This summer, June 14th - 18th from 9 a.m. until noon, bring your kids entering K - leaving 6th grade to SonQuest Rainforest VBS at First Baptist - Booneville. Adventurers will explore five parables told by Jesus that will make a difference in their lives every day.

On Day 1 - kids will GET IT! as they hear the truths of the Parable of the Sower.

On Day 2 - kids will GET FOUND! as they hear Jesus tell the Parable of the Lost Sheep.

On Day 3 - kids will GET GOD'S LOVE! as they listen to the Parable of the Good Samaritan and be inspired to share God's immeasurable love with others.

"Should I watch this movie or the other one?" "Should I eat a slice of watermelon for dessert or chocolate pie?" "Should I play on the computer or do my homework?"
Every day we make a lot of choices - some good and some BAD! Our choices follow us and may lead us down wrong paths.

This summer - every Wednesday from May 12th - August 11th - (or until school starts back), we will be studying about CHOICES in Kids' Club from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. in the Game Room area. Kids' Club is for children ages K - 6th grade.

A volcanic mountain in Iceland is named “Eyjafjallajokull.” Since I can’t pronounce the name, I decided to write about the mountain in this column instead of mentioning it in a sermon. The name means “island mountain glacier.” The mountain is one of 130 such mountains in Iceland, which is located on the fault line between the Eurasian and North American Plates.

Of the making of diets, there is no end. New diets are constantly appearing, and almost all of them create some ripple. They are guaranteed to give us victory in our perpetual battle of the bulge.

One of the new diets is the Garlic Diet. It doesn’t actually make you lose weight, but it makes people stand farther away from you so that you look smaller. Then, there is the Italian Pasta Diet. On this diet, you hafta walk pasta de pie, you hafta walk pasta de candy, pasta de ice cream, etc.

The Major League Baseball season is now underway, and with it the hopes and dreams of all of us fans whose teams have never won a pennant. My Texas Rangers have never won a World Series since they came into existence. In fact, they have never even won a playoff game.

Erik and Erin Dukes have four boys, all of whom are 7 years of age and younger. I suggested one time that if they had another boy then a few years from now they could all be playing high school basketball for the Booneville Blue Devils, and we could call them the “Duke Blue Devils.” Since Erik is a North Carolina fan, he was not inspired by the idea.

When you are around these four Dukes, if you are quiet enough you can actually hear them growing. They are not only growing in stature, but also in wisdom and in favor with God and man.
