Dear Friend, Greetings and blessings to you from
Bridge-Logos Publishers in Alachua, Florida!
It seems that every time we mention our location people
ask, “Where’s that?” Well, let me give you some idea of
where we’re located. We’re in north-central Florida, not far
from Gainesville, the home of the University of Florida. So,
we’re in Gator country and now that fall is near, the
football season is in full swing. Fortunately, I haven’t
seen too many alligators lately, though this is a natural
habitat for them and a variety of venomous snakes. The
terrain and vegetation in this part of Florida is a bit
different from what one usually expects to see in Florida.
Though there are palm trees and other semi-tropical plants,
we also have many deciduous trees, such as huge oak trees
that are beautifully draped with Spanish moss, which, in
fact, is neither Spanish nor is it a form of moss. It is
actually a rootless epiphytic plant of the pineapple family!
Its long, graceful strands add a great deal of beauty to our
area—an agrarian land of rolling hills, abundant livestock,
and “Cracker houses.” By the way, it is said that the native
people of our region gave Spanish moss its name; they named
it after the Spaniard’s beards! It’s very beautiful here
and, as I look out of my office window, I am reminded of
this verse: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the
firmament sheweth his handywork” (Psalm 19:1, KJV). If
you’re ever in our area, come by and see us. Dawn &
Shawn On the Road Again Dawn Cody & Shawn Myers
will be showing our products to our customers at the
Munce CPE Show in Nashville on September 8 and 9 at the
Sheraton Music City Hotel. Please stop by and see Dawn &
Shawn at Booth 61 and take advantage of the exciting
special offers they will have for you. I’m sure you’ve seen
Dawn & Shawn’s e-mails; now here's your chance to actually
meet these two special members of our team. They will be
presenting a gift to everyone who comes by their booth.

Don’t Worry—Be Happy!
In a very real sense worry is a sin. Why would I make
such a bold statement? It’s because when we are
worrying, we are not trusting God. We must remember that
all our security comes from Him, not from any worldly
source.
Jesus said, “Behold the fowls of the air: for they
sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much
better than they?” (Matthew 6:26). Someone once said,
“Worrying is like a rocking chair; it gives you
something to do, but it doesn’t take you anywhere.”
Place all your trust and faith in God, your heavenly
Father, and He promises to reward you with peace, joy,
and everything you need.
We are so grateful for your continuing interest in
our products, and we’re glad to know they’re helping to
meet your needs and the needs of your customers.
God bless you and keep you.
Abundant blessings,
Lloyd B. Hildebrand
