Hoof in Mouth Disease JOHN GLASS Have you ever said something that later you kicked yourself all over about saying? The interesting thing about words is once they’re out, they’re out; we can’t get them back. Of course, we can always apologize, but how much better if we thought
things through before we let them out, right? You could almost say we’ve got a problem with what cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, deer (& probably all ruminants) get: hoof and mouth disease. For people it used to be called “putting your foot IN your mouth.” Read more

Village SDA Church A very special welcome to all Adventist Seniors of Michiana (ASM) as we begin a brand new year. Make sure that you are just a bit early with your delicious food for the potluck so that you can also pay your annual $20 membership dues. If you are at least 55 years of age, you are encouraged to become a member. Come with your friends to enjoy a musical program presented by Don and Donna Mohl from Tennessee as they share folk mountain gospel music played on Biblical instruments, many of which they make themselves--including guitars, psaltery, and dulcimers. The Mohls travel all over the USA giving concerts and selling handcrafted instruments. It will be a special treat to hear them in concert! For further information, contact Cleon White at

Offering for September 2, 2023 Pioneer Operating Budget Labor Day Weekend is here—for the United States, Canada, Bermuda, plus Guam and Micronesia—throughout the North American Division. Ironically, instead of working on Labor Day, most people have a holiday with no work! In other words,
