Don’t tell me I don’t understand pain and suffering and sports. I have a Heath Shuler #5 jersey hanging in my closet. I won more games at quarterback in the 1990s with it than he did.
And so, when I saw the replay Sunday of the hit that put Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III (a.k.a. RGIII) into la-la land, I have to ask that you not forgive my outrage, just understand it.
October is here and you know what that means.
It’s Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog month. October is also Pit Bull Awareness Month.
What can you do to recognize these two special things? Well, you can go to your local shelter and adopt a pit bull. If you can’t do that, then maybe you can help an animal rescue organization pull a pit bull from the shelter.

WHO Let the Dogs OUT?? Was it you? Your neighbor? Or did they escape looking for love in ALL the wrong places. It is incredible how many people do NOT look for their lost pets at the Animal Control facility.
Just last week, we had THREE purebred German Shepherds. Lucky, the owner of two was there the very next day to claim.
Ronald Bass welcomed everyone to Sunday school. We had 76 in attendance. Today, being the first Sunday in the month, we recognized those with a birthday this month. Candy was given to the lucky ones. Those with wedding anniversaries were recognized also.
On a stormy morning, Peachtree folks met at the church for worship. Pastor Whitehouse chose as his sermon topic, “How to Be a Lover.” It was based on scripture from Luke 7: 40-49. It tells the story of Jesus attending a meal at the home of Simon, the Pharisee. Jesus was not shown the customary honor of having the dust washed from his feet by the host.
Thank everyone who came to the fish fry on Friday night. We always look forward to having fellowship with all of you and really appreciate your support.
Another big event is coming up this week-end! Please make a note in your mind and also on your calendar.
