If anyone in the Enville community is looking for fresh farm eggs, that are low cholesterol, you can find brown or green-tobluish-green Araucanian eggs about 1.1 miles off 22-A south at 1260 Carroll Road; just look for the white Fresh Farm Eggs sign. Araucanian eggs, sometimes called Ameraucanas or plain Easter Eggers are better known as the Easter egg. The Enville Volunteer Fire Department will be having their annual Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser along with a cakewalk at 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 13, at the community center. There are reports that six radical groups have been operating in many of our churches. They have been identified as Bin
Sleepin, Bin Arguin, Bin Fightin, Bin Gossipin, Bin Complainin and Bin Missin. Their leader, Lucifer Bin Workin, trained these groups. The plan is to come into the church disguised as Christians and work to discourage, disrupt and destroy. However, there have been reports of a seventh group. A small group, known as, Bin Prayin. Bin Prayin is the only effective counter force in the church. Unlike the other groups, the Bin Prayin group does not blend-in with whatever and whoever comes along. Bin Prayin does whatever is needed to uplift and encourage the Body of Christ. We have noticed that the Bin Prayin group has different characteristics than the others. They have Bin Watchin, Bin Waitin, Bin Fastin, Bin Testifyin, and Bin Longin for their Master, Jesus Christ to return. These groups have been spotted by those who have Bin Goin. As always, remember to pray for the sick, our troops and their families. I hope we choose compassion over indifference; forgiveness over vengeance, and remember to count our blessings and have hope in spite of our circumstances. If you have an event coming up, a birthday, anniversary, or any news, call me at 989-0212 or email me at Envillecommunitynews@ yahoo.com or wildgoosenews@aol.com.
Never leaving their bed a lucky few enjoyed a piano concert over the phone. Playing by ear the caller played two songs on her keyboard for me. After hearing the first song and anxious for the next, it was like playing, “Name That Tune.” Wonder how many Murdell Barker, Betty Dunivan, Jack McAdams, or others guessed correctly, but I’m sure they applauded Loy Jones as she entertained on a Saturday night. For me it was a good-night hug bringing a tender smile - almost as good as momma tucking me into bed with a added kiss. Loy’s mother, Margie Carolyn Bailey McAdams, was musically inclined and raised five kids that could do the same - Ray, Hugh, Gayle, Clyde and Jim toetapped while Toby, Jack, Ruth, Betty and Loy played instruments and sang. As I drifted off to sleep I had a song in my heart, just like Lawrence Welk desired. Thanks for the memory, Loy. It still lingers, so I felt the urge to share the news. Sheila Lott Ryals is raving about all the great information in her Unity Cemetery Book, “Gone, But Not Forgotten.” In her research, genealogist Glenda Nobles Parchman has found unmarked graves, some of which are Ryals! She researches death certificates and adds vital information with hopes of helping families find their lost loved ones. Her dedication instills you are right, whether you think you can or think you can’t! It’s all in the attitude and effort. Glenda thought she could help
others find loved ones, so she went digging. She leaves a legacy that shows success! Glenda finished two cemetery books (a Unity and a City of Henderson), and now has excitedly started a Friendship cemetery book. When she walks the cemetery and finds initials, she wants to know the name for the initials. If years are listed, she digs for month and day. She wants to know their birthday. Glenda knows every person buried had a story. She tried hard to tell it with facts found. Every paid obit contains vital information that can be passed down from one generation to the next. You pay for what you get. Aren’t our loved ones worth it? Isn’t everyone due a monument? Pops Grill opened last week. Ricky and Kathy Tignor Belew and Don and I headed toward Mifflin. Preston Wade earned a good tip for serving hot delicious foods to us. We wish Mark Daniel and his staff the best in their new location. Guess Damon and Tina Ross, Tommy and Regina Tignor, and Danny and Janice Goodwin haven’t heard of “eating in moderation.” Blackberry cobbler doesn’t count in moderation, does it? A year ago, we had 6-13 inches of snow on the ground, so you couldn’t plant an early garden, but so far only snow flurries are predicted this week followed by higher temperatures. Spring gardens are just around the corner. Happy thoughts are being sent to Marsheila Lott; she was able to attend church. Jane Bailey Morris says Bruce Morris is almost ready to go back to work, and Lance Bailey’s dog needs petting while Lance is recovering. Don’s dogs don’t need petting, while he’s back piddling with his tractor, I take care of that.
I hope everyone had a nice week and enjoyed the better weather recently. It has been a hard week for the Goffs. They were able to operate on Granny’s leg Wednesday, but they almost lost her just as they finished. She is stable at this time. Please keep her in your prayers and we appreciate all the prayers, phone calls and visits from my pastor Bro. Paul Roaten and his wife Betty. I want to apologize to Jeremy and Nicole Evans. Their anniversary is March 1 and I didn’t get it in last week. I hope you had a wonderful anniversary. Happy birthday Cecil Murley on March 5 (no he didn’t have a birthday already this year). I had the wrong date reported to me and he corrected me at church the next Sunday. Hope you have a great day. Please continue to remember our sick this week: Jean Murley, Winna Knipper, Gloria Blankenship, Larry Privett, Angela Benfield, Teresa Colbert, Earl Mainers, Peggy Weaver, Raymell and Jim Barnett. Please add Jeremy Evans’ dad, Dennis Evans, to you
list. I talked to Jeremy this morning and he is having a serious medical situation. We wish him the best care and recovery. My cousin Jacky Melton in Chicago has been in really bad health lately. He is doing well in a rehab facility now. Nancy Turner, niece to Doris Siler and Winna Knipper is in serious condition and we want to remember her. She lives in Kentucky. Jean Murley is doing much better and I talked to Gloria Blankenship’s daughter and she is doing well right now. If you have anyone to add to our prayer list, please call me. Remember our shut-ins and elderly. Give them a call or visit. I’m sure they would appreciate it. Also, remember the families that have lost loved ones, may God be ever at your side and grant that each new day will bring its gift of brighter hours. The Ladies Sunday School Class at Bethel Baptist Church has been invited to a brunch at Betty Roaten’s home at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, March 6. If you are part of this class, come and enjoy the fellowship and good food. Quote of the week: These, then, are my last words to you: Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living. And your belief will help create the fact. – William James Have a great week. Call me at 983-0522 with your news, sickness, birthdays, anniversaries, events, etc.
