Poinsettias for remembrance
Friday morning, my cousin Max Newham called and invited me to go with him to put flowers in the cemeteries where our parents and our grandparents are buried. I hesitated only a minute before agreeing. I mentally cleared my calendar for part of the day and agreed to meet him in Hazlehurst.

Fathers Day
I will never forget when President Johnson instituted daylight savings time. My Grandmother, Jane Lott Vickers, who taught me to hate damnyankees and how to grow a garden, when asked what time it was, would say, “You want Kennedy time or Johnson time?” The first Sunday after the time changed, some people were at church an hour early, and some an hour late and some, like our family, were there at the right time. It was mass confusion.

Our wonderful family
B. J. and I are blessed. We have had over fifty-two wonderful years of marriage. We have had a wonderful ministry that brought us a great wealth of matchless experiences. We have been blessed to travel to many exciting places at home and abroad--and we still get on the road, sea and in the air from time to time.

The tragic shooting at Sandy Hook School
Dear Editor,
I would like to talk about the tragedy that struck our nation last week. I am talking about the Sandy Hook School shooting. I, like many others, was shocked when I heard the news about this evil act of terror on innocent children and teachers. What kind of person would do this to babies that were just starting to live and enjoy their lives? I think a person that was full of evil. Nothing else can be said about that from doctors or therapists that are trying to analyze his actions. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor,
There is so much confusion and disagreement in Washington that it’s hard to understand why we keep voting for the same people to represent all of us. They are acting just like first and second graders arguing over pencil and paper, and it is so embarrassing. Our taxes are supporting them with housing, security – you name it, we are paying for it. It’s time out. We need to think about who we want to represent us in two thousand and fourteen and sixteen. Think about it. They are only concerned about themselves; just like the rich man in Luke 16:19-24. [Full Story »]
