“He was right, dead right,
as he sped along.
But he’s just as dead now
as if he were wrong.”

I always liked that one. And quote it to my kids from time to time.

Heartland Worship Center in Paducah has a ministry called Acts of Compassion Through Service (ACTS). They gather gently used clothing, used household items and furniture, much like Goodwill. The difference is, they give the items away through bi-weekly openings to the people with needs in the community while using this as a tool to share the Good News.

Another program at Heartland Worship Center that is being replicated across Western KY is JumpStart. Names of children with needs are collected from family services at the schools in the area. Then, the students and their families are invited to attend a special back-to-school event where they receive free hair cuts, classes on personal hygiene, a trip to the ACTS house for school clothes and a trip to WalMart to shop for back-to school needs. The parents are invited to attend classes on parenting, money mangement, etc. while the students are busy having fun. Each family attending is paired with a church family for the day of fun and shopping.

I really appreciated your letter re: Reading Your Own Obituary. It really made me think
about it..of course I do quite often. My husband and I are planning our Obituaries and what
we want done during our death. It would help our children so much, when that time does
come.

I am a volunteer Secretary at Deep Creek Baptist Church in Mercer County. Thanks again for the laugh, plus the truth to be told. I may use it in my next Newsletter, if that is ok with you.

Again Thanks for the fun.

Yes you are right but the rest of the billions have died and the Bible says in Hebrews 9:27, ” And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” KJV
Also, Jesus could return and we are taken up to meet him in the air and not taste death. Thanks for your comment.

With all due respect; Enoch and Elijah left the earth alive! Just saying…
