This week brought more July rain to the area. Tonight we are seeing a dramatic lightning display in the heavens, I am glad to be home from the hospital and getting stronger. Sometimes, my grandsons come and sing to me before bed, which is a nice way to end the day.
Congratulations to Pastor Barry Pfister of LaGrange, who was elected as the Director of Missions for the Mt. Salem/Wyaconda Association at a meeting on Thursday night. Brother Pfister has been serving as the interim Director of Missions for some time.
The air conditioner has been repaired at South Union Baptist Church, and the message today was about resurrection, which seemed fitting after the renewal of the air conditioner! Bill Stalder of Quincy attended the service today in honor of his late mother, Charilyn Stalder, who would have turned 89 years old this week. Charilyn and I first met more than 70 years ago at YWA at church, and we were lifelong friends until her death last year.
My sister-in-law, Evelyn Brink, and her daughter, Julie Brink, visited me today. Evelyn and I shared health care and illness stories, which I guess is typical considering our ages!
This time of year reminds me of when my dad and his friends would set aside a day to go handfishing on the Fabius River that runs behind Maywood and ran through our farm. The Nunns, Joneses, Quinns, and others would get together and walk along the river and pull huge catfish from holes in the banks. I have a picture of one hanging on a bamboo pole, and the fish was a long as my dad was tall. The men would come back to our house and divide up the fish. My mom made the best fried catfish, and I was thinking how good her catfish would have tasted today!
Happy Anniversary to Bobby and Rachel Shepherd.
“The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.”
