Yes, that’s this Saturday, too, and my niece, Holly White will be graduating.

Congratulations Holly. I love you and pray that you will know how blessed you are.

My supervisor’s daughter is also graduating from UAB on Saturday. Her name is Tempest Woodward. Congratulations goes to Tempest, too.

You all made great choices by beating the odds and staying in school when so many others were giving up.

Great job ladies.

Saturday, Phyllis French will also be graduating with another degree, which is awesome. Phyllis is a real go-getter and believes in always wanting to know more.

My, My, you can see that when I said this weekend is jammed-packed, I was not joking.

High school graduation is just around the corner and best wishes goes to all the high school seniors. Whatever road you decide to take, I pray God’s blessing upon each of you.

The Senior Choir at Union Baptist Church held their 72nd year anniversary last Sunday, April 27. The Rev. P.M. Waller was the speaker and did a wonderful job. The program was filled with the Spirit and they just had a good time in the Lord and so did I.

Serving as Mistress of Order was Shirley Heard of Foley. Jimmie Lou Moorer is president and the Rev. Dwight Boykin is pastor.

Until next week, let’s remember that Love is the best gift we can ever give — so let’s give it.
