NO RHYME OR REASON.  JUST PASSING THOUGHTS :  some positive , some negative , and some for you to decide…………….

—–Highway construction warnings :  orange and white barrels that I wish I owned stock in.

—–Neighbors we count on even though they are  ” over the hill and through the woods “.  Roy and Jan Holland come to mind as do Harold and Susan Harbin.

—–People who don’t reply to SERIOUS/IMPORTANT  emails , phone calls , or texts (  even when asked ).

—–Amenities that give us quality of life :  electricity,  gas , refrigeration,  furnace,  air conditioning,  dishwasher,  microwave,  television,  computer,  and on and on.   We tend to forget.

—–Sick or evil ?   Forever the question.

—–Those who respond when the chips are down :   Mike Smith  ( Eric and Chad )  ; Ronnie Floyd and crew ;  Lavonia Animal Hospital  ( Pat, Jason, and Kim ) ;  Ken Carter ;  Beth Spears;    Eddie Bowman;   Lauren Bruce , to name a few .  There are others, of course.

—–Memories of times long gone.

—–What hometown churches have meant to me :  First Methodist, my spiritual home ;  First Baptist,  my  friend  ;   First Presbyterian,  my family history.   Each, in its own way, has lifted me up.

—–SPAM and SCAM and HACKS,  all that intrude on my privacy.

—–St. Mary’s Sacred Heart Hospital, a place of compassion and  healing in our own neighborhood.

—–King brothers’ acres and acres on Hwy. 77,  blessing us all with seasons of the year  and of life :  planting, harvesting,  dying and  rebirth .  There’s a sermon there.

—–High school sweethearts who become forever lovers.

—–Preachers who understand that Christianity runs deeper than church on Sunday.

—–Bubblegum – colored  petunias.

—–City worker Eddie Fulbright  ,  who is everywhere,  all the time,  making Lavonia a better place.

—–Information as power……….dangerous when abused.

—–The  love of a good dog.

—–Sheriffs Stevie Thomas and Hugh Roach (RIP) who never , EVER , let me down when  I was an  administrator at Franklin County High School.

—– “To whom much is given, much is required “.   ( Luke )
