Influence 

Did you know that you money likely has traces of cocaine on it?  A study by Jack Demirgian of the Argonne National Laboratory revealed that 78% of the currency circulating in Miami and other major US cities carries trace amounts of cocaine.  The study only focused on cocaine, but I wonder what else might be found on our currency.  I’m sure fast food products (French fry grease, mustard, soda), cosmetics from purses, and lint from pockets would also be found as well.  Just about anything that comes in contact with money leaves a bit of itself behind.  Then, when

›› Welcome To Our Church!
    Since 1782, caring and faithful people have gathered as the congregation of First United Methodist Church.  We continue that tradition of offering God's love and a place for people to gather for support and spiritual growth.  Because we believe that God speaks to people in different ways there are two styles of worship offered each Sunday morning.  At 8:30 a.m., a contemporary service is offered for those who enjoy a more casual atmosphere, a praise band, and contemporary music.  At 11:00 a.m. a traditional service is offered in the sanctuary.  The beauty of the stained glass windows and a full pipe organ enhance this worship opportunity.

›› Fishing with Father - Fishing Brings Us Together
    As I grew older my dad and grew further apart. I became a liberal he remained a conservative. He thought college a waist of time, to me it was an important goal to finish college. He wanted me to work the way to the top as he did in his field and I wanted a different life as a professional chef. There were times when all we said was hello while I visited my mother. When I came in town to visit her he would leave. There was a time when we did not speak for years. One of the many things I've learned in life is that it is far better to put some things behind you and forgive others. So it came
