Howdy!
Proverbs 11:16, "A gracious woman attains honor".
I asked my class this morning if they could name someone who they considered to be a gracious woman. The first response was… Mamie Smitherman. Yeah… I can agree with that. Mamie has been gone about 5 years now but I still remember the small crowd of women who would surround her after church every service to visit with her. Of course Mamie had a handicap and couldn’t get around very well. I guess it was her goodness that attracted so many to her. Although her witty humor was an attraction too.
You know it doesn’t take long to forget people who haven’t lived well but a gracious woman, like Mamie, is hard to forget. Our lives are richer because of her and people like her.
We announced Wednesday night that we didn’t have enough handicapped parking spaces and some of our elderly members who can only attend Sunday morning worship services were having to park at the back of the parking lot. We requested that until we can designate more handicapped parking that the rest of us not park so close to the building.
Thanks for leaving those spaces open this morning. Rock on!

From Donna Morgan…
I’ve been at the hospital with Victoria since Saturday night.　 She delivered her baby boy today.　 So far both are doing well.　 He was 3 pounds 3 ounces, and just over 16" long.　 He will be in the Infant ICU at Spohn South until he is big enough to go home.　 Thanks to everyone for their prayers and well wishes.

Leah Waters’ daughter Alia was in a traffic accident but is doing OK.
Last week I mention we had three surfers in the congregation… Joe, Trey and Cody. Add two to that number… Jeff Carr and Brian Snively. I’m thinking about taking lessons so I can "hang 10" with those guys.
