OUTDOOR ADVENTURE CLUB

Spring Bike Ride

by GLORIA BRAMBLE
WHAT DO DRAGON boat races and bike rides have
in common? They both occurred on May 6, 2017 at Lake
Olmstead near the Augusta Canal in Georgia. The Outdoor
Adventure Club had planned the annual spring bike ride
down the canal path months in advance. Their normal stop
for lunch is at Lake Olmstead. To their great delight, the
date coincided with the Goodwill Industries Dragon Races
Festival. So in addition to enjoying a 14 mile bike ride in
perfect weather, the group also got to witness dragon boat
races and sample the Asian food offered at the festival. A
great time was had by all.•

Moonlight Kayak

by LINDA McCLINTOCK
ON TUESDAY, MAY 8, 25 people met at the boat ramp
on GA 220 near Soap Creek for a moonlight kayak paddle.
This was the first of three moonlight kayak paddles the
Outdoor Adventure Club has scheduled for this summer.

The weather was perfect, and everyone was ready to
have a good time on the lake. About an hour into the
paddle, the water became as smooth as glass. All the kayaks
heading into the setting sun was an amazing sight to see.
We gathered together in a perfect spot to enjoy a gorgeous
sunset followed by a beautiful full moon. Everyone agreed
that it doesn’t get much better than what we experienced on

Different Funeral Styles.

We all go through life differently. We take different paths, choose different
friends and follow different dreams. It’s what makes us special. It’s also
why we think funerals should be unique. They are a defining moment in
our journey. A time to celebrate a life. And whether we walked our years
in wingtips or sandals is not important. What matters is that you now
know a funeral home that recognizes the difference. Call to find out how a
personalized service can reflect an individual and honor a life.

Pets of the Month

BERT

FUN. THAT’S HOW my friends describe me. I liven up any party. My name is Bert and I’m a hound dog
through and through. And yes, I even sound like a hound dog. I enjoy being loved on and given the
chance, I’ll try to get up in your lap a little bit. That’s not easy to do at 65 pounds but if you love me, you’ll
understand my need to show love without any of that licking. And I’m smart. I can catch a treat in midair.
I also enjoy being outside so I need some room to run and a good fence to keep me home. Not a chain
link fence because I’m smart, like I said. As far as other dogs, I’m curious and I like to meet them and I’m
fine being around them. Did I tell you I’m 3 years old? That means I’m full grown so no surprises. What
you see is what you get. If I sound like a good match for you, call up the folks at the HSMC and tell them
you are ready to add some fun to your life.

BOB

DON’T FALL FOR that hogwash – black cats are beautiful, exotic creatures and will surely bring you
good luck. I know because I am one. I’m rather handsome with my shiny coat and white star on my
chest. They named me Bob because they had to dock my tail due to a trauma so now I have a cute
“bobtail” of just an inch. The whole incident makes me a little cautious but I love being petted. When
I’m in the mood, I will gladly flop over on my side for more petting. I’m that type of cat. I’ll let you know
when I’m ready for one on one attention. Don’t get me wrong, I’m friendly and will sit next to you. I’d
just prefer if you didn’t pick me up. Other cats for me are no problem. I live with them now and enjoy
running around in play. I’m almost a year old and ready for a safe and loving home.

Please leave a message at 864-391-2349 or email us at [email protected] if you are interested in learning more about our available dogs and cats.

“Building relationships with God and neighbors” game program from my eleventh birthday in 1966 when my father took me to
the Braves game. Denny’s picture is in the program and he autographed it for

The Rev. Robert Sayer, pastor and visit.
Well, it took me a while but the other day I stopped by Denny’s and struck
3:30 - 4:30 gold! We sat and talked for a couple of hours. He told me stories about Phil
Niekro, Eddie Matthews, Joe Torre, Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, Roberto
Clemente, Greg Maddox, and Joe DiMaggio (all Hall of Famers). The story
I treasured the most was the story about how he started playing baseball. He
was a poor kid living in a rural setting on a dairy farm in California. His family
didn’t have enough money to buy a baseball glove, so he was watching the other
boys play. A man came up and told him to join in the game. Denny explained
his circumstance, so the man went home and brought him a glove to use. Even
though Denny was left handed he learned to use the right handed glove, he
learned he had a talent for the game, and he learned to love baseball. From that
unlikely beginning Denny became a major league pitcher.
Denny’s experience reminded me of another young boy from the pages of the
Bible who used his humble rural beginnings in a memorable way. In 1 Samuel
17 we read about the young shepherd David as he goes up against the giant
Goliath. David convinces King Saul he is capable of the challenge by saying,
“Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came
and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it, and rescued the
sheep from its mouth.” So David uses his experience as a shepherd and his skill
with a sling to slay the enemy of Israel, the Philistine Goliath.
I would like to ask you to reflect upon your unusual and unlikely encounters
in life. Answer this simple question, “How has your life experience prepared
you to be used by God?” Now keep your eyes open because God values your
experience and will use it to help the Kingdom of God come in our midst.•
