The Conecuh Springs Christian School National Honor Society took some time out of their Spring Break to be community servants. They helped at the Bullock County Humane Society walking the dogs, spending time with the cats, feeding the animals, and cleaning out kennels.
The students helped with a number of projects at the First Baptist Church. One project was helping file important paperwork, and they helped with a few beautification needs around Union Springs.
This sweet girl is Carrie. Carrie was pregnant when she was picked up as a stray off the streets of Union Springs Alabama . She had the puppies and was such a good mother to them. They went to a rescue, but she was left behind. Carrie is still waiting for someone to choose her and love her for the rest of her life. Carrie has a good disposition and is good with people and dogs of all ages, not so friendly with cats at this time.

Scripture:
Proverbs 19:17, Luke 6:38
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.”
- Proverbs 19:17
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running nover, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
- Luke 6:38
Devotional:
Smoke billows into the sky, visible to nearby residents and motorists as a sign that something is burning in the Alabama forest.
It’s a prescribed fire at Oak Mountain State Park, which sometimes causes alarm because the smoke can be seen from Interstate 65 or U.S. Highway 280, but it ultimately promotes a healthy forest and better recreational opportunities for park visitors.

Whether active duty, retired, National Guard or Reserved veterans, they should stand tall and proud to be called a “Veteran.” We thank, especially at this time, the Veterans of the Vietnam War and their spouses who gave them moral support. We pray that God would ease their physical wounds, erase the terrible war memories, and give them peace.
