Meadowdale Baptist Church feeds police officers ‘Six Buck Lunch’
The Faith, Fellowship and Fun Sunday school class at Meadowdale Baptist Church, with help of the local Dairy Queen, is sponsoring a “Six Buck Lunch” for law enforcement officers at DQ on Highway 53 beginning Monday.
“We would love to invite all of our dedicated law enforcement officers to enjoy a meal or treat to show our love, admiration, respect and appreciation. We would also love for officers to visit at Meadowdale so we can show our appreciation in person,” said Greg “Dutch” Masters.
Masters said the group has raised more than $800 in donations for the project so far.
“We plan to keep the offer open anytime DQ is open for as long as the funds last. DQ is accepting additional donations at the drive-thru for those who wish to show their appreciation,” he said.

“How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live ‘em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give ’em.”

SMILE BECAUSE HE LIVED
You can shed tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him, or you can be full of the love that you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn back, or you can do what he would want: Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I AM NOT THERE
Do not stand by my grave and weep, for I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am diamonds that glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush I am the swift uplifting rush of EXWWHUÀLHV LQ MR\RXV ÀLJKW , am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.
