News From Out West

It is with such sadness that we hear of the passing of Patsy Mobley.

To all of her family we send our love and our prayers.

Patsy was one of the sweetest people I’ve known. Whenever we would talk, she would always tell me, “Sharon, I love you.” She was always there to help anyone who needed it. She always had a big smile on her face.

Patsy, your battle is over and you won the greatest gift, which is to be with the Lord. We love you and will miss you so much. I will miss our monthly calls. May the Lord give strength to all for the days ahead.

Can I say I will be so glad when spring finally springs up and then things start to turn colorful?

Maybe some sunshine will help people feel better and get into better moods. All this moisture in the air sure makes a person hurt all over.

Maybe it is just that I am getting old and don’t handle it very well anymore. LOL!

Really, it seems like everyone is in an angry mood. So many are fighting flu bugs. Let us pray for healing and strength for the days ahead. I am so ready for temperatures above 70.

Birthday and anniversaries for the week include Linda Orick, Janice Reeves, Loretta Payne, Patty and Billy Broyles, and Gloria and David Foster. May the Lord bless your special day with wonderful memories and lots of love.

Briar Missionary Baptist Church on Highway 160 West will be having a special dinner on Feb. 22 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the church.

Lord, touch those who need Your mighty healing of their bodies. Give strength to those who need You to hold them up in all things. Remember God loves you and so do I.
