Still days with temperatures in the eighties and occasionally in the low nineties and we have had several thundershowers pop up in the area with thunder and lightning and even some reported hail during on of them. The rain was welcome but has made it difficult for the ball teams to finish their state games and some were even postponed till the next day; these games were played in Dickson, Tennessee.

Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Joyce Barnes, Colene Beasley, Lois Bennett, Gertie Carroll, Kathleen Carroll, Spencer Clark, Robert and Pat Dickson, Callie Garrison, Ophelia Green, Carolyn Hargrave, Betty Hasty, Linda Hornal, Shirley Howe, Debbie Johnston, Denny King, Monette King, Claire Elizabeth Mayberry, Ronnie Lewis, Doug Miller, Howard Miller, Jackie McFall, Carla Murphy, Beverly Sue Novogurski, Lonnie Odom, Joy Orman, Roger Pace, Debbie Pierce, Harry Runions, Mike Runions, Russell Runions, Bill Seiber, Johnnie Faye Skelton, Terry Stutts, Jeff Tatum, Diane Williams, and Annette Williams. Remember these in your daily prayers that they might be better and for any others that need prayers.

We wish a happy birthday to Christy Troutman, Burton Barer Dustin Stutts, Wylie Carroll and Adam Robertson the 14th, Becky Graham the 15th, Deanne Barnes the 17th, Mark Totty, Kay Murphy, Bobby James, Megan Pierce and James Whitehead the 18th, Krista Rahman the 19th, and Vera Runions and Dane Cotham the 20th.

Prayers for all those who have lost loved ones this past week. These are the ones I know about Linda Faye Carroll, Dorothy Sue Allen, Henry DeWayne Victory, and Norma Elaine Broyles. Prayers for these families and any others about which we may not know.

The Lewis County Girl Scouts are looking for any girls that would like to be a Girl Scout, we can sign them up now for the year which begins in August after school starts and get them started on an amazing trip in learning about our nation, county and many other things from cooking to gardening along with other things. If your daughter would like to be a girl scout contact me and 931-796-3880 will be glad to help you get started or go to gsmidtn.org and follow the information given there.

Many who have gardens are reaping the benefits of their labor and Jimmy Lee Johnston always shares with those at church, he brought squash, tomatoes, and cucumbers this past Sunday. I know everyone appreciates him sharing with us.

Prayers for a good week for everyone and if it is really hot be sure to stay hydrated and don’t overheat. May your family enjoy fellowship and enjoy each other’s company when you have the opportunity to be together.
