Phillip Coffey - Gluttony

GLUTTONY - By Phillip Coffey
Combed my hair, brushed on a wry smile - out the front door
To church - unlike my parents who never, ever missed.
Maybe after the sermon, 'dinner', preacher visiting - fried chicken.
Boy, we sure could stuff that and mashed 'taters' in aplenty.

Gluttony spreads well through all of our seasons - depravity
Of the weakened Spirit - never entering Golden Gate of Heaven.
On meeting Saint Peter - he and the Good Lord 'not having it'.
Meek and mild mannered welcomed - those of us most giving.

In the Hood: the hardest day of the year

By Linda Waggener

Good friends and the sunshine of early fall made today bearable, this anniversary of the start of widowhood. It was this morning, three years ago, that Ed Waggener drew his last quiet breath at TJ Samson Hospital.

Life in the Hood is extreme. Family and friends help ease the pain of it.

At the Post Office, good friends Curt and Doug and Bernie and Robert and Pam shared news and smiles.

Bernie mentioned he was about to retire so he could get his back fixed. He said to Doug, "then I'll get on the bush hog and come out and mow those fields of yours."
