This morning before making my way out to Church, I went thru my usual ritual of heading to Casey's for coffee a and a cinnamon roll. While there, I ran into three long in the tooth milledgevillian's Barry Imel, Jerry Gibbs and Steve Bazzell where we all talked about Family, farming and fishin'! We asked about babies on the way and shared a joke or two. And we also took time to ask about "the happenings" in each other's lives. In the midst of curing all of the world's ills, we managed to get in the way of a few customers, but it did not deter us from fulfilling our mission of being neighborly with one another. A great small town trait and one of many reasons I have been blessed to call this place home for almost 23 years now! Oh, we have our problems, like any other small town in rural USA, but our blessings abound and are much greater then our woes. Today, if you live in a small town, give a shout out for the goodness you get from living there and try not to focus on what you do not have. Oh, one last thing we four "Long Timers" all had in common as well is, we love our donuts!
Love ya' All & a special shout out goes to my fellow Milledgevillians & Chadwickians, Pastor Rick
