Richville Rundown

The school is still asking for donations of bottled water for the afternoon ride on the buses because of the hot weather. It can be dropped off at either school. Also, they will take monetary donations to go toward purchasing the water.
Don’t forget that Union Baptist Church will have Homecoming this Sunday, August 16, starting at 10:30 a.m. Chris Crumbley will bring the message, and David Vick will provide the special music. Following the service, there will be a potluck lunch in the fellowship hall. All are invited.
Mark your calendars for the Richville Volunteer Fire Department Bingo next week on August 22, starting at 6:30 p.m. There won’t be another bingo until after football season, so make your plans to be there.
They serve concessions, also, and usually have a cake or two to auction off. Also, it’s time to get your name on the list for those delicious Boston Butts for $35 each. Pickup will be Saturday morning, September 5, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. See any member of the fire department to place your order or contact me, and I will see that you are added to the list.
The 3rd Annual Providence Baptist Church Bass Tournament will be September 19. I don’t have all the details yet, but go ahead and put it on your calendar. I should have details by next week’s column.
This week my Bible verse is about creation of nature. Job 12:7-10 reads, “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.”
God’s handiwork is everywhere we look. The majesty of His creation is hard to grasp just how wondrous it is, how everything works together to create this wonderful world we live in.
Sometimes when we get caught up in all the hustle and bustle of life, we just need to take a step back and look around us to “smell the roses.” If you want to know about God, look around you at all the diversity of the earth.
Job tells us that knowing God is so simple that even the animals know it. It is us humans that try to make it difficult. I think about a song I learned as a child, “He’s got the Whole World in His Hands!” So, whatever happens to our world or us, it is all part of God’s plan.
Pray, also, for others that have lost loved ones in our community, as well as those that are ill. Remember the shut-ins in our community, as well. They don’t just need our prayers, but can benefit from visits, also, even if it’s just a phone call.
