The Baptist Women’s World Day of Prayer was held on Monday, November 4th
7p.m. at Richland Springs. All women were invited to
come prayer with us. We were given some special prayer request for needs around
the world.
In case you noticed the
damage to the Police Station and the missing crepe myrtle on Main Street, a
semi tractor trailer ran into the office after knocking down the tree. The driver fell asleep.

Remembering a unique
individual I asked Joye Gillian Bodie about her father ML Gillian. “You know
everyone called him Peter Rabbit because he loved to rabbit hunt so not many
people would even recognize him by that name. Thanks for remembering him. You
remember he used to be Santa Claus for the town along with water meter reader,
water management, police, part of fire department, and he loved the
American Legion. You remember that Marilyn Scott’s daddy was Ralph and he
worked as a policeman too along with Dave Boatwright. Oh, the memories that
flood back when I start to think of those days.” From me, “I know things have changed and are better
for so many people. Yet it is nice to
remember the good, too.”
This past weekend there was
the Yon Family Farm Bull Sale and the Antique Tractor Pull at Richland Springs
John Fay Berry’s place. Things were
hopping around this area.
