Our Reiff Family Supper Guests


We were priviledged this evening to have my Uncle Alvin Gafford, cousin Katie Gafford, and cousin Dr. Glen Reiff join us for supper!  Glen has recently 'retired' and moved to Cincinnati, OH where his wife Helen works at GBS, as my nephew Aaron Profitt also does.  Glen is 73 years old, but after having several major health problems in the past and present, he looked pretty well!  It is always a highlight to be with Uncle Alvin (85) and Katie.

We serve a Great God!

This week in our local paper, there are reports of a controversy going on at a large meat packing plant. Over 100 Somalian refugees who work there have been fired because they walked off the job when they couldn't break for prayer times when they wanted to, here in their month of Ramadan.


Muslim employees of Greeley’s JBS Swift & Co. meatpacking plant congregate Monday at Lincoln Park, 10th Avenue and 9th Street in Greeley, to hear the compromise reached by the Somali Muslim community leaders and the executives at Swift. The workers are asking the company to allow them to have their break at 7:30 p.m. to break their fast of Ramadan.


I am so glad to have a God to serve who allows me to talk to Him any time, any where, in any position, even with my eyes open as I work, without inconveniencing other people or neglecting my duties!  And... He actually hears and answers!  The Lord is worthy of our praise!
