Minister’s Comer
The Man of God’s own
choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with
devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God
hath willed
His truth to triumph through
us:
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly
powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are
ours
Through Him who with us
sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.”
Tatum retires at Fellowship Presbyterian
On July 31 at Fellowship
Presbyterian Church, ECO a
reception was held to cele
brate Sandy Tatum. The oc
casion was to mark Sandy’s
retirement after 17 years as
secretary to FPC. Fellowship
Hall was brimming with a
joyous gathering of mem
bers, family, friends and
well-wishers all coming to
thank our dear friend Sandy
and wish her well. The room
was filled with laughter,
hugs, recollections and a few
tears.
During the 10 worship
service preceding this recep
tion, Pastor Blake Hudson
spoke for us all when he said;
“Today, we say farewell and
thank you to Sandy Tatum,
our long time secretary,
church administrator, part-
time counselor, and friend.
For every moment of her
time here with us, Sandy has
done everything asked of her,
and more. She has kept the
office running and the church
moving by being the connec
tive glue between our elders,
pastors, and people here at
Fellowship Presbyterian
Church. For everything she's
done for us, we give her great
thanks.
But perhaps even more
importantly is how she has
conducted herself through
the years. She doesn't just get
things done, she gets them
done with love. She has mod
eled the fruits of the Spirit in
her interactions, extending
kindness and compassion to
everyone that calls her up,
asks something of her, or has
a question. She has been pa
tient and gentle and worked
to get things done, not be
cause it's a job, but because
she loves Jesus, and knows
we do, too. She has been a
partner with us in Christ's
ministry here at FPC, and
that is a gift we can only
repay in eternity. So, thank
you, Sandy. And even though
you belong to the Methodists
down the road, you're part of
us now, too.”
Dear Sandy, we hope you
and John enjoy your family
and travel in retirement. See
you soon.

amazed at what happens

concerns are encountered.
Set in large measure in the
environs of coastal Georgia,
these stories are often humor
ous, sometimes profound, but
all speaking to the human
condition. Frank earned a
bachelor’s degree in psychol
ogy as well as master’s de
grees in education and
divinity. For 20 years he
served on the faculty of what
is now Kennesaw State Uni

August 7-August 13
August 7th:
On this day in 1938, Brooklyn Dodgers
shortstop, Leo Durocher, hit the 2,000th
home run in franchise history. This took place
in the second game of a doubleheader with
the Cincinnati Reds as Durocher smacked a
two-run blast in the bottom of the eighth.
Brooklyn scored four unanswered times in
that frame before rallying to win, 6-3.
August 8th:
On this day in 1922, the Pittsburgh Pirates
set the major league record for combined hits
in a doubleheader with 46. The team that got
victimized was Pittsburgh’s intrastate rivals,
the Philadelphia Phillies. The Bucs racked up
27 hits in Game one, jumped out to a 7-0 lead
and never looked back in the 19-8 blowout.
Game two saw Pittsburgh’s offense collect
another 19 and score four consecutive fifth
inning runs en route to a 7-3 win.
August 9th:
On this day in 1975, the Louisiana Super-
dome hosted its first-ever NFL game, which
was a preseason encounter between the
hometown Saints and Houston Oilers. The
Oilers won, 13-7, ending the first of many
events that took place in this state-of-the-art
facility. Since its creation, the Superdome has
hosted seven Super Bowls and five NCAA
Men’s Basketball championship games. The
dome will host Super Bowl LIX, its eighth
overall, in 2025.
August 10th:
On this day in 1934, Babe Ruth an
nounced that the current season would be his
last as a full-time player. Ruth completed the
’34 campaign with 22 homers and 84 RBIs in
125 games. He also posted a 0.288 average
with 105 hits and 104 walks. It was also
Ruth’s last season as a Yankee as he spent the
final year of his career with the Boston
Braves.
August 11th:
On this day in 1928, New York Giants
pitcher, Carl Hubbell, recorded his first major
league victory. Hubbell got the win in a com
plete-game shutout, where he allowed just six
hits and one baserunner. He also struck out
five of the 33 batters he faced during New
York’s 4-0 blanking of the Philadelphia
Phillies.
August 12th:
On this day in 1984, one of the ugliest
scenes took place inside Atlanta’s Fulton
County Stadium, where the Braves hosted the
San Diego Padres. The two clubs engaged in
several physical altercations that included 19
ejections. When the damage died down and
the smoke cleared, the Braves defeated the
Padres, 5-3.
August 13th:
On this day in 1932, New York Yankees
pitcher, Red Ruffing, became the first major
league hurler since 1906 to hit a game-win-
ning home run in extra innings. The Yankees
faced the Washington Senators and both
teams battled through nine scoreless innings.
It appeared the zeroes would continue when
the Senators quickly got the first two outs to
start the 10th. Then, out of nowhere, Ruffing
took a Tommy Thomas pitch to deep left
field. That blast was all the offense the Yanks
needed as Ruffing polished off his complete-
game masterpiece in the bottom half. He al
lowed three hits and two baserunners while
logging 12 strikeouts in the 1-0 shutout of the
Sens.

Race
Report
Custer’s front tire catching
on fire. Drivers like Jones,
the Dillon brothers, and Ke-
selowski had not pitted yet
so most of them came in to
pit during the caution and
Hamlin reclaimed the lead
back. The race restarted on
lap 106 and the 5th caution
of the race flew 3 laps later
for Gragson spinning out
from 12 th and hitting the
wall after breaking a toe link
in the car. The race resumed
with just 7 laps left in Stage
2 and Hamlin held onto the
lead to win the stage.
Many of the lead lap driv
ers pitted during the caution
while many others decided
to stay out and gain track po
sition. Stage 3 officially
started on lap 127 with
Suarez now in the lead. He
would hold onto the lead,
even when Chastain and Bell
started to challenge him for
the lead, before making his
scheduled pit stop on lap
157. Then the caution came
out for Bell after he came up
in front of Chastain when
Chastain was passing him on
the outside with fresh tires
after just pitting. Drivers that
hadn’t pitted yet came in to
pit while Harvick stayed out
because he had already pit
ted and was still on the lead
lap when the caution came
out so he was now the new
race leader. The final restart
happened with 35 laps to go
and Harvick pulled away
from everyone at the end to
win at Michigan. This was
Harvick’s first win in 65
races, dating back to the
Bristol night race in 2020,
and this win now puts him in
the NASCAR playoffs.
As for the race itself, this
was an actually a good race
at Michigan. There were
many battles and passes for
position, multiple drivers
able to run up front, some
good battles for the lead, and
another first-time winner this
season (that’s 15 separate
winners so far). It wasn’t as
good as Auto Club but it was
still another solid, entertain
ing race this season.
Next week, NASCAR
heads back to Virginia at the
Richmond Raceway. The
race in the spring wasn’t that
good but maybe next week
will be more entertaining
and exciting.
