GOD first....Heavenly
GOD first....Heavenly Father, we act as if we have control of our lives and do things we think we are going to do from day to day. When we accept such foolishness, we let ourselves open to be disappointed. Lord, we ask for Your guidance, strength, and mercy to approach our daily lives with absolute trust knowing that asking in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, our trust is secure. Amen. Pray for those who are ill, grieving, suffering, or are in harm’s way. As you pray for rain, ask each day, in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ Joke Break: A tough old cowboy with grizzly hair, crusted face, hands as tough as leather told his grandson that the secret to living a long life was to add a pinch of gun powder to his oatmeal every morning. With absolute faith, the grandson did as his grandpa instructed. Every morning for the rest of his life, he added gunpowder to his oatmeal. The grandson grew up, lived happily, enjoyed a perfect life and died at the ripe old age of 101. According to the story in the newspaper, he left behind 14 children, 31 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, and 12 great-great grandchildren and a 15 foot hole in the ground where the crematorium used to be.
With so much happening this past weekend, there has been a lull in the news department. There has been some inquiry about whose dog is running all over town that has been dyed a light green. At least that is the color I have come up with as it is an off color. Otherwise, it seems to know where it is going all the time and looks for food at each house. Inquiring minds wanted to know...
A lot of people are ignoring the 40 mph speed limit signs on each end of town on Hwy. 72. Earlier, the State Highway Patrol and Dewitt County Deputy, were giving out warnings. I guess they have lost all interest. The posted signs that the State Highway Department, if they choose, could or should be posted, at least be like 70 mph, but no matter what, it would still be ignored. Some of the drivers can’t read anyway.
Talked to Ray Leister the other day. He said that since deer season opened, he has received so many deer at his processing plant, that all his freezers are full most of the time. Business has been good, and it may take him over two months to process all the deer and maybe longer. Asked him if he has seen any jackalopes lately. He said that he thinks that Randy Wisian already killed them all because he heard a lot of gun fire in that direction. Might have to report that to Gordon Reynolds as Gordon is in charge of the Jackalope Preserve south of Nordheim. One observer said he saw one, but many believe it must have been an overgrown jack rabbit as the observer didn’t see any horns. It’s still too early to get a sure fire account to see if any are left and Gordon hasn’t made any effort to survey the Preserve yet. Some may still be in their dens. It’s been too dry lately and it’s hard to tell if any made it. Here’s hoping that they haven’t become extinct in our area. Sure would be disappointing as a lot of us were hoping that they would become a trade mark and bring notoriety to the community. Wouldn’t want to call Randy a bunny killer this close to Easter.
Our Kafffee Klatch clan met this past Thursday with 12 souls, each with tales of yester year. To some of us, it was many chapters of past histories about people, who at one time, were one of our distinguished citizens of Nordheim and surrounding areas. Myrtle and Janis confirmed, by memory and Facebook a lot of the true identities of the facts of those related to those we talked about. Who was related kin to a lot of us or where they all lived in the present and past. That’s one of the reasons we can’t really talk about some of them. They might be of some kin to one of us and to say something about them may bring bad feelings. Most, were just the funny things we remembered. And so it goes, we try to have a good time with a lot of laughter. Also had lots of good desserts and cakes that really make coffee interesting. Even a few leftovers from Wednesday night services. It doesn’t get any better than this.
See you next week.
