If you’re wondering where last week’s column was, so am I. I had some computer trouble and thought I had it taken care of, but when the newspapers came out, there was no “South Side News.” I’m sure I sent it, but where it went, I don’t know. It has disappeared from my computer, and I can’t find it to resend it. I hope you will read this week’s offering. Anyway, on with the current local happenings.
Last Wednesday the Hill Country Belles Red Hats gals met at the Roman Castle in Mauston and enjoyed a variety of lunches. They have a fantastic menu. On Saturday I joined Christopher Young for a trip to Elgin, Ill., to pick up the three youngest Young children after their mom had brought them from Indianapolis. August, Truth and Felicity are spending a couple of weeks with their dad for spring break. One of his older daughters, Chloe, accompanied her mom, so we had a chance for a visit with her, too. On Sunday after church, I was at Flippy’s Bar & Grill in Kendall with some church friends for their new Sunday brunch.
The Marty family had a sports weekend, both as spectators at the Royall High School basketball games and participants in the kids’ events. On Saturday morning, Chip was with Brett and Mya at Cashton youth wrestling while Mary was watching Layla in a volleyball tournament at Royall. The family attended both Friday and Saturday night games at Royall, and the Panthers will go to the state tournament.
On Wednesday, Sally Dana was among the Hill Country Belles at the Roman Castle, and on Thursday, Lynette Vlasak and Sally attended Norma Bernhardt’s funeral at St. Paul’s Church, and then visited with several Royall classmates, including Jim and Becky Grilley. On Friday, Lynette had an appointment with her eye doctor, and on Saturday morning, the gals picked up coffee and treats at Let’s Shine in Hillsboro and took them to Connie Dorow’s. In the evening, they attended the basketball game at Royall. After church the next day, we saw the gals enjoying the new breakfast buffet at Flippy’s.
A few weeks ago, our pastor stated in his sermon that God exhibits His great love by offering spiritual life to all people and Christians are people who have said “yes” to God’s call to become people who are spiritually alive, able to sense and follow His direction. Since God has lovingly committed to Christians, it is up to us to respond by committing to Him through His Son Jesus Christ, who came into this world that we might be saved by Him. One day, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!
