Annexation, extended Sunday liquor sales addressed by city commission

At the October 18 meeting of the Pratt City Commission, the annexation of 1401 Parkview Drive, home of Roger and Patricia Shippy, was again proposed. The owners of the property were present and proposed a gradual increasing of their taxes and they would voluntarily petition to be annexed. They also requested that the 50 feet east of their property be given to them. They have put in a drive in it and have landscaped it. Bruce Pinkall said the city needed to keep the property to have access to sewer and electric lines. Pinkall did agree to begin caring for the property since it benefits the city as well. The proposal to annex the property, which is already surrounded by other properties considered part of city limits, has been tabled until next meeting to allow the Shippys to file it voluntarily.

I was listening to the news today and they were talking about all the big disasters that had happened this year. The commentators said they had never seen so many. Well if you read in Matt. 24:7, Mark 13:8, and Luke 21:11 in the Bible, it tells us that this will happen. In fact all three say it word for word. This is one of the few places that all three wrote it the same.
