Jeremiah 33: 2-9 and Proverbs 16:22 speak of God’s words about guidance in our lives. This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it; the Lord is his name. “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it.

Eva H. Harris and Lincoln County School Alumni will meet for their regular meeting to prepare for the upcoming reunion in 2017 on April 26 at 6 p.m. at the public library. The president Curtis Tyner along with the vice president Marion B. James are encouraging each of you to join the committee members to prepare for this school reunion.

There are many, many milestones that happen in one’s life, and today they are becoming more prevalent in young people at an early age. Young people are developing meaningful ideals and they are forming these skillful ideals into reality and this causes them to become successful inventors or business people at such an amazingly young age. If you look around, you will see that there have been some young people named as millionaires as young as 16 years old by statistics recently.

Young people you are encouraged to reach for the stars because you have the opportunity to do whatever you would like to do to succeed in this society. Maybe before you are the age of 20 you will own your own company or maybe you will have made an invention. If you have a dream for success that will benefit someone, don’t wait! Get, busy, believe in yourself, trust in God, and you will succeed.
