Thank you to Bethel First Presbyterian Church for a very special Thanksgiving meal, your 18th time to provide for many people in your community who were hungry for food and/or fellowship.

This event first began when a majority of the church's 115 members cook for and served about 50 people in 1993.

Since then, the crowds have steadily increased each year as single adults, couples and families have lined up to be served in the fellowship hall by many church and community volunteers.

Winter, with its bitter wind, rain and snow, is rapidly approaching. Now is the time to check our doghouses, patching and repairing all cracks and leaks. It is also time for new, clean bedding. Whether it be straw, blankets or carpeting, this bedding will need to be replaced often. Putting a board along the bottom of the door opening will help keep the bedding inside the house. Also, turning the door away from the wind helps protect your dog from the cold.

My daughter-in-law gave me a diary for a birthday gift and asked me to write some of my life's lessons in it for my grandchildren. Every once in a while, life gives you a very special moment, so overwhelming you almost glow. I had just experienced one. These are a few do's - don'ts that come to mind ...
Say thank you a lot.
Plant a garden every spring.
Live beneath your means.
Be forgiving of others.
Be a student in some kind of class.
Make new friends, but cherish the old ones.

Recently, the Courier-Journal reported that Dr. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, wrote at length to instruct Christians not to do yoga.
He says, "The embrace of yoga is a symptom of our postmodern spiritual confusion, and, to our shame, this confusion reaches into the church."
