Tanya Thompson visited her granddaughter, Christian, who now lives in Rayville so maybe they can visit with more often. She  really like her nice apartment.

Visiting with Gary D. and Gail Cheek Sunday afternoon was Billy and Linda Cheek from Baton Rouge. 

I got a call on Saturday from David Jeffries who grew up on the Jeffries Road. He now lives in Mobile and was told to call me for information on people who he grew up with and went to school with. I helped him with several and I did enjoy visiting with him by phone. 

God Said No!

I asked God to take away my habit. God said, No, it is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. 

I asked God make my handicapped child whole. God said no. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary. 

I asked God to grant me patience. God said no. Patience is a by product of tribulations; it isn’t granted. It is learned. 

I asked God to give me happiness. God said no.  I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.
