Baptist Men's Day was observed Sunday at Ebenezer Baptist Church. In the absence of Dr. Dupree, James Smith brought the message on "Let's Build Together." The scripture was from Matthew 7:24-27 and I Samuel 7:12. Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Shelton placed a pretty arrangement of flowers in the church. The choir did a super job - all male. B.C. Kennedy sang a special, "What A Day That Will Be," one of my favorite hymns. ..Happy birthday to Trudy Ingram, January 24; Tonya Ryll, January 26; and Lisa Davenport, January 31 - all sisters. Also happy birthday to Beth Wallace and Brad Tucker. ..I visited Shane Gaines and Tanner in Crawford last week.
