Development Council
Congratulations
& Best Wishes to
the Bride & Groom
Winslow Community Development Council wishes to thank everyone
who helped to make “Squirrel’s Night Out” a success. Three movies
were shown at the Ball Park in June, July, and August to a very appreciative audience.
August 21, 2009 Mayor Randy Jarnagan joined Melissa Lynn Goss and
Brandon Aaron-Kyle Scoville in marriage. The
setting
for the event was the Winslow Depot Pavilion in
downtown Winslow.
We wish to thank the City Council for allowing us to use the Ball Park,
the ladies from Community Meals for providing an excellent concession
stand, and Larry Buell for the use of his sound system and expertise. Our
thanks also go to Tom Burroughs or the use of his projector and his time,
along with Nick Nicholson, Steve Anderson, Jim Taylor, Kristian Underwood, and Jerry Kidder for up the movie. Liz Underwood and Stephanie
Burroughs did a great job on the posters. Stephanie arranged the corporate sponsorships. Barbara Ashbaugh and Mary Anderson manned the
gate. The Fire Department generously used their sign to advertise the
movie. Jo Ann Kyle lent her expertise and support. So many others gave
their time and support, and to all of we are grateful.
The bride wore a strapless empress
waisted A-line gown with a short
train carried by Ayra Scoville.
William Goss, the bride’s grandfather, walked her down the aisle.
The couple was attended by
Robin Jenkins, Maid of Honor,
Jeremy Scoville, as his brother’s
Best Man, and Dasha Turley as
the Flower Girl.
The parents of the bride are Teresa
Goss and the late Dennis Goss of
Lavaca. Parents of the groom are
Ron Scoville of Winslow and Christine
Lily of West Fork.
We also wish to thank our corporate sponsors for their assistance: WalMart, Target, Campfire Marshmallows, Malco, and the Walton Art Center.
Most of all, we want to thank our friends and neighbors for coming out on
Saturday evening to enjoy an evening together.
Debbie Brown and Jennifer Henderson did a fabulous job of
co-ordinating the wedding, decorating the Pavillon , baking
& decorating the cake, and organizing the event. Thanks so
much for everything you did.

SANDY’S SNIPPETS
Jax and Ruff get along fine unless Fen feels his macho
sensibilities have been challenged by Ruff over some egregious offense like entering the home or partaking of a treat.
Then Jax feels obliged to give the little upstart a nip to restore proper order.
READER ALERT: Just a warning to readers, lest there is
any doubt at this point, this fill-in column will not be about
science, or even logic. It is primarily a light-hearted column
about current events, life on the mountain, television (especially my favorite reality TV programs) and other flotsam
and jetsam of life.
In addition to the furkids, I’ll doubtless talk about human
members of the family including my great-niece Rosslyn. I
recently returned to northeast Arkansas for her 1st birthday
party. We sometimes overlook the degree of influence we
have upon the young and the important moral obligation we
have to help mold and shape the character of these future
adults.
To that end, while visiting, I taught her to throw back her
tiny little head and howl like a wolf! I’ll have to visit northern Ohio for future training, as her mother is now in medical school. But I intend to in October to welcome Baby de
Rossi’s newborn sister to the world. We shall both enjoy
instilling in her the merits of an unorthodox life.
Your favorite logician will doubtless return, seeking a break
from his weighty tome. In the interim, feel free to contact
either of us by emailing [email protected].
By Sandra Trent
Hello old friends in Winslow and environs. I retain many
fond memories of a favorite town and am happy to fill in
for my husband, Lonnie, so he can devote more time to his
latest book.
It has been almost three years since I last wrote Snippets
for another newspaper while serving as managing editor,
and I’m still gratified and somewhat startled when people
remember and ask what I am doing now. I invariably respond, only half-jokingly, “As little as I can get away with.”
AN INTRODUCTION: For those who do not know me,
here is a synopsis:
I live atop Pinnacle Mountain in Madison County in a snug
little yellow cottage with green trim that was built by Lonnie
- aided and hindered by my own efforts. (I still haven’t quite
recovered from that first sheet-rocking debacle. Oh well,
it’s only been 15 years.)
A curving rock sidewalk, constructed by my brother, (again,
with my inexpert assistance) briefly wends its way past two
massive flowerpots, a lilac shrub, a cedar and pine tree before ending at a pond populated by catfish that ultimately
die of old age because of a much-reviled yet nonetheless
strictly-enforced no-fishing ban. Well, they are, after all, a
part of our extended family.
We now have three male dogs, and I often grouse about
being surrounded by too much testosterone.
DOG DAZED: Many of you are all-too familiar with the
pesky Eskie, Fen, who has now entered semi-retirement
and has tamed down considerably. His formidable bark
still startles away the occasional wild interloper while he
lounges on the back doorsteps, but more often than not,
he now prefers supine, air-conditioned comfort.
We also still have Jax, our exquisitely sensitive border
collie, who serves as second-in-command, or, the house
whip. He remains convinced that his primary purpose in
life is to ensure that nothing interferes with the natural order of things. Fen, who is half his size, is to retain alpha
status, despite his dotage, and all would-be usurpers are
to be soundly chastised. Which brings us to Rufus.
Rufus, named by Lonnie and for some reason pronounced
Rough-us, arrived at our doorstep as a hungry, half-grown
puppy of indeterminate breed. Feeding did not endear us
to the unusually skittish mongrel, and it was a good five
months before he even consented to be petted. It was at
least another five months before we could carry something without the terrified canine tyke taking off for the tall
and uncut. Having been a part of the family for almost two
years, he is still frightened by sudden movement and has
yet to learn the concept of simple play like fetch.
I cherish the little mutt. Fen does not. He believes that Ruff
should not even have the right to eat! During mealtimes, to
calm jangled nerves (mine) and cut down on undue bloodshed, Fen and Jax eat inside, and Ruff eats outside the
back door.
DID YOU KNOW?
Winslow Community Meals is not only for the seniors in our
area. All are welcome to enjoy the food and fellowship.
You can get a great deal on a freshly cooked meal. A typical meal consists of an entree, side dishes, bread, dessert
and a drink. All of this for $4.50 per person! The dining
room opens at 10:00 a.m. and dinner is served at 11:45
a.m.
Come in early and get in on a game of dominoes, help put
a puzzle together and visit with your neighbors. Once a
month we have Bingo at 9:30 a.m. with some great prizes.
Winslow Community Meals is not supported by federal
dollars, just by meals sold, donations, fundraisers and, of
course, our hardworking cook and volunteers.
For more information call 634-2800. Thanks!

THE BEGINNING BLOG-AN INTRODUCTION
When we lived in Massachusetts, one neighbor had a huge Great Dane.
Another had a huge yellow Labrador Retriever. We had (thanks to Grandma) a Guinea Pig. One of our favorite Sunday afternoon trips was to a
flea market in Hollis, New Hampshire. During a visit from Grandma, we
all toured the market. She had given the boys each a dollar...after all,
what harm in a dollar each? Time to leave...here came the boys, each
with small paper sacks...Guinea Pig in one, food in the other. Whether to
keep it or not was not discussed. They named it Ivanof since the seller
told them it was a genuine Russian Guinea Pig. For awhile, Ivanof lived
in a small aquarium. This aquarium was so small that one night, as I
watched it try to move around, I became claustrophobic, tearful and depressed. I picked up Ivanof, set him on my lap and began gently rubbing
his back . Grateful, he peed on me. That’s when I decided to find him a
suitable place to live...with us, of course. The thrift store had the answer...
a wooden, two-story playhouse made special just for rodents. From then
on, Ivanof ran and played and squealed for joy...usually in the middle of
the night...all night.
Our European dog was Trish, a Pekinese with a purpose...protector of
the living room window. Any person passing by that window was at risk.
She barked at them all. Trish did this on top of the armchair situated by
the window. One day we were cleaning. The chair was moved, someone
passed by the window and Trish landed on the floor with blurry eyes...
and for a Peek, that can be VERY uncomfortable. Previously, Trish had
been passed from owner to owner. Shipping an animal back to the states
meant a long quarantine period. Shipping plus the cost for boarding her
meant that we, too, would have to pass Trish on to another owner...but
she was a great family member.
A long period of time passed without pets which was fortunate since
many changes took place in my life and there seemed to be no time for
pets. I think back and have decided that having a pet may have made
things easier for us. Oh well.
Then came Barney.
When asked “my favorite thing” on a one-word answer internet quiz,
mine was BREATHING! I had to admit breathing was my favorite, but
being with my dogs ran a close second. There are around fifty here at
Cass’s Canine Rescue and I love them all. Some people think, “What a
crazy broad!” and they’re probably right since a person would have to
be nuts to do what I do...day after day after day...with little or no help,
but there is joy in doing what God intends. Of course, I think that Cass
is sitting right next to God...or at least near the Rainbow Bridge...”nosing
me on.” There will also be Crink, Jill, Barney, Ginger, Buddy and Corker
there too...but that’s for later stories. I do this because I am supposed
to...a simple four-word-answer!
During most of my married life, it seemed there was always at least one
animal around and when not, there was an empty space in the family...maybe that was just my mind...sorry, IN my mind. Governor (Gov)
was a German Shepherd Dog who was a real deal...registered (though
cheap), young and anemic. While my husband and I ate scrambled eggs
and cheap hamburger, Gov ate liver which was OK with me, but hubby
LOVED liver...ah the sacrifices! Gov found a new home when I was pregnant, a waiting wife (H was in Vietnam) and Gov kept turning on the
outside water spicket in the middle of the night. The fact that he killed
a couple of neighborhood chickens and buried them “feet upright” in
neighborhood flower beds sort of sealed his fate.
Dudley (Dud) was a stray whom we adopted. He didn’t fare too well when
pitted against a young bobcat. As a result, he spent most of his time in
the sewer drain near our house and only came out when dinner was
served or when Gov needed “whipping.” He traveled with us on a trip to
Arkansas...under the front seat the whole way...then out the door, never
to be seen again. I’m sure I didn’t clean out the car. Pregnancy has it’s
advantages
The duplex in the Kentucky countryside blessed us with two named stray
dogs and a cat. Leroy, a wonderful Border Collie mix, loved the children
and, being a “herder,” took good care of them. He loved his home and
was always protective of it. Even when we were gone one Christmas. I
worried that he wouldn’t find food or water, but living in the country with a
stream behind the house and good neighbors helped. So there he was,
sitting on the porch when we came back and I was very glad to see him.
We were able to find him a good home before we moved to Arkansas.
Duke, God bless him, came to us dressed in skin so thin that every bone
showed. Leroy was not too glad to see him, but knew he needed my cure
for canine starvation...biscuits and gravy...lots of biscuits and gravy! He
was probably a Hound/Great Dane mix who went on to a grander future after we left Kentucky. He became great friends with a nearly-blind
farmer who needed a companion in the field with his cows. We were told
that Duke even accompanied him up a ladder in his barn. He didn’t tell
us how he descended the ladder...we just assumed he came down the
way he went up.
The cat’s name was Tiger and he tolerated the two dogs. He returned to
Arkansas with us and became Grandma’s cat. She lived in the country
and the countryside had mice. Evidently the mice were good for him
(along with Grandma’s scraps) since he never left her place and lived a
very long time.
There were two or three years when keeping up with two small boys was
the challenge and having a pet was out of the question. However there
was a very short time...an hour or so...when we had a Cocker Spaniel
puppy who loved the baby (sitting on the floor) until the baby screamed
so loudly it scared the puppy into permanent disability...not really. So we
don’t even count that one as part of the family...no time to even name the
poor thing. Yep, name that animal and instantly, it’s a family member!
Except in the case of goldfish. My mother thought that the boys needed
some kind of pet to care for. Her choice was a goldfish, but my dad
thought it was ridiculous that she paid such a price for a fish when he had
perfectly good minnows left from fishing. Of course, the fish bowl was
too small for all the residents and some “expired.” Those left, crossed
the bridge to fish heaven when the boys shared their bowls of oatmeal.
A turtle may have moved into the cleaned-out fishbowl after that, but the
year was such a blur, I can’t remember.
Please check out this blog. It contains stories of my rescue dogs and may
add humor, valuable information, and insight into why I have rescued for
many years.
Save this link and check often. I usually add to the blog on Thursdays
and Sundays.
Thanks
Patty Davis

HELP OUR PETS
There have been several incidents of animals being dumped in
Winslow along Hwy 71. One cat was severely injured and may
not live.
People who do this are usually not from around here. They
wouldn’t discard their own pets in their own neighborhood. There
are options for this cruelty.
If you need or know of someone who needs help with a pet that
isn’t wanted, needs neutered or spayed, or a stray please call the
Humane Society of the Ozarks at 444-7387, or the Fayetteville
Animal Shelter at 444-3456.
If you’re on the Internet, Petfinders.com has a list of shelters and
rescues. The library also has copies of spay/neuter certificates
that veterinarians will do for low or no cost.
Thanks for helping.

Lee Marlin came up from Little Rock with the Farmers disaster response vehicle for people to have a look at it. This
is one of the vehicles they send out to a community after
a major disaster has occurred. It is a way to get Farmers
in close touch with the community to reach out and show
support in a time of great need. With the ability to assess
the situation and print out checks on the spot Farmers was
able to get money in hand to the people who needed it the
most.

The West Fork office is a branch of the Thomas R. Frisbie
agency in Prairie Grove. Mr .Frisbie said he was attracted
to opening a branch in West Fork for several reasons. The
town was previously without an insurance agency and he
likes small towns. He said Farmers offers several products
that might interest rural customers; mobile home, motorcycle and boats are a few of the products.
The agent in charge of the West Fork branch is Ava Turley.
She has deep roots in the community having grown up in
Winslow and been an employee of the West Fork Schools
for almost ten years. She is now living out by Devils Den
State Park with her husband of 24 years enjoying nature.
Gardening, swimming, reading and playing with her grandchildren are among her favorite hobbies. She is a trained
insurance professional formerly with AFLAC. Her goal: “to
help as many people in the community as possible not only
to be insured ,but to understand why they need it, and exactly what they have. “ I have always enjoyed meeting new

FARMER’S MARKET
By Ginger Fritch
Each Saturday morning quite a group gathers down town
to sell their wares at the
Farmer’s Market.
There are all kinds of
fresh produce, flowers, cakes, cookies,
and sometimes just
plain ”stuff”, but always friendly people
whether they are buying or selling. Some
venture over to the
Winslow Museum or
the
Mercantile for
coffee and
donuts, and
on down to
the Broke

what great

are creating

August just flew by. Where, oh where, does the time go?
School has begun, and now the grayhairs (like me) are on
the move. The weather has been so great this last month
that we’ve all enjoyed it. Some of our past Septembers
have been horribly hot.
Anyone living on or near Highway 71 can attest to the fact
that the cyclists and the bikers love this highway. They are
out in force on the weekends. It’s a whole different scene
from what we experienced before I-540 came into being
and that’s what people love about the area.
Work on the upcoming Fiber Arts Fair is going on all the
time. It takes a lot of effort to put something like this on,
and we are getting a lot of help with it. Look for flyers and
posters around town about the event and plan to come on
September 19th. Fleeta’s Famous Chicken ‘N’ Dumplin’s
will be on the cook shack menu. There will be spinners,
weavers, hookers, quilters and other demonstrations onsite. Also, a fiber arts competition will be part of the event
with $1500.00 available for winning work. Call me for information if interested in putting your work in this competition
and I’ll send an entry form.
Velda Brotherton is having a writers’ workshop September
26th and the class is filling up fast. It begins at 9:00 a.m.
and pre-registration is required. Anyone interested in this
class, and it’s a good one, should get in touch right away.
While many people
are downtown on
Saturday morning for
our Fabulous Farmer’s Market, another

the Mercantile to visit
and catch up on all
September 12th is the date set for the next basketry workshop. Freda Miller is teaching this workshop and is wellknown in the area for the artistry of her designs. She will
not be having another class until next spring, so now is the
time to learn to make some great Christmas baskets.
Thanks to Libby Karnes for arranging some wonderful help
in preparing the grounds for the fair, to Becky Buchanan
for overseeing this team and for all her help in many other
ways. So many folks to thank for all they do to assist this
worthwhile operation that I can’t possibly name them all.

With Frosty Fender
The Frosty Fender “Disposable Windshield Cover” delivers a very convenient and affordable solution to a common problem: an easy,
time-saving method for removal of frost, snow and ice from the windshields of all vehicles in less than 20 seconds.
Made of 1.0 mil polyethylene plastic, the covers are packaged in boxes of six each to carry in a vehicle. When the
vehicle is parked, a cover can be pulled from the box and placed on the windshield. Dropping specifically designed tabs
inside the vehicle and closing the doors on them secures the cover.
Then, accumulated frost, snow and ice can be removed easily—almost instantly—by removing the cover from the
windshield. The cover is then disposed of and a clean, fresh one is removed from the box the next time the vehicle is
parked.
This product will save consumers 10 to 30 minutes spent removing frost, snow and ice from windshields using other
methods. It will also save on fuel consumed by vehicle engines left running to heat up the windows before and during
the usual scraping ordeal.
The Frosty Fender product can be used to remove snow and ice, however the primary use will be frost removal.
Travellers, rental-vehicle users, workers who must park in uncovered lots—virtually anyone who drives when frost, ice
and snow can accumulate on a parked vehicle can easily grasp how convenient, easy-to-use Frosty Fender disposable
windshield covers can dramatically reduce the hassles of dealing with an irritating problem.
The Frosty Fender disposable windshield cover requires about two minutes to put on and 10 seconds to remove. The
windshield is then free of frost, snow or ice.
Because Frosty Fender covers the entire windshield, the temptation to just scrape a small area is eliminated and good
practices on meeting visibility requirements are more easily met.

By Ginger Fritch
The Day of Independence is celebrated City-Wide now, lots
of people shooting off fire works and various things, but
around 3 PM or so people start gathering down at the ball
park for the turtle races, horseshoe tournaments, bingo,
food and good music. Around nine, the great fireworks display begins and after that everyone goes home.
Turn back the clock about 70 years or more and people
celebrated a bit differently in Winslow and the surrounding
areas.
Don’t Miss This Sale!!
First of all, it wasn’t a one-day celebration; it was an entire
week. People loaded up their wagons and headed for Cole
Springs (Devil’s Den to you of the younger generation),
pitched camp and got ready for a week of fun and games.
My late father-in-law, Cecil Fritch, had a portable dance
floor that he took out. There was always plenty of musical talent handy. Anyone who wanted, just started playing,
and many more joined in, rotated, or whatever, but the music went on ‘til way into the night. Of course, most of the
women had been baking for a week to get ready for all this.
A campfire at every wagon had something cooking all the
time. People got visit with friends and relatives they may
not have seen for months.
A Senior Moment
Two elderly people were living in a Port Charlotte Retirement
Community, He was a widower and she a widow, they had known
each other for a Number of years. One evening there was a community supper in the big arena in the Clubhouse.
The two were at the same table, across from one another.
As the meal went on, he took a few admiring glances at her and
Finally gathered the courage to ask her, “Will you marry me ? :
After about six seconds of ‘careful consideration,’ she answered
Yes;,.. Yes;,.. I will !
The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant exchanges, they Went to their respective places.
Next morning, he was troubled. ‘ Did she say ‘ YES ‘ or did she say
NO ? ‘
Every morning around 10:00 Cecil Fritch would harness up
his team, hitch them to the wagon and head for Woolsey to
meet the noon train. He’d get 4 big barrels of ice cream (35
– 40 gallons); cover them with quilts and head back to Cole
Springs as fast as those horses could run. By the time he
got back, there were long lines formed. They started dishing up ice cream and never looked up until it was all gone.
What a treat! And a great celebration!
He couldn’t remember. Try as he might, he just could not recall.
Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the
Telephone and called her;. First, he explained that he didn’t
Remember as well as he used to;. Then he reviewed the lovely
Evening past. As he gained a little more courage, he inquired, ‘
When I asked if you would marry me, did you say ‘ Yes ‘ or Did
you say ‘ No ‘ ?
He was delighted to hear her say, ‘Why, I said, ‘ Yes, yes I will.’
And I meant it with all my heart.’ Then she continued, ‘ And I Am
so glad that you called, because I couldn’t remember who had
Asked me.’

‘In God we Trust?’ ‘Yes!’ ‘And?’
The Pastor’s Pen
‘And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin.
Whenever I find a coin, I see that inscription. It is written on every
single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it! God
drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him. Who
am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my
trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the coin up as a response to
God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as
if it were gold. I think it is God’s way of starting a conversation with
me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful!
You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I’ve ever
heard this twist on the story. Gives you something to think about.
When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk.
I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying
and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the
words, ‘In God We Trust,’ and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the
message.
Several years ago, a lady named Arlene and her husband were
invited to spend the weekend at the husband’s employer’s home.
Arlene, was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very
wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more
than her house.
It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies
in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is
patient. The best mathematical equation I have ever seen:
Subject: Penny
The first day and evening went well, and Arlene was delighted to
have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The husband’s employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to
the finest restaurants. Arlene knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely.
1 cross
+ 3 nails
-------4 given
As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant
that evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of Arlene and
her husband. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement
for a long, silent moment.
Arlene wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was
nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts . Still silent, the man
reached down and picked up the penny.
NOTICE
He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found
a great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a
single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick
it up?
YOUR INHERITANCE
IS WAITING
AND UNCLAIMED.
Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she
could stand it no longer. She casually mentioned that her daughter
once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found
had been of some value.
A smile crept across the man’s face as he reached into his pocket
for the penny and held it out for her to see. She had seen many
pennies before! What was the point of this?

‘Look at it.’ He said. ‘Read what it says.’
She read the words ‘ United States of America.’
‘No, not that; read further.’
‘One cent?’ ‘No, keep reading.’

Ministry Partners Newsletter
Thanks to all of you who have been praying for us as we travel
and minister in music in our worship concerts. We’ve come
off of two great tours this summer, and have met and visited
with some wonderful people. Our time following our worship
concerts has been filled with sharing and praying for the needs
of folks who attended, and we know the Lord has touched and
blessed so many. Praise God for His faithfulness in meeting their needs and touching them with His presence. May all
glory and honor be given to our Lord Jesus Christ.
We discovered while traveling this summer that, yes, the
Comforter has come (the Holy Spirit), but a. we need an air
mattress to tent camp, because twenty years later we can no
longer sleep on the ground, and b. we need double sleeping
bags, a blanket, and a down comforter to keep from freezing
while camping in Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming,
and South Dakota, even in the middle of the summer. We
discovered personally that this has to be the coldest summer
in decades, with temperatures at night consistently dropping
into the 40’s and low 50’s, actually hitting 40 degrees in Wyoming. By golly, we saved at least $300 on motel rooms though!
Brrrrr! So if you think about it, now might be the time to start
praying for a nice bus for us to travel in – lol. Seriously, we
do enjoy hiking and camping, and we saw some of the most
beautiful places in America.
We have some exciting news regarding the book. Last Friday
we received an email from the publisher sending us the cover
art and layout for our approval. We sent back the okay on Saturday, and Thursday, August 20th, we received another email
requesting some local news organization information for press
releases coming out soon. We also found out the book is being released on October 17th. So as of that date, if you’re so
inclined, you can go to your local bookstore, and order Devotions For Couples On The Grow if they don’t have it in stock. It
could make a great Christmas gift, for your wife, or your married or about to be married kids. It’ll be a blessing, because
the Lord inspired it.
It’s always an honor and a privilege to carry the saving message of the love and grace of Jesus to those we get to sing
for. We deem it a sacred trust, and feel the obligation to fulfill
the faith so many of you have placed in us, and we appreciate
your steadfast prayer support as we minister. Without your
prayers, we’re just a couple of people serving the Lord without
the real power that comes from the combined faith of many
believers. For that prayer support, we thank you, and we pray
God’s outpouring of blessings of every kind, and His eternal
favor, be upon you. We pray it in the powerful and matchless
name of Jesus.
Love and Grace in Christ,
Gary & Glenda Baltrusch

2. Develop A Budget
According to current statistics, it could take a minimum of
nine months to acquire another
job, so it certainly is fitting to get
on a household budget, especially
if you have not had one in the
ately acquire the documents you
need to receive your government
or state unemployment remuneration.
Stewardship is a total lifestyle. It involves our health, time, talents,
environment, relationships, spirituality and finances.
“It is not sufficiently realized that work is a
great, if not the greatest, factor in keeping us
well.” — Paul Dudley White
1. Current Benefits
From the job you are leaving,
you may have a variety of unemployment benefits, such as a lump
