OBITUARIES

My Cowboy is I’m no longer riding by your side

but there’s no need to weep;I’ve left sweet recollectionsIm hoping you will keep.

Eternal joy and memoriesstay in our hearts forever,

Strengthening or special bondthat parting cannot sever.

Now it’s tome to ride on, so let your faith be strong, For I am in a better place...I’m home where I belong.

And if times of lonelinessbring sorrow and dismay,

Don’t despair, for I am there...

Your cowboy is just a memory away.

Billy,I love you and miss you so much,

Sandy

In memory

On Wednesday, August 27, Aaron Joseph Blevins was born to Heather and Cliff, a couple in our church. In thinking about their joy and how happy we, Miss Jackie and I, were for them, you’d think we were part of the family; well in a sense we are. As I was rejoicing with them I thought of the joy I experienced when my own children were born; how awesome an experience. All the emotions, the pride and humility, the fear and sense of fullness, all these, and more, experienced at once. I remember those and think of the wonder of it. What is more wonderful is imagin-ing God’s perspective. God has purposely formed

Minister’s Corner each of us and caused each of us to be born. He watched, and watches over us, cares for us, and sends us informa-tion about himself in order for us to get to know him. He knows us, because he has been watching us as we have lived in this world. What he is waiting for, is for us to accept him and form a rela-tionship with him. In this world, there are some who have adoptive par-ents. Sometimes those, who when they find out they are adopted, want to find their biological parents and form a relationship with them. This is somewhat how God is waiting for us to form a bond and a relationship with him. Only, unlike the one with our earthly parents, the rela-tionship with God is eternal. If you would like that, then pray with your heart to God and tell him. He will hear you if you are sincere.
