Scribbles…

One of my favorite things is … a blank sheet of paper You can

Put anything on it you can come up with Create!

a blank sheet of paper is an opportunity

To start over to begin again

Sometimes, life is screaming

For us to start over from scratch

We can get a scratch sheet of paper

And figure it out figure it out figure it out figure it out

So a blank sheet of paper is like a

Blank Canvas

What happens if we take out a blank sheet of paper with our lives? Or our church?

Or one aspect of our lives or an aspect of our church

Create! Do something totally different do something

You’ve never done before

Try it you might like it

To all our friends at Hueytown First UMC: We are aware that gifts have been made in Charlie’s memory to different ministries. I feel I may haved missed some individual names to respond personally but please know how grateful we are as a family. Charlie so enjoyed working in the food pantry ministry with so many of your members. Your church is so fortunate to have so many tireless workers. Again, thank your members for the gifts, the love to our family and most of all the prayers.

Much love, Lois Roberts and Family
