Iwent to the Thanksgiving Outreach lunch at First Baptist Church on Saturday to get mom and dad some plates. Pam and James King sure run a great operation. They started this event 27 years ago and it was another big success.
The Rockdale Rotary Club was also on hand volunteering and making things run like a well-oiled machine. Lots of other volunteers were delivering meals, cooking, cleaning and packing food.
The best part was I got my pumpkin pie fix. I chose two pieces for the desserts thinking dad would eat one of them and knowing mom wouldn’t. But it turns out he doesn’t like pumpkin pie either, so I got to eat both slices. I am now wondering if I am the only one in my family who likes pumpkin pie. More for me. —kwc— There are so many Christmas activities going on starting today (Thursday) with Rockdale Downtown Association’s Christmas Tree Lighting at 6 p.m. I compiled a list of events which is on the front page. There is something for everyone to put you in a holiday mood. —kwc— A pastor is walking down the street one day when he notices a small boy trying to use the doorbell on a house across the street. However, the boy is very small, and the doorbell is too high for him to reach.
After watching the boy’s efforts for some time the pastor walks across the street up to the little fellow and rings the doorbell.
Kneeling down next to the child, the pastor smiles and asks, “And now what, my little man?”
To which the boy replies, “Run!” —kwc— After a church service on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother, “Mom, I’ve decided to become a minister when I grow up.”
“That’s okay with us, but what made you decide that?”
“Well,” said the little boy, “I have to go to church on Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell, than to sit and listen.” —kwc— The Pastor woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf.
So he told the associate pastor that he was feeling sick and convinced him to preach for him that day. As soon as the associate pastor left the room, the Pastor headed out of town to a golf course about 40 miles away. This way he knew he wouldn’t accidentally meet anyone he knew from his church.
Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church! At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from heaven and exclaimed, “You’re not going to let him get away with this, are you?”
The Lord sighed, and said, “No, I guess not.” Just then he hit the ball and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole. IT WAS A 435 YARD HOLE IN ONE! Saint Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, “Why did you let him do that?
“The Lord smiled and replied, “Who’s he going to tell?”
