Jenkins Country Schools as a lay person appointed by the local
school board.
In 1989 she was named Jenkins County Lirst Lady of the Year,
and was a nominee for Georgia Mother of the Year. In 1984, her
family was named the Lirst Congressional District Lamily of the
Year after being the Millen Woman’s Club Lamily of the Year.

While visiting a factory with a friend, he took me into the boiler room. I was impressed with all of the different parts of
the boiler that were necessary to make it work properly. One of the most important parts of the boiler was a glass tube
with water in it. I was told that it was impossible to look into the boiler to see how much water was in it. However, it was
possible to know how much water was in the boiler by looking at the gauge. Whatever was in the boiler would be
registered by the gauge. What is true of the boiler is true of the believer. How much do we love Christ? We can measure
our love for Him by the amount of time we spend in reading the Bible, talking with Him in prayer and waiting on Him in
worship. We can also measure our love for Him by taking an inventory of the amount of time we invest in our service to
others who are in need.
