Today's Opinions

I am trying to help out my “adopted son in law” who was recently deployed to Afghanistan.
His group will be in un-insulated tents this winter.  Temperatures fall well below zero.
Looking to send him and his fellow soldiers some warm (new) blankets or any other supplies that you think will be helpful.  As we are snug and warm in our heated homes, our soldiers will be sleeping in a tent. They will be having a cold winter there.

In this issue, I wrote a story about Port Royal Baptist Church.

I conducted interviews, collected anecdotes and researched the church’s history.

What I hope comes out of the story is what a foundation a church can serve in a rural community.

I don’t dare write a persuasive argument for your attendance, but I write this out of my own gratitude.

I don’t think I would be the same person I am today without growing up in a church.

The church served so many purposes in my childhood and my community.

At the end of each legislative session, there is understandably a lot of discussion about what the General Assembly has passed.

Although not given as much fanfare, the early to middle part of summer is an important period as well, because – other than those relatively rare cases when there is a specific enactment date or an emergency clause – that is when all legislation actually takes effect. This year, that date fell on June 25.
