"1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah." Psalm 46:1-3 KJV
Prayer list this week includes: Wayne Sanders, the family of J. T.
Harris, the family of Billie Langford. Please also remember my friend

Brown reports she is much better and appreciates the prayers offered up

Birthdays this week include: Erwin Dyer (April 24), Cecil Sanders (April
26), Geraldine Sanders (April 27), Robert Dyer (April 27), Jeanette
Thompson (April 27), Morgan Searcy (April 28), Norma Thompson (April

With blackberry winter in the rear view mirror, we're moving into some warmer weather.
New Edinburg Fire Department responded to a dishwasher fire on Russell Road Monday morning.
Two donations to the New Edinburg Museum last week: Marty Gill gave me
two horseshoes dug up from the area of the horse corral that was once in
town, and Cecil Sanders donated a book written by him entitled "The
Future: An Amillenial Perspective." If you have a book written by
someone from New Edinburg, like this one, I'd love to archive a copy on
the museum for posterity (and reading). The names "New Edinburg Museum",
"Museum of New Edinburg", and "New Edinburg Museum of History" are
copyrighted (c) to me, James C. Boney, as of April 20, 2012.
Homecoming at Macedonia FWB Church was a sheer delight this past
Sunday. The southern gospel quartet The Kinsmen kept the congregation
entertained with music and light humor both before and after a lavish
potluck lunch. Karen Thompson was backed by the Kinsmen as she moved the
audience with "I Bowed On My Knees and Cried Holy." Mrs. Betty Green
was visited by her daughter Teresa Gatewood and Teresa's daughter
Brenttany. I had not seen Teresa in over a decade and enjoyed talking
to her again.
If you have church news... or any news... you'd like to see here, feel
free to share! Go Eagles.

New Edinburg Column For April 10th.
The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. 2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. 3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. 4 The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob."

April 2 Edition
"Psalm 95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. 3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods." (Psa 95:1-3 KJV)
Prayer list this week includes: Sybil Brown and Geneva Everright.
Birthdays this week include: Robert Boney (April 1), Mark Weeks (April 2), Brian Chancellor (April 6), Mildred Brown (April 7).
Happy anniversary to: Tammy & Don Pennington (April 4) and Judy & Delbert Moring (April 6).

Bob Kleinbeck reports Geneva (Landers) Everright is now in a nursing home in Pine Bluff. She is 98 years old.
Controversy within the Fire Department's long overdue meeting last Thursday resulted in one member quitting (that would be me) and firefighter James Gill demanding that the bylaws be revised for clarity over procedural and personnel issues that have been hanging for a long time. Marty Gill is reported to have read the board of directors the riot act over the personal behavior of certain firefighters. There will be a meeting of the board of directors this month to address these issues. Fire chief Randy Linzy names Major "Boo" McClellan assistant fire chief and training officer Allan May, due to his ill health, appoints Steven Linzy and James Gill as assistant training officers. Be advised that all area residents who pay fire dues are entitled in input on fire department matters.
While walking home from that meeting, I was stopped and searched for concealed weapons by one State Trooper and two County Deputies on a tip that I was in possession of a collapsible baton. Of course, they found nothing because I am NOT retarded. Apparently someone thinks I'm dangerous enough that I'm worthy of three law enforcement officers. I appreciate the compliment. I'm now operating under the impression that someone abused his/her authority in order to bring that much muscle down on me, and all reading this should be concerned; if I can be targeted, then so can you. Kudos to Trooper Rowland for his professional demeanor and pleasant attitude.
Adding to the rash of thefts in this area: new resident Mark Schienle, who hails from Wisconsin and lives in the former Louise Sledd house, reports that his Get-Rid-Of-It trash can was stolen from his yard on or about March 27. We all feel positive someone should have seen this in the middle of town; if you have knowledge of this incident, please contact him.
