Hello, everyone. It’s hard to believe, but with only a few more days until Christmas, we don’t have any snow. I would rather not shovel, anyway, but it’s hard for the businesses that depend on snow. Without it, maybe you can plan a softball game on Christmas day. This would be fun, and what a memory it would be.

Celebrate the joy of Christmas by attending a Christmas musical/ drama, presented by the Fundamentalist Baptist Church Choir Friday, December 22, at 7 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Paradise. For more information, call Pastor Dave Holden at (906) 478-7332 or 492- 3471.
