As I reflect on the events of the past week, I am overwhelmed by the goodness shown by my neighbors and friends. The snow and ice made travel almost impossible on my country dirt road. One neighbor brought my mail and newspaper to my door several days. Another friend cleaned the ice from my steps. Another good neighbor repaired my mailbox, which had been knocked down by an out -of-control car that slipped on the ice on the highway. I appreciate the fact that the power company was able to keep the power on, as I was shut-in for six days.

Jennifer Glover led Children’s Time where she discussed how we want everything immediately, from the coffee we drink to the food we eat. When we pray, we expect God to answer our prayers immediately, but God will answer our prayers in His time. From Psalm 116:1-2, “I love the Lord because he has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live”.

Sunday morning at Beulah Church of Christ we had everyone smiling as we watched Roger Parker ”walk” in with the aid of his walker. He was at the door greeting everyone who entered, where he always was before his medical problems began. Several weeks ago, Roger was in the hospital and could not move any part of the right side of his body. So Sunday morning we all witnessed a miracle. Thank everyone for all your prayers. God has answered them. Roger still needs our prayers as he continues his recovery but the outlook is good at this time. We thank God for His healing power.

Brother Bob Watkins welcomed everyone to Sunday school. We sang Happy Birthday for all those with a birthday in November. Brother Bob had Zack Tyner give each birthday person a small gift. We also recognized those having a wedding anniversary in November. Zack also gave each couple a gift. The thought for the day was “sin”. “Some people confess sin a thousand times, but it is best to confess it once and then thank God a thousand times for His forgiveness.” Scripture that inspires this thought is I John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

I turn 10 this week. It's crazy, right?It has been a crazy year. I've been telling people I plan to be a paleontologist, but now I think I'll go into private practice with some partners at school.

I am one who doesn't deal well with good-byes, especially when watching a historic building crumbling down by the claws of an excavator.The buildings on South Boddie Street (106 and 112) have long sat empty with little maintenance. The building in the center of the two, which is much younger, was purchased by Adam Williams several years ago. Adam brought breath back into the building which housed Nashville's Parks and Recreation for a few years. The older structures were eventually condemned due the owner not complying to bring the structures back up to a safe level. I don't know how he did it, but Adam found a way to purchase the two structures when others had tried to buy them in the past.
