  • Finding Gospel in the Charlie Daniels Band

    The best way to learn is to teach or mentor another person. 

    Through the years of my ministry, I’ve mentored a number of seminary students who were serving churches in our county. One of those was Bert Montgomery who served the Campbellsburg Baptist Church while attending Baptist Seminary of Kentucky. (By the way, Baptist Seminary of Kentucky is located on the campus of Georgetown College.)

  • About Lincoln

    After reading the letter from Joe Yates, I am reminded of that old adage: “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.”

    Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President, would still be very proud of the present-day Republican. (And because Mr. Yates is mistaken, to clarify, the Henry County Republican Party has an annual chili dinner each February around Lincoln’s birthday, and will proudly host its annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner later this spring).

  • Crossing party lines

    On Saturday, March 4, Henry County residents showed their support of economic growth by crossing the fences of party lines and joining together for the first meeting of We The People of Henry County. 

    The goals of the organization are to bring the community together to be involved in local issues, to build interest in expanding the I-71 corridor, encourage pro-growth which includes growing a budget and rainy day fund, and networking with organizations to help grow our community.

  • Disappointed in bills passed

    Through a series of extreme parliamentary maneuvers that kept teachers and other interested Kentuckians from effectively voicing their concerns, the House Majority forced a vote on the “charter schools” bill Friday in an early morning committee meeting, before rushing the measure to the House floor where it passed on a 56-39 vote.

  • Several bills leave Senate for House consideration

    Late nights, packed committee meetings, and heated debate marked the fifth week of the 2017 Session. The Senate is quickly passing the remaining Senate bills out and receiving bills from the House for consideration. While there were some contested issues, the Senate conducted itself in a bipartisan fashion. We wasted no time this week and passed over 40 pieces of legislation including:
