Ripples...

 A Ripple of Kindness... 
reaches the farthest shore

Gender... religion... politics... we ALL belong

One thing I have learned this year ~ it doesn't matter what our gender, religious beliefs or political affiliation may be....in the end, we ALL belong to each other. 
Taking care of one another, loving each other and spreading kindness makes this world a better place.

Watch out for flying balls!
Sue Josephson was touched by the concern and kindness she saw while driving past some girls playing volleyball on the court on 4th Street North.
It’s a busy thoroughfare.
All of a sudden a ball flew out into the street.
No worry!
Every car going in both directions stopped!
Until the girls got their ball back.
Everyone safe!

Sing along: “Show me the way to go home!”  
Cannon Falls Police Officer Paul Larson saw a man stumbling along the drive to homes in a residential area.  When questioned, the man explained he was walking home from the bars and admitted to drinking quite a bit.  
He explained he had just moved to town and his roommate was at their residence.  He was very friendly and asked the officers’ name several times and told him it was nice to meet him.  Officer Larson saw that he got home safely.

Give aways...
Folks around here like giving away stuff they no longer need.  But how to let people know?  
The Shepherd’s Center, Life Church and Wangen Prairie Church have started a “Sharing” bulletin board.  Here folks can put a note or picture of whatever they would like to give away along with a contact phone number.  
Items have ranged from a new cat collar to hand lotions to a couch to a Wurlitzer organ, a lot of chocolate-mint plants, etc.
