Things just keep getting better and better at Senior Citizen Center every week as we had twenty-three for lunch on Thursday, May 6th. We had a newcomer there Thursday, Mr. Snuffy Bennett came and seemed to have a great time, and evidently, what I could overhear at the other table he was learning to play bingo for the first time. Others attending were James Lenamond, Doris Lemley, Gayla Lind, Glenda Gambini, Neennah German, Roger and Linda Watson, Elizabeth Neason, Sue Wood, Lorene Stembridge, Bob and Lona Walters, Fonetta Simmons, Earl Mask, Hank and Elle Stanisczewski, Donna Lloyd, Ann Brown, Helen Harvey, Alma McCurry, Janice Bilbrey, and myself. Seems most everyone said they would be back Thursday, May 13th for our lunch of Salsbury Steak, Rice Pilaf, Italian Green Beans, Bread, Jello, Tea/Milk. Who knows maybe it will be like this past week when Neennah, Sue, and I made cornbread to bring because the menu called for crackers and we were having corn beef and cabbage, so we all had the same idea, we needed cornbread, and cornbread we had. Thanks for pitching in ladies. Maybe we’ll have surprised this coming week.

Tom’s Topics

Shepherds Sayings

Jesus gave His followers a truly awesome promise when he said, “Where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them. (Matt. 18:20) I am afraid that sometimes we forget to take seriously this and other promises our Lord left us. Have you ever thought about it? Why do people stop attending church, withdrawing from the fellowship of believers? There probably are many reasons and likely some of them at the time seemed valid, but I wonder are they still valid today?
