To protect underground utility lines, Atmos Energy observes 811 Day annually on Aug. 11 as a reminder for everyone to practice safe digging. 811 Day is an initiative led by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to make sure the practice of safe digging is echoed in communities by calling 8-11, a nationwide toll-free number, before any excavation project.

Congratulations to our Summer Reading Contest winner, Xander McAnally! ************* Generations of Montrose women—Augusta, Victoria, Willow—have always lived together in their quaint California bungalow. They keep to themselves, never venture far from home, and their collection of tinctures and spells is an unspoken bond between them. But when young Nickie Montrose brings home a boy for the first time, their quiet lives are thrown into disarray.

Even after we have had that encounter with the Lord, it is important that we daily go onward seeking the treasure of the Lord’s love and continue to welcome Him repeatedly more and more into our hearts and lives. With curiosity and drive we still need to continue seeking the newness of the Lord, in His Word and Sacrament, because His mercies are new every morning and are always making the realities of life new. See I make all things new (Isaiah 48:18-19, Rev 21:5).
