When I was a young boy, I can remember hearing my Grandpa Thomas say (with a couple of added explicatives...as I recall he was good at adding explicatives!), “I don’t know what this world is coming to.” Then, as I grew older I recall my father saying, “I don’t know what this world is coming to.” Recently I caught myself mumbling, “I don’t know what this world is coming to.” Well, with all the troubles our world faces, there are good things out there we need to hear about. Audrey Gulley, daughter of John & Nancy Gulley, decided for her sixth birthday that instead of asking for presents for herself, she wanted food items to help feed people who could not afford to buy food for themselves. I understand she told her family and friends what she wanted for her birthday and then her church family joined the cause. She then donated all the food she collected to the Sesser-Valier Area Lifeline. What’s this world coming to? Thanks to families like the Gulley’s, who work hard at instilling values in their children like caring for others, it’s getting better each day…and some day we just might realize the Kingdom here on earth. If you see Audrey, let her know that many of us around Sesser & Valier are very proud of her.
