One of the great benefits of being retired is the time I can spend doing nothing but thinking. Some of thesethoughts have been returning along with my late evenings insomnia. No phone calls regarding these subjects,

please. They are simply some of my random thoughts.1. The Federal definition of poverty for a family of three is now $47,700 a year. For a work year of

2,200 hours that comes out to a job earning $21.68 per hour. I wonder why that is defined as poverty.2. I recently read that for all births given by 30 year olds and younger, 50% are now out of wedlock. I

wonder why this is happening and who is paying for the results.

3. One of the groups demanding that the cross be taken down from Mount Soledad in San Diego is theJewish war veterans. I wonder when was the last time the Christian war veterans demanded that the

Ten Commandants be taken down from any government building.4. A grandmother was recently a victim of bullying while she was serving as a bus monitor. I wonder if

the administration will legislate a ban on grandmother bullying.5. The secretary of defense recently proudly announced that June 21 was national recognition for

LGBT members of the military. I wonder when he will proudly announce a national recognition day

for straight members of our armed forces.

Patriotic Greetings from the Outreach Team! Hooray for the Red White and Blue

and One Nation Under God!!

Summer is here and I hope that each of you who are reading this is having a great summer, filled with

quiet time reserved for God as well as special time with family and friends. It is important to seek outquiet times, as it is in these times the Lord is ready with open arms and a listening ear.

I hope that you were able to enjoy the Outreach goodies at church during the month of June. We felt itwas time to GIVE back to all of you as you have been so generous to help us in our monthlyprojects. We also wanted to give Jerry Garwick some time off as he has graciously provided many ofus with breakfast for a very long time. Thank you again Jerry.

June 27th we distributed summer toys, games, and books to the children of families coming to theFood Bank. We started this project last year and it was so successful that I thought we should continuethis summer as well. Thank you's go out to all who helped out with this project. Summer can be verylong for some of our mountain children , so the little gifts were a welcome surprise. I am reminded overand over again that mission work is important in our community and this was a wonderful way to bringsome extra fun to some of our "neighbor children."

The Outreach project for July will be the collection of School Supplies. School starts up in mid Augustso this project fits in well for our July 25th distribution at the Food Bank. This was a huge success lastsummer. Please be on the look out for school supplies and leave them in the box labeled SCHOOLSUPPLIES that is in the narthex. You can leave them there until the 22nd of July. School supplies addup, especially if a family has a large number of children, so any help with this project will be money wellspent.

I am still volunteering at Wish - i Ah and loving it. I am still hoping that some of you might also be

Health Matters: First Aid Kit

As a young mother of three active kids and the aunt of four more, I encountered many skinnedknees, cuts, scrapes and other minor injuries. My family members tested my resilience by holdinga smashed thumb, gaping wound or other trauma about 3 inches from my face. They just wantedto see if I would jump in horror from the latest wound. I didnt flinch and they finally learned howto take a less dramatic approach with their own families.

For the less lethal injuries, I usually had bandaids in my handbag. That may not be the case withh d d d h h I bl d Fi Aid Ki k i h ffi f J l 1

One Sunday morning, a mother went in

to wake her son and tell him it was time

to get ready for church, to which he

replied, Im not going.

Why not? she asked. Ill give you twogood reasons, he said. (1). They dont

like me, and (2), I dont like them.

His mother replied, Ill give you two

good reasons why you SHOULD go to

church: (1) Youre 59 years old, and (2)

youre the pastor!
