SNAPDRAGON’S JOKE
For those who haven't heard, Washington State
recently passed two laws. They legalized
gay marriage and legalized marijuana.
The fact that gay marriage and marijuana were
legalized on the same day makes perfect Biblical sense.
Leviticus 20:13 says:
“If a man lies with another man they should be stoned."
Apparently we just hadn't interpreted it correctly before!

The family of Les Skelton would like to
thank all the people of the district who
have sent cards and messages of
condolence on the recent passing of our
dear father. Les lived here for 60 years
and truly loved the area and its people.
There will be a celebration of Les' life
at a later date in June.
We would like to express our special
thanks to the SWIFTS CREEK BUSH
NURSING CENTRE and in particular the
exceptional care given by Sue Carroll
which made it possible for us to care for
Les at home until the end.
