To benefit the Pearl Church of Christ Scholarship Fund, a beautiful maple coffee table (54x24x15) and a beautiful maple round dining table with a leaf (46” wide with leaf and 18” wide without the leaf), plus four chairs will be sold.

Now, an update on the life and times of Kay Pruett: A visitor to Raby Park struck up a conversation with Kay while she was working in her yard that joins Raby Park. The lady told Kay that she loves coming to the park because it is so peaceful, and something is always happening. The lady said she recently heard a voice reading, and she looked up and saw an elderly man on Kay’s patio who was reading the Bible. The lady added, “That must have been your husband.” Kay laughed and said, “I am a widow. That elderly man was me reading to my dog, Pearl.” The lady was embarrassed, but it didn’t bother Kay at all. Kay said, “It’s hard to insult an old lady!” (Thank you, Kay, for sharing this story and helping me with current events for the news this week! You can’t wish to rush me to my demise over this one because it came from you. Plus, I can’t wait to visit and hear your beautiful baritone voice in the future).
This week’s Bible verse comes from John 3:16—For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. KJV
