A very Happy Mother's Day to all moms this past Sunday!!  What would we do without MOMS?

JoAnn and Tammy Harris met Trista Pryor and family in Lamar on Saturday and watched Hunter play soccer.  Afterwards, they went out to eat and celebrate Trista's birthday and Mothers Day.  Happy Birthday Trista.

We are glad to hear that Marlin Stum is out of the hospital and feeling much better.

Did you know that 267 Colorado cities and towns, and all of Colorado’s 64 counties; have been identified as being at risk for flooding? Colorado’s landscape and ever-changing weather not only creates a beautiful state, but it also creates potentially powerful flood hazard.

Floods can be one of the most damaging natural disasters. The extensive flooding along the Front Range in September 2013 showed just how real the flood threat is in Colorado. No matter where you live, work or play in the mountains, big cities, small towns or out on the plains, you can be impacted by a flood.

As the recessional played, and Reverend Jeff opened the church doors before shaking hands with his parishioners, he was surprised to discover he wasn’t the first one there.

“Mornin’ Rev!”

“Uh, good morning … Alphonse.”

Yes, it was Alphonse “Windy” Wilson, his boots cleaned and a bulldogger Western tie on his pearl-snap shirt, grinning broadly.

He stood next to the minister as the parishioners came past, one by one and shook Jeff’s hand. Then they shook Windy’s hand … because there it was, outstretched and ready for a shake.

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS

I do not like to see kids bad mouth their parents or treat them disrespectfully. “Children who mistreat their father or chase away their mother are a public disgrace and an embarrassment." Proverbs 19:26
