So you may not hear from me for a few days....but here is last weeks Christiansen's Comments. Hopefully.....Maybe a picture of Doctor McCall and his wife Vicki.

Don’t you just love an uplifting funeral service? Larry Dickson’s service Saturday at the Edwards Baptist Church was just that, uplifting. Doctor McCall’s message was encouraging. Doctor McCall reminded us, there is a place for God’s people in heaven, scripture tells us, Jesus went ahead to prepare a place for us.
Which is not to say there were no tears, there were many…I cried. I loved Larry…Larry and I were diagnosed with cancer about the same time…we had long heart to heart chats; about dieing…our chats were not morbid. We both knew death is a natural part of God’s plan. Larry will be missed, he lighten the hearts and the load for his many friends, neighbors and strangers.

Sunday afternoon I motored over to Clinton to see The Attala County Garden Club, the play the Brick Street players are doing currently. The play was written by a Mississippian, Topher Payne. Topher has Edwards connections, his mom and dad live out at Queens Hill.
The play has yet another link to Edwards, Naomi Purvis Barnette, although not the star, stole the show…. when ever she came on the stag, the audience instantaneously began to laugh.
I was impressed by the wardrobe too; the play is set in the mid 1980s, they ladies often had on the big shouldered dresses of the period.
The play’s plot twisted and turned in startling ways…..I will not reveal the plot here; Let’s just say it is not your Mama’s garden club.
If you get a chance go see The Attala county Garden Club.

Speaking of Doctor McCall, when ever he speaks at one our community services, he introduces himself by saying; “I am the interim pastor at the Edwards Baptist Church” he has been there for 6 or 7 years….somebody needs to go on and tell him he has the job….’cause they anit look’n for nobody else.
Doctor McCall turned 90 recently, and still going strong. Doctor McCall serves the Lord with such humility and so cheerfully…he considers it his privilege. Doctor McCall, he is an inspiration and blessing to this community.

What do you get for those folks who have everything, or just plain hard to buy for? Or maybe you just do not want to get out and shop? Do what I did, get them a subscription to the Hinds County Gazette.
Happy Birthday Betty!
Happy Birthday Suz!
The paper you are reading is my gift to you.
Love to all and call if you need me.
