The spring rummage sale at FCC is this Friday and Saturday, 9AM to 4 PM each day. I thought I'd be proactive and take a few pictures of the rummage sale items Wednesday morning to show you what's available. I knew that would be incomplete, because more stuff comes in every day. Boy, that's the truth! By the time Wednesday night Bible study rolled around, there was a lot more, but I didn't have my camera with me. There are a ton of dishes, as always, and clothing of all kinds.

When I sat down to write my mother's obituary , I thought it would be the hardest thing I ever wrote. I knew the rules: keep it short, use simple language, just the facts, ma'am. But how could I sum up the life of the person I've known longer than any other? How can I possibly make a tribute that was worthy? I made a chronological list of her accomplishments, and the obituary just wrote itself. The funeral director warned me that it would cost us to print all that, and I told
