News around the ‘burg

Recently, churches celebrated All Saints Day, remembering those folks in our past who have mentored us, prayed for us, or shared a good day with us. A ten-year-old boy quietly walked to the front of the church, lit a candle and bowed his head. Wiping his eyes, he walked away and went slowly back to his seat. This little guy had prayed for his duck that had died during the summer. If only we could have that childlike faith again.

It is with sadness that we say goodbye to the Cavendish family as they leave Lewisburg after a 15-year tenure at Trinity Lutheran Church. Pastor Laura has been called to serve in a church in Ashville, south of Columbus. They have been a large part of our community and they will surely be missed. On Nov. 5, the congregation celebrated their gratitude with good wishes and good food at a carry-in following the Sunday service. We wish the entire family good luck and Godspeed. You all will be missed.

On the road again … When you have to sit and think so hard to come up with a humorous anecdote, you know it’s time to do something about it. That is where we found ourselves last week. We knew we had to do something fun, something exciting, maybe even a little dangerous. While on a visit to Eaton, the opportunity presented itself. It was a beautiful day and we just felt the need to feel the sun on our faces, the warm breeze blowing through our hair, freedom. We rode and rode, not worrying about the time or anything else. We didn’t worry about watching for cars; let them worry about us. But, it’s true, all good things must end. Too soon, the Walmart parking lot attendant needed our scooters for other needy folks, so we had to surrender them. But the memory still remains of our brief, but exciting adventure.

Final thought

Wrinkled is not one of the things I wanted to.

Words of wisdom: Slow down. Happiness is trying to catch you!

Until next week, enjoy the little things in life. Tell someone you love them. There is spirit, there is grace in our peaceful country place. See you around the ‘Burg.
