The latest meeting for organization of the big Last Ten Reunion was Sunday afternoon. In attendance this time were Annette Luff, Connie Shaw, Steve Queen and myself.

The reunion itself will be September 17th from 4:30pm to 8pm at in the school cafeteria.

Psalm 119:21-23 "21Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. 22Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. 23Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. "

Last Wednesday was eventful, to say the least. That afternoon saw sweltering conditions produce a thunderstorm that dumped varying amounts of rain; I received 4.5 inches while those south of town received 1.5 inches or so. Lightning from the storm struck the home of Garlene Chancellor on Briant Road; the resulting fire destroyed the building and her automobile. An eyewitness said the fire spread quickly and the home was wholly engulfed before County Line Fire Department could get there.

Colossians 1:16-18 “16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. “

A delicious fish and all the trimmings supper was held at the Cowboys Restaurant in Monticello, last Thursday night in Honor of Leon Brown of Pampa Tex.

Macedonia Free Will Baptist Church's Vacation Bible School begins next Monday night July 11, 6:30-8:00 p.m. The closing program will be Friday night, July 15.
Incidentally, I learned through the grapevine that an anonymous reader complained I never put any church news in this column but Macedonia's news. That would be because that church's members bother to let me know what's going on. At the end of each and every column, I put my contact information. If it isn't printed here, it's because you didn't send it in like a normal person would. I can't read minds.
If you have items of interest you would like to see in this column, get them to me by Monday 5pm in order for it to appear in that week's edition. My phone number is 870-308-4608, and my email is jamescboney@gmail.com. Go Eagles.
