GOD first...Heavenly Father, we are always amazed in the things You provide in so many wonderous ways. Our lives take so many turns and yet You are there when we think there is no alternative. As we strengthen our resolve to better serve You, help us when we look at the needs of those around us. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. In your prayers, include in your hearts those who are grieving, ill, suffering, or are in harm’s way.
Humor Time: Identical twins went into a bar and laughed as one of the barflies started to gawk at them. One of the twins said, 'Don't worry, the booze hasn't affected you, we're twins.' The drunk said, 'All four of you?'
A married couple were visiting zoo where the animals were kept in compounds instead of cages. Unfortunately, the wife leaned too far over the rail into the compound of the giant male gorilla. As the gorilla was carrying her off, the wife cried, 'What should I do?' The husband said, 'Do what you do at home. Tell him you have a headache!'

Well, it sure looks like rain is about to fall. How much? Nobody knows and certainly not the weather men on TV. Some of the bad stuff already went past San Antonio and well into the next state east. The Easter Egg Hunt went fairly well, considering it had to be moved to the Shooting Club Hall because of the threat of rain for this past Saturday. And the Sunrise Services were moved from the park to the inside of the church. I am writing this on Thursday, April 2, so we will see if all this really happens. If it all happens as the TV weather people predicted, then that's the way it happened. I'm praying for rain and if my prayer is answered, then it will be an Easter Blessing beyond our expectations. The Lord has different places of blessings to perform and many prayers to answer. Did you pray for rain?
History 25 years ago......April 5, 2001 Heard a rumor that there are some people taking interest in running for the office of Nordheim City Council. It's good to see that there are people in the community that are concerned enough to run for offices available. Larry Hale and Larry Baucum are not running for the office they have held which expires this year. There are no contested races at this time. Vance Frosch is Mayor Pro Tem and has applied for the office of Mayor of Nordheim. Tim Osterloh is going to fill out Vance Frosch's term and Kay Voight and Howard Ann Baumann are filling in for Larry’s terms of office on the City Council. Other members of the City Council are Rena Garcia and Patricia Garcia. We wish them all good luck.
Humor Time: A pastor told his congregation, 'Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon. I want you all to read Mark 17.' The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the pastor asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17. Every hand went up. The Pastor smiled and said, 'Mark has only sixteen chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying.'
My sweet Marry Louise who passed away two years ago, clipped all my articles from the Yorktown News from January 2001 in scrap books that I am taking articles from each week. Some of the jokes are old and some had been forgotten. I hope you all will enjoy going back 25 years as some are interesting and bring back many memories to share in reading. See you all next week.
