Weekly Worship - March 11, 2017
Lake Chapala Baptists
Says Brother Bob Hendrick: “Mrs. McGaugh, teacher of the eighth grade advanced English and Literature class of Angleton Junior High, asked if anyone wanted to write a weekly article for the town newspaper informing the plebeians of the good things happening in public school. Mine was the only hand that was lifted in surrender to the challenge. Many more felt called to the ministry of information when they found out there was pay for the work. It was quite an enterprise finding all the five-W’s- and -H’s, getting names spelled correctly, writing it all out in long hand, and submitting it by deadline. I learned to look forward to the end of the six-week grading periods because I got to submit seventh and eighth grade honor rolls as news for my Junior High Highlights column. And, since I got paid by the column inch, I always pulled for the scholarly success of young people; especially those with compound given names (Bobby Joe, Peggy Sue) and multisyllabic surnames. My first regular paying job was to report good news. My last job is, too.”
