Dear Editor,

We need to wake up, look up and get up. The doors are open in all our lives. Everything we need is in Jesus, so we need to seek him before it’s too late, or are we along just for the ride? God is watching. [Full Story »]

God’s plan was to make things better for us, He gave up His only son, who hung, bled and died on the cross, so we could have life, and have it more abundantly. God loves us so much He created so many, many things that we might be happy. So, why can’t we try and make others happy as we would like to be happy by showing love, sharing and having a spirit of helping others? Everything belongs to God anyway. For when we are down to nothing, God is up to something. He can take little and make much. When we are down and out, we are still something in His sight. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor,

On Thursday, May 29, 2014 I had surgery at the Appling County Hospital. The surgery was to remove a mass on my left buttock and was performed by Dr. Jeffrey Butler. I had discovered the mass a couple of weeks earlier and made an appointment to see Janey Britt, Nurse Practitioner, for Dr. Errol Graham, who is my local “doctor”. “Doctor” Britt ordered an ultrasound and the day after my having the ultrasound, she advised me of the contents of the pathology report and recommended I see Dr. Butler. He was able to see me that day fortunately, and after looking at the mass on a device that appeared to be a computer, showed it to me and told me it, “had to come out.” Of course any “mass” is a word most of us don’t want to hear. Dr. Butler immediately scheduled the surgery for May 29 and explained what he would do and what I would need, including someone to drive me. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor,

I have always believed that any American who works hard and treats other people the same as they like to be treated will be able to succeed in life. Americans should be free to innovate and profit from their hard work, their risks and their sacrifices. God has given us all a talent and He expects us to use it. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor,

Paul learned three lessons in trying to deal with old sinful desires. Let us take a look at Romans 7:14-24. There must have been warfare/battles for Paul, for we know that God has all the answers. Thank be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! He (Paul) concluded that only Christ could give him victory over sin. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor, and to whom it may concern,

Can’t we see? Or have we forgotten? Man says what he is going to do, but has forgotten who is in control. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor and to whom it may concern,

One of the reasons many may not be able to have victory over their emotions is because they have not been called to accountability concerning their emotions, and victory only comes by becoming responsible. [Full Story »]

Dear Editor,

Everyone that I know in the Baxley community has been upset over Mandy Courson’s death since it occurred in January 2013. We were all somewhat relieved when her husband confessed his guilt in her death. Hopefully the community can now start a journey toward healing. [Full Story »]
