Fall is beautiful when Maple leaves light up



2009-10-25 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener.
It almost feels like being in church walking amidst the beauty of Maple trees in their fall glory. It's easy to be thankful for life on days like this one. This photo group from ColumbiaMagazine.com archives is a favorite that I revisited today after my good friend Mary Keltner and I took a walk at the Christian Life Center in Columbia. Along the back side of the trail, where the river creates a border, leaves of every color blazed, backlighted by a warm sun.

Poem: Is it really by Robert Stone


Is it really
a sonnet by Robert Stone
I think that you must think I say too much
and you so little say that what is true
has clues so few that I invent the stuff
that leaves me saying, Is it really you?

I have imagined all the good and bad
and often think that I could be set free
by knowing what will make you glad or sad
but then I wonder, Is it really me.

I am struck dumb when we are face to face
and questions fade from mind as we discuss
the here and now and know the last embrace
will be a question, Is it really us?

The you, the me, the us, the unseen seen,
all only raise more doubts if meanings mean?
- Robert Stone

A Kindred Spirit: Piecing Quilts

By Teresa Kindred

Every winter my mother and grandmother would "piece a quilt." Years ago my mother bought material and had my childhood clothes made by a neighbor lady. She kept the material scraps to make quilts from. Now that both my mother and my grandmother are gone, those quilts have become some of my most prized possessions. I look at the material from my dresses and the memories warm my heart.

There's something about wrapping up in a quilt when it's cold outdoors that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside: especially when the quilt was made by someone you love. In fact, it's the next best thing to a hug. These aren't just quilts, they are a representation of how much my mother and grandmother loved me.

When it comes to fall color White Oak trees are usually not very showy when compared to maples, dogwoods, gums, etc., but as you can see in the accompanying photo there are wonderful, eye-pleasing exceptions.

Carol Perkins: Dating

Dating: "A first date often led the couple to Glasgow to the drive-in or the Plaza. They might go to Tompkinsville to the drive-in or even to Columbia, Summersville, or Horse Cave."
The next earlier Carol Perkins story:
The Bird

By Carol Perkins

For a girl, the magic number was "16." This was the age she could begin dating. Begin dating meant that she could accept a date without having to ask her parents if she could "go out." Naturally, she would ask her parents after she accepted, but it was more of a notification than the seeking of approval. After all, she would not go with a guy her parents would not want her to date. At least, she wouldn't begin her night with him.

The writings of Carlis B. Wilson: Historic Refrigerator

From spring water to kerosene to electricity, we've been able to keep our foods at least cool
An article first posted December 10, 2004, in ColumbiaMagazine.com. By the late Carlis B. Wilson

Carlis B. Wilson

In the days before electricity came to the small farms, life was without ice and refrigeration.

In the hot summer days it was a desirable thing to have a cool drink of water when working in the heat of the day. Today that would be no problem: Just fill the cooler with drinks, and pack the cooler with ice from the refrigerator.

Rev. Joey N. Welsh. reprint from Oct. 22, 2006: Persistence

ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor
By the Rev. Joey N. Welsh
E-Mail: joey_n_welsh@hotmail.com
A CENTENARY CELEBRATION OF PERSISTENCE

In the Bible the concept of persistence is a double-edged blade; it can slice either toward the very positive or the very negative aspects of faith and behavior. In his farewell speech Samuel, Old Testament prophet and leader, imparted advice to all of Israel (I Samuel 12:24-25), But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you. Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away." (NIV)

Found dog on Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY taken to shelter

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I found a dog today (Saturday, October 24, 2009) around 3:30pm trying to cross Jamestown St. near the Church of Christ. It is a small/medium sized dog that seems to be a rat terrier or similar breed. The dog has had a collar, but it seems to have been removed. I have taken the dog to the animal shelter as it was almost hit several times trying to cross the road.

Thank you very much,
