Forgotten Man Ministries

Thursday evening I attended the Forgotten Man Ministries Banquet at Bauer CRC. A delicious dinner was prepared by Beechwood Inn Restaurant. Information was given about the Ottawa County Jail. Two inmates spoke of their time at the jail and how the Bible class helped to show them a better way to live. The jail has a host of volunteers, men and women, who bring the Good News of the Gospel each week. Our County Sheriff allows the volunteers to come in. Not every jail allows this. They thank God for this privilege. Not everyone changes their live but thank God for those who do. It was a worthwhile time spent.

THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY

Think of life as a good book. The further you get into it,

the more it begins to make sense.

TIP FOR TUESDAY

I am back from a few days at Mears camp grounds with family and friends.

My tip is for cleaning the lint from my sewing machine. A well washed and dried mascara brush will clean bobbin and shuttle carriers in the sewing machine. It fits into those tight places and you can twist it around to pick up lint. Works for me!

Take the perfumed sample paper inserts from magazines and tuck them into your lingerie drawers, clothing or linen closets, and with your stationery and greeting cards for free aschets.

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.

Live your life in such a manner that when you die the

world cries and you rejoice.

TIP FOR TUESDAY

When you want only one slice of onion for a burger or other sandwich, there is no need to peel the whole onion. Slice through the middle of the onion, cut off one slice, put the two parts back together, then wrap or seal in a plastic bag and refrigerate.

We spent some time at the Chateau Chantal Vineyard - Winery - B & B in Traverse City last week. We had a sunny day and vineyard was beautiful. We went with my two brothers and their wives and we had a great time.

LABOR DAY

Hope you're enjoying Labor Day with family and friends. Summer is past; autumn/fall will soon be here. We have a few trees turning fall colors already. Seems good to have the weather a little cooler.
We are off to Traverse City for a few days with family. Stay safe and enjoy the day.

THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY

If we can't be thankful for what we receive,

we should be thankful for what we escape.
