Did you know that more people believe in heaven than hell? Even if they do not believe in the actual existence of the place, almost everyone has their own concept. Some people believe it’s where all the “cool people” go, and that only fuddy-duddies go to heaven. They laugh and joke about the wild parties that take place, and that the “real” party won’t start until once they arrive. Others believe we are living in hell now and that our only escape is by death into heaven.

This is the third year for the Jewish Hospital-Shelbyville Auxiliary’s Body Mind & Spirit Awards.  The Auxiliary created these awards to honor women in our community – not with a focus on business or industry, but to recognize the contributions of women who serve as examples to the rest of us for their stewardship of home, health or spiritual matters.

Adam Villanova received his Eagle Scout award in a ceremony May 3.  His is the son of Mike and Anne Villanova of Taylorsville.

Taylorsville Mayor Don Pay awarded Villanova with a proclamation honoring his commitment to scouting.  U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Robert Mackenzie also gave an award to Adam for his achievement.

Scoutmaster Kelly Creed gave the Eagle Presentation, and David Haskell,special guest speaker, gave a stirring presentation of the Eagle Charge, which is a challenge to live up to the honor code of Eagle Scout.

“I have not seen or heard from my son in four weeks. I know he was alive a month ago because he stopped by his grandparent’s house asking for food and money. You see, my son is running from multiple warrants for drug possession. I know that he has guns, and I’m afraid he’ll kill himself or someone else–including me. I’m actually praying he will get arrested and go to prison so that he can at least realize that he has a problem.
