We Are The Eagles: July 18th Edition

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. "

Prayer list for this week includes: Garlene Chancellor, Ollie Fay Harris, Frank and Agnes McClellan.  I talked to Frank McClellan a few days ago; he's back home and much better after 19 days in JRMC and several operations.

Birthdays this week include: Belinda Langford (July 17),  Angela Dickman (July 18),  James Shepherd (July 18), Teresa Hibbard (July 18), Leona Thompson (July 18), and Karen Thompson (July 18), Leona Thompson (July 18), Hayley Nutt White (July 20),  Jared Davis (July 20), Maggie Sanders (July 20), Mary Ann Morgan (July 20), Lorene King Baswell (July 20), Ethel Dyer (July 22), Jean Parrott (July 22), Daniel Thompson (July 23) and Michael Herring (July 23).  A belated happy birthday goes to Kade Weaver (July 6). If that isn't enough, I may have missed some others this time around, but computer problems ate my calendar software which I'm trying to restore.

Anniversary good wishes: Marnell and Marshall Parker (July 21).

The Macedonia Free Will Baptist Church's VBS closing program was held last Friday night with great attendance and was reported to be a real blessing.   Cottage prayer meetings there were Monday through Wednesday nights of this week, and Revival will begin next Sunday morning with Brother Keith Hatton. The Sunday night service will be at 6 p.m. and Monday through Wednesday nights will begin at 7 p.m.  Everyone is invited to attend.

The Last Decade Reunion for NEHS is still in planning; the next planning meeting will be in the cafeteria at the West Saline Community Center at 2 pm on July 24. The reunion itself is tentatively set for September 17th from 4:30pm to 8pm in the same place.  Anyone who graduated from NEHS from 1975 to 1985 is encouraged to attend.

Jimmy and Michelle Reaves were in Canada for a couple of weeks due to the death of Michelle's father.

Tully and Norma McCoy are being visited by their grand daughter Amberlee from Tennessee.

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.
