By Rick Hinton

When Fred Shonk stood before a group of people at the July 24 Perry Township/South-port Historical Society meeting, he was pas-sionate about the subject: origins of Southside street names.

Fred, a long-time Southside resident who grew up on Madison Ave., is a retired bus driv-er from Beech Grove Schools. He remembers a time and place when life was simpler and rural Southside developed under the shadow of Indi-anapolis, in effect, becoming a place of its own.

Many Southside streets are named after farms, families, or friends associated. Thomp-son Road is named after Edwin Thompson, who owned and built upon the land transi-tioning into Longacre Swimming Pool & Park. There have been several generations since; Epler Ave.-The Epler farm family, with the original street name of Stop 7; the Bantas; the Smocks, former farmland and former title of Stop 8; other street names related to families and farms such as Carson, Rahke and Wicker. 

Many others defined the evolution of South-side Indianapolis. The Coskys (Cosky’s Gro-cery store); Combs; Churchman (he owned a bank when the area was still part of Perry Township); the Hardigans, Derbyshires, Lind-bergs, Bixlers and Chamberlains; Madison Ave.; etc.

Meridian Street (3 Notch Road-the third road going south other than Madison and Bluff) turning into 135 south of the city, get-ting its name because it divides the city down the middle. US 31 was so far in the future; County Line Road…toeing the line between Marion and Johnson County; Church Street in Southport-named for the Presbyterian Church #4. Bluff Road-named after the bluffs above the White River. Orinoco Road remains a mystery

as to the origin of its name. Some have associ-ated it with a body of water in South America.

In the early 1900s, Perry Township was served by an electric rail system called The In-terurban. The tracks were laid down the cen-ter of Shelby St. from Fountain Square, pro-gressing along the west side of Madison Ave. to Southport Road, then crossing over to the east side. At one time, you could ride to Louisville, KY. Eventually, the railway was reduced to New Albany and then reduced even further to Sey-mour, before the demise of the rail after a fatal accident. All streets with “Stop” in their name were once waiting stations for this rail system.

Meridian Woods, a neighborhood (where I live) off of West Southport Road, has streets named after National Parks. The subdivisions of Valley Ridge Farms and Hunter’s Run have streets named after famous racehorses. Hill Valley streets are named after the developer’s daughters.

Fred Shonk remembers when present-day Long’s Bakery was a grocery store and housed school buses. Ted Freese remembers an incar-nation as a gas station; Barry Browning, trea-surer for the historical society, remembers when Edgewood Ave. was Stop 8, lined by churches and businesses, and had a designa-tion of East & West Edgewood, with Madison Ave., being the dividing line.

Judy Elder, the present owner of the Hannah House on Hanna Ave., says, “People used the house as a reference to the street, and some-where along the way, the “h” was dropped from the end of Hannah.”

Rick Hinton, a Southport resident, loves researching things that go bump in the night. His articles can be read on Facebook: Rick Hinton, Southport Paranormal Examiner. Hinton conducts paranormal investigations with his team, South Central Paranormal.

4 Week of June 24 - 30, 2021 • ss-times.com The Southside TimesCOVER STORY

By Jessica Todd

92-year-old June Stanley will be the Grand Marshal for the Southport Independence pa-rade on July 3. Celebrating Independence Day means many different things to Stanley, who moved to Southport from England on Christ-mas Eve of 1946.

“I will be quite honest with you. Being the Grand Marshal is not for me, but I am doing it for Southport,” Stanley said.

The Southport Independence Day Parade will celebrate its 10th year on July 3 at 10:30. The parade will begin at Southport Elementary and end at Southport Park. There will then be music and food for the community.

“Independence Day goes back to when the British were here first,” explained June. “We were pushed out and sent back to the old country. I told Southport Mayor Jim Cooney that since he asked me to do this job for South-port, I would carry the British flag. He told me he wished I would, but I said there is no way

because I would get thrown out of Southport,” June said with a laugh.

According to June’s neighbor and the pa-rade coordinator, Marylynn Winslow, June was selected as the Grand Marshal because she is friendly and personable.

“She makes friends with anybody who walks in the neighborhood,” said Winslow. “I have been here for 47 years, which means she has been here for about 60. She has been here for a long time, and she is very friendly.”

Growing up in England“I grew up in a small village about 100 miles

from London,” said Stanley. “My father was a huntsman redcoat who worked for Princess Diana’s father on the estate.”

When June was 15 months old, her father died at 30 years old after being crushed by a horse while hunting.

“My father entertained a lot of people while hunting,” said Stanley. “I do not remember him since I was so young. After he passed, we moved back to the village to be with my grandparents.”

Shortly after June’s father passed, World War II began. Times were dark, nobody was around, but June found a light in the darkness.

“I knew my husband from England. He was in the American Airforce during World War II,” explained Stanley. “As the story goes, there was a love affair. Once he went back to Ameri-ca, he became my regular person in the States. I came to America about two years later, and we were married the day after Christmas.”

When June came to the United States, she flew into New York, where she met up with Curt, her husband, who was from Indiana.

“When I got to the United States, the im-migration officer told us that if we did not get married, I would have to go back to England,” said June. “I was almost ready to go back. I was scared to death about being in a new country.”

The immigration officer told Curt and June that they would have to be married within 24 hours for her to stay in The United States.

“The person who married us had to be the one to sign the papers and mail them to the immigration office,” June said. “We could not sign the papers ourselves. The ordained minis-ter had to do it for it to be legal.”

June and Curt drove all night in a terri-ble snowstorm from New York to Kentucky, where they found a place that would marry them the day after Christmas in 1946.

Life in a new countryJune was in awe of being in a new country.

Life was brand new to her for the first time in a long time. She obtained her citizenship in 1952, which she claims was a long and tiring process.

“We never studied American history in England,” said June. “We studied European

history. So, when I had to take the citizenship test, I could not answer the questions. They were so strict back then compared to how it is now. I was not granted my citizenship until I could answer the questions. I took high school classes three nights a week and studied every night. When I went to the Capital building and answered every question right, they could not believe it.”

June went home, where her husband eagerly waited to see how she did.

“I told him I did not make it,” Stanley joked. “I tried to make myself tear up, but eventually, I told him I made it. He bought me a ring and told me he knew I could do it.”

The United States differed from England in many aspects including, currency, driving conditions and scenery.

“The people were different, and it was not diverse,” said June. “I did not understand the money or how stores worked. Stores are much different here. At the time, I was not driving, but everyone drove on the wrong side of the road compared to England. During the war, there were not many cars because the govern-ment took them away. You could not get tires, and most of the men were in the war, so cars were not used. When everyone began driving again, there were so many more cars than ever in England. Women did not drive at that time. It took me two or three years to get used to it. I was living two different lives for a while.”

Many things were a culture shock to June when she first landed in New York City on Christmas Eve in 1946.

“One of the biggest things I remember is that a lot of the world was still dark because of the war,” said June. “When we arrived in New York, the city was all lit up for Christmas. We had not seen the lights for a long time. We lived in blackouts because the German planes could detect even the smallest amount of light.”

Southport then versus nowSince June made Southport her new home,

the Southside city has seen many changes.“I have seen a big change in the town,” June

said. “When we first moved here, the popu-lation was much smaller. We had no sewers, and we were not on city water when we moved in. Many businesses are long gone, and new buildings are taking their place. On the corner of where I live, there used to be a small post office. I just saw that they are putting real es-tate there.”

Stanley also remembers when Moeller’s was around and saw it change from a grocery store to a meat market and eventually into an an-tique shop. She used to shop at a small store called By-Rite that has since become home to Long’s Bakery.

“Overall, living in Southport has been good, and I have enjoyed raising my four sons here,” said Stanley. “The boys are all married and off on their own now, but they enjoyed living here

and attending Southport High School.”Now, June Stanley does not know a stranger

in the small town of Southport. She has been living here for over 60 years and has become a well-known face.

“June and I knew each other from church. We have gone to church together since I was a little girl. Anybody who travels up and down this street knows June,” said Winslow. “She sits outside with her dog all the time, and there is always someone here.”

“It is the dog’s fault,” June added with a laugh.

Stanley has lived a fulfilling life in her South-side community. She cannot travel or does as much as she used to, but she is content with the life she has built for herself in the United States.

“I am quite happy with where I am, and I am quite happy living in Southport,” said June.

Get to know June Stanley:What are your hobbies? I enjoy gardening

and I used to love to travel. What was hard to learn in America? The

money was hard to learn. The family had to set everything out and tell me what each coin meant.

What is something you remember from Southport that is no longer there? I remem-ber the Tee Pee restaurant.

What did you love about traveling? I have been able to fly and sail all over. I have been to Tahiti, the South Pacific, The Bahamas, Venice and many other places.

What is special about your dog Kelly? Kelly is a wire fox terrier, and this kind of dog would lead the type of hunts my father went on.

Josie Newman had a clear reason for why she wanted to become a pitcher at the age of six, and she took to it quickly.

“When she first said she wanted to pitch, she said, ‘I want to have the ball first during the game,’” said Josie’s mother, Beth New-man. “We thought we would get her a few lessons to see if she liked it. Luckily, a for-mer college pitcher was an intern in the of-fice where I worked. She was nice enough to give Josie lessons, she loved it, and it just took off from there.

After a standout senior season at Frank-lin Central High School, Newman will play for the University of Southern Indiana next season.

Early on, we never even considered her playing in college. She just really loved soft-ball and wanted to play competitively. She played in the local rec league, then All-Stars, and when several of her friends decided to move to travel ball, she did too,” said Beth.

Josie had a 19-2 record with a 1.28 earned run average for the Flashes this spring. Frank-lin Central reached the Class 4A sectional final before getting beat by even-tual state champion Roncalli. The Flash-es won the Marion County title, beating Roncalli 1-0 in the tournament semifi-nals. Franklin Cen-tral captured the Hoosier Crossroads Conference title.

Newman had 209 strikeouts in 120 1/3

innings and has earned Southside Times Athlete of the Month.

“My spins got a lot better, and I got fast-er from the previous year,” Newman said. “I did not have my junior season, so I had enough time to work on those things.”

Josie was able to pitch for her travel team, Indiana Magic Gold, in the summer of 2020 after her junior season was canceled due to the pandemic.

She batted .362 for the Flashes this spring.“I think I made strong strides as a batter,”

she said. “I am more focused on my pitching than hitting, but I can put the ball in play and make things happen. At Southern In-diana, I am going to pitch and be a utility player, too.”

For her travel team and Franklin Central, she played second base when she was not pitching.

Her mother said her daughter is a competitive person.

“She does not like to lose, and she never wants to let her teammates down,” Beth said. She has had tal-ented girls playing behind her who she trusts, and I think that is part of the reason she has so much

confidence. She has also had coaches who pushed her

because they saw some-thing in her that she did not always see in herself and, thanks to them, she had a great senior year.”

Her father, Justin Newman, has loved watching her grow.“For me, coaching and

calling her pitches has been an awesome experience seeing the little girl who hoped to become a good pitcher become a great pitcher,” Justin said. "She did not pitch a lot for Franklin Central her sophomore year, and she lost last year to COVID-19. We did not know what to expect this year. Her be-ing named all-state, all-county and going on to college to pitch; has exceeded any hopes I had for her this year and proved to me that no one should ever count her out.”

Newman said she chose Southern Indi-ana because she loves the Southern Indiana coaching staff. Two former Franklin Central players, Katie Back and Emma Herron, are on the Southern Indiana team.

“I feel comfortable going down there and feel I can do pretty good,” Newman said. “I am hoping to get a little faster (pitching) and perfect my spins a little more. I want to get stronger, too.

Compiled by Jessica Todd

The last Thursday of each month, we recognize staff of Southside schools recommend-ed by other staff members, students and parents. Do you know an educator that deserves to be recognized? Please email their name, grade or subject they teach, school name and reason(s) for nomination to jes-sica@icontimes.com. Congrat-ulations to this month’s nomi-nated educators of the month: Ashley Thompson, Frank-lin Central High School FACS Teacher, Beth Reel, Roncalli High School Assistant Principal for Academic Affairs and Jody Matthews, Homecroft Elemen-tary Principal.

Ashley ThompsonFRANKLIN CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOLFACS TEACHER

As a member of the Frank-lin Central FACS depart-ment, Ashley Thompson spends her days preparing students for life as produc-tive, contributing mem-bers of the community as

well as mentoring those that are interested in pursuing post-secondary studies in the field of education. As a teacher-leader, Ashley serves as the sponsor for the sophomore class and has served as the faculty leader for the FCHS Student Council. Her most recent contribution to the positive climate and culture of FCHS has been tackling a brand new freshman orientation program, LAUNCH 2025. Incorporating need-to-know information like a “who’s who” of staff, where to go to find whatever it is you might need and vital conversations about earning credits and building your GPA, all topped off with some activities sure to build school spirit! Ms. Thompson’s dedication to all students is commendable and a tremen-dous part of who FCHS is.

Beth ReelRONCALLI HIGH SCHOOLASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

Beth Reel did a marvelous job overseeing Roncalli’s academic programming during the past school year amidst all of the challenges and interruptions brought on by Covid-19.

Jody MatthewsHOMECROFT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

Homecroft Principal Jody Matthews is Perry Township Schools Administrator of the Year. Mr. Matthews recognized the challenges facing teachers during remote

learning. He worked with the leadership team to develop professional develop-ment around resources, technology platforms and coaching to improve education. Mr. Matthews quickly identified that live, synchronous teaching and interactions, despite logistical challenges, led to better student engagement and academic outcomes. Once he formulated a plan to

foster synchronous learning in a remote setting, he saw student attendance spike to an impressive 97 percent. Under Mr. Matthews’ leadership, Homecroft has been rated an ‘A’ school for six of the last seven years, including two times in the top 25 of all elementary schools for growth. This achievement is especially impressive because he helps his teachers provide a high-quality education to a diverse student body, which includes more than 30 percent English learning students.

The Samuel Bryan Chapter’s Flag Day

CelebrationSubmitted by The Samuel Bryan Chapter

Members of the Samuel Bryan Chapter, National Society Daugh-ters of the American Revolution in Beech Grove, portrayed Benjamin Franklin and Betsy Ross on Flag Day at the local Bob Evans restaurant on Southport Crossings Drive. Custom-ers were provided with an Ameri-can Flag and Flag Code information. Children also received coloring pag-es of the American and Indiana state flag. The day started with Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fa-thers of our nation, and Betsy Ross, traditionally known for her part in sewing the first American flag, at the Bob Evans restaurant. Their next stop was visiting and paying respects to the chapter’s patriot namesake, Samuel Bryan, who fought in the American Revolution and is buried in Southport Cemetery.

Flags were placed at the cemetery. The duo was then off to visit with residents of Beech Grove Meadows healthcare facility. Ben and Betsy passed out more American flags, dis-cussed American history and the im-portance of the day with the seniors and met two veterans, Charles Mc-Guire and Richard Utterback. Later that evening, chapter members at-tended a respectful flag retirement ceremony, hosted by Scout Troops 0108 and 1108 in Sarah Bolton Park in Beech Grove. Chapter members provided copies of the American Flag Code to those in attendance.

HUMOR

Top ten signs your county fair may be struggling

By Torry Stiles

10. You overhear a couple of ride operators trying to figure out what the part that fell off goes to.

9. The Fair Queen pageant dropped their traditional “no felonies” requirement.

8. The lemon shake-up stand has been using the same lemon all day.

7. Game operators take cash or cold medi-cine as payment.

6. When you look closer, you realize that what you thought were safety inspector seals are Chiquita banana stickers.

5. The 4H has added a Beer Pong competi-tion.

4. They let you use your gun and ammo at the “Shoot the Star” booth.

3. That deep-fried treat on a stick still has its whiskers and a tail.

2. For five bucks, you can drive the Ferris wheel if nobody’s watching

1. Instead of admitting they have no cows to display, the fair staff claims they’ve been de-calfinated.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you ...

In Georgia, it is illegal to change the clothes on a storefront mannequin unless the shades are down.

BELIEVE IT!

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the

noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to

follow your heart and intuition.”

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

The Sterling Cabaret and Event Center was the scene of a drag show and contest on June 21. Rose Garden Entertainment presented an open stage night that was hosted by Amber Rose and Veronica Fox. Show Director Justyn Wilson, stage name Amber Rose, conducted a contest with each performer doing two songs. Veronica Fox, a principal performer, opened the show for the audience. Fox was followed by performances from KeyAirra Kardashh, Adriana Mariee, Bebe Skyy, Missy Shades, Jade Mariee and Gaia Ciccone. The winner of the contest was picked by audience applause. The winner was Kardashh, of Indianapolis, who won a $50 cash prize and a booking in a future show, for a total of $100 in rewards. The next open stage will be held on July 5, and viewers can come see performance shows on the last Thursday of every month at the event center, 916 E Main St., Suite 200, Greenwood.

Edward’s Drive-In

Edward’s Drive-In has been open to the Southside since August of 1957. The restaurant has been run by the same family for 64 years. Louise Edwards is the current owner, and siblings Jeff and Terri Edwards run the daily operations.

“Having been at the same location so long, we often have third or fourth generation customers who come in,” said Jeff. “I like to hear stories about how our restaurant has been a place for first dates and celebrations.”

The restaurant is a family-style 50’s diner with good food at reasonable prices. The menu offers a wide variety items for everyone such from coney dogs to chicken tenders.

“Our most famous items are our breaded tenderloin, onion rings and our homemade root beer,” Jeff said. “Our restaurant has many pictures and art depicting famous stars from the 50’s. We also have a Wurlitzer 1015 Juke box that plays vinyl 45’s.”

The goal of the restaurant is to provide quality

food at fair prices to Southside residents and visitors.

“We want our restaurant to be a welcoming place. We also want to give teenagers a place where they can work and learn important life skills,” Jeff said.

Edward’s Drive-In is open Tuesday-Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 7 p.m. for dine-in and pickup services.

2019 was host to more spec-tacular films than any other in recent memory. Horror fans received an instant cult classic in Robert Egger’s “The Light-house.” Established Hollywood legends like Martin Scorse-se and Quentin Tarantino re-leased some of their best works to date. Bong Joon-Ho’s “Para-site” became the break-out hit of the year and, in the process, became the first film not in the English language to win the Best Picture at the Oscars.

One such film was French director Céline Sciamma’s “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” which I am de-lighted to report is not only the best film of 2019 but is, without exaggeration, one of the greatest films ever made.

Héloïse, a lonely French aristocrat, is set to marry a man she has never met in Italy in place

of her recently deceased sister. Protesting the marriage, she refuses to pose for her portrait, so her mother hires Marianne to paint her in secret, under the guise of being a hired com-

panion for Héloïse. Slowly, a passionate but gentle romance sparks between the two as they quietly rebel against the restric-tions set in place by the upper-class society of eighteenth-cen-tury France.

Sciamma’s romance is made up of subtle gestures, wistful gazes and a quiet, almost un-detectable anger. The two leads communicate more in one glance in this film than another film might communicate in its entire screenplay. The pretense of companionship as a disguise for modeling creates a gaze that

begins as artistic curiosity and slowly deepens and intensifies into something even using a word like love feels inadequate to describe. This gaze moves outside of the context of the literal film and into metaphor as Sciamma be-gins to wrestle with the factors that prevent

the leads from being with one another. The anger expressed by the characters,

and in extension, the film, is one of rebel-lion; against a system designed without con-sideration for the poor, against a society that derives value from a specific worldview, and most clearly, against a male-driven cinematic tradition. It is a simple concept, but Sciamma is getting at a fundamental truth about not just film but art at large.

The more people who get the opportunity to create and have their work received, the better art becomes, and the film is its own best piece of evidence in its argument. “Por-trait of a Lady on Fire” is a riveting universal story that uses every moment to engage, chal-lenge, and move its audience, and it is not to be missed. Portrait of a Lady on Fire is avail-able to stream on Hulu.

MOVIE REVIEW

Are you constantly on your phone? Do you bury your face in your Facebook feed? Do you find yourself all atwitter for Twitter? Do you often talk about TikTok? My temptation is to spend every instant on Instagram. The studies and statistics I found are all over the place, but the av-erage smartphone user spends over two hours per day using social media.

Instead of Instagram, how about we spend some time on isograms? Although that segue was a bit of a stretch, I found the statistics on social media use shock-ing, and now I have your attention.

You Greek scholars out there know that isogram means “equal letter.” An iso-gram is a word that has an equal amount of each letter in it. For starters, let’s dis-cuss first-order isograms, which do not repeat any letter. My name, “Curtis,” is

a first-order isogram. So are the words “customizable,” “nightwalkers,” “flame-throwing,” and “ambidextrously.” None of these words use the same letter twice! The longest English language isogram, weigh-ing in at 17 letters, is “subdermatoglyph-ic,” which has to do with patterns in our fingerprints (I think).

Things get twice as interesting when we consider second-order (or pair) isograms. That’s when we get into words including “deed” and “noon.” But we’re not here to talk about four-letter words, are we? The perfect place to start is with “intestines.” Each of the letters appears exactly twice. Of all my friends who are “hotshots,” I would never expect one of them to be a semi-professional “horseshoer.” I never thought my “couscous” would “reappear.” All the words in quotations in the previ-ous sentences are second-order isograms.

Now that we’re warmed up, let’s go all-in with third-order (or trio) iso-grams. These words are about as rare as

a “dodo,” which is another second-order isogram. After scouring the world wide web, the darknet, Dragnet and a secret internet just for people who enjoy go-ing into nets, I found only four third-or-der isograms. The list includes “deeded,” “sestettes,” “reprepper” and “geggee” (a victim of a hoax).

Isograms are fun, and it’s easy to find yourself spending two hours or more down the rabbit hole of words contain-ing equal letters. If you thoroughly study up on isograms, you may find yourself addicted to a form of anti-social media. After all, it’s nice to have friends, but wouldn’t you rather collect words?

Aspire releases Greenwood Daytime Population Study results

Study results - Aspire Economic Development + Chamber Alliance announced that its post-COVID study of daytime population in Green-wood revealed more of the City’s residents are

working from home than prior to the pandem-ic, reflecting the popularity of remote working. Half of survey respondents currently work from home and 85 percent of those workers believe they will continue to do so in the future, As-pire said. Nearly all of those who currently work from home previously had work commutes longer than 20 minutes. Aspire reported those working from home appreciate the decreased commute time, more time with their families and the easy access to local amenities. Respon-dents working from home are also spending more time and money closer to home such as dining out, and using local amenities such as parks and trails, Aspire said. Moreover, 88 per-cent of respondents who do not currently work from home believe they will do so in the future, indicating a desire to embrace and/or accept re-mote working as a permanent work style. The survey results also confirm the City of Green-wood is on the right track in its efforts to cre-ate a place where residents want to live, work and play. The Greenwood Economic Develop-ment Commission contracted with Aspire on the study to better understand the current day-time population in Greenwood. Aspire part-nered with Direct Impact Partnerships LLC to develop the survey and analyze the results. Survey results achieved a 95 percent accuracy rate and 5 percent margin of error. Respondent

demographics skewed slightly younger than av-erage with higher incomes, college attainment levels and higher rates of home ownership than average for the City.

1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

2 Unto the church of God, which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Fa-ther, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

I CORINTHIANS 1:1-3

For over 48 years, I pastored church of God con-gregations from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ohio and Indiana. One thing they all had in common was a desire to be one with all of the church from one end of the world to another. How can we best de-fine the church of God I am speaking of? Look at verse 2 of today’s passage. “Them that are sancti-fied in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord...” These are our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. This is the church of God. It is not a denomi-

nation; it is a movement that pursues God’s truth in order to teach it to whosoever will hear it and live by it. I love the church of God because it does not exist to do battle with anyone but Satan and do battle with Satan it will. Like Paul, I was called by God to this appointment in His church. What a joy it has been to serve God in this manner. I am a sickly old man now, but I have not lost my en-thusiasm to know the truth and to share it. This is what Paul wants for the church of God in Corinth. I served the church as a pastor, but Paul was called to be an apostle which carries a lot more authority and responsibility. In any case, to serve God faith-fully in whatever calling you are called to is the thing. To serve God in His church is such a bless-ing. We should all do it and do it well.

God bless and go and have a great day.

Paul A. Kirby is the pastor at the Church of God at 3939 S. Emerson Ave.
