Teen groups are doing good work
Recently we had the privilege to serve at the community Christmas store provided by the Family Crisis Council.
We were assigned to wrap gifts for customers and were fortunate to be grouped with four very fine teenage ladies who are students at Knox Middle School and Salisbury High School. Their names are Tamara, Bryce, Destini and Bria. They are members of a service club called the Me-Time Club and were serving the community as workers in the Christmas store.
We felt compelled to write and inform the community not only about the importance of supporting service clubs such as the Me-Time Club but also about how young people are doing good things. It was refreshing to see these girls willingly serving with happy hearts and truly enjoying their time of service. They made the night so light and fun for the customers and for us. We laughed and talked for the three hours we were there and ended up with new friendships and fond memories.
If you are presented with the opportunity to attend an event produced by this service club or others in our high schools, or to support them in other ways, we encourage you to do so. Your support will be appreciated and productive. They deserve our commendations.

Message to thief
To whoever stole the copper tubing out of my central air and heating unit on Wildwood Road, I hope the devil serves you graciously, and you will really deserve everything he does to you.
I hope you listen to the country music song ěI will pray for you,î and that is exactly the way I feel about you.
This is the third major theft I have had at that house, so the next time you strike, just take the whole house and you will give me peace of mind because there is not a whole lot of damage you can do to the land that will be left.
May the devil live with you forever because you do not possess a conscience. Everything was fine Tuesday, Dec. 28, so you must have needed money to celebrate New Yearís. I hope you have a blessed New Year, and I hope you rot in jail when and if you are arrested.
God is watching you.
