Leroy Hall Dear Friends, The Bible says “Because they have forsaken me and burned incense to other Gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore my wrath will be poured outon this place, and not be quenched”. 1 Chronicles 34:25. Both Deuteronomy and Leviticus had long lists of blessings for obedience and curses for rebellion, which were part of the conditions attached to the covenant with Israel. In all of life, no greater sin, no more serious or sadder error could be made than to forsake God and believe other Gods. Such an act cuts one off from all of the loving care, wisdom, and discipline of the creator God. Apostasy grieves God, and it grieves those who love God. Mercy, grace, and love are always available to us, for the Lord is always available to us. GEORGIA, TALIAFERRO COUNTY Notice To Debtors And Creditors All creditors of the Estate #23-143, Alfred David Cochran, deceased, are hereby notified to render their demands to the undersigned according to law, and all person indebted to said estate are required to make immediate payment. This 18th day of June 2024. Tanya Francine Cochran 4032 Silas Mercer Lane Crawfordville, GA 30631 28jun4p IN THE PROBATE COURT OF TALIAFERRO COUNTY STATE OF GEORGIA IN RE: ESTATE OF MARY RAMEY DARDEN, DECEASED Estate #20-84 FINAL ORDER The foregoing petition for discharge of PATTI LEONA DARDEN ORR as Executor was filed. The court finds that no objection has been filed and all and requirements of law have been fulfilled. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that petitioner(s) be, and is /are hereby, discharged (a) solely for office, or _CCS_(b) from office and all liability So ordered this 26th day of June, 2024 Clarris C, Stephens Judge of the Probate Court 5j u 11 c Dodger “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?” (Romans 7:24 NIV) In my daughter’s neighborhood lives a dog who is a major pest. Dodger wants you, or anyone within his vision, to throw a stick for him over and over and over. Don’t dare pick up the slimy piece of wood he drops at your feet. He will dance around you and try to entice you to play his game, but don’t give in, or you’re stuck! Some nights my brain acts like Dodger when I try to fall asleep. I cannot seem to stop thinking about this or that. Give an inch and my daughter’s neighborhood fetcher will take a mile. So will my frenzied thoughts, if I let them. Kimberly Jones reminded me from her book, You Gotta Get Up, “God trusted you with your mess so you can impact others with His message.” The Holy Spirit works in and through me at the perfect time and in the perfect way to serve in His kingdom. He shines so others will see Him in my mistakes. When you can relate to me, you can relate to God. That is what God Sightings are all about! Humans struggle with the same things. God orchestrates our lives to remind us that we are not alone. He created us for community, not isolation. We all suffer with messes and failures that might threaten to keep us up at night. A mind focused on Jesus will find rest. Instead of trying to be everything to everyone, to control and order upcoming events and activities, my heavenly Father calls me to breathe, focus on Him, and relax in a peaceful, calm sleep in His arms. I will dodge the distractions and reach for my heavenly Father today. I hope you will, too! Connect with Macy at www. macymjohnson.com, email macymjohnson@gmail.com.

How about some How to play the water bucket game? You will need two buckets, one filled with water and a big sponge. At the front of the line have a bucket full of water and a sponge. The first player fills the sponge with water and runs across the yard to squeeze the water into the empty bucket. The player then returns to the first bucket and hands off the sponge to the next player. This is repeated until the players fill the second bucket with water. This game can be timed to see how long it takes the players to fill the second bucket or if there are enough players to make two teams, the team that fills the second bucket first is declared the winner. Greensboro First Presbyterian to Host Hymn Shout-Out Psalm 66 says, “Shout for joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name. ” That special something at a community Shout-Out. That is exactly what The First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro will be doing Sunday, July 21 at 5:00 pm, and EVERYONE in our community is invited to attend this joyous event. The church will be hosting an old-fashioned Hymn Shout- Out...also known as a hymn sing...and we will be using the old Cokesbury Hymnal to praise God and give thanks. Everyone attending is asked to find one of their favorite hymns in the Cokesbury Hymnal - a hymnal used by previous generations of fellow believers - and “shout out” that hymn’s page number. After everyone in the congregation has a few moments to turn to that page, everyone in attendance will make a joyful noise and sing that hymn together as one body. Please join us on Sunday, July 21 at 5:00 pm as we joyfully pay tribute to God and to those who have gone before us as we sing traditional hymns - hymns that were so meaningful and precious to our grandparents and those who came before them. If your heart longs for the hymns of old, this is an event you will not want to miss. The First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro is located at 117 South Main Street (next to the post office) in downtown Greensboro.

Preamble to the Declaration of Independence We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Nations come into being in many ways. Military rebellion, civil strife, acts of heroism, acts of treachery, a thousand greater and lesser clashes between defenders of the old order and supporters of the new-all these occurrences and more have marked the emergences of new nations, large and small. The birth of our own nation included them all. That birth was unique, not only in the immensity of its later impact on the course of world history and the growth of democracy, but also because so many of the threads in our national history run back through time to come together in one place, in one time, and in one document: the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence states the principles on which our government, and our identity as Americans, are based. Unlike the other founding documents, the Declaration of Independence is not legally binding, but it is powerful. Abraham Lincoln called it “a rebuke and a stumbling-block to tyranny and oppression.” It continues to inspire people around the world to fight for freedom and equality. water fun in the back yard!
