Thoughts While ShavingMany of our church family have been at the FFA camp, White Lake, for the past 2 or 3 days … I have fond memories of camps when our boys were youngsters … Today’s services will be held at the FFA camp … and yes … Today is CHURCH DAY … The options for church in Bladen County are many, varied and all welcome visitors…

With little to do after cutting grass yesterday, stumblin’ thru the TV entertainment line-up, I discovered a recent Bob Woodward U-Tube meeting, and the topic was his relationships with former President Donald Trump … Did not have time to listen, so recorded for later … maybe today … Woodward has authored books of all recent US Presidents … kind of a ‘tell all’, with taped interviews to back-up … Depending on the Sunday sports line-up, maybe later … but soon.

Weekend sports line-up is more varied as the 2023 NFL season begins soon, college football begins next weekend, high school football is underway … Major League Baseball continues, NASCAR continues. One of the biggies in the sports world is the men’s PGA tournament … Today, the BMW champion will be determined … being played in Chicago … next week The Tour Championship finals will be held in Atlanta … A small field and a ton of money … No doubt there are other events as well…

The hot weather makes home very appealing…

Bladen County weather forecast … Today, sunny, with a high near 92. Tonight, mostly clear, low around 71. Monday, another scorcher … Sunny and hot, with a high near 97 … heat values as high as 104…

High temps for the next week range from 90 to 97 degrees…

I know … never too hot on a golf course … at least for the faithful…

A reminder … Bladen County Commissioners meet Monday, 6:30 p.m. in the courthouse…

The annual North Carolina Grape Festival will be held at Lu Mil Vineyard Saturday, October 14. U-pick season is underway…

“Stress is like spice — in the right proportion, it enhances the flavor of a dish. Too little produces a bland, dull meal; too much may choke you.” Donald Tubesing

“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.” Sydney J. Harris

“Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they’ve started.” David Allen
