“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8

Isn’t that a beautiful verse? It was printed on the wedding invitation of Teri Nelson and John Ellis, who served a meal at their wedding at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, and then at 7:30 p.m. the guests witnessed their marriage ceremony. That was followed by Teri’s father, Darwin, playing his popular deejay music for dancing and visiting. Best wishes to the young couple who live and work in Eads.

MOCKER

“The proud and arrogant man – 'Mocker' is his name; he behaves with overweening pride.” Proverbs 21:24

When Jim Kennedy uses his big backhoe, a crowd usually gathers. He's an artist, you see. 

At Bud McFarland's place the other day, he was there to install Bud's new septic tank. This was to be a massive septic tank.  Now and then Jim would just do something to show off his skill. At one point, when Jim's backhoe cut through a buried tree root, there was about a foot-long section of root lying alone at the bottom of the hole.

"Hey Jim," Bud yelled at Jim, good-naturedly, "firewood!"

Makes:   16 servings 

This tasty zucchini bread can be eaten as a dessert or snack. Serve warm or cooled.

Dear Dietitian

My fourteen-year-old daughter was recently diagnosed with celiac disease.  We made an appointment with a dietitian, and she is doing her best to follow a gluten-free diet.  The problem is she still has stomach aches and diarrhea three to five times a week. What should we do? --Mandy
