some other almanac type calendars list it as beginning on the 22nd.  I looked on the Internet and also found this discrepancy among various sources.  I’ll stick with my most trusted source, The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which proclaims that fall begins at 11:09 p.m. EST.
