The hummingbirds are sure gathering on the feeders. The martins are getting their families ready for a long winter. We have three squirrels now at the feeder; they love graham and soda crackers. We gave one a potato chip so cute licking the salt off.
Dana Lafferty called Friday evening, her daughter, Cheyenne enjoyed a youth trip sponsored by their church. She helped win some souls to Christ. That proves what the Bible says train a child. Cheyenne got her drivers license. Congratulations. We always enjoyed being in church with the family.
Remember Dana’s mom August 4th, she has to have a valve replacement. Pray hard maybe God will repair it before she has to have surgery.

Sympathy to Beulah (Barr) Lassley, her son was struck by a vehicle on a highway and lost his life. He is Louella Rain’s nephew.
Remember it’s what you do most of the time that really matters. It takes just as long to be good as it does to be hateful and mean. So many bad things you hear and see on TV and now it’s close to our homes.
