Dear Editor,

As we travel this highway called life many things happen that may be considered interruptions. We grow up, have families, acquire careers perhaps, lose loved ones and in some cases our health may become compromised. But to God Be the Glory! That is what I want to talk about, when your health becomes compromised. [Full Story »]

We’re all familiar with the woes of boys named Sue and girls named Johnnie. If you’re looking for an unusual name, don’t choose James, John, Robert, or Michael. Those are the four most common male names in the USA, according to the names turned in to the census recently. [Full Story »]

Several irate people, especially Sammy, have, over time, asked me to write about our local dog pound and how hard it is to adopt a pet from there. I stayed away from this subject until now that a tally sheet from the pound was delivered to me, which shows the grand total for the year 2010 of animals and their fates. The tally is as follows:

Adult dogs adopted—17; transferred—61; died in captivity—13; sent to the gas—1601; reclaimed by owners—125; escaped—0.

Puppies adopted—34; transferred—20; died in captivity—28; put to death—1802; reclaimed—19; escaped—1. I can assure you that cats and kittens fared no better. [Full Story »]

The long ride up from Georgia on Monday had finally taken its toll. B. J. and I sank into the gentle king size bed and slipped away into dreamland with visions of apple pie and ice cream dancing in our heads.
The night seemed to go too fast. When we awoke, the cushy bed whispered to us, “Hey, it’s a great day for cuddling and ordering breakfast in bed.” [Full Story »]
