LIFE IN THE COLE BIN

By Burton W. Cole “No, no, no!” My tormentor, er, teacher seemed a tad irritated. “It’s hold down the command and shift keys together, then, without letting go of them, you press that key, THEN, this key. After that is when you hit the ampersand. It’s so simple.”I felt sorry for the kid.

By Burton W. ColeI folded the ancient, still dryer-warm T-shirt. My late wife would have thrown it away years and several dozen stains ago.Not me. You just don’t part with a well-ventilated, well-broken-in treasure like that. It takes a lot of work to get T-shirts this comfy.The logo was faded.

Blanket CreekMessage Sunday, was from Isiah 53. We also had communion this morning. Bro. Greg shared the importance of this tradition. The bread represents Christ's body and the juice represents His blood that was shed on the cross for all of us. Bro.
