Dear Editor,
I would like to thank the many people that showed up to the benefit concert that was given in my honor on May 11, 2012 at St. Paul Church of God in Christ in Surrency. Let me go back first of all and honor my Pastor, Supt. James Frank Carter and wife, Elect Lady, Joyce Carter, along with their daughter, Jacqueline Carter that worked so tirelessly to get in different renowned singing artists to come and make the concert a great benefit from their hearts about the love of Jesus.

Working in the garden
Dear Editor,
Everyone should want a beautiful garden. If you don’t, don’t plant one. A garden takes time to grow and be made beautiful. [Full Story »]

Concerned about the children
Dear Editor,
These children are not someone wandering out in a pasture hoping someone would haul them some food. Now these children I am referring to are the children attending the Fourth District School and they should have the same equal opportunity as others in the Appling County School System. They should not be singled out to have their meals prepared at one school at Appling County Middle School and hauled out to Fourth District School; 15 miles out one way to carry breakfast – 15 miles back to middle school, get lunch and carry lunch back to Fourth District another 15 miles and then back after lunch another 15 miles. In addition the school system will have to purchase a van and other equipment. Where are the savings? Does that seem like very good judgment? Truthfully it appears more like exerting authority a total of 60 miles per day to haul meals per day. Now this flip-flopping about the warming kitchen at Fourth District School; if it doesn’t work out we can always go back to preparing meals in the kitchen at Fourth District. [Full Story »]

Why we are Democrats
Dear Editor,
Here is a copy of the column by Georgia Democratic Chair Mike Berlon in the April 22, 2012 Statesboro Herald:
A letter printed in Sunday’s Statesboro Herald (“My thumbnail history of the American left from 1919-2012”) stated a number of inaccuracies about the Democratic Party- a party that I have been elected to represent as Chairman in the great state of Georgia. [Full Story »]

Has the cock crowed on you?
Dear Editor,
Thursday afternoon, when I got home from work, I went to feed the chickens and roosters. One rooster is considered the man of the house because he’s locked down with two hens. The other rooster is blind and humble; he walks around the yard with one hen. Which rooster would you respect more? The one that’s to be man of the house or the one that is blind and humble? Neither, because God has no respect a person. Amen! [Full Story »]
