The Bourbon Heights Fall Classic is the annual fundrais-er for the Resident Auxiliary Fund, which helps fund ex-penses that most take for granted, such as hair care, DVD players, or music play-ers.

Rebecca’s favorite thing to do outside of work is to be with her four kids and to watch them play sports. One thing Rebecca would like the resi-dents to know about her is that

she is a secret art enthusiast. “I love to paint, draw and make

pottery,” she says.

Letting the fog lift

“Do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on.” Matthew 6:25

A story I once read reminded me that worry is like fog. According to the article, dense fog covering seven city blocks a hundred feet deep is com-posed of less than one glass of water—divided into sixty billion droplets. In the right form, a few gallons of water can cripple a large city. Similarly, the object of a person’s worry is usually quite small compared to the way it can cripple his thinking or harm his life. Someone has said, “Worry is a thin stream of fear that trickles through the mind, which, if encouraged, will cut a channel so wide that all other thoughts will be drained out.”

All of us have to admit that worry is a part of life. The Bible commands us, however, not to worry. Worry is the equivalent of saying, “God, I know You mean well by what You say, but I’m just not sure you can pull it off.” Worry is the sin of distrusting the promises and providence of God; yet we do it all the time.

Worry means you are disbelieving Scripture. You can say, “I believe in the inerrancy of Scripture. I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of every word,” and then just live your life worrying. You are saying you believe the Bible, but then worry about God fulfilling what He says in it.

Worry means you are being mastered by circumstances. Let the truths of God’s Word, not your circumstances, control your thinking. By worrying, you make the circumstances and trials of life a bigger issue than your salva-tion. If you believe God can save you from eternal Hell, also believe He can help you in this world as He has promised.

Worry means you are distrusting God. If you worry, you’re not trusting your Heavenly Father. And if you’re not trusting Him, perhaps it’s because you don’t know Him well enough. Study God’s Word to find out who He really is and how He has been faithful to supply the needs of His people in the past. Doing so will help give you confidence for the future. Allow His Word to indwell you richly so that you aren’t making yourself vulnerable to Satan’s temptations to worry.

—John MacArthur, Strength For Today

Residents Enjoy Legends

Baseball Game

Several Bourbon Heights residents took the opportunity to get out and cheer on the Legends for a midday baseball game June 28th at 12:30 in Lexington. The Legends may have lost, but the residents had a fun exciting time! They were able to watch the game just a few rows up from third base and enjoyed baseball hotdogs and chips. Pictured to the right is Resident Phyllis Reed with the mascot, Big L.

Joseph allen center wins big

Center Director, Sandy Hedges said she expected blue ribbons for all of the entries, but when the group arrived at the fair, every single one of their entries had won the purple ribbon, the grand prize ribbon! The winnings from the arts and craft competition will be used to help with group outings.

Organic control of

harmful insects

This all-purpose spray is effective against leaf-eating pests and mosquitoes.

1 garlic bulb (chopped)

1 small onion (chopped)

1 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 quart water

Steep for one hour; strain.

Add 1 TBS non-detergent liquid soap. Spray the undersides of leaves where pests are found. Avoid contact with eyes or nose. Wear gloves. Store up to one week in refrigerator.

Some insects are beneficial: Ladybugs feed on aphids, and ground beetles feed on grasshoppers and aphids.

Certain plants can help deter insets. Oil in the mint herb deters mosquitoes; marigolds, rose-mary, and lemongrass are repulsive to plant-eating aphids.

Total Solar Eclipse Coming

On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treat-

ed to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality

can see one of nature’s most awe inspiring sights - a total solar

eclipse. This 70-mile path, where the moon will completely cov-

er the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona - can

be seen, will stretch from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South

Carolina. Observers outside this path will still see a partial solar

eclipse where the moon covers part of the sun. —space.com

Many people have noticed changes in animal behavior, birds

going to sleep, cats and dogs being confused, as a solar eclipse is

in progress. In this opportunity for research, U.S. will make scien-

tifically-valuable observations of many aspects of this behavior.

You can even join the California Academy of Sciences in con-

ducting research into behavioral changes in plants and animals

during a total solar eclipse. Link is https://www.calacademy.org/

citizen-science/solar-eclipse-2017. —NASA.gov.org

The last time most Americans experienced a total solar eclipse was 1991. The exceptionally long path over land of this total eclipse will provide an unprecedented opportunity for cross disciplinary studies of the sun, moon, Earth, and their interac-tions. Stars and planets will also be visible. NASA is supporting research, all of which can help scientists take continuous meas-urements of the sun and the eclipse’s effects on Earth for rela-tively long periods of time. The research covers nine different states across the country. Some involve testing with new and improved equipment, all gathering data to answer questions such as: Why is the Corona (the sun’s atmosphere) so much hotter than the surface of the sun? How does the sun generate space weather? How does the eclipse affect the ionosphere, which is the outer magnetized shell of the earth. One research project involves NASA’s twin WB-57 airplanes actually “chasing” the eclipse gathering data and an added bonus, the planet, Mercury, which will be visible during the eclipse.

—NASA.gov.org

Western Kentucky is in a narrow swath of the path, Hopkinsville, Paducah areas, and will be able to observe a total eclipse about noon. We in central Kentucky will be able to observe a partial eclipse between 1 and 3 pm.

If you watch, be sure and use ISO-rated glasses to protect your eyes.

Hiding in the spotlight,

a true story by Greg Dawson.

The extraordinary story of a young girl whose musical genius saves her from the Holocaust.

By the age of six, Zhanna had devel-oped a repertoire fellow students twice her age would envy. Scholarships to the most prestigious conservatories in the Soviet Union soon followed—conservatories that had produced legends like Rachmaninoff, Kogan, and Horowitz.

In 1941 disaster strikes. The Nazi Army is smashing through the Ukraine en route to Moscow. Zhanna and her family are to be executed alongside thousands of others in the ravines of Drobitsky Yar. A few short miles from certain death, her father bribes a nearby guard, and she escapes into the forest with only the clothes on her back, a copy of Chopin’s Fantasy Im-promptu in her pocket, and her father’s parting words echoing in her head: “I don’t care what you do, just live.”

Adopting a new identity and ever fearful of recogni-tion, Zhanna roamed the ravaged countryside. One lonely evening, the head of a local Nazi battalion hears her play. he is so taken with her exquisite inter-pretation of Chopin that little Zhanna soon becomes the performing darling of the Nazi forces.

Benefits of cinnamon

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word cinnamon? If it’s not its distinctive taste, it’s got to be its distinctive smell. Cinnamon’s pleasant aroma is well known and is even found in several places in the Bible.

Thankfully, cinnamon is widely available today and has many uses and benefits.

Slows the aging process. “Researchers have identified 41 different protective compounds of cinnamon to date!” (—draxe.com)

Reduces inflammation. “Researchers have iden-tified over seven kinds of flavonoid compounds alone in cinnamon, which are highly effective at fighting dangerous inflammation levels through-out the body.” (—draxe.com)

Protects heart health. Helps lower high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and high triglyc-eride levels.

Adding just a half teaspoon cinnamon to your daily diet may support good health. Sprinkle on cereals, use it in baked goods, use a stick in your hot drink or even add a small amount to chili. Some believe Cey-lon cinnamon may actually be the best kind and it’s commonly found in health food stores.

Strange things

Police captured an unlikely drug smuggler —a homing

pigeon—carrying a custom-made backpack loaded

with ecstasy pills. Other unlikely smugglers reported:

iguanas and cats.

A Michigan woman was convicted of first-degree

murder on Wednesday (July 19) in a bizarre case that

included psychics, mysterious death threats and a

parrot as an alleged eyewitness. "Shut up," the Afri-

can grey parrot can be heard saying in a deep voice in

a video allegedly taken a few weeks after the murder.

He also says, "Don't [expletive] shoot."
