Tom Methvin, our Managing Shareholder, furnished a verse for this issue. Tom believes this verse speaks to all of us at the firm.

And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Matthew 25:40

The following verse was furnished by my brother Billy Beasley. A graduate of Auburn University, and a pharmacist in our hometown of Clayton, Billy is the Democratic nominee for the Alabama State Senate in District 28. It’s a verse that all public servants should take to heart.

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.

Phil 2:3-5

Rev. Walter Allbritton, a pastor at St. James United Methodist Church in Montgomery, sent in what he says is one of his favorite verses:

Romans 8:28

Les Steckel, the national director for the FCA, sent in this verse:

1 Corinthians 9:24

Johnny Houston, who is a long time employee at Pickwick Antiques in Montgomery, sent a verse in this month. Johnny, who is a hard worker, is very popular with Pickwick customers. He is a good man and says he really likes the following verse:

Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The LORD has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn – shout for joy before the LORD, the King. Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.

Psalm 98
