November 14, 2007	$6.00	$18.00

The last time, I e-mail Juanita; she told me she was going to mail off our tickets to her sister in Pennsylvania and redeem our winnings. She will buy us more Pennsylvania Power Ball tickets.

So until we get more Power Ball tickets, I can’t post what we might win.

Now if you like playing in Power Ball, I have two games coming up at the end of this month, and you are welcome to play with us.

I will do another update on this game, once I get tickets from Juanita.

Arkansas Funeral

New to the area and as a young minister, I was asked by a funeral director to hold a grave-side service for a homeless man, with no family or friends. The funeral was to be held at a cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first to be laid to rest there.

As I was not familiar with the backwoods of Arkansas, I became lost; and being a typical man did not stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late. I saw the backhoe and the crew, who were eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight.

I apologized to the workers for my tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where I saw the vault lid already in place. I assured the workers I would not hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do. The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch.

I poured out my heart and soul.

As I preached, the workers began to say 'Amen,' 'Praise the Lord,' and 'Glory'! I preached and preached, like I'd never preached before: from Genesis all the way to Revelations. I closed the lengthy service with a prayer and walked to my car. As I was opening the door and taking off my coat, I overheard one of the workers saying to another, 'I ain't never seen anything like that before...

...and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.'
